Clean Sweep: Banishing Everything You Don't Need to Make Room for What You Want

Clean Sweep is a very practical and extremely smart book! Based solidly on the classic alchemical elements (fire, water, earth, air, and spirit) and drawing on diverse methods from all over the world (including the spells of magick and witchcraft, the meditations of tantra and yoga, the insights of psychology and science, and the techniques of shamanism and feng shui) the author provides a wide range of powerful banishing exercises covering every aspect of life. From losing weight, fighting off illness and clearing your home to overcoming anxiety, phobias and old traumas, from daily life to spiritual crisis to psychic attack, there are over 100 meditations, exercises and exorcisms that can be used or adapted to clarify, conquer and resolve the issues and problems that challenge, vex and entangle us. Equally accessable to the beginner and inspirational to the advanced reader, this wonderful book distills an enormous amount of cross-cultural information into a treasurehouse of wisdom on what may well be the first important step toward transforming every aspect of living. Very highly recomended!

This is an extremely useful book. I understand now that banishing encompasses far more than "casting a circle" or chasing away poltergeists. Sargent extends the concept to ALL areas of life, and offers simple yet effective ways to shed the barriers to happiness and health. It's really about taking charge, and not being a victim. Humans have free will, and the power to choose what will and will not be a part of their lives. So, really, this book is about empowerment.

I have a friend who complained recently that he felt a strong need to prioritize, reorganize, and focus his life. I got this book in the mail to him the next day. I'm sure it won't be the last time I do that -it is a powerful tool that I am eager to share with others. It helped me immensely at a time when I was foundering and overwhelmed, and I'm sure it will do the same for many others.

Yes, Clean Sweep will help you order and organize your life. NO, it's not just a closet organizing manual. Only the most closed-minded will fail to note the deep respect with which the author incorporates eons of wide-ranging religious and cultural traditions into practical, helpful invitations and rituals. Clean Sweep is a good read. Use or don't use the "recipies" contained in the book, you will still get benefit from the ideas. It is written with great humor and wisdom and contains many worthwhile "ah ha!" moments for all readers. Every counselor, therapist, every person with too much "stuff," everyone who sometimes feels "stuck," and everyone trying to help someone who feels "stuck" should consult this how-to manual for "clean living." Everyone who wants to enjoy optimum living and who believes in taking responsibility for making it happen should read this book.

Heal Your Life with Home Remedies and Herbs

I would recommend any book written by Hanna Kroeger, but this one is absolutely essential to anyone interested in natural healing. In the introductory chapters, the author gives a description of the physical organs and subtle bodies and how to use the natural magnetic and electric powers of our bodies to heal ourselves and others. This sort of healing might be compared to what is most commonly known as "Reiki." The bulk of the book is a reference of diseases and disorders with herbs, vitamins and minerals that heal the specific conditions. This book is invaluable. I refer to it a few times a week. If you only own one book of home remedies, let it be this one.

It is never advertised on this book that so much of it deals with a unique spiritual outlook, such as with chakras, mind and body connections, and such. Because reading the back of the book, the front of it, or even in the title never lets the reader know this, I have to drop a point just for that alone. Usually it's clear if I'm buying a book just on herbalism, or on TCM, Ayurveda, etc....it should have been said here as well. Furthermore they didnt jump into the book right. It starts right off with the chakras as if the reader has already been given a few chapters before and just never read them.

Text is easy to understand and, while not written badly, it's clear Kroeger was more of a healer than a writer. Chapters are broken up rather abruptly and without warning -the same as their introductions.

Besides the unusual healing outlook, I did enjoy several things about this book. For one, the healing hands chapter speaks of some interesting things. While not all of them make sense to me, they are unique and worth reading about it. Curious on the nervous breakdowns and fallen arches, for example. Emotions is a chapter I did have issues with, as I never saw jealousy causing lung troubles, etc, my mind doesn't wrap around this. I'm not putting down anyone's beliefs that DO, but really no warning on this before buying the book?? The inner organ chapter was a saver, but overall just not my cup of tea.

