    Empowering the Soul: A Collection of Essays Exploring Global Healing and Spiritual Well-Being

    This compilation of inspiring essays is gathered from a series of talks at the Sacred Link Conference in September, 2004, at the Himalayan Institute. It presents a practical and holistic vision for global healing and spiritual well-being. The Sacred Link Conference brought together pioneers in this healing revolution—alternative energy experts, diplomats, business executives, educators, yoga teachers, holistic health practitioners, and environmentalists. Their keen insights and overall vision of hope that emerged at the end of this gathering sparked the idea for a book that could reach an even wider audience and stand as a lasting vision of a more peaceful and compassionate world. Order your copy of Empowering the Soul and discover a holistic vision of global healing.

    Authors in this book include Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD; Rolf Sovik, PsyD; Sandra Anderson; Carrie Demers, MD; Ishan Tigunait; Deborah Willoughby; Kiran Bedi, PhD; John Davies, PhD; Jatin Desai; Irene Landers; Stephen Nezezon, MD; and Sharon Wilkinson
