    Nutrition for Massage Therapists
 

This book is the first of its kind: a nutrition book specifically designed for the massage therapist. It focuses on three main areas:

  • Self-care for the therapist. The most successful massage therapists tend to be physically fit and well-nourished.
  • Clinical application. This is about using your knowledge of nutrition to optimize the results you get with your clients.
  • Review of anatomy and physiology. Specifically, this book offers a review of those areas of human anatomy and physiology that are most relevant to nutrition and massage therapy.

The Dance of Opposites

This remarkable book starts with a simple premise: the life within us and around us is a dance of opposites. And then, Dr Scarfalloto shows how such understanding can give new, and sometimes astounding, insights into various personal and social issues, such as forgiveness, sexuality, creativity, self-worth, addiction, depression, fear, religion, money and war.

This book uses some ancient and mystical concepts, but does so in ways that are practical and meaningful, using only everyday examples that are easy to comprehend.

“Very, very rarely do I receive (a book) that arouses my enthusiasm as much as the present work, which manages to bring some of the most advanced concepts of Oriental and Occidental mysticism into a framework so down-to-earth that even the allegedly esoteric “unity underlying all opposites” seems so obvious that you wonder how anyone could ever have overlooked it.”
-Robert Anton Wilson
Author of The Illuminati Trilogy and other works

“An excellent book--practical with great insights! Dr. Scarfalloto's book is packed with insights and wisdom. You can use it to immediately improve your life--whether you are hurting or happy!! I highly recommend this book. It is thought provoking, yet so easy and enjoyable to read.
-Doris Helge Ph D.
Author of Joy On The Job and Transforming Pain into Power.

    Cultivating Inner Harmony
 

This book is essentially a home study version of The Dance of Opposites. The two books do complement each other, however, it is not necessary to read the parent book to understand and apply the information in Cultivating Inner Harmony (A 90-Day Program). 

This book has remarkably broad application – emotional healing, addictions, rejuvenation, enhancing creativity, and conflict resolution on the interpersonal and larger social levels. 

Here are some of the principles addressed in the book:

  • When opposites are balanced and integrated, life renews itself.
  • With any pair of opposites, each side bears the seed of the other.
  • To master anything, we must have an understanding of its opposite.
  • With any pair of opposites, the side that is rejected or denied secretly rules.
  • When two parties are in conflict, each side expresses a truth that the other represses.
  • The desire to compete stems from the deeper desire to know oneself.
  • Unity is experienced in everyday life as an appreciation of diversity.
  • It is impossible to harm anyone while looking deeply into oneself.

Reader’s comments:
“Dr. Scarfalloto’s insights clearly describe what I have experienced after years of working with Taoist techniques for strengthening the mind and body.”
– M. Emkin, herbal medicine maker

“Regarding this book, the three words that come to mind are simple, compelling and startling. I would read a passage and think, ‘This is so simple! Why didn’t I think of this?’ This book is compelling in that it compels me to see both sides of any issue. I also found this book startling on occasion. I felt like I had been in a dimly lit room and suddenly someone switched all the lights on.” – T. Dido, massage therapist

    The Edge of Time
 


The Edge of Time is a novel that uses multidimensional reality and non-ordinary states of consciousness as a backdrop for the exploration of some down-to-earth issues, such as addiction, the healing of emotional wounds and social justice. It offers an intriguing perspective on history and explores the deeper connections between the major religions. 

The novel consists of three interwoven stories. The main character of the first story is a young man, named Jason, who suddenly starts to “awaken” to who he is beyond his physical form. In his struggle to fully remember, he receives assistance form the main characters of the other two stories. The second story is about a young woman, named Sarah, a high school teacher and recovering alcoholic. The third story is about Preacher Roy, a self-righteous but basically goodhearted minister from rural Kentucky.

The overall tone of the novel is upbeat and humorous, with a generous helping of lively dialogue. It does get serious, but without being morbid or preachy. The humor ranges from little chuckles to big belly laughs.
