  1. The healing instincts of animals Animals have an uncanny knack for healing, not just others but also themselves. Kindred Spirit meets some unusual healers – across many species Many years ago I went for a very emotional counselling session – my counsellor was a large shire horse. Therapist Helen Wingstedt worked with a herd of horses to explore what her clients needed to learn about themselves. The interaction was mighty strange and Helen’s interpretation of what the horses were doing w

• Book Reviews

  1. There is a massive glut of books on shamans and many of them follow the tried-and-tested Castenada approach of left brain student engaging with right brain shaman. It is easy to relate to a student with doubts that get dispelled as the book goes on. As such, I was expecting this to be quite a formulaic book. What a delight then to be drawn more and more in with every page holding a new surprise. The author

  2. Okay, full disclosure, I’m mentioned in this book. My name appears a couple of times on the tickertape of names along the bottom of every page in this well-researched, thoughtful book on angels. But then again so do the names of several other people including ‘you’.

  3. Joy Manne presents a compact guide to a therapeutic technique devised by German born Bert Hellinger. Family constellations work on the theory that events in family history such as deaths, betrayals and wars impact on future and current generations

  4. A fascinating fusion of science, fresh perspectives and amusing (sometimes startling) insights that will turn our traditional, basic (school textbook) learning about how genetics affect our nature on it's head.

  5. Ross Heaven’s book is a self-described ‘semi-fictional work’ which continues his explorations of the Celtic traditions begun in the Sin Eater’s Last Confessions. It begins with a mystery. Upon returning from university to his former spiritual tutor Adam’s village, Ross discovers that not only the man himself but Adam’s cottage and garden have disappeared! As a result he begins a search for Adam

  6. If you are leading and always lead a happy life, unaffected by stress, anxiety or other psychological problems then this book is not for you. Read no further. If, instead, like most of us, you may benefit from a self-help manual, which clearly and simply explains how to overcome emotional disturbances, then here you may find a solution. Janet Thompson draws from her experience as a practitioner to offer a drug-free form of meridian therapy:

  7. From the start of this autobiography the reader gets the impression that Aiden Storey has a huge capacity for love and expressing that love, he writes about his adored mother in such a special way as well as his connection to his faith even at such a young age expressed through the various religious holidays and festivals that make up his young years.

  8. 'Be impeccable with your word, Don't take anything personally, Don't make assumptions & Always do your best'. To these principles of the bestseller ‘The Four Agreements’, a fifth agreement is added: ‘Be sceptical, but learn to listen’. The fifth agreement uses doubt as a tool to understand how our perception is clouded by our beliefs

  9. If you’re hoping that this book will give you the lightning bolt you need, then think again! You MUST, says seasoned Guru Dr Wayne Dyer be inspiring, or ‘in-spirit’ for the magic to happen. This is about a conscious, ongoing lifestyle choice of love and forgiveness. It’s a direction as opposed to a destination. Dyer’s an prolific author and all-round expert in the field of spiritual self help and I felt that this book was an exercise in recycling. While his style is highly readab

• Readings

  1. Renowned faerie artists Brian and Wendy Froud have hit a home run with this delightful and artistically arranged oracle. I first became aware of Brian Froud’s work with the very naughty Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book and the humour of that work is apparent in some of the cards here – The Big Behind being a fine example.

  1. Dancing the Rainbow Arwyn DreamWalker has been bringing the Rainbow Dream Dance to the UK and Ireland for 20 years. Based on the dreamer’s Sundance of Turtle Island, this ceremony offers a chance to dance in honour of Grandmother Earth. Ri Ferrier speaks to Arwyn about the dance What’s the purpose behind the Rainbow Dream Dance? Its purpose is to dance with Grandmother and Her Worlds - for Her dream and for our own Sacred Dream, sending the dance as an activator of what She carries and h

  1. Ramesh Avadhani writes about his pilgrimage to Marudhamalai in Southern India and the incredible hike to the temple of Murugan “One thousand and fifty,” the temple official says in answer to my question, and points behind. Some hundred yards away stands a pavilion-like structure, a tall rectangle crowned by sculpted figures from Hindu mythology. The thousand and fifty steps begin there and trail up steeply to disappear into a thicket. Beyond rises a hill, vibrantly green and gently conto
