3. Bacci, Ingrid (2005). Effortless Pain Relief. London: Bantam Books. 222 pp. Paperback, very good plus condition.

Thus, if you suffer from chronic pain, or treat people suffering from chronic pain, you can perhaps replace the expensive pain treatment with self-help methods for reversing the way physical, mental, and emotional stresses affect your muscles, joints, and bones. She presents a unique mind-body program - the guiding principle being to develop greater awareness of your body and sensitivity to it. Adopt body awareness techniques that eliminate tension.

New York: Parapsychology Foundation. 91 pp. Paperback small octavo, good only condition, edges & covers lightly foxed, edgewear, spine label, sticker, owner's rubber stamp. Two prominent parapsychologists report that the distribution of voluntary psi (psychic) abilities within the general population is far from the bell-shaped or 'normal' curve, and that many of the field's strongest experimental outcomes have been obtained in a repeatable fashion because high between-subject variation occurs regarding psi capacity (and whatever properties of physiological organisation and function underlie it). The central strategy advocated is to approach psi indirectly, through intensive study of various altered states of consciousness (ASCs) - strongly associated with psi, both historically and crossculturally. These unusual states of consciousness seem more accessible than psi itself to psychophysiological analysis with a possibility of a solution to the replicability problem. ISBN: 0912328347.
