'It is clear that our bodies still recognize nature as our home...'
- Yoshifumi Miyazaki 'Forest bathing' or shinrin-yoku is a way of
walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It
brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting edge
environmental health science. Simply put, forest bathing is the
practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a
morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all
the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential
oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an
extraordinary effect on positive feelings, stress hormone levels,
parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous activity,
blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. In this wonderful
book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature, as
we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of
both the environment around us and the goings on of our own minds.
This is a story about a strange encounter on the golf course with
someone who, on the face of it, knows nothing about golf but who
ends up teaching the author about the inner game and questioning
his approach to golf and to life itself. It's not just about golf
or sport, nor about improvement or progress or how to do something.
If anything, it points to a way of living effortlessly that is free
and harmonious, that is, to the essence of mindfulness and
non-duality. Each of the nineteen chapters contains a lesson which
the author palpably resists for the first few holes. But, gradually
he comes to realise the profound truth in the teachings of the
stranger and begins to understand the radical perspective of no one
playing.
Slow Pleasure is a practical and philosophical exploration of
pleasure, teaching you how to claim, prioritise and integrate
pleasure into your daily life. We live in a world of breakneck
speed. It can be intimidating and nearly impossible to slow down.
In this crisis of pace, we are often disembodied, disconnected, and
forget that we even live in a body! In this beautiful book,
pleasure coach and educator Euphemia Russell (they/them) teaches us
that, despite our collective challenges, we can cultivate pleasure
and connection. Starting with the philosophy of pleasure, Euphemia
deepens your understanding and then helps you interrogate what is
impeding your ability to feel the whole pleasure spectrum. Slow
Pleasure will help you establish a pleasure practice of your own,
expand your pleasure dial, help you understand your desires and
teach you how to continue to explore the depths and boundaries of
your pleasure. Woven throughout the book are reflection questions
and pleasure practices that bring you back into your body, make you
slow down to listen to yourself, and help you consciously begin to
prioritise your pleasure. Slow Pleasure teaches us that pleasure
goes way beyond sex and should be cultivated and celebrated in
every moment.
IT TAKES JUST TEN MINUTES a day train your mind - you will feel
more awake, more alive and more creative. Using these carefully
researched exercises you can increase your attention span, realise
your potential and use your mind to its full capacity. Yes, just
ten...short ... minutes. Nearly half of our waking hours are spent
thinking about something other than what we are doing. We are only
aware of a tiny fraction of what we are thinking, feeling and
sensing - so we're barely conscious of how and why we behave the
way we do. This book sets out to help you get your mind out of
automatic more often. The human mind is an extraordinary thing. It
determines the way we experience and respond to whatever life
throws at us. Yet most of us live as though we have no control over
our minds. This is simply not true. If we want to change our lives
in any way, the most effective way to do that is to change the way
our mind is shaped - the way in which we interpret and respond to
everyday events as well as to our own thoughts and feelings. Mind
Time contains simple, clear exercises that take only ten minutes
per day and our research tells us that if you do these exercises,
your life will change. The exercises build three core capacities -
curiosity, self-awareness and acceptance. If you do them, and build
these capacities, you will become less reactive and more
responsive. This will lead to positive benefits in several key
areas: your relationships, your ability to deal with unexpected
events and your capacity to stay purposeful and to see your life as
a matter of choices rather than seemingly impossible challenges.
Just set aside ten minutes each day to engage in a few simple
practices, then after a short while you will start to see a
transformation for the better. That's our promise to you. Isn't it
time we learned to shape our minds - not be shaped by them?

This book provides perspectives and insights across the educational
system for how we might move toward living out this wish in all
schools. The chapters provide perspectives on fundamental questions
that have been guiding recent research on wellbeing in schools: How
do school communities flourish together? How does supporting
educator wellbeing connect to teaching, learning, leading in
schools? What characteristics, qualities and strategies support the
wellbeing of the whole school community? This book is unique in
that it answers these questions from the perspectives of teachers,
students, administrators in K-12 schools, as well as from
university and the wider community. Importantly, these chapters
provide a repertoire of varied answers to the question that
underpins this shift in research toward a positive organizational
perspective: How can we leverage what works well to grow more, to
instill in each community member a sense of their value and
capacity to contribute? These chapters serve as examples,
invitations, and inspiration for readers to notice in their own
contexts ways they can grow wellbeing through a focused attention
on building appreciative, strengths-based, positive approaches to
teaching, learning, and leading in all schools.
