Coming Soon – We are pleased to announce Katharina Notarianni’s new book, ‘Once Upon A New Moon’, is available on Amazon.com in eBook format, and in paperback from CreateSpace.com.
‘Once Upon A New Moon’ by Katharina Notarianni features poems that were written during a time when the author was seeking to better understand life, the universe and who she is. These poems are the outcome of a New Moon shamanic creative group where each session began with a shamanic journey and the writing emerged out of the experience.
During her shamanic training, Katharina was also inspired to express herself creatively by crafting various “medicine” items. This book features full color images of some of her shamanic creative works to illustrate more of what’s possible with the shamanic creative process.
Even now, after many years, she is amazed at how the shamanic creative process, which involves establishing a connection with spirit and reflecting on who she is, who she has been, and who she is becoming, opened the doors of perception bringing about a deeper understanding of her Self and thereby enriched her life with greater love of self, others and all that is.
It is her hope that these poems will inspire you to begin your own creative journey of self awareness and creative expression.
Coming Soon! Healing Time Books is pleased to announce a collection of poetry by E. Reenah McGill will soon be available in paperback and eBook formats:Poetry MS by Dr. E. Reenah McGill
‘Poetry MS’ by Dr. E. Reenah McGill is a collection of poems in two volumes which include pieces of poetry written over a span of more than forty years. They represent and reflect many changes in her life situations, thoughts and desires.
This endearing tale transcends cultural boundaries and carries us all to a timeless place in our hearts. ‘Love and Light ~ A Creation Myth’ (also known as ‘Amor y Luz ~ Un Mito de la Creación’) expresses core values of friendship, courage, compassion, respect, and responsibility. The spirited watercolor paintings connect us to an ageless exploration of the moments of creation.First, from a tiny flicker of light, comes Sun. Then, from love, comes World. They dance and play throughout the day, without a care, joyful of their very existence. Time is suspended, until nightfall…when Sun must go away. Fearful, what will World do in the darkness? Together, a solution is found. A new meaning of life discovered. Will World be triumphant?As World and Sun continue to ensure our survival through their love and light, are we doing enough today to sustain our very existence? In light of all the alarming climate changes now taking place, will we be triumphant? Let ‘Love and Light ~ A Creation Myth’ quicken your heart into an act of love for our planet. Originally handwritten in Spanish, the translation has been included in ‘Love and Light ~ A Creation Myth’, along with helpful hints of how to use it with children.

Poems That Almost Got Away by Richard C. Richards is a collection of poems written over fifty years of his life. He wrote them when something struck him, as he tried to bring some vague experience into focus. He wanted to record what was going on in his life. In some, he just wanted to get an experience down on paper. Richard explains “Many of the poems deal with death. That is a respectable topic for a philosopher, a poet or anyone else who wants to understand this crazy disease called life, and not simply to get through it with as little thought as possible. Death is a concern, but not a preoccupation. I meet death occasionally for lunch, but we only talk about trivial things. We’re not really good friends, but we tolerate each other.”
Richards’ poems let you see the world from the poet’s perspective to some extent. Can poetry do anything other than this? If it can, he says he does not know what that “anything other” is. Sometimes he jokes. Sometimes you cannot tell whether he is joking or not. Neither can he…sometimes. Welcome!

In Healing with Color – Experience the Essence of Twenty-One Taras, channeled by Tara Channel Katharina Notarianni, Tara brings you a collection of meditative journeys that focus on healing with color. Initially it is recommended to treat this as a 21-day process, whereby you experience one specific color each day following the guidance that is given. After the process has been completed, you can return to a specific color as you are called to do so depending on what you are experiencing in your life, letting the key words and affirmations guide you when you wish to focus upon a particular energy, a particular resonance, for the purpose of activating something specific within yourself. The intention is to have access to the full spectrum of color, to be balanced, to be healed completely so, on all levels of your being, so you can experience more and more of who you truly are.

Tara in its 21 diverse expressions of color and light can help you, guide you, heal you when you open up and receive the words and more than that, the energy that flows through those words.

