The Body of Light: History & Practical techniques for Awakening Your Subtle Body
John Mann and Lar Short (1990) 189pages

The title of this book, The Body of Light, refers to two stages in this process of internal evolution. The first applies to the subtle body, which is typically described in terms of the radiance of its colors. The second concerns the final stage of development, when the physical level is totally transfigured and only a rainbow body - a distinct but nonmaterial entity that is free of all physical limitations - remains. That is the eventual goal. But to get there, the subtle body must be activated; a process which is the theme of this book. All spiritual teachings have something to say about the nature of this process. this book was written to compare their viewpoints. Furthermore, specific practices from these varied teachings will be presented. They can then be tested by the reader who is interested in their relative effectiveness, and who wishes to take a further step in the cultivation of his or her own subtle body. - from the authors' Introduction (Charles E. Tuttle)



Chakras: Energy Centers of Transformation
Harish Johari (1987) 116pages

In the ancient science of tantra, the human body is viewed as the most perfect instrument for the expression of consciousness. This perfection is realized through the development of psychic centers, or chakras. Located within the cerebrospinal system, the chakras are the stage upon which the interaction between higher consciousness and desire is played out. Consequently, it is through understanding and utilizing the energies of the chakras that we ultimately reach an enlightened state of being. Harish Johari, Indian scholar and practitioner of tantra, introduces the classical principles of the chakras as well as their practical application for today. he unfolds the mysteries of these subtle centers of transformation with techniques of visualization that are essential to tantric practice and realization. Johari's beautiful, full-color illustrations provide images - at once traditional and visionary- of each chakra; meditation on these images vitalize the cerebrospinal centers and harmonizes the entire system both physically and psychically. Additional line drawings allow the aspirant to color in the images as an exercise in visualization and contemplation of the chakras. Sections on each chakra elaborate on correspondences with mantras, colors, astrological signs, and deities, as well as with particular personality types and behavioral characteristics.

The Occult and Curative Powers of Precious Stones
William T. Fernie (1907) 486 pages US$ 17.95 C$28.75

An old Rosicrucian word of wisdom begins with the profound statement; " I have laid the eternal Word of Creation into the stone." - In the utmost depths of physical existence the silent stone guards and protects the Word of Creation, hence in the manifold literatures of the world the precious and semi-precious stones are represented as centers of well-nigh miraculous influence upon Nature, including human life. A wealth of learned tomes dating from medieval times exists in which the properties and influence of semi-precious and precious stones upon humanity are presented with extraordinary insight and detail. This book, originally published in 1907 in England under the title: Precious Stones: For Curative Wear; and other Remedial Uses; Likewise The Nobler Metals, is the crowning literary expression of active medical practice. - from the Editorial Preface by Paul M. Allen (Steinerbooks, 1992)



Subtle Body: Essence and Shadow
David V. Tansley (1977) 96pages US$15.95 C$20.95

Throughout time man has the belief that the physical form is a projected image and reflection of his subtle anatomy. The priests and teachers of past traditions and civilizations have taught that man in his totality is a key that will unlock the hidden mysteries of God and the universe. Knowledge of Self, revealed through the disciplines of prayer and meditation, brings with it the power to create, the power to direct and control the forces of nature, guiding them through the channels of the subtle bodies for purposes of self-realization, self-expression and healing. Thus man becomes a conscious co-creator of the universe, a server of the race and an expression of God incarnate. A title in the Art and Imagination series, with 122 illustrations, 15 in colour. (Thames & Hudson)



Subtle Energy
John Davidson (1987) 287pages US$16 C$32

Subtle energies are the higher levels of energy beginning just beyond our normal perceptive abilities. They are sometimes seen as a scintillating, sparkling, rainbow effect around objects, making them seem almost transparent and with their sub-atomic and more inward structure revealed to a heightened, perceptive gaze. Subtle energies are the blueprint of denser forms of matter and energy, the energy matrix out of which our perceivable universe is manifested. Indeed, some theories in modern physics are now able to provide a conceptual framework in which this manifestation from the subtle state can be both understood, and even engineered. Around and within living creatures, including man, subtle energies are seen as an aura, reflecting their health, personality and spirituality of the individual. Subtle Energy is about these energies and the role they play in the natural economy and in healing. The subtle effects of electromagnetic pollution are also discussed. (C.W.Daniel)
