Chakras, die Zentren der Lebensenergie im menschlichen Körper, regeln den für Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden grundlegenden Energiefluß. Halb körperlicher, halb geistiger Natur, sind sie die Nahtstellen zwischen körperlichen und seelischen Vorgängen. Auch dem Leser, der mit der östlichen Chakra-Lehre nicht vertraut ist, macht dieses Buch im allgemeinverständlicher Sprache die Funktionsweise der sieben Hauptchakras verständlich
In this history of the English appetite, Pullar charts the development of the art of cooking, drawing surprising parallels between eating habits, religion and sex.
This is an introductory guide to spiritual and lay healing, now recognized as a safe and practical way of relieving pain and helping people through physical and mental illness. Its history, stretching back to ancient knowledge, its involvement with the Church and state is also explored. Philippa Pullar has written two books on healing with Lilla Bek - "To the Light" (1985) and "The Seven Levels of Healing" (1986).
Notorious writer and legendary sexual adventurer, Frank Harris scandalized Victorian and Edwardian England with his outrageous carnal exploits. He lived a sensational life surrounded by myth and exaggeration - much of which was perpetrated by himself. As a journalist Frank Harris was the chronicler of the glittering "fin de siecle" coterie which included Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, George Bernard Shaw and Aleister Crowley. But it was for his frenzied sexual escapades that he became famed - as recorded explicitly in his racy and unreliable autobiography "My Life and Loves", which was banned for its pornographic contents. Posterity has classed him as a lustful satyr and liar ever since. Yet Philippa Pullar shows that beneath the image of the bawdy Lothario lay a far more complex personality. Frank Harris was also a social reformer, traveller, literary critic and loyal friend, a man with a private, melancholy side, whose constant affairs were partly to seek the reassurance that he had never had from his cold, puritanical father. Compulsive and often outrageous, this brilliantly entertaining and deeply researched work is the fullest portrait possible of an extraordinary man.