Inspired by her life experiences and travels, Marilyn Marlow’s art has vitality and a quiet magic. Appropriately named “Serenity of Koutoulofari” this peaceful image, when viewed as a canvas print on a wall, has an uncanny ability to change as the lighting in the room changes.

About Marilyn’s creative process:
“The one creative thread that has maintained an uninterrupted continuity in my life is photography. It has always been my palette ever since I received my first Brownie camera at age six. Photography is a lifeline to all I am, how I witness and capture visions of the world. Long ago I realized that I could instantly record what I was seeing so fleetingly and rejoice in its relative permanence, to relive over and over at will. It’s magical expressions are the essence of what I wish to share with the world. It’s a way to share how I comprehend the world, to elicit emotions that welled up inside while capturing the beauty to behold. Many people have told me over the years, “You have a good eye.” I take that to mean that I see in ways in which they don’t. It’s another gift which I’ve been bestowed in this life, it’s always been with me. A companion amongst the crowds, my camera is my witness, it supports, embraces my spirit through its lens.” –Marilyn Marlow, Artist
Photographer and artist Marilyn Marlow recently launched her website (www.marilynmarlowartist.com) to make available her photos and paintings for purchase.
Artist Statement:
“I strive to endow my paintings with visual existence, vibrancy, and life. I want my subjects- whether people, places, or leaves- to speak loudly with voices that are clear and free. I do not want to copy nature but recreate it! If my paintings move people with passion, happiness, even melancholy or sadness, I am on the right path.” Monika Ruiz
Born in Colombia, Monika Ruiz began her art education at the age of fourteen. Her foundational studies focused on traditional art history, particularly figure drawing and still life. Her paintings recall the bright colors and evocative brush strokes of Fauvist and Post-Impressionist paintings, as well as the expansive and dreamlike quality of early Surrealist paintings.
In “Yin Yang,” two figures curl around the perimeter of camellia flower, becoming its outermost petals in a spiraling embrace.

“Holding the Sun” forgoes the figure and disrupts conventional horizons with rainbow-colored leaves crowding the foreground.
Holding The Sun by Monika Ruiz
Whether explicitly narrative or abstract, Ruiz’s paintings evoke a sense of time’s passing and its affect on the natural world.
Past, Present, Future triptych by Monika Ruiz
Visit her online Art Gallery to see her works, purchase a reproduction, a painting or commission a Pet Portrait or a painting based in an experience that you have had, your family or something that you love. Storytelling makes up a big part in her art. She has created series and individual paintings based on stories of her friends and her own Fairy Tales like about a boy, Jay, and his dog, Boo, who travel the universe searching for wisdom and a companion for Boo.

Now available from Amazon’s CreateSpace, A Philosopher Looks at The Sense of Humor by Richard C. Richards will simultaneously delight you and get you thinking about humor in a new way.
Richard C. Richards, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, taught various philosophy courses at California State Polytechnic University,Pomona, for nearly forty odd years. Actually only half those years were odd. The other half were even. It is odd that even the even years were a bit odd. And the odd years were surprisingly even, though there were odd moments.
He taught courses in Philosophy of the Arts, Ancient Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Logic and Semantics, Ethics, Business and Professional Ethics, Philosophy of Love and Sex, Aristotle, Existentialism, and The Philosophy of Humor. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of California Santa Barbara, and his graduate degrees at UCLA, where he specialized in medieval philosophy, especially the philosophies of William Ockham and John of Mirecourt.
He and his wife of thirty years, Marlene, are enjoying retirement with travel, operas, and concerts. He also hybridizes irises and has won national awards with his introductions of irises into the national iris trade.
Also, read Dr. Camille Atkinson’s book review in Metapsychology:
“Not only is Richards’s book delightful, inspiring and intellectually stimulating, it’s fun to read. Besides providing further food for thought, Richards gives a concise and cogent definition of “the sense of humor,” describing how it’s related to happiness but is distinct from comedy, laughter and aesthetic pleasure in general. He also includes a few jokes and witticisms of his own. This book is not just for philosophers, but for anyone with a sense of humor who can’t imagine life without the unique kind of pleasure it affords.” (read more)
