FOOD/DRINK

DREAM FOODS expanded distribution for their Organic Italian Volcano Tangerine Juice and Orange Juice. The highly aromatic juices are produced in Sicily, where the fruits are grown along the slopes of the Mount Etna volcano and harvested. The tangerines used are known for their strong flavor. The orange juice is made from three unique varieties of blood oranges. The fruits are squeezed immediately after harvest, which contributes to the freshly squeezed taste. The juice can also be used in salad dressings, sauces, desserts and blended drinks.
Our tester liked the refreshing and uplifting taste.

The Spiritual Dimension Of Therapeutic Touch
by Dora Kunz with Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N.
Therapeutic Touch is a powerful tool for rebalancing the body’s energy through touch, visualization, and spiritual acceptance of life’s inevitable cycles. The book examines the dynamic interrelationship between healer and patient and the vital role of expanded levels of consciousness as they relate to the healing process. During the years of shared research and healing practice, the authors found illness to be rooted in specific energy imbalances. They developed a transpersonal energetic approach to healing using centering and self-awareness practices. They share these practices to promote physical healing as well as mental and spiritual peace.
Dora Kunz is former president of the Theosophical Society of America and author of other books on natural health. Dolores Krieger is a professor emerita of nursing science at New York University and author of other best-selling natural health books.
