        Angle: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO 
        HEALTH 
        The mind has an uncanny ability 
          to support the health of the body. By working with your body and your 
          brain through your mind, you can enhance your own natural healing processes. 
          We can all help our bodies heal or stay healthy by taking very simple 
          steps. See backgrounder for Seven Simple Steps for Health and Well Being

        PARENTING THROUGH 
        SUGGESTION 
        
Children are very open to “suggestion,” 
          a powerful method of engaging the cooperation of their subconscious 
          minds to help them generate desired results. This means that as a parent, 
          what you say, how you listen and the examples you set can make a difference 
          in their grades, attitudes, behavior, health, and intelligence. See 
          backgrounder for Seven Simple Steps to Great Parenting

        New approach to psychology / self 
        help -- SEE THE LIGHT! 
        
Lighten up, these experts 
        suggest. And they aren't talking about finding good Internet jokes. 
        Psychotherapists Pamela Chilton, and Hugh Harmon, Ph.D show people how 
        to become involved in their own personal development and their own 
        healing using spiritual light. By visualizing a powerful light entering 
        the top of your head and flowing out to various parts of your body, to 
        loved-ones, and even the Earth itself, you can make profound 
        improvements in health and other forms of well-being. More

        HYPNOSIS: What's behind a 
        fascinating and often misunderstood phenomenon 
        
From its popularization in Europe 
          during the Enlightenment, when Franz Anton Mesmer became a sensation 
          in the parlors of wealthy nobility, hypnosis has been a fascinating 
          and often misunderstood phenomenon. Discover the ancient origins of 
          hypnosis and uncover current thinking on the matter --  including 
          how hypnosis is used to control pain during surgery.

        The truth behind those  
        UNCANNY COMMUNICATIONS WITH PETS  
        
Those of us who have a close 
        relationship with a pet know that aspects of the relationship are 
        uncanny. Do you talk to your pet and feel that they "talk" back? Did you 
        ever think your pet can read your mind or feel that you are 
        communicating non-verbally? From the ancient practices of shaman, who 
        sometimes used animals to communicate with people, to the experience 
        many of us have had of feeling the presence of a recently departed 
        animal friend, looking at the spiritual aspects of pet life is a 
        fascinating subject. More info:

Pack your bags! For some of 
          us, the idea of beginning a spiritual adventure sounds like a fantasy 
          vacation. But, like all great adventures, it's good to have a guidebook 
          and some destinations in mind. See backgrounder for Seven Simple Steps to Begin a Spiritual Odyssey.

        4.Body, Mind and 
        Spirit 
        
Many researchers are coming to 
        the same conclusion: aspects of an individual’s “mind” exist 
        independently of the body and the brain. Sometimes called "spirit," this 
        non-embodied mind communicates with the body and brain of the 
        individual. 
  
        
5.Reincarnation? 
        
The principal of reincarnation 
        is a fundamental belief of the majority of the world's population. While 
        unfamiliar to many individuals in Western cultures, exploration of 
        earlier incarnations as a form of therapy—sometimes called Past-Life 
        Regression Therapy—has become a common practice among many 
        psychotherapists worldwide. More info on Past-Life Regression 
        Therapy: 
http://www.aprt.org/ 
        
Sometimes children as young as 
        two-years-old spontaneously remember past lives that include startling 
        detail about the circumstances and relationships from those lives. While 
        often dismissed as fantasy, in a number of cases where researchers have 
        been able to confirm these stories. The most famous of these researchers 
        is Dr. Ian Stevenson who has published a number of books on the 
        topic.

          Pamela Chilton & Hugh Harmon  
          
            
        
Dr. Hugh Harmon, Ph.D. and Pamela 
          Chilton, C.Ht. who are co-authors with the "Master of Light" for the 
          book series Odyssey of the Soul met as teacher and student. 
          They now work together in an extraordinary partnership, offering self-awareness 
          and healing therapy through hypnosis. Their understanding of non-physical 
          realms, numerous modalities of healing and the many levels of human 
          consciousness is literally "mind boggling" as their many readers, clients 
          and students can attest. 
        
It is not just the individual 
          that needs healing. Chilton and Harmon emphasize that the Earth itself 
          needs spiritual healing, and that the spiritual energy produced by focusing 
          more individual energy, or prayer, towards healing is exactly what the 
          Earth needs to regain its balance. "Multiply the human minds focused 
          on light and the positive effects multiply. Surround the earth with 
          Light and all the world benefits," say  the authors.  
        
Together, Pamela Chilton, C.Ht. 
          and Hugh Harmon, Ph.D. wrote Odyssey of the Soul -- the 
          first in a trilogy of spiritually infused books of self-awareness and 
          healing for individuals and the Earth. The book is recommended as a 
          resource for articles and interviews about self-awareness, self-development, 
          metaphysics, victims of abuse, and people seeding physical, mental, 
          emotional, or spiritual healing.
