	Parenting the Children of Now offers a refreshing change in perspective about parenting that aims at recognizing adult attributes and belief systems that ultimately lead to dysfunction. It then teaches healthy life skills to overcome these belief systems. It shows parents how to mine for their own truth, understand their purpose in life, stop sabotaging their own and their children’s lives, discover their passion, and live their truth. Each chapter offers insightful ideas and strategies, and ends with exercises for parents to do for their own development and another set of exercises to do with their children. From the Introduction: “Life is a series of choices, moment to moment. In each of those moments are signposts, clues, and even synchronicities that bring us closer to our intended goals. If we are living in fear, if we are bound by uncertainties, if we are worried about what has already happened or what is next, we are missing the boat. Parenting the Children of Now will teach you how to shed those fears, uncertainties, and perceptions of being less than, and bring you clearly onto a path of universal co-creation. Parenting the Children of Now will not only bring you self-empowerment, but will also empower your children. This is not just another self-help book. It is a book with an attitude. In it, you will find no-nonsense truth that may hit you square between the eyes or straight in the heart. So be it. If you don’t want change in any aspect of your life, please put this book down and go do something else. We can indefinitely or forever skirt around our issues, or we can quit deluding ourselves and get to it. Parenting the Children of Now is a journey through self, an embracing of the infinite possibilities that are available to us as human beings and infinite souls.” Unless parents are comfortable with who they are they can’t help their children be who they are meant to be – gifted beings with a message for humanity and the future of our world. This helpful book is one that parents will turn to again and again as they face struggles with their children, as they learn to live life to its fullest, and take pleasure in the life they are creating with their children with Dr. Meg’s help.
	*Less Is More* by Mina Parker is a glorious celebration — in words and images — of simple and profound answers. But, is there any way to live the good life in an environment of scarcity? Parker answers with an unequivocal, “Yes.” She writes, “We can embrace simplicity as a desired outcome rather than a hardship we can’t control. We can throw ourselves into new creation and transform our circumstances into new opportunities by embracing a credo of recycling and renewal. Most of all, we can give back and move forward through a daily practice of gratitude and the intense joy it brings us.” We only have to remember that in all sorts of situations, less really can be more. We can embrace simplicity as a desired outcome rather than a hardship we can’t control. We can understand that our outlook, our attitude, and our ability to see the glass as being half full, again and again, day after day, is the key to our happiness. – Mina Parker

	*Serpent of Light* (Weiser Books, January 2008) Drunvalo Melchizedek explains and explores how every 13,000 years on Earth a sacred and secret event takes place that changes everything. Mother Earth’s Kundalini energy emerges from its resting place in the planet’s core and moves like a snake across the surface of our world. Once at home in ancient Lemuria, it moved to Atlantis, then to the Himalayan mountains of India and Tibet, and with every relocation changed our idea of what spiritual means. And gender. And heart. Drunvalo Melchizedek has been traveling and teaching in the service of higher consciousness for more than thirty years. Serpent of Light recounts some of his adventures along the way. Think a real-life Indiana Jones on a spiritual mission, with crystals instead of a gun. . .performing ceremonies guided by ancient Mayans (among others), showing us how it's possible to raise our consciousness – and all the while having fun. That's the flavor of this book. From Drunvalo's early travels to place crystals at key spots throughout the Yucatan to his recent experiences in New Zealand – this compelling narrative points the way to our future. Multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined, and multi-lived, for the first time in this book, Drunvalo begins to tell his stories of 35 years spent in service to Mother Earth. Follow him around the world as he follows the guidance of Ascended Masters, his two spheres of light, and his own inner growing knowledge. His story is a living string of ceremonies to help heal hearts, align energies, right ancient imbalances, and balance the living Earth’s Unity Consciousness Grid— in short to increase our awareness of the indivisibility of life in the universe. We are all—rocks and people and interdimensional beings—one! “Life may seem to be business as usual, but it is not. We are changing fast . . . Remember this for life is going to present stranger things to you in your lifetime, and they all have meaning and purpose . . .Only Mother Earth and ancient Maya know what’s going to happen.” —from Serpent of Light

I wrote this little book, because you don’t have to know how the wheel is made to ride in the wagon. Everyone deserves to remember exactly how it is that they are the Creator of their whole reality, which is pretty frustrating if you can’t hear your Internal Guidance let alone recognize It and then, interpret It so you can make new choices.” Never before has so much been offered for so little. If you read the book and do the online course – actually apply and practice the messages in each chapter, you will begin to remember and see positive changes in your life in no time. The companion book to the Earthling’s Quick Start Guide, Well Done, with foreward by Dr. Kenneth Blanchard, Ph.D. will be reviewed next month.
	*Wild Attraction: A Ruthlessly Practical Guide to Extraordinary Relationship* (Chelsion Press) by Paul and Patricia Richards overturns contemporary assumptions about romantic love and proposes a stunning new model of relationship, one that takes into account the far-reaching (and almost universally neglected or denied) effects of subtle energy on the process of intimacy. Written for singles and couples, the narrative is woven around 59 concise Energetic Facts of Life, each an overturning of a commonly held but unworkable notion about the dynamics of male-female connection. Every fact provides a specific extraordinary relationship practice. These, when strung together, can transform any individual relationship process from a hodgepodge of unquestioned habits into an elegant gender dance that can bring about the most profound personal transformations. Relationship is seen in this work as an accessible catalyst for extraordinary experience and personal greatness. The book is remarkably packed with entirely new ideas, yet it is warmly voiced and smoothly readable for both men and women, straight and nonstraight. Gathered on its pages are the most powerful tools developed and proven during the authors seventeen year history as relationship and empowerment lecturers. Extraordinary relationship is portrayed not merely as a source of individual gratification but as the most fundamental force available to the human race for collective betterment. A key notion in Wild Attraction is Intelligent Wild. Men and women are conditioned to think that they have to bounce back and forth between unsafe but exciting partners and safe but relatively boring ones. Intelligent Wild is the little-understood third option; relentless gender passion combined with compassionate functionality. This book makes a strong case that tame attraction doesn't work, and that keeping the wild in attraction requires education (about energy and its enormous influence on lovers), selfless ethics, and a model of sex and love that takes the human condition fully into account.
