This technique helps to empower the patient to understand how their body is a reflection of their mind and how their illness also reflects that.

Kabbalah End-Time Messages for Healing and the Return to The Garden of Eden. At the very heart of ancient wisdom are the Five Books of Moses - the Torah. But in fact, there are actually more books that have yet to be revealed - missing all these years are the last four books which contain essential insights into Kabbalah and healing that has awaited until the end of days to be revealed. Finally, we now have these last four books, which completes the nine books of Moses. Based on visions and revelations he received direct from the Garden of Eden, Doctor Moshe (Moses) Daniel, ND, reveals the contents of those missing volumes and unique "Secrets of Freedom and Healing". These miraculous truths that have been awaited for ages are revealed in this extraordinary work: The Last Four Books of Moses - your guide to freedom and enlightenment, a wondrous "Healing through the Bible." Many have sought answers in mystical teachings and have become more confused. Moshe Daniel uses a profound and simple style of writing to share this eternal knowledge to help the reader connect with their true nature. Demystifying ancient belief systems about the nature of the man and the woman, Moshe sets the record straight in this text, where he reestablishes the direct relationship we have with our true nature and our Creator, for the liberation of slavery caused by all attachments to false doctrine and the control of religion. This time, Moses will replace plagues with peace, law with love, aimless wandering with purposeful direction, and the slavery of oppressive belief systems with the freedom of total transformation! Filled with healing meditations, and exercises, poetry, and colorful artwork, this book is a rare gem for the seeker of clear and simple Truth.

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.

The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two. “This is an important book, exceptionally well written, and logically consistent with the basic premise of the unitary nature of science. Many students of society and culture would take violent issue with most of the things that Skinner has to say, but even those who disagree most will find this a stimulating book.” —Samuel M. Strong, The American Journal of Sociology “This is a remarkable book—remarkable in that it presents a strong, consistent, and all but exhaustive case for a natural science of human behavior…It ought to be…valuable for those whose preferences lie with, as well as those whose preferences stand against, a behavioristic approach to human activity.” —Harry Prosch, Ethics
