Hilot

This book is an eye opener to the Filipino people, who can now talk about their culture with pride, and to the scientific community, as a framework for them to take a second look.

Filipino Tattoos
Tattooing is a very old and spiritually respected art form that has existed in many different cultures around the world. After many centuries of not being practiced in Europe, tattooing was re-introduced to the Western world through the inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean.

Coming Full Circle
In this second edition of Coming Full Circle: The Process of Decolonization Among Post-1965 Filipino Americans, Professor EJR David writes a new FOREWORD and the author has a NEW INTRODUCTION. Coming Full Circle is about the healing of the Filipino colonized psyche through the recovery and re-imagination of Filipino identity and culture. It is about the emergence from the 'culture of silence' to critical consciousness that is able to develop new conceptualizations and frameworks about the Filipino American experience. Decolonization is a psychological process that enables the colonized to understand and overcome the depths of alienation and marginalization caused by the psychic and epistemic violence of colonization. Decolonization transforms the consciousness of the colonized through the reclamation of the Filipino cultural self and makes space for the recovery and healing of traumatic memory, and healing leading to different forms of activism. It is an open-ended process. It is a new way of seeing. As a way of healing, it is also a promise and a hope.

The Angelspeake Book Of Prayer And Healing
Two years ago, Barbara Mark and Trudy Griswold published a remarkable book that showed us how we could reach out to our angels for guidance, comfort, and love. Drawing on the unique angel communication techniques that these two sisters have been teaching in workshops across the nation, Angelspeak has sold more than 45,000 copies to date, and another 15,000 in its Spanish-language edition. Now the authors take us to the next step: calling upon God’s messengers for help in solving personal problems and healing. Focusing on the specific steps we can take to solicit angelic intervention in times of crisis, they offer wisdom and practical advice on such topics as getting clarity on what we want in our lives, how to be trusting no matter what happens, and the power of divine healing. Interspersed throughout are the stories of people who have used the Angelspeake process and have had their dreams fulfilled. A partnership with the divine is there for the asking—that is the uplifting message of this handsomely designed and illustrated book.
Brown Skin, White Minds
Filipino Americans have a long and rich history with and within the United States, and they are currently the second largest Asian group in the country. However, very little is known about how their historical and contemporary relationship with America may shape their psychological experiences. The most insidious psychological consequence of their historical and contemporary experiences is colonial mentality or internalized oppression. Some common manifestations of this phenomenon are described below: • Skin-whitening products are used often by Filipinos in the Philippines to make their skins lighter. Skin whitening clinics and businesses are popular in the Philippines as well. The "beauti...

Even as quantum physicists close in on a scientific description of how it works, Bryan asks: aIs psychic healing a miracle of God or a trickery of fake blood and cotton balls perpetrated by charlatans?a She goes on to explore how it might well be both. This is an open, honest, i...
