Health and Healing

Recipient of a Nautilus Book Award

Global Unitive Healing introduces a practical healing methodology for lives and nations in an ailing world. This book masterfully awakens us to collective authenticity and a unifying language of the heart for a diverse and interdependent humanity. Step by step, Dr. Elena Mustakova weaves a path toward grasping an emergent interconnected, cooperative, prosocial world informed by the way of unity - a mid-19th century evolutionary leap of consciousness, which integrates Eastern and Western spiritual thought. Using her work with patients as examples, as well as weaving the writings and teachings of the Bahá’í Faith throughout, what emerges is a new framework for approaching healing on a personal and communal level.

Where the Light Comes in is a collection of inspiring quotes and meditations from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and others such as Maya Angelou, Hafez, Rumi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is designed to inspire healing of afflictions and diseases we experience personally, like illness and injury of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies, as well as those that plague our communities and society, like prejudice, racism, and social injustice. These are all wounded places that, it is said, are where the light comes in. May you find a bit of solace, healing, and spiritual nourishment within these pages.

What lies beyond Covid-19? How does it challenge humanity as a whole and ourselves as individuals to bring about change?

The global pandemic that changed the world in early 2020, and the subsequent challenges that are emerging as a result, propel us to consider what is beyond this moment. The spirit of humanity, challenged daily by increasing trauma, requires constant reflection on who we are and who we collectively want to be. How can we arise to create a global collective consciousness? What is latent within humanity to bring about the transformation required?

Men can transform their lives with this guide to living a life of integrity. Be Brave and Arise contains: mentoring and encouragement for a life quest; spiritual guidance from the Bahá'í Faith for men over age 15 in all life circumstances; real sharing and experiences of other men; practical actions to take; and questions for reflection.

What exactly do we mean by happiness? Is it attainable or only a wish? The authors make a convincing case that happiness is both real and attainable. The authors explore a variety of topics, such as the purpose of life, the practice of the presence of God, meditation, gratitude, and more.

We now live in a society awash with alcohol and drugs, which makes abstinence appear odd, unreasonable or even fanatical. Yet everyone knows someone (often a family member) whose life has been damaged by drugs or alcohol. So this book advocates rebellion.

It makes the case for choosing a life free of alcohol and drugs – and not only for health reasons. It invites the reader to rebel against indolence, irrationality, prejudice, injustice and hatred; to stand for justice, clarity, community and compassion in the face of apathy and lethargy; to care deeply for humanity and to become a leader in the cultural change needed for society as a whole to fulfill its potential.

The aim of this book is to explain to members of the Bahá’í community how the twelve-step program works. The twelve-step programs—which can help those who suffer from a wide variety of addictive behaviors or who have had family members experience these difficulties—focus on honesty, authenticity, and unconditional love. The healing process is a physical one as well as a spiritually transformative one. This book attempts to show the connections between the recovery and Bahá’í community and what each could learn from the other. This book includes a number of passages from the Bahá’í Writings.
