Are You My Husband?

In 2019, Richard Adams’ wife developed a combination of Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia. For four years he has been her full-time carer. He believes he has retained his sanity by getting up early and writing for a couple of hours. It is a kind of therapy, before he goes into the bedroom and announce that he is thinking of getting breakfast. Dementia has robbed his wife the will and the ability to attend to the usual household chores. Sometimes she does not remember who he is.

He has slowly come to understand that no one case of dementia is alike, and that there is no one-size-fits-all way of dealing with it. This is his own personal – sometimes very personal – approach.

These thirty conversations and reflections record episodes in their relationship and how dementia has impacted upon their lives. He has treated them with honesty and sensitivity, but also with humour, not to make light of what is a difficult experience, but to encourage anyone who is in a similar situation to enjoy a moment of recognition, to smile, even to laugh, but above all to find encouragement, to keep going and be undefeated by the mysterious illness called dementia.

Manuals of Life

Our human body contains far more wonder than we realize. It is a sacred vessel, with our unique soul held safe within. Though Earth is our playground, the profound teachings of our physical and spiritual anatomy have been lost or forgotten over time. Even our soul’s mission – the course we set for ourselves in this lifetime – often lays obscured.

Where can we turn to reclaim this ancient knowledge? The answer lies in the wisdom of Ascended Master teacher Serapis Bey, relayed through channelled guidance interwoven with enlightening insights. Serapis introduces readers to their spirit, body, soul, latent spiritual powers, life-force energy, intelligent bodily organs - all keys to mastery which attract bounty, wisdom and positivity into our realm.

We each hold the power to open doorways to higher states of being. Serapis shows how to activate the invisible spiritual heart and I AM presence, the seat of the soul, allowing profound transformation to occur. Tapping into this abundant wisdom reveals the incredible gifts existing within our spiritual body, proving how we can powerfully shape our experience by consciously attracting and dispelling influences.

Serapis further unveils why speech holds such power, the esoteric significance of the heart, the spiritual essence animating our corporeal form, the Akashic records’ role, principles of magnetic attraction and synchronicity’s hidden hand.

Yes, it is through communing with our spiritual body that life’s true purpose unfolds, unveiling contentment and profound realization of our soul’s divine mission. An amazing journey awaits!

Elements of a Better Life

It’s undeniable – our world is transforming at breakneck speed, propelled by the digital revolution into uncharted territory. The relentless influx of stimuli and information we now face daily is unprecedented and overwhelming. But do we fully grasp the impacts?

Human brains evolved for a very different world, wired to prize stability and conserve resources. Yet today, we confront a constant assault of inputs and disruptions that our neurology struggles to process. People compulsively check devices everywhere – the gym, work, meals, bedtime – bombarding already taxed neuronal capacity with TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram and more.

“What I see in practice, as a brain specialist is fatigue, muscle pain sensations in neck-shoulders resulting in headache, memory and concentration weakness, fears, anxiousness and sadness, and the complete inability to relax. We are always switched ‘on’.”
- Erik Matser

But there is hope. Buried beneath the strain lies a simple truth – you don’t have to be perfect to have an amazing brain. The real superpower now is calmness and control over your personal pace. What others do pales next to what you choose for healthy function.

Seniors Seize the Day

This home-based exercise program is designed with seniors in mind, requiring only minimal, inexpensive equipment: no bulky machinery taking up space like a traditional gym. The easy routine is simple, safe and can be performed at your own pace daily, provided your doctor agrees it’s suitable.

The full workout takes about 60 minutes including rest periods, with 60 repetitions of each segment. Personally, I feel a sense of fulfilment and an endorphin rush when I finish.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues evolving with devastating health effects physically, mentally, and emotionally, I’ve felt in virtual solitary confinement as a widower since 2020. However, maintaining my daily exercise routine has been crucial for coping mentally and physically. I commend this program to other seniors as a valuable tool, especially amidst the ongoing pandemic, to take control of your health at home. The routine provides a constructive way to alleviate stress and frustration while keeping fit.

Come and catch your breath within these pages.

The Plight of Psychiatric Patients: A Biochemical Explanation

This book delves into the complex world of psychiatric illnesses that continue to evade full medical comprehension. Through poignant case histories, it puts a human face on mental afflictions that all too often defy satisfactory treatment. The author presents compelling narratives of patients wrestling with disorders ranging from depression to schizophrenia, capturing both the uniqueness of each individual’s experience as well as the common threads of chaos and suffering that bind them. Interwoven with these intimate portraits is an accessible examination of leading theories on the biochemical basis of mental illness.

Though significant knowledge gaps remain, the book brings to light important scientific insights into the genes, pathways, and neurotransmitters that may lie at the root of so much torment. Written with equal parts sensitivity, curiosity and rigor, this work illuminates the lingering mystery of the mind while paying tribute to those who struggle daily with its most devastating failures.
