Paperback. Condition: Good. The Six Healing Sounds has a long history in China. Used as a self-cultivation tool, it is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine where sounds have a connection to the internal organs. The Chinese name is Liu Zi Jue, meaning, literally, six characters knack or secrets. The real meaning behind them is to use the sound syllable to vibrate and massage the internal organs to maintain health, or to heal if one is sick. To the Chinese, to heal means to be in harmony or balance. In fact, that is the goal of all the Chinese healing arts - to bring one into balance. The Six Healing Sounds will strengthen what is deficient, and will sedate what is excess. Six Healing Sounds Made Simple is a bold step to introduce the art to the West in its authentic form. Although there are many schools of Six Healing Sounds that are taught here, most are focusing on making loud sounds with the throat alone, and do not address the intricacies and practice of a healing nature. Hendrik Santo has made a simplified method in which the practitioner can learn and practice and immediately benefit. It is used as a method of self-healing, and can be used by anyone. Six Healing Sounds in a nutshell, can be described as almost like humming to oneself with breathing, while in meditative seating, and mental state in Samadhi. To sum it up that simply, is an over-simplification, as it takes some time to cultivate those steps. In his teachings, Hendrik Santo pays close attention to the details of mental state, physical posture, relaxation, breathing, timing, sound, mouth formation, rhythm, and duration of the Six Healing Sounds. These are further supplemented with understanding the Chinese Medicine principles and concepts behind them.…

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Near Fine. 2008 Edition. © 2005: 2nd in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: The Battle of Ganymede taught Jason Wander about the devastation of war. After seeing the deaths of his troops as well as his lover, this battle-scarred soldier is ready for peace. At twenty-five, General Jason Wander has fought and won man's only alien conflict. Now, after long years in space, he's coming home. But to what? Earth's desperate nations, impoverished by war damage and military spending, are slashing defence budgets. There's just one problem with this new worldwide policy: the first alien invasion was merely Plan A. Suddenly, the real assault begins: Earth is attacked by a vast armada of city-sized warships. To block their invasion, mankind has only one surviving craft and a single guerilla strike force: a suicide squad led by Jason Wander:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 2008 Edition. © 2004: 1st in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: When Earth needs heroes, who will we call to valour? When flares streaking across the sky herald massive destruction, who will defend us? When mankind's enemy is beyond our worst imagination, we will need champions. Will we pick the brightest and the toughest - or the ones with nothing left to lose? War is an Orphanage. Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporise whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with obsolete twentieth-century weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander - orphans that no one will miss - must dare to embark on man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure will be our extinction:- Review(s): "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Near Fine. 2008 Edition. © 2008: 3rd in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: Jason Wander is on the firing line again - but this time not as a soldier. He's about to discover that command itself can be an even greater challenge. In the years since the last Slug War, Jason's command style hasn't made him any friends in the army. Now, in an effort to keep him out of trouble, the Army has sent Jason to the vast, Earth-orbiting resort called New Moon. At the core of this enormous space station is a starship, a relic of the last war. When a test run of the ship goes wrong, Jason, along with a handful of others, is torn from orbit and thrust into space. Now, stranded on an alien planet, Jason realises that not only are his friends looking to him for rescue, but an entire planet sees him as their only hope:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "Penetrates to the heart of Heinlein's vision" - Washington Post / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99).
