"Taoist Secrets of Love" by Mantak Chia ... There are two volumes, one"male" and one "female", both are excellent and cover much ground.

"Cultivating Female Sexual Energy" click here to order

"The sexual guidance and exercises presented in this book are being introduced plainly to the Western public for the first time. For thousands of years Taoist masters taught these secrets only to very small numbers of people in the royal courts and in esoteric circles, who were sworn to silence. Now, a young Taoist Master and his wife, themselves practitioners of this ancient sexology feel the need to share this knowledge with the world. There are two main practices that the authors teach women to cultivate and enhance their sexual energy. One is Ovarian Breathing which can shorten menstruation, reduce cramps and compress more life force energy (CHI) into the ovaries for more sexual power. Another, the Orgasmic Upward Draw can be done solo or with one’s sexual partner. When this practice is mastered one can experience a total body orgasm that is beyond ordinary vaginal orgasm without loosing life-force energy. There are two other preparatory exercises taught by the Chias. They are a series of exercises with an egg of wood or stone, which is used to strengthen the urogenital and pelvic diaphragm, the glands, tendons and nervous systems. These exercises lend themselves to titters by the uninformed but in fact have been successfully practiced for thousands of years to enhance the potency and pleasure of the woman fortunate enough to know about them."

‘Nother old favorite: "Sanity, Insanity and Common Sense" click here to order

This book is written by and from the viewpoint of a mental health counselor, but I found it to be a very powerful and life-changing book when I read it around ten years ago.

"Conflict in relationships occur when people attempt to impose their personal thought system, their personal reality, on others, without an understanding that other people have separate frames of reference."

and, of course: "Emotional Healing with Homoeopathy" click here to order

This book set my feet on the path to understanding the full power of Homeopathy to reach into the various subtle bodies in order to effect healing of states of dis-ease based in emotional and psychic trauma as well as it’s awesome ability (far beyond western medicine except in some "heroic" medical situations) to bring health to the material body.

"Peter Chappell has written this book, ostensibly for the lay reader, but as a practicing homeopath I found it thoroughly stimulating and illuminating. I believe it will be very helpful in opening doors to territory that even experienced homeopathic practitioners may not be aware of or are afraid to approach. Most cases require a certain amount of psychological inquiry to gain more than superficial insight into the patient’s underlying condition, and Peter Chappell’s clearly written practical guide is an excellent aid."
