"A life-changing book." -- Oprah
In this moving and intimate book, Geneen Roth, bestselling
author of Feeding the Hungry Heart and Breaking Free from
Compulsive Eating, shows how dieting and emotional eating often
become a substitute for intimacy. Drawing on her own painful
personal experiences, as well as the candid stories of those she
has helped in her seminars, Roth examines the crucial issues that
surround emotional eating: need for control, dependency on
melodrama, desire for what is forbidden, and the belief that one
wrong move can mean catastrophe. She shows why many people overeat
in an attempt to satisfy their emotional hunger, and why weight
loss frequently just uncovers a new set of problems. But her
welcome message is that change is possible. This book will help
readers break destructive, self-perpetuating patterns and learn to
satisfy all the hungers--physical and emotional--that make us
human.

With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic
imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy
of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle
body.
"Yoga of the Subtle Body" unites practical somatic concepts and
wisdom teachings in this guide to the anatomy of the physical,
mental, emotional, and subtle bodies. Tias Little is a master
teacher, and he brings his precise instruction to the wisdom
teachings and philosophy of hatha yoga. He offers us a guided tour
of the body's structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new
structural awareness as grounds for exploring the subtle body. In a
meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between
the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic
imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. We come to
see how the (yoga) body cannot be seen apart from the
psycho-spiritual forces that animate it. Further, Tias offers
readers clear, illuminated instruction for yoga, pranayama, and
meditation techniques that apply these body-mind principles. This
book is essential reading for all serious students and teachers of
yoga.
Each chapter focuses on one of the eight key energetic/anatomy
centers of the body: feet/base, pelvis, sacrum, belly, diaphragm,
heart/lungs, throat, and crown. The book is organized literally
from the ground up, and figuratively from physically basic to
conceptual/subtle. Each chapter has a list of poses for activating
and applying the lessons, guided meditations, and excerpts from
yogic texts. These practical exercises allow readers to immediately
integrate the chapter's lessons into their practice.
