Shaman Shaman "Soaring Hawk" Ted Presents: A Hawks View | His Words & Photos by Ted Mattingly May 02, 2012 $4.99 4358 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I was born in Ancon, Panama Republic on December 14, 1962. Throughout my life I have always had an interest in Metaphysics, the natural and physical sciences, philosophy and psychology. I started my path to health and well being at Wayne High School as a student athletic trainer. When I finished high school, I was hired as the Assistant Head Athletic Trainer. I went on to Ohio State University and was hired as a student athletic trainer. In 1985, I joined the United States Air Force as a Medical Service Specialist. During my stay in the Air Force, I was trained and worked in the OB/GYN ward; Gastro Enterology Clinic and the Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Units. I was specially trained as a Cardiac Technician. Cardiac Technicians were trained to specialize in the receiving of Cardiac or Pulmonary patients. I was promoted to Educational Coordinator for the technicians and developed the first ever Basic Critical Care Course for technicians. I was also trained in the Air Force as an Aerospace Physiology Technician. During this period in the Air Force, I worked in High Altitude Research, Centrifuge Operations and I was exposed to hyperbaric medicine and chamber operations. Throughout my stay in the Air Force, I was trained as a field medical technician. It was my war time job to decontaminate any injured soldiers from exposure to biological, chemical or nuclear contamination prior to them being treated by a technician. In June of 1991, I was honorably discharged from the military. I started college again in January of 1992 at Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, Texas. I put myself through college working as a polysomnagraphic technician (sleep disorder technician.) It was my responsibility to prepare the patients for the monitoring of brain wave activity, respiration, blood oxygen saturation, rapid eye movement and heart rate. The purpose was to determine sleep apnea, a condition where people stop breathing in their sleep for small periods of time. I would then monitor them throughout the night, making notations for Dr. Sabri Derman. If indicated, I would on the second night, by orders from Dr. Derman, monitor the patient with the application of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine. In May of 1994, I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Science with a heavy emphasis on chemistry and biology. I continued to work as a sleep study technician until September of 1994. I moved to Columbus, Ohio where I worked as a fitness instructor. While in Columbus, I studied Bondo (Burmese style kickbocking) under the instruction of Dr. Tim Flemings. I moved to Miami in August of 1996 and soon started my training of Yang style Taiji Quan under the direction of Lewis Paleias. Lewis Paleias is a coach instructor under Dr. Yang Jwing Ming. His instruction has involved the Long Form (108 movements), weapons training, martial applications, Qi-gong and Chin-na (Joint locking). In November of 1998, I went on to receive my Personal Training Certification from A.C.E. (American Council on Exercise). Since then I have received my Certification on Mat Pilates. In October of 2005, I decided to leave all of my materials behind and travel to Japan and then China. I stayed in Japan for 6 weeks and learned about the culture and met with some of the leading Energy workers. I worked Energy healings on several people before leaving to China on the first week of December. I landed in Shanghai and traveled south and then west through the country. While traveling, I visited several schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine and performed healings on different individuals. I was also able to discuss and practice Taiji concepts with many teachers and students alike. In the city of Shen Zhen, I was able to learn part of a new style of Taiji under the teachings of Mr. Song, a six generation Taiji Master. His style of Taiji is called Shen Xing Taiji (Spirit Body Taiji). The greatest teachings were of the spirit of all the people who worked so hard and had so little, and yet were content. Through visions and messages, Spirit gave me the name of Soaring Hawk, and the title of a Shaman. As my healing abilities keep increasing, I wish to teach and help others to heal and find happiness. It is my desire to assist people to find a balance between, Spiritual awareness, Mental Tranquility and Physical health. Your environment can show the imbalances in side yourself, allowing you to make changes. These are the ways of the Shaman. It is my purpose to continue to grow in knowledge and skill, and assist all of those who desire a happier and healthier lifestyle. P.E.A.C.E.

