Discover the creative satisfaction and stress-relieving benefits of
embroidery while stitching fun, modern, vibrant designs such as
flowers, plants, animals, landscapes, and celestial scenes.
Beginning a new creative pursuit can be intimidating, but
Satisfying Stitches takes all the guesswork and fear out of getting
started with techniques designed to boost confidence and provide
relaxation. This easy-to-follow, photo-illustrated guide includes a
review of the basic and inexpensive supplies needed to get started,
foundational techniques, and step-by-step instructions for creating
a variety of stitches. As your skills and confidence grow, you will
find that stitches that may look advanced are quite simple, and
you'll be able to easily add dimension and texture to your designs.
The exclusive embroidery designs include a wide variety of motifs
and patterns, such as houseplants, florals, mushrooms, butterflies,
fish, landscapes, and sunsets, in a variety of color palettes. The
projects are divided into three levels to match your confidence,
skill level, and time. While most beginner books don't go beyond a
couple of easy stitches, Satisfying Stitches takes the opposite
approach, incorporating stitches that pack a big "wow" factor but
are quite easy, such as fern stitch, wheatear stitch, thistle
flowers, and woven wheel roses. Author Hope Brasfield offers tons
of encouragement to beginners and beyond. You'll learn to embrace
imperfection, slow down, and enjoy the process. You will also
discover, as Hope did, that embroidery offers much more than a
creative outlet. Focusing on something that requires imagination,
handwork, and concentration can help reduce stress and promote
relaxation. Satisfying Stitches features: A wide range of
attractive embroidery stitches that can be used to create any
embroidery designs 18 original embroidery designs for popular
motifs Detailed step-by-step instructions with clear photographs
Troubleshooting tips and tricks throughout the book So much more
than pretty patterns, Satisfying Stitches offers an exciting
opportunity to gain new skills, become a more confident creative,
ditch the smart phone, and de-stress.
What would it mean to become supernatural? Access the knowledge and
tools you need to step outside physical reality and reach
extraordinary states of being. What if you could tune in to
frequencies beyond our material world... change your brain
chemistry to access transcendent levels of awareness... create a
new future... and transform your very biology to enable profound
healing? This is what Dr. Joe Dispenza offers in this revolutionary
book: a body of knowledge and a set of tools that allow ordinary
people-people just like you-to reach extraordinary states of being.
Dr. Joe, author of the New York Times bestseller You Are the
Placebo as well as Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and Evolve
Your Brain, draws on up-to-the-minute research in neuroscience,
epigenetics, and quantum physics to show how this kind of
transformation takes place and what it can mean for our lives. In
these pages, you'll explore: - How to free yourself from the past
by reconditioning your body to a new mind - How changing your
frequency allows you to create reality in the "generous present
moment" - The secret science of the pineal gland and its role in
accessing mystical realms of reality - How to shift your awareness
beyond the limited, predictable material world and move into the
quantum field of infinite possibilities - And much more Using tools
and practices ranging from state-of-the-art brain imaging to
exercises such as a walking meditation, Dr. Joe offers nothing less
than a program for stepping outside our physical reality and into a
new world. "This is who we really are," he writes, "and this is the
future I'm creating-one in which each and every one of us becomes
supernatural."
The world moves fast, but that doesn't mean we have to. In this timely guide to mindfulness, Haemin Sunim, a Buddhist monk born in Korea and educated in the United States, offers advice on everything from handling setbacks to dealing with rest and relationships, in a beautiful book combining his teachings with calming full-colour illustrations. Haemin Sunim's simple messages - which he first wrote when he responded to requests for advice on social media - speak directly to the anxieties that have become part of modern life and remind us of the strength and joy that come from slowing down.
Hugely popular in Korea, Haemin Sunim is a Zen meditation teacher whose teachings transcend religion, borders and ages. With insight and compassion drawn from a life full of change, the bestselling monk succeeds at encouraging all of us to notice that when you slow down, the world slows down with you.
Jy wil asem skep en die mooi dinge raaksien. Maar soms raak die lewe
dol en jy erg gestres. Bewustelikheid (mindfulness) en meditasie kan
mens help om met nuwe oë na die wêreld te kyk.
Johannes de Villiers vertel die stories van gewone mense wat geleer het
hoe om beter interpersoonlike verhoudings te hê, 'n positiewe bydrae
tot die wêreld te maak, hul woede en stres beter te bestuur en die
wonderskone in elke oomblik - ook die moeilikes - raak te sien. Dit kan
ook jou storie wees.
Channel the power and use the magic of more than 50 Celtic
goddesses. The Celtic goddesses and druids were legendary beings.
Now these heavenly spirits have personal relationships with us in
everything we do. All females are divinely attuned to goddesses
from birth for guidance and protection through life until death.
Working by divine plan, goddesses imbue us with their ancient
wisdom, which becomes our own, helping us to avoid pitfalls and
reach our full potential. Celtic Goddesses and Their
Spells features 52 of these inspiring deities, all
beautifully illustrated. Gillian Kemp gives a description of each
goddess and her main powers, followed by a spell associated with
that goddess. For example, Cerridwen is the goddess of truth and
she encourages you to be your most authentic self, while Awen,
goddess of inspiration, helps you find the answers you need.

Collaboration The Mind's Eye is a collaboration between the
artist's emotional response to the poems and the immediacy of the
poet's reaction to nature and personal encounters. The Poet Gail
Gowers Cotton is a member of the Poetry Society and the British
Haiku Society. Her poems have appeared in the Societies' journals
as well as in other specialist magazines. She "scatters" her work
by leaving poems on buses, in cafes and tucked into library books.
The Mind's Eye is her second book. Her inspiration comes from
nature and personal encounters including memories of Ireland,
Africa, North Wales and visits to Sydenham Hill Woods, Dulwich
Picture Gallery and the Horniman Museum in South London, where she
now lives. The Artist Pat Keay graduated as a painter at the
Edinburgh College of Art in 1971. She has worked as an artist and
designer in Scotland, Kenya and London and now lives in Worthing.
Read more on www.patkeay.com. The illustrations come from Pat's
spontaneous reaction to the essence, rather than the detail, of a
particular Haiku.