Chapter fifteen is the "home remedies" This is all put in a simple table that lasts for pages and pages of the book. Simple: Health issue, then vitamin minerals box, then finally Spices/Herbs/Kitchen Aids reading straight across. It's all jotted this way without words for sentences. This is the herbal remedies and recommendations. How .... enlightening. There is obviously not enough to room to really list WHY the remedies are there, what she's seen happen with them, etc, etc, just a jot down of what to do.

This 'Table' lasts from 113 to 291.

Really I do admire Hanna Kroeger, she was an amazing woman and healer. This book, though, is not something I'd recommend to anybody. It does have a large amount of information, but on what exactly I don't really know at all times. Some of the info is scanty at best, and the quick jotted home remedies in a table with only 3 sections across sadly isn't what I expected.

If you are a fan of Kroeger, read this book, but otherwise pick something else up.

What Your Doctor Can't Tell You About Cosmetic Surgery

Yeah, yeah, everyone's perspective is unique. Trite concept.

Except this book has something very valuable. It contains the perspective of a clinical psychologist who elected to obtain fairly extensive cosmetic surgery (for its own sake, not in order to write this book!) and observed herself go through all the emotional turmoil that this produces, which was much greater than she anticipated. She researched the existing literature on the subject, interviewed many patients herself, and then wrote a guide for laypeople to the psychology of the process of obtaining cosmetic surgery--making the decision and dealing with the outcome, good or bad.

Don't look to this book for technical information about procedures. That can change from month to month, from doctor to doctor. Together with _Survival of the Prettiest_, this is essential reading for those considering or scheduling cosmetic surgery.

Woman's Retreat Book: A Guide to Restoring, Rediscovering and Reawakening Your True Self --In a Mome

I appreciate the thoroughness of this book, as well as its outline structure. Each chapter addresses various aspects of the retreat, breaking down the how, where, why, what, etc. in an understandable and useful way. Even more importantly, each chapter stands on its own, and you can skip around, looking for specific answers, or read the whole way through, while still gleaning the essence of the book. I am reading the book all the way thru, in order, yet have already been able to do a retreat that was useful even though I haven't gotten to the end. This aids the process of retreating, since it takes the pressure off the retreatant, and doesn't create added pressure that would dissuade one to retreat in the first place. An undaunting, very informative book.

Bravo! I applaud this author's message to women everywhere. It's time for us to learn to say "no" and take the time to fill ourselves back up again without feeling guilty. So many times I have asked a fellow mother or career woman, "How are you?" and the typical response is, "I'm so tired...I have 100 things to do..." And you know the rest of the laundry list they spout. For once I would love to hear one of them say, "You know what? I feel great! I just took a nap, or I read a novel I've been meaning to finish, or I'm going home to soak in the tub." Perhaps if more women would receive Jennifer Louden's books as gift they would begin to see how they can make this time for themselves no matter what kind of life they are living. Thank you Jennifer for spreading the word. I'm going out for a walk now for no other reason except to see how many more trees have changed their color this weekend.

I cherish my time alone. As a homeschooling mother, it's hard to come by much solitude, but when I do, I want it to be time well spent. This book is an excellent guide to making the most of any amount of time: an hour, a day, a week, or more. From preparation, to packing ideas, to plans for your time, this book is full of useful, inspirational, and exciting ideas for the woman (or man!) who craves a retreat from the busyness of life. I plan to refer to it as often as I get away from home.

This is absolutely one of the most well-read, underlined, highlighted and corners-turned-down books on my bookshelf! As a SoulCollage® facilitator and leader of many weekend retreats on the topics of wholeness, authenticity, spirituality and creative expression, there really aren't any other books out there on the topic of creating a retreat that aren't strictly Christian-oriented. Lucky for all of us that this is such an excellent resource!

I love this book because it helps me on two levelscreating my own oasis of solitude when I retreat by myself, and creating retreats for other women who are seeking Spirit and inner connection.
