The Meeting Point
Margaret is an experienced speaker who gives talks by arrangement. She has spoken at The Theosophical Society Journey to Self is a record of one woman's spiritual journey through elation and despair. It is a journey of spiritual transformation, a path that is as real today as it was in the days of the great mystics and saints..... This book addresses the spiritual energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine; it discusses it's purpose, and explores how to ensure that it rises naturally and safely, so that it rests in the heart, and opens it instead of remaining in the brain. ... It's 1998, on a meditation retreat in Devon called 'Awakening the Heart'. Margaret is meditating when suddenly she feels a current of energy that seems to rise up deep from within the spine. It rises to the head and then falls. As a Buddhist for many years Margaret knows that there is nothing to be afraid of in the inner world. She connects fully with what is happening. The experience ends when she releases her feet from her meditation stool and surrenders to what she has called 'THE LIGHT'. Journey to Self was a Book of the Month for Watkins, the world renown complementary bookshop in Central London. Watkins has a flourishing international mail order catalogue. "Over the last twenty years or so there has been a veritable explosion of books of books purporting to validate this or that spiritual awakening. At best most of this literature witnesses merely to the spiritual rootlessness endemic to our time; at worst it witnesses merely to the ego inflation of the author. Like much else that is written today, Margaret Dempsey's book is eclectic. What makes it different is the author's honesty and humility. Without any reliable teacher to guide her Margaret demonstrates an extraordinary knack for distinguishing teachings which challenge the ego from those which merely sooth it. This is a warts and all account of a woman's spiritual awakening, beginning with her earliest years, and charting a long and difficult search. No easy answers here - rather a challenge to the reader to address his or her own experience with the same radical honesty and commitment. Warmly recommended!" "In this book Margaret Dempsey shares a frank and often brutally honest account of her own spiritual journey along with some essays she wrote about insights she gained along the way. In the first part we follow her from her choice at 11 years old to go to a catholic boarding school to her first introduction to Buddhism, a trip to India; her first mild Kundalini experience which was followed by a much stronger and persistent experience during a meditation retreat; a second trip to India and finally to her training as a Kundalini yoga student and instructor based in Brighton. In the second part Margaret shares what she feels are the most important things she has learned on her journey. Margaret Dempsey talks a lot about her challenges, doubts and confusion along the way, and stresses that you don't have to be special to follow a path to Enlightenment. There is always some value in reading about other peoples' journeys, and a book like this will often answer questions you didn't know you had, or strengthen opinions that have already been formed. For me this book did both." With help from the High Commission for India in London.

Sir Issac Newton, and later Einstein said he could only have made his breakthroughs because he "stood on the shoulders of giants". Not everyone has a huge intellect, but many who are passionate about their chosen subject know volumes about it, and, with a wider audience, this could fascinate others as well! At Ki Publishing we believe that well thought through, and painstakingly researched knowledge must not only be preserved for posterity, but be available to others at a reasonable cost - even when it is not immediately commercially viable!

Raw food restaurants have become very popular with health conscious individuals in recent years. Foods are cooked at a temperature that keeps the enzymes in vegetables alive. This allows the vegetables to retain the highest amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals possible. Raw food restaurants have become lucrative business investments with the increase of raw food dieters. Small business loans offer the opportunity to start a green lifestyle business that can be environmentally and financially rewarding
