Ecstasy of Surrender 12 Surprising Ways Letting Go Can Empower Your Life
by
Judith Orloff
New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014
The Ecstasy of Surrender, Judith Orloff, Harmony Books, 2014, $26 Judith Orloff, M.D., a UCLA psychiatrist and beloved intuitive healer, masterfully explores how the power of letting go allows you to achieve personal and spiritual freedom. Combining mainstream medicine and beyond, Dr. Orloff blows apart old ideas about health, aging, sex, power, beauty and money by showing that surrender is not defeat ��" it is the missing key to true success. She defines surrender as the grace of knowing when to flow with life rather than fighting it or pushing so hard you sabotage yourself. I especially love the section on surrendering in relationships ��" how to surrender to love and let go of obsessive and “delusional” relationships that stand in the way of love. Also, you’ll learn the art of setting boundaries with toxic people and practice the mantra: No is a complete sentence. The great miracle of surrender is that you can live in the passionate zone of the heart and gain deep faith in yourself and the divinity of your life. Dr. Orloff writes, "If you're like me ��" someone who wants to become everything you were meant to be and more ��" surrender is a doorway in." Savor the wisdom and joy that jumps off of the pages. ��" Caroline Myss (Contributor to New Connexion Journal)

by
Mark Mincolla
New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014

Some of the exercises are based on ancient healing techniques. For example, Dr. Mark Mincolla’s whole health electromagnetic muscle testing, a customized system of neuromuscular biofeedback used as a vehicle for assessing, balancing and preserving Chi, is based on classical Chinese medicine, a 5,000-year-old system of human energy diagnostics. What you might enjoy best about the book is that it presents a myriad of diagnostic and healing resources for reaching optimal health such as sixth sense energy diagnosis, finding your constitution, acupuncture points, thought and word power, Qi Gong, food energy, mantras, and spirit healing for individual organs in your body. This powerful book is filled with valuable information on how you can work with your body’s intuitive nature to feel better. ��" Rasheno Nejad

New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014
How Roland Rolls, Jim Carrey, Some Kind of Garden Media, 2013, $16.95 How do you introduce young children to the concept of the interconnectedness of all living things? That life is eternal? With actor Jim Carrey’s children’s book, How Roland Rolls, you and your child can spend quality time reading an entertaining story about a wave named Roland that believes that “one day, when he hits the beach, his life will be over.” But Roland finds that he has and always will be part of the larger ocean. Roland comes to the conclusion that death is not the end: “And they saw that together they played a much bigger role ��" they were in every ice cube between the North and South pole.” With realistic illustrations that children can relate to, you can share an important and vital fact of our times: We are all indeed connected to each other and all things in the universe. ��" Rasheno Nejad

Afterlife: Afterlife: Uncovering the Secrets of Life After Death
by
Barry Eaton
New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014
Afterlife, Barry Eaton, Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, 2013, $16.95 Ever wonder what happens to us after we die? According to author and medium Barry Eaton, death is not the end but a passage into a new plane of existence. In Afterlife, Eaton describes his interviews and conversations with spirits that have made that passage while also sharing his own past-life regression death experience. He sheds light on the process of death and the journey to a new plane from a spirit’s standpoint, and how it’s a time of reflection and healing. He explores how a spirit adapts to no longer being in a body and how soul families assist with the transition. He describes how a spirit comes to understand the effects of beliefs and karma on human life, and how it’s cleared and healed. He then addresses the afterlife activities, learning and existence we can all look forward to in the great beyond. Afterlife helps answer questions about death and assuage our fears of the unknown and uncertainty about what comes after death. This is truly a heartfelt and often personal account of the afterlife, leaving the reader with a sense of certainty that the afterlife will be more than expected. ��" Kristy Musalo

Emma C Hopkins, Ruth L Miller
New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014
The Spiritual Science of Emma Curtis Hopkins, Ruth L. Miller, Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2013, $15 The Spiritual Science of Emma Curtis Hopkins is a book version of Hopkins’ influential essay “Esoteric Philosophy in Spiritual Science,” which ignited the New Thought movement. Alongside the original text, Dr. Ruth Miller offers an easy-to-understand modern interpretation of Hopkins’ teachings, showing how these principles are a part of the core beliefs of the world’s major religions. Dr. Miller provides simple and practical methods to practice the spiritual principles. As Dr. Miller writes, “Genius is simply the attention focused on one subject until the realization of something unusual is felt, then another realization, then another.” So you may find that with each small shift, you have taken a greater stride toward a new transcendent you. ��" Rasheno Nejad

Sense of Being Stared At & Other Unexplained Powers of Human Minds
by
Rupert Sheldrake
New Connexion Journal
, February 24, 2014
The Sense of Being Stared At, Rupert Sheldrake, Park Street Press, 2013, $18.95 Author Rupert Sheldrake brings forth exhaustive and comprehensive new research into various phenomena. These phenomena are often considered paranormal, but the author explains how they are really normal, and part of our innate biology. Sheldrake postulates that there are evolutionary advantages of being consciously aware of one’s surroundings and other beings, without auditory or visual cues. He asserts that research reveals that our minds extend into the world around us, and even into the future, and thus consciousness is not housed strictly within our brains. Much of the research was so highly statistically significant that skeptics would have a hard time refuting the evidence. This book seems to leave no stone unturned in its comprehensive overview of so many topics. It’s a fascinating read, and with a good index, the reader can zoom in on any subject desired. ��" Alice R. Berntson
