SYMBOLS OF LOVE
I CHING for Lovers, Friends and Relationships

!
 
Stephen Karcher (Little Brown and Company, London, 2002) (309 pages)

Stephen Karcher has created a wonderful book for couples using the the Chines Oracle - the I Ching.  The simplicity and beauty of  his writing, as usual, makes this book very easy reading and wonderfully rich in the contribution it can make to people who wish to enhance their relationships with each other.  Stephen presents the hexagrams as they apply to relationships, enabling readers to apply the ancient wisdom of the I Ching to the complexities of the way we love one another today.

Ken & Elizabeth Mellor joined forces with Stephen to add the richness of their approach to his.  They provided Reflections and Practices for each of the hexagrams - amounting to about 16% of the text.  As spiritual mentors they have introduced many thousands of people to meditation and other enlightening techniques.  Their experience as counsellors and psychotherapists and their shared life as a couple makes them particularly at home in the blend of the practical, pshychological and spiritual that is tne heart of this way of the lover.

An angelic guide to living abundantly

!


  It sells for A$24.95 only through Biame Network.

Usual retail price:  A$29.95

This unique and beautiful looking book speaks to us of the kinds of lives that we want to live and the sorts of people we aspire to be.  It's about prosperity in its fullest sense - abundance. 

The author, Tony Smark, says, "If you have ever longed for:

  • meaningful, satisfying work
  • time for everything in your life
  • opportunities to be creative
  • relaxation and recreation
  • perfect health
  • financial and material security
  • fun and laughter in your life
  • a life filled with love, peace and balance

then 'Prosperity' is for you."

Ken and Elizabeth agree with him.  This is a lovely book: amusing, informative, lively and very effective in the way it teaches the reader what to do in very practical terms.  They think that you will love Arch, the angel of prosperity, who has a great deal to offer of worldly significance. 

This book is a wonderful integration of a great deal of what Ken and Elizabeth have taught for many years about making the most of life and living easily and well.  And it's very much more.
