Why doesn’t our child return our love? What are we failing to understand? What are we failing to do? These questions can fill the minds of adoptive parents caring for wounded, traumatized children. Families often enter into this experience with high expectations for their child and for themselves but are broadsided by shattered assumptions. This book addresses the reality of those unmet expectations and offers validation and solutions for the challenges of parenting deeply traumatized and emotionally disturbed children.

Since your home's health may determine your own health, this book could be a lifesaver

The classic book on house healing - 20th anniversary revised and updated edition.When this book was first published in 2000, few people were writing about geopathic stress. Increasing numbers of people are also affected by the electromagnetic fields broadcast from power lines, phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G networks etc. - what we now call technopathic stress. This book was one of the first to detail how such detrimental energies affect human health and to demonstrate, through case studies and an academic research programme, how the health of people affected has improved when the imbalances have been corrected using dowsing and spiritual healing techniques.This is essential reading for anyone interested in house healing.

While it's clear that these wavelengths are sensed, albeit unconsciously, by other living beings, the question of whether our minds still convey energy after our death, or whether such energetic charges can permeate inanimate matter, and cause it to resonate, have yet to be researched, scientifically. Healing Houses details Sheldon Norberg's two decades as a professional psychic whose career has focused on houses where the death, disease, or trauma of a prior owner left not only ghosts, but rationally inexplicable phenomena and physically palpable sensations for his clients to live with. While many of us find ourselves unable to stop thinking, those who can't suppress their ability to feel often find their homes convey unpleasant information, which in some situations can be overpowering. In reporting dozens of his cases, Norberg explains how the energy patterns of previous inhabitants affect the current residents; and more than that, how current models of physics agree with this concept. He also details the intuitive processes he uses to shift these patterns and restore energetic balance, presents a broad cross-cultural perspective to his work, and gives readers basic meditations for working on their own. "People whose homes hold lasting impressions of the deaths or trauma of the previous owners can be seriously affected, and admitting to it can put them at odds with rationality" says Norberg. "Ghosts or no ghosts, my clients find themselves affected by the negative feelings of their new homes, and frequently adjust their lives to suit these feelings." Healing Houses maps out a sophisticated metaphysical perspective and traces its development through case studies of dozens of the houses Norberg has worked in during his 20-year psychic career. Whether discussing his training in the feminine first field of Intuition Medicine, giving a global overview of house healing practices, or offering house healing basics to his readers, Norberg's wry wit shines through. But it is his compassion, for his clients, their homes, and for those whose remnant energy has manifested in some unforeseeable way, that makes this book a healing odyssey. Beginning with Transcendental Meditation at the age of ten, Sheldon Norberg's lifelong interest in states of consciousness led to a number of studies that helped organize his professional practice. After completing his Master of Intuition Medicine training at the Academy of Intuition Medicine, he earned his BA in Psycho-Spiritual Healing at San Francisco State University. His deep interest in consciousness and health led him to extensive practice in meditation and energetic healing, as well as yoga, sensory deprivation, ritual and divination. He has been featured in such media as The New York Times, New York Magazine, Booklist, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The San Francisco Examiner. "Sheldon has a unique intuitive skill set - the ability to detect and identify energy patterns held within a space. Along with this, he has formulated a process to shift aberrant energy patterns in order to induce clarity. Some intuitives heal people- Sheldon heals houses." Francesca McCartney, PhDFounder, Academy of Intuition Medicine & Energy Medicine University Psychic house healing is very serious work. I recommend anyone with an interest in energy healing in general, or in healing houses in particular, to read this book. You will walk away with a much clearer understanding of how we interface with our homes, and the contracts that we enter into with them. August 2010 Bonnie Cehovet

Based on research that was awarded the Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal, Healing Home is an exploration of the lives and health of young women experiencing homelessness. Vanessa Oliver employs an innovative methodology that blends sociology and storytelling practices to investigate these women’s access to health services, their understandings of health and health care delivery, and their health-seeking behaviours. Through their life stories, Oliver demonstrates how personal and social experiences shape health outcomes. In contrast to many previous studies that have focused on the deficits of these young people, Healing Home is both youth-centric and youth-positive in its approach: by foregrounding the narratives of the women themselves, Oliver empowers a sub-section of the population that traditionally has not had a voice in determining policies that shape their realities. Applying a strong, articulate, and systemic analysis to on-the-ground narratives, Oliver is able to offer fresh, incisive recommendations for health and social service providers with the potential to effect real-world change for this marginalized population.

Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins in the Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in a daily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy in the body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in the conventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help manage pain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating those with terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increased physical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki Energy Medicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reiki can be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create the conditions needed for healing. Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient art of touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system. As our health-care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an important tool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time. Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training: practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate it into their specialties.
