Love, Peace, and Soul tells the story of the television phenomenon known as Soul Train, a show created in the land of bell bottoms, afros, and soul power; a show that became the touchstone of the Baby Boomer generation. Don Cornelius, host and owner of the show, was one of the coolest cats on television. With his platform shoes, wide neckties, and mellifluous voice, he showed the world just how corny American Bandstand was in comparison. In 2012, fans were shocked to hear one of the most powerful men in the music and television business took his own life. Love, Peace, and Soul is a celebratory, behind-the-scenes collection of anecdotes, stories, and reflections, from the people who were there, about the host, the show, and the power of black music and dance on television. Music and television connoisseurs will enjoy the history of not just Soul Train, but of other shows, including Shindig!, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Hullabaloo, American Bandstand, and Graffiti Rock. Entrepreneurs will be interested in Cornelius' humble beginnings with the local version of the show in Chicago, created with his own money. Fans will delight in the lively images and the quirky details. The first mass market book on Soul Train since Cornelius's passing, this volume has something for everyone. Includes afterword by Gary Harris.
"At the height of my career, " writes Bradford Keeney, "I paradoxically began realizing that psychology could not offer the help people needed in their deepest moments of suffering. Its strategies for cure, though intelligent, were not rooted in what spiritual traditions have always known as the great healers: love and compassion." Seeking to offer a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us. Dr. Keeney has spent years experiencing spiritual teachings around the world, from the indigenous peoples of North and South America to the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He is one of a handful of people who have been taught the Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Drawing on this experience, he incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life--from sleep to relationships to your work--toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light.
Using a contemporary synthesis of Jungian and Post-Jungian imaginal perspectives, animate ecological phenomenology, somatics and recent scholarship in dance movement and progressive spiritualities, this unique book discusses how the promotion of a fluid relationship between imagination and movement can bring the mover back into relationship with soul and spirit. This connection with soul and spirit is considered as an essential and powerful resource in mental health. The book provides a rich digest of theory and produces a clear framework for the application of transpersonal theories to Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) practice, writing and research, illustrating the use and value of transpersonal perspectives through detailed case studies. Providing spiritual, soulful and mythological perspectives on DMP rooted in theory and practice, this book will be essential reading for dance movement psychotherapists, drama psychotherapists, expressive arts therapists, and dance movement psychotherapy students, drama psychotherapy students and arts therapy students.
This is a collection of spiritually uplifting and sometimes life-wrenching realities within romantic poems, sermons, prayers, prose, and essays that are all crafted and carefully designed to uplift your soul.
"Daniel Chapelle concludes that psychology can only satisfy the deepest human needs when it can offer a sense of soul in everyday life. He explores ways of restoring this sense of soul to everyday life by examining how talk about something as elusive as the soul is possible and by reanimating a sense for what the notion of soul can mean. Working in the tradition of Nietzsche, Freud, Jung, and Jung's student James Hillman, Chapelle reaches back into millennia of Western thought to reanimate the dying sense of soul in everyday life and put the "psyche back in "psychology.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Mr. William Pratt was born on June 17, 1954, and his journey through life was bittersweet. He feels like these songs and poems are and will stand up to the test of times. Some will make you happy, and some will make you cry, but most you with truth, love, and harmony. Even though he's a man, when he wrote these songs and poems, he felt like a giant, and all his songs and poems are as vast as the universe, and he hopes these songs make the weak and unhappy souls strong. He tossed in some fantasies, which we all need to escape from reality sometimes and the reader's natural high. So enjoy his songs and poems; they're like his mother's jambalaya--a little bit of everything in a bowl and spicy to complete.
