Sexuality is integral to who you are, and when someone damages that, it damages your energy field. In this book, we will work at strengthening and healing your energy field so that you become comfortable with how you choose to express your sexuality. We will show you how to dismantle the energies of non-acceptance for who you are because of who you choose to love or your confusion about the gender you feel internally versus what you display externally. We will also discuss how your sexuality influences every part of your life — how you sit, how you stand, and what you see when you look out your window. The key is to accept how you are and how others are. Lack of acceptance brings great shame, especially when you’re first discovering yourself as a sexual being. No parts of your body are shameful. That shame has been projected on to you by others. In this book, we will work specifically with areas related to gender identification, sexual attraction, sexual trauma, and confusion related to sexuality foisted on you by others.
Reflecting on the connection between the rise in chronic immune disorders and toxic environmental and lifestyle patterns, herbalist and acupuncturist Jason Elias and collaborator Katherine Ketcham looked to the 5,000-year-old The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine to seek clues for restoring the balance of body and mind. In Chinese Medicine for Maximum Immunity, Elias and Ketcham show how to use the preventive strategies and gentle, supportive remedies of traditional Chinese medicine to heal contemporary chronic illnesses and bolster immunity. The book teaches readers how to identify which element--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water--most directly influences them and how to correct imbalances that can lead to particular physical, emotional, and spiritual disorders with step-by-step instruction for using stress-reduction techniques, diet and exercise, herbs, and acupressure.

We are Amma’s Healing Friends, Amiya, and we are here for healing. Your self-healing is the goal. We will give you information that you can use to heal yourself. Every time you go to someone for healing and say, “Okay, you do it to me,” that is not participating in self-healing. However, when you go to another and actively participate in that healing, you are self-healing because you open your heart, mind, and spirit to receive the energy to receive the energy and then bring balance within you. As you go through this book, your job is to open your mind, heart, and spirit - your self - and lay yourself open. Then the healing energy sent to you balances to your highest good. The purpose of this message is to let you know that it is crucial for you to participate in your self-healing when you go to someone else, and it is critical for you to do self-healing with yourself as the healing facilitator.
