Discover a Lifetime of Deeper Sleep and Dreams Naturopathic doctor
Laura Harris Smith offers practical guidance to help you increase
in prayer, bolster faith and sleep better. She explains the harmful
effects--spiritual, emotional and physical--of what keeps you
awake. Then she leads you to a place of peace where you will learn
to hear God speak to you as you rest, and discover how to speak
back through various avenues of prayer. The entire book takes place
in your bedroom, with chapters like * The Treasures in Your Bedroom
(rest, dreams) * The Monsters in Your Closet (familiar spirits) *
The Weapons under Your Pillow (prayer, sleep) * The Junk under Your
Bed (fear, unforgiveness) * The Morning After (interpreting your
dreams) Where there is no sleep, there are no dreams; where there
is fear, there is no faith; and where there is stress, there is no
peace. It's time for you to Give It to God and Go to Bed! Contains
Laura's "10 Days to Deeper Sleep and Dreams" program with links to
10 good-night videos where you'll receive nightly prayer and
impartation. "Laura Harris Smith absolutely hits the nail on the
head to render powerless the killers of anxiety, worry and lack of
peace."--DR MARK SHERWOOD, co-CEO, Functional Medical Institute

How to release negative energy from the body by 'not-wanting' and
'not-doing', from the creator of Mindflow (c). The groundbreaking
MindFlow (c) Method is your key to finally overcoming anxiety,
combating stress, and tackling emotional blocks, thereby releasing
an infinite source of life energy. Through a powerful yet simple
combination of movements, you can trigger energy shifts and
reconnect to the natural flow of life. This is how the MindFlow
Method works: Using movements similar to Qigong, we tap into the
energy field within and around us. This brings us into a higher
state of consciousness (the G4 state) where our bodies release
'happy' hormones that help us relax. In this state, we can harness
any toxic energy that comes our way and use it as our own strength.
This brings us into alignment with our own inner power, calm in the
knowledge that we are connected to life energy. Discover the
life-changing effects of the MindFlow Method, which will teach you
how to release your resistance to challenges, raise your energy
level, and move into a state of flow and deep inner peace.
A teacher's self-care guide for building resilience, boosting
emotional strength, and finding hope in the face of daily stress
and overwhelming challenges. If you're an educator who works with
children, you often face intense pressure in the classroom. This
was true before the pandemic, but now you may be feeling it even
more. You aren't alone. From having to adapt to remote learning on
the spot, to balancing the impacts of the pandemic on your personal
life, many teachers are experiencing record levels of stress,
trauma, and burnout. In addition, as an entire generation of
students struggle to meet the academic and social emotional
learning (SEL) challenges caused by a extended remote learning, you
may be dealing with kids who are anxious, traumatized, and likely a
year or two behind developmentally as they return to the classroom.
It's a lot to manage, and you may feel like you are at your
breaking point. Written by an educational director at the Greater
Good Science Center, Surviving Teacher Burnout is a 52-week
self-care guide for teachers that features simple, low-lift
strategies for increasing resilience and fostering greater
well-being, confidence, and hope. Grounded in research-based
positive psychology, the book offers tons of practical activities
and journal-style prompts to help you cultivate feelings of
gratitude, optimism, mindfulness, forgiveness, empathic joy,
self-compassion, purpose, and curiosity--so you can return to your
classroom each day with renewed energy and inspiration. You'll also
find doable strategies to share with other educators to help infuse
more positive energy in classrooms and schools, and create more
supportive systems that promote a sense of meaning, belonging, and
connectedness among teachers and students. If you're like many
educators, you may feel you lack the time and energy to engage in
self-care practices. This guide offers bite-sized insights and
activities that are simple, approachable, and usable, so you can
thrive in the classroom, in your community, and in life!

Dryden draws a distinction between healthy and unhealthy anger, and

what triggers it. The good news is that you have the power to
change this pattern, and to develop strategies to express your
anger in a helpful way, so that you can communicate what you feel
without scaring yourself, or those close to you. Practical,
rational, strategic and supportive, this updated second edition
contains the latest therapeutic insights, allowing you to make
lasting and meaningful changes to the way you process your beliefs

Parenting is stressful. For many parents, who are always busy,
usually tired, and probably not trained in dealing with children,
the words "tranquility" and "parenting" do not go together. Don't
you just wish there was some technique out there that could help
you become calm, content, and confident parent? Something that you
could have on hand all the time to help you through your most
challenging situations and stressful days? Well, there is
something, and it comes from a wisdom tradition that has been
helping people through difficult situations for about 2300 years.
The psychological techniques developed by ancient Stoics have
recently been rediscovered, and Stoicism is enjoying a renaissance
among people from all walks of life who are looking for
fulfillment, tranquility, and yes, the meaning of life. Modern
Stoicism has straightforward answers to all these questions, as
well as practical techniques for achieving eudaimonia (the Greek
word for "human flourishing"). Stoicism encourages everyone to
think things through for themselves and use their own capacity for
reason and goodness. And once you learn the basic principles of
Stoicism, you can apply them all the time, in any situation.
Tranquility Parenting describes how Brittany Polat discovered
modern Stoicism and what it can offer to stressed-out parents of
the 21st century. As a mother of three young children, Polat used
to constantly doubt her parenting abilities. She felt anxious,
frustrated, and guilty about her perceived failings as a parent.
Now, as a practicing Stoic, she gained the confidence and calm she
was craving and has more energy to be fully engaged and happy with
them. What will this book do for you? It will not tell you how to
potty train your child, but it will tell you how to enjoy the time
you spend potty training your child. It will not tell you how to
monitor your teen on social media, but it will show you how to use
practical wisdom to make decisions about media consumption. It will
not tell you how to make your kids eat vegetables, but it will
explain how to be present and engaged while you are teaching your
kids to eat vegetables. So if you are willing to invest time and
energy in applying Stoic insights, you may find that tranquility
parenting is not only possible, but truly the best option for you
and your family.

Listen within. You are the expert in you. Chronic vertigo,
dizziness, and tinnitus are invisible disruptions to a person's
life that can be unresponsive to traditional treatments, leaving
sufferers feeling hopeless. Yet healing is possible using
neuroplasticity, the brain and body's capacity to change itself.
So, why is nobody teaching us how to do it? Vestibular audiologist
and neuroplasticity therapist Joey Remenyi explains why holistic
neuroplasticity is often overlooked; why nobody else can prescribe
it for you; and why ignoring, denying, distracting, and avoiding
symptoms may not work. Joey gives hope to the hopeless with her
pioneering self-study approach to healing chronic symptoms that
outlines how we can rebuild a new normal with methodical steps.
Using client case studies and her own personal experience, Joey
guides the reader to gently feel their way through
healing--physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Including home exercise ideas and a heart-centered approach to the
