INNER PEACE
Soothing Music for Body, Mind & Soul
by Steve Halpern
Take a deep breath . . . close your eyes, and let the music effortlessly transport
you to a delightful place of tranquillity, balance and joy. Almost immediately, you will
notice you are breathing more deeply, and re-connecting to that special place of peace
that exists within each of us. Within each of us lies an oasis of inner peace. All to often,
however, the hectic pace and stress of daily life makes it hard to find the time to slow
down and come back into balance. For over 25 years, millions have discovered a timely
sound solution for stress relief - and now, so can you.
Play the music softly in the background, and enjoy it as "sonic incense" for yoga,
message, and relaxation. Listen deeply, and the sustained, resonant low tones and
shimmering higher harmonics become a valued ally for meditation and journeying on the
inner planes of consciousness.
Steve Halpern is the world's leading composer and recording artist of music for
relaxation, wellness and "sound health." His music has been heard on
48 HOURS, 20/20 and OPRAH. His recordings are used in homes and healing centers
around the world.

CELEBRATE YOURSELF
And Other Inspirational Essays
by Eric Butterworth
The study of Truth is much more that a mere gathering of information. It is a
process of outformation. A teacher or a book such as this one should be more than a fuel
pipe for infusing ideas. It should become a spark plug to ignite your hidden potential
where "Truth abides in fullness."
The goal of these pages is not simply to expose you to some Truth words, but
rather to redirect the focus of your mind toward Truth. It has been wisely said
that when
you have forgotten all that you have read or heard, what remains in our
consciousness is
what you have learned.
This book is composed of intentionally succinct essays covering a broad spectrum
of human needs. Each piece is an energetic flow of crisp and pithy ideas to challenge
your mind. Each is a digest of an extensive dissertation, which you will reassemble in
your mind as you read creatively.
For the most effective use of this book, don't read more than one essay at a
sitting. Spend at least fifteen minutes thinking on its ideas. Read and reread, underlining
and making notes in the margins. If time permits (and the sincere student will always
make time) lay the book aside in an experience of silence and meditation. The important
thing for your growth is not what the book brings to you, but what awakens within you
and flows forth through you. This will become your gospel.

TED BEAR'S MAGIC SWING
Story by Dianne Baker
Illustrated by Ronda Krum
A Wee Wisdom Book
Charmingly written and beautifully illustrated, here is a book to read to children
until they are capable of reading it for themselves.
"By now, the animals were beginning to suspect that Ted Bear was right about his
swing. Sarah and Tom were happier. The bees buzzed more merrily. Everyone said the
spiders' webs were more beautiful and unusual than any they had ever seen. Each day
brought more and more of the animals lined up for a turn in Ted Bear's swing. There
wasn't always enough time for everyone to have a turn. But that was a problem that was
easy to solve. Soon there were swings all over the forest so everyone could take time,
every day, just to be alone and swing ---up and down, back and forth, high and low and
high again!"
Acknowledging the gentle, guiding Presence within, Ted Bear lovingly dedicates
this story to each reader, no matter the age.
