Sterling. New in New dust jacket. 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. 1402742606 . New book in dustjacket, tiny remainder mark (a dot) on bottom edge of pages. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 128 pages; Many people think that the old alchemists were trying to turn lead into gold. But in actuality, as Sandra Ingerman - a practicing shaman and psychologist - reveals, they were metaphorically working on transforming heavy leaded consciousness into gold light consciousness. Using their theories, Ingerman offers strategies for processing the harmful thoughts and emotions that hit us throughout our day. Instead of sending and receiving lethal energy, you will learn, through meditations, visualizations, and other exercises, how to radiate positive thoughts and shield yourself from those that are destructive.

U.K.: Pan Books. Good. 1965. First Edition. Softcover. Light wear to covers, light soiling (moreso to rear cover) , small tears to spine bottom have been neatly taped. Light stain on outer edge of pages affects edges of pages and edge of back cover. This has left light wrinkling to bottom corner of pages but all pages turn freely. A small piece has been cut from corner of first endpage, I assume to remove personal information. A novel of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, which rocked the throne of England but achieved nothing but terrible bloodshed. 14th century England - its poverty and injustice contrasting savagely with the luxury and indifference of the court of the boy-king Richard II - is the setting of Charles Israel's powerful novel of the Peasants' Revolt.
