Book Description
A Transformational Read: "This book is such a treasure and so needed... a transformational read that will bring benefit to anyone who has the opportunity to read it. Profound discoveries for anyone seeking to retain or revitalize the wealth of their health!!!" -- Michele Plunckett, Author of "Innate Wealth: Your Focus, Your Fortune" In The Diamond Healing Method, you'll discover how to live your life to its highest potential using a method that combines vibrational and molecular physics with ancient energy healing methods. Does any of this describe you? You don't feel good or aren't well and your doctor has been unable to help you feel better? You take pills that are supposed to keep you alive but the side effects make you feel terrible? You wake up tired even after eight hours of sleep. You are overwhelmed trying to fit so much into your life that the thought of taking on one more task sends you into a downward spiral of stress. You're short tempered and impatient with so many people and activities during your day. You've forgotten how to laugh, joke or kid around with your friends and family. You crave sweet or salty foods. You feel you can't afford to take a day off, that all your activities and the people around you are more important than you are. You've gained a lot (or lost a lot) of weight because you were eating without paying attention to what you were eating OR you forgot to eat. You seem to suffer from colds and the sniffles way too often or have a lot of body pain such as lower back or joint pain. It's chronic and the doctor can't seem to find any physical cause. You don't recover easily. You have a major illness or high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other "middle age" conditions. You suffer a lot of headaches. Things that didn't used to bother you drive you crazy now. You are sensitive to sounds, especially if there are two or three of them, like the radio, conversation and background sounds. You can't figure out why you've hit a roadblock in your life. After all, you're working hard to get ahead. Your current behavior is causing your relationships to deteriorate. You might even be considering dangerous activities such as illegal drugs, risky behavior, or affairs just to feel alive again. In The Diamond Healing Method, you'll not only see the causes for your symptoms, you will also see the solutions. You'll find there are seven life strategies that are more important than what you eat for you to live vibrantly and abundantly. These solutions have brought about massive changes in the hundreds of clients I have worked with. Which factors affect your health most profoundly? Within the pages of this book, you'll find that there are seven major factors that affect your life, health, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. It isn't just your mind-set; it is also your environment and your interaction with it, whether it's other people, your surroundings or what you put in your body. It's also about how you treat yourself and what you tell yourself every day. When you look at it this way, it's really all about energy management, which is what this book describes. Small adjustments in your day, your interactions with your environment, others, or yourself can add up to big positive effects on your internal stress levels. Here, you'll discover small simple adjustment techniques that add up to major improvements in your life.

ISBN: 9780521654746
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Humans have treasured diamonds for their exquisite beauty and unrivaled hardness for thousands of years. Deep within the earth, diamonds grow. Diamonds the size of footballs, the size of watermelons - billions of tons of diamonds wait for eternity a hundred miles beyond our reach. Spanning centuries of ground-breaking science, bitter rivalry, outright fraud, and self-delusion, The Diamond Makers is a compelling narrative centered around the brilliant, often eccentric, and controversial pioneers of high pressure research. This vivid blend of dramatic personal stories and extraordinary scientific advances - and devastating failures - brings alive the quest to create diamond. Scientists have harnessed crushing pressures and scorching temperatures to transform almost any carbon-rich material, from road tar to peanut butter, into the most prized of gems. The book reveals the human dimensions of research - the competition, bravery, jealousy, teamwork, and greed that ultimately led to today's billion-dollar diamond synthesis industry.

Flight of the Diamond Smugglers: A Tale of Pigeons, Obsession, and Greed Along Coastal South Africa
Author: Matthew Gavin Frank
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631496034
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
“Unforgettable. . . . An outstanding adventure in its lyrical, utterly compelling, and heartbreaking investigations of the world of diamond smuggling.” —Aimee Nezhukumatathil For nearly eighty years, a huge portion of coastal South Africa was closed off to the public. With many of its pits now deemed “overmined” and abandoned, American journalist Matthew Gavin Frank sets out across the infamous Diamond Coast to investigate an illicit trade that supplies a global market. Immediately, he became intrigued by the ingenious methods used in facilitating smuggling particularly, the illegal act of sneaking carrier pigeons onto mine property, affixing diamonds to their feet, and sending them into the air. Entering Die Sperrgebiet (“The Forbidden Zone”) is like entering an eerie ghost town, but Frank is surprised by the number of people willing—even eager—to talk with him. Soon he meets Msizi, a young diamond digger, and his pigeon, Bartholomew, who helps him steal diamonds. It’s a deadly game: pigeons are shot on sight by mine security, and Msizi knows of smugglers who have disappeared because of their crimes. For this, Msizi blames “Mr. Lester,” an evil tall-tale figure of mythic proportions. From the mining towns of Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth, through the “halfway” desert, to Kleinzee’s shores littered with shipwrecks, Frank investigates a long overlooked story. Weaving interviews with local diamond miners who raise pigeons in secret with harrowing anecdotes from former heads of security, environmental managers, and vigilante pigeon hunters, Frank reveals how these feathered bandits became outlaws in every mining town. Interwoven throughout this obsessive quest are epic legends in which pigeons and diamonds intersect, such as that of Krishna’s famed diamond Koh-i-Noor, the Mountain of Light, and that of the Cherokee serpent Uktena. In these strange connections, where truth forever tangles with the lore of centuries past, Frank is able to contextualize the personal grief that sent him, with his wife Louisa in the passenger seat, on this enlightening journey across parched lands. Blending elements of reportage, memoir, and incantation, Flight of the Diamond Smugglers is a rare and remarkable portrait of exploitation and greed in one of the most dangerous areas of coastal South Africa. With his sovereign prose and insatiable curiosity, Matthew Gavin Frank “reminds us that the world is a place of wonder if only we look” (Toby Muse).
