Equips Christian counselors and therapists to confidently use
mindfulness techniques with their clients in a way that is both
practical and biblical. Accessing mindfulness is a therapeutic
touchstone for a range of emotional issues, from mild distress to
the treatment of trauma, but the term mindfulness has often left
Christians wary. Stripped of Christlike spirituality, it sounds
self-focused at best, and at worst like a fusion with modern
pop-religions of the day. But the quality of mindfulness-of being
fully present, aware of ourselves and our situation so that we can
better respond to the chaos around us-is a profoundly biblical
concept. And it can be used effectively by Christian counselors and
healing practitioners. In A Counselor's Guide to Christian
Mindfulness, Regina Chow Trammel (a clinical social worker) and
John Trent (a marriage and family therapist) team up to offer
training in mindfulness skills used in evidence-based practices,
such as dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment
therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. These therapies
have been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of many
mental health issues, blending elements of neuroscience, social
science, and religious training. This book is the ideal resource to
equip those in the helping professions to faithfully use
mindfulness interventions both professionally and personally and
includes: A historical and theoretical overview of Christian
mindfulness and how it contrasts with other mindfulness-based
practices. A practical guide for how to use mindfulness skills in
counseling and therapeutic practice. A section addressing specific
challenges or situations that your clients face. Dialogue scripts
and contemplation exercises to adapt for your own work. The
practice of Christian mindfulness can be effective in helping
clients manage their intrusive and stressful thoughts, emotions,
relationships, and challenges. This book fills a gap for Christian
counselors and therapists who are eager for a resource that teaches
mindfulness skills from a Christian and biblical perspective.
Harness the power of the magical, mystical, glorious Moon with more
than 100 spells, chants, and rituals, along with Esbat celebrations
for the Full Moon. The Moon is one of our most prominent and
ancient symbols. It has shaped how we understand and track time,
its movement controls the tides, and its rise into the sky signals
the coming of night. The distinct phases of the lunar cycle have
associations with different states of being. These states mirror a
kind of spiritual quest which, like our search for ourselves, never
ends. When we observe the Moon, we see reflections of the grand
pattern of life that is birth, death, and rebirth. With this
invaluable handbook filled with enchantingly beautiful
illustrations, follow the Moon as she traverses each sign of the
zodiac and discover how each astrological phase affects magic-and

of the Blue Moon, the Black Moon, and lunar eclipses. Each Moon
phase is explored individually to cover the phase's main themes
along with Moon rituals, intention setting, and practical ways to

specific suggestions for each phase, you'll discover a variety of
tools for harnessing moon magic, including: Traditional lunar herbs
such as lavender, angelica, mugwort, and sage to magnify and
support your intentions Crystals and gemstones to raise your

Easwaran takes the timeless teachings of the Buddha and other
mystics and shows how we can train the mind not just during
meditation but throughout the day. Feeling trapped by unwanted
thoughts and emotions can seem an inevitable part of life. But
Easwaran, who taught meditation for nearly forty years, shows a way
to break free. Just as a fitness routine can create a strong,
supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality
and a resilient, loving mind. Writing as an experienced, friendly
coach, Easwaran takes the timeless teachings of the Buddha and
other mystics and shows how we can train the mind not just during
meditation but throughout the day. Working with difficult
colleagues, choosing what to eat, and listening to a child's needs
are all opportunities to try out different, wiser responses.
Easwaran shows how training the mind is a glorious challenge - one
that brings joy and purpose to life. --
Mantra is not a scary word. Nor is reciting mantra impractical. An
important and essential part of most every eastern spiritual
practice, it's an easy, accessible tool that anyone can use. Akin
to singing in the shower, it can be done whenever it suits you, on
your own, and no matter what kind of voice you are working with.
Audiences who come to see Alanna Kaivalya at concerts across the
country listen in rapt attention at her telling of the mythology
and the chanting of the chant and she finds that practitioners love
both aspects equally. All spiritual practitioners seek to know
themselves better, and Alanna shows that both of these tools are
interrelated and important elements of the practitioner's personal
development. This book will allow all lovers of myth and mantra to
explore further the power contained within this practice.
