I have been busy finishing up my book. I am really excited about how it has turned out. Last weekend, I went to a book marketing conference, and learned all kinds of cool stuff about how to self publish a book.

My biggest problem right now is coming up with a title that is both descriptive and catchy. Will you help me come up with a title? The title is supposed to have two parts, the heart, and the head.
The heart is something juicy that grabs you.
The head is some thing descriptive that explains what the book is about.
Great titles are both tricky to come up with, and very, very important.
I would really appreciate your help.
Below is a description of the book as a whole. At the URL listed, you will find the outline, and the first page of the book. Please give it a look over, and tell me what title you would make you want
To look inside the cover if you saw it in a bookstore.
I'll give you a free copy of the book when it comes out if you can come up with a great title. Heck, if you are the first to come up with a word that is used in the final title, I'll give you a book.

Here are some tips:
How can you describe it without sounding too intellectual.. but intelligent?
What is a title that is catchy, but not kitschy?
The title should imply some kind of coming together,
a synthesis, a merging of some sort.
Fewer words are better.

Here is the way I describe the book as a whole:

This book is an integrative approach to psycho-spiritual transformation. It weaves together philosophies and techniques from a variety of schools of thought in a new way, creating
an overview that touches on many aspects of the human experience. Some of he prevalent resources for information that I have drawn from are Tantric and Buddhist philosophy, Jungian and transpersonal psychology, core shamanism, western mystery school traditions, as well as the new physics, a la 'What the Bleep." It is a holographic approach to personal growth.
The book presents ten basic metaphysical principles, separated into ten chapters. The chapters are organized by principles of numerological correspondences. For example, the first chapter deals with the basic unity of all creation, the second relates to duality and polarity, and so on and so forth.
