Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice explores the central role the body has in and for traveling and thus complements and expands upon existing research in travel studies with new perspectives on and insights in the entanglement of bodies and traveling. The case studies assembled in this volume discuss a variety of traveling practices, experiences, and media with chapters featuring Asian, American, and European historical and contemporary perspectives. Truly interdisciplinary in its approach, the volume identifies and examines diverse literary, historical and cultural texts, contexts, and modes in which traveling and the body intersect, including ‘classic’ travelogues, (new) media (e.g., film, digital travel apps), surf culture, and travel-inspired tattoos. The contributions offer various avenues for further research, not only for scholars working with body theory and travel (writing), but also for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, culture, media, and embodied practices of traveling.

The Border and Its Bodies examines the impact of migration from Central America and México to the United States on the most basic social unit possible: the human body. It explores the terrible toll migration takes on the bodies of migrants—those who cross the border and those who die along the way—and discusses the treatment of those bodies after their remains are discovered in the desert. The increasingly militarized U.S.-México border is an intensely physical place, affecting the bodies of all who encounter it. The essays in this volume explore how crossing becomes embodied in individuals, how that embodiment transcends the crossing of the line, and how it varies depending on subject positions and identity categories, especially race, class, and citizenship. Timely and wide-ranging, this book brings into focus the traumatic and real impact the border can have on those who attempt to cross it, and it offers new perspectives on the effects for rural communities and ranchers. An intimate and profoundly human look at migration, The Border and Its Bodies reminds us of the elemental fact that the border touches us all.

Lucid dreaming, astral projection, out-of-body experiences... There is much philosophical baggage implicit in these terms, but in this refreshing and humorous book Alan Guiden casts it all aside to present the most intelligible guide to 'traveling' outside the body that has yet appeared in print.

Free yourself from the constraints of biology, gravity, and distance. Go into outer space, the depths of the ocean, or anywhere your heart desires—without worrying about your physical body. With this book, you will learn the truth about astral healing, reuniting with loved ones on the astral plane, your astral guides, the other side of death, near-death experiences, and astral visions of the future.

Now, out-of-body experience is accessible to everyone. It is now known how to easily master it and apply it effectively. It is new way for obtaining information, influencing the physiology, meeting the deceased, visiting any place in the universe etc. This guidebook is the result of ten years of extremely active personal practice and study of the the phase state (lucid dreaming and out-of-body experience), coupled with having successfully taught it to thousands of people. I know all of the problems that are usually run into when getting to know this phenomenon, and have tried to protect future practitioners from them. This guidebook was not created for those who prefer empty reading. It is for those who would like to learn something. It contains no speculations or stories, only dry facts and techniques. Contrary to popular opinion, there is nothing difficult about this phenomenon. The techniques work in literally a couple of attempts. More info and full FREE version on www.obe4u.com
