by Geradine Walsh
hatherleighpress.com
Motherhood is a tightly woven knot of physical, mental, emotional and social changes. But it doesn’t need to be. Unraveling Motherhood offers insights on maternal mental health, identity and vulnerability for anyone who is lost in the blur of the voices in their minds. Drawn from real-life experiences, Unraveling Motherhood provides support for anyone navigating this beautiful, wonderful, terrifying stage of their life. And, by teaching skills to combat self-criticism, accept our own flaws and cultivate a positive mindset, it offers a motivational toolkit for mothers both old and new. We each have our own understanding of what motherhood entails and as these preconceived ideas falter and fail during the many intense, exhausting and overwhelming periods of motherhood, we begin to doubt our ability to be a mother. We begin to unravel. Yet through this process, we can find our own truth by challenging the assumptions we have about motherhood and ourselves.
IT’S JUST A THOUGHT Emotional Freedom Through Deliberate Thinking
by Thomas Sterner
newworldlibrary.com
Ever wonder why you continually think about this, that, or the other when you’d rather be enjoying a moment, pursuing a dream, or completing a project? Author Thomas M. Sterner knows you are not alone and offers methods for thinking, rather than being thought. As Tom’s thousands of clients know, directing your thoughts instead of being directed by them is possible and transformative. He outlines liberating ways to first observe and then master your thinking, allowing you to:
- recognize unhelpful historical and present day programming
- understand how the conscious and subconscious minds interact
- experience the relationship between heart and brain
The skills Tom teaches prove that we are not the thoughts and emotions that can overwhelm us, and that on any given day we have the power to connect to who we really are and achieve what we really want and need. Filled with inspiring examples and practical action steps, It’s Just a Thought exposes our limitations and handicaps and gives us the tools to make overcoming them a joyful process of empowerment.
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO REFLEXOLOGY
by Ruth Hull
HealingArtsPress.com
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves applying finger or thumb pressure to specific points on the hands and feet. Called “reflexes,” these points reflect, or mirror, the organs and structures of the body as well as a person’s emotional health. In this way, the hands and feet are “mini maps” or “microcosms” of the body that can be used to encourage holistic healing. Presenting the most complete reflexology study guide available, this full-color illustrated textbook is designed for use both in the classroom and as a home study resource. Ideal for students of reflexology up to levels 2 and 3, it exceeds the curriculum requirements of all the major awarding bodies as well as meeting the current National Occupational Standards for reflexology. Providing detailed and accurate anatomical drawings, zone and reflex maps, and muscle tables, the book outlines each body system, explaining how, when, and why to work the reflexes. It explores foot reflexology, hand reflexology, as well as meridian therapy and offers extensive basic pathology of all body systems, including case studies, allowing the student to develop interpretive diagnostic and treatment planning skills. Each chapter also includes a study outline as well as review and multiple choice questions.
QUANTUM INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE: A New Paradigm For HEALTH, DISEASE PREVENTION, and HEALING.
by Amit Goswami and Valentina Onisor
monkfishpublishing.com
Inspired by the Dalai Lama to apply the integrative ideas of quantum science to practical everyday problems in people’s lives, physicist Amit Goswami began working in 1999 in the field of health and healing. His first task was to use the then-new quantum metaphysics to provide a basic science for the systems of alternative medicine and thus begin a tentative integrative medicine. This was accomplished in The Quantum Doctor, published in 2004. But what was still lacking was a unified theory of health leading to a new science of health that would treat disease as a health disorder. Much more expertise in specifics was needed for such a project. In 2016, Goswami partnered with Valentina Onisor, MD, who has trained in both allopathic and several systems of alternative medicine as well, including Ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. This book is the culmination of their efforts to date. It is intended for both laypeople and health professionals.
