The Mind And Body Shop

It is said that beauty is not only skin-deep, and that to feel really good one needs to nurture mind and soul, as well as body. Divided into three main sections, this book offers information and exercises, which combine to provide a practical guide to achieving well-being.

A popular skin and hair care store offers guidance on enjoying physical and mental well-being through a wide range of health and beauty therapies, including healing foods, natural medicines, t'ai chi, aromatherapy, and meditation. 25,000 first printing.

Tracing the shift from liberal to neoliberal education from the nineteenth century to the present day, this open access book provides a rich and previously underdeveloped narrative of value in higher education in England. Value and the Humanities draws upon historical, financial, and critical debates concerning educational and cultural policy. Rather than writing a singular defence of the humanities against economic rationalism, Zoe Hope Bulaitis constructs a nuanced map of the intersections of value in the humanities, encompassing an exploration of policy engagement, scientific discourses, fictional representation, and the humanities in public life. The book articulates a kaleidoscopic range of humanities practices which demonstrate that although recent policy encourages higher education to be entirely motivated by outcomes, fiscal targets, and the acquisition of employability skills, the humanities continue to inspire and aspire beyond these limits. This book is a historically-grounded and theoretically-informed analysis of the value of the humanities within the context of the market.

Offers a complete, practical guide to achieving the harmony we crave, from the immediate physical needs of skin and hair to the yearnings of the soul. The "Mind" section examines stress, and considers the results you can expect from the various therapies -- from hypnotherapy to mediation -- that assert the power of the mind over the body. "Body" looks at physical fitness, covering everything from diet and fitness to simple, innovative solutions to skin care problems. Includes practical information on a range of therapies -- from aromatherapy to t'ai chi and yoga. "Soul" analyzes the distinct cycles of spiritual evolution, and details ways to enrich your own spiritual life through personal rituals. Illustrated.
