THYROID POWER
10 Steps to Total Health
by RICHARD L. SHAMES, M.D.
and KARILEE HALO SHAMES, R.N., Ph.D.
HarperResource
$25 (hardcover)

Two weeks ago, I was seated on the floor of a local
bookstore, surrounded by heaps of books and searching for any
kind of help with my pesky diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis.
Id found books on simple low or high thyroid problems,
but couldnt find anything dealing with the new issue of
autoimmune diseases.
When asked, many of my friends
have told me they have fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, Addisons,
or some other autoimmune problem, but when I press them about
diets, supplements, or other alternative advice, theyve
all shared that the only source for answers has been experimentation
and word-of-mouth solutions.

WISDOM OF
THE ANIMALS
Communication Between Animals
and the People Who Love Them
by RAPHAELA POPE and ELIZABETH MORRISON
Adams Media
Corporation
$12.95 (softcover)
reviewed by Ariele M.
Huff
If you are an animal lover, the stories in Wisdom
of the Animals will touch your heart. If youve ever
wondered about the way psychics, particularly animal communicators,
work, the book is almost a step-by-step travelogue for a journey
into that kind of thinking.
The book answers the enticing
question, "If animals could talk, what would they say?"
Whether you believe that the authors actually communicate with
animals or not, asking the question should lead any reader down
a fascinating path. Exploring how animals experience our treatment
of them and the world around them seems a valid extension of
personal spiritual growth work.

LOVE AND THE
WORLD
A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice
by ROBERT SARDELLO
Lindisfarne
Books
$16.95 (softcover)
reviewed by Christian
Malcher
Words are powerful entities. Sometimes they are
mirrors that capture time and being; other times they are the
beholders of wisdom, magic, and beauty; and, at still other times,
they transform and create the world. In the book Love and
the World, words facilitate a deep transformation: they touch
the innermost part of the self, turning it into consciousness
and creating a new way of perceiving ourselves and everything
and everyone around us.
The author, psychoanalyst Robert
Sardello, defines a new psychology: "Spiritual psychology
is an active practice that develops embodied, conscious soul
life to make that life open and receptive to the spiritual realms.
This is done as an act of love towards ourselves, others, and
the world."

MOONLIGHT
ON THE GANGA
by CLAIRE KRULIKOWSKI
DayBue Publishing
Ink
$14.95 (softcover)
reviewed by Mirra Lee
How does one review a book thats
so lyrical it could have been set to music in its entirety?
Ms. Krulikowski, a local author
and frequent New Times contributor, traveled to India
to help prepare an ashram for a dedication ceremony, to write
about that event, and to complete final chapters on a biography
or so she thought. She quickly discovered that Spirit
had other ideas about the purpose and meaning of her trip. Her
insights, written as a series of spiritual essays, are poetically
captured in this wonderful book.