Musings of a Modern Augustine by August Stine Musings of a Modern Augustine by August Stine April 26, 2012 $5.99 53886 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
This Confessions book is rated: PG! Oh Gee! & My Goodness! Some occasionally humor helps offset the serious tone and makes this writing unique. August Stine is a pen name. I prefer to remain anonymous as much as possible because my immediate family are strong fundamentalist Christians. We have a good loving family unity in spite of this. My book is controversial in that it addresses deficiencies character most people have but will not admit. This is similar to a man who forgets to zip up his pants and goes out in public--an embarrassment but not a fatal flaw. I was a fundamentalist Christian for almost 20 years. I was faithful, loyal, honest, a hard worker and an all-around-wonderful-Tebow-type-Christian. Determined to serve God with all of my heart, I attended a radical Christian University, joined the Air Force, got married, had kids bought a house. I was a professor at a Christian College for seven years until I had a mid life crisis . . . actually it was more a no-life crisis. This writing is my story of trying to “Get a Life” after leaving the ministry. I got very angry with God. I had never been angry with Him before, but the struggles for survival finally boiled over. I found God paid poor wages and wanted 10% of that. I had no life. So I quit church and religion and launched out into the real world to find out who the hell I really was.

Author bio:
ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Sue and I have struggled with what to write about “us.” Like many of you, we wife, mom, friend and grandma to the best of our ability, sometimes getting it right, many times not. Sue faced the staggering task of raising two boys alone while continuing to teach in the Cleveland Public School System, after almost simultaneously finishing her doctorate in education and her husband just not coming home one day. Sue is retired now; she is an avid reader, loves nature and enjoys traveling. Sue continues to have a heart for the financially disadvantaged and she spends some time every year in East Africa visiting her older son and his family who live there. At home, she sells the items she’s brought across the ocean to undergird various ministries that support Ethiopia’s people. I was raised in a fairly rural setting, here in Northeast Ohio. I worked in a factory right out of high school, finishing my “career” as company librarian and training assistant eighteen years later when I had my third child, since three means that they outnumber and out-think you. I married my husband in 1986 and I still consider him my boyfriend. He travels the world keeping kith and kin together for us while I keep the home fires burning …. seems to work for us. I enjoy my friends; I too, am an huge fan of the great outdoors, and I spend time at our church helping with a women’s bible study and various other tasks. Like every one of His children, we are ordinary and unique and we lead ordinary, extraordinary lives. Like yours, our respective stories hold many occasions where the bottom could have, even should have, dropped out were it not for two words: “… but God …” “About the authors” is such an interesting little phrase because it’s really asking that in a few short paragraphs one sums up his or her life and hands it to the world so they can say … “Oh, I ‘see’ you!” Having given you the facts regarding “about the authors” in our first devotional, God Whispers, I decided to tell you what I’d like to know about the authors if I were you. Sue and I are best friends, meeting four years ago at the women’s bible study at Faith Fellowship Church here in Macedonia, Ohio. Sue is a retired teacher from the Cleveland school system with two married sons, and I am a long-time homemaker with three engaging young women I call my daughters and a husband who through necessity is simply steeped in grace. As “besties,” Sue and I have spent a lot of time together in these few years, sharing life, sharpening one another, laughing, and crying with one another. We have a like-mindedness that is really fun at times - regarding the outdoors (we love it), food (we eat too much), clothes shopping (thrift stores). However, we can also be quite different. Sue’s an avid reader; the girl reads more than anyone I’ve ever met, while I am a lover of information and love watching TV documentaries on everything from accordions to zephyrs. We hardly ever discuss politics (nuff said) … and our working styles are completely different. Through it all, we’ve learned to appreciate our uniqueness as well as our similarities. We believe God creates many friendships that He wishes to use as tools to shelter and enrich others. Sue and I have been so blessed, first by our covenant friendship, but also because He’s used that friendship to be a blessing of His making for others.
