Born on a sugar plantation in Java at the turn of the 20th century, psychic, alternative healer, and writer Dora van Gelder Kunz was to become one of the most unique and unforgettable women of her age. This biography traces her life from her signs of clairvoyant ability in early childhood through her pioneering development, with Delores Krieger, of Therapeutic Touch; her presidency of the Theosophical Society in America; and, finally, her death at ninety-five. Among her several seminal books in the genre of modern esoteric literature are The Real World of Fairies, The Personal Aura, and Spiritual Healing. Those who knew Dora were captivated by her blunt honesty, tremendous perception, deep compassion, and infinite capacity for hilarity. As this book lovingly chronicles, hers was indeed a most unusual life.
Set in 1920s Sydney, the heyday of Theosophy and other 'new religions', Towards a Better World explores a time bursting with new and exciting ideas - but also with rumours concerning clergy and young boys. Based on family stories and careful research, Stephanie Claire tells the story of a group of young Theosophists and their new friend Ed Best, who mix in a heady world featuring luminaries such as activist and orator Annie Besant, 'new world Teacher', Krishnamirty, and the dominating figure of Bishop Charles Leadbeater, resident at The Manor in Mosman, Sydney, where ideals and realities may collide. Stephanie Claire's literary output includes biographies, children's books, radio programs and short stories.

Dora Kunz galt im 20. Jahrhundert als eine der einflussreichsten Heilerinnen ihrer Zeit. Menschen, die eine Behandlung von ihr erleben durften, sprachen bewundernd und zutiefst dankbar von ihren einzigartigen „Schmetterlingsflügeln“, womit sie die sanfte, heilsame Berührung ihrer Hände bezeichneten. Sie war allerdings nicht nur eine begnadete Heilerin, sondern, als langjährige Präsidentin der Theosophischen Gesellschaft der USA, eine große Eingeweihte in die esoterischen Lehren. Zudem verfügte sie über eine außergewöhnliche Hellsichtigkeit, die sie immer wieder auch in Zusammenarbeit mit Ärzten einsetzte, um Krankheiten zu diagnostizieren und Menschen zu heilen. Ihre tiefsten Einsichten in das Heilungsgeschehen werden in diesem Buch erstmals gesammelt veröffentlicht. Es dürfte kein zweites Werk geben, in dem praktische Heilungserfahrungen und eine tiefsinnige geistige Schau auf so beeindruckende Weise gemeinsam enthüllt werden.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric condition that affects nearly 2% of the general population, predominantly women. Symptoms of BPD include impulsivity, mood swings, unstable intense relationships and feelings of chronic emptiness. Research on BPD has lagged behind that on other mental health conditions, such as depression and psychosis, primarily due to the lack of evidence of effective treatment but also due to the stigma historically associated with the condition. Fortunately this situation is changing, with improved treatments now available and improved clinician/organizational willingness to engage with those with a diagnosis of BPD. This book provides people with BP...
"First developed in the early 1970s, Therapeutic Touch is an innovative and accessible approach to whole-body healing that has been demonstrated to induce relaxation, relieve pain and accelerate the body's natural healing process. Although Therapeutic Touch has been used by tens of thousands of nurses and other health practitioners, this book brings together, for the first time, the studies and research that support the validity of this treatment when used as an adjunct to regular medical care. Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary interpretation of several ancient healing practices and this clear-sighted guide shows how, and why, it can strengthen the immune system, relieve chronic pain, and ...
The relationship between a parent and a child is without any doubt one of the most influential and intimate relationships over the life course of an individual. Children resemble their parents in a variety of life outcomes such as socioeconomic status, family formation characteristics, and political views. There is growing evidence that some families – despite interventions by child protection services, judicial sanctions, and social mobility – are stuck in patterns of criminal behaviour, poverty, substance abuse, teenage parenthood, and other negative life events. This is a growing global problem for which currently no solution is available. This book brings together the most important ...
