You've heard the expression, "It's the" little" things that
count." It's more than a simple platitude. Research has shown that
integrating little daily practices into your life can actually
change the way your brain works.
This guide offers simple things you can do routinely, mainly
inside your mind, that will support and increase your sense of
security and worth, resilience, effectiveness, well-being, insight,
and inner peace. For example, they include: taking in the good,
protecting your brain, feeling safer, relaxing anxiety about
imperfection, not knowing, enjoying your hands, taking refuge, and
filling the hole in your heart. At first glance, you may be tempted
to underestimate the power of these seemingly simple practices. But
they will gradually change your brain through what's called
experience-dependent neuroplasticity.
Moment to moment, whatever you're aware of--sounds, sensations,
thoughts, or your most heartfelt longings--is based on underlying
neural activities. This book offers simple brain training practices
you can do every day to protect against stress, lift your mood, and
find greater emotional resilience.
Just one practice each day can help you to: Be good to yourself
Enjoy life as it is Build on your strengths Be more effective at
home and work Make peace with your emotions
With over fifty daily practices you can use anytime, anywhere,
"Just One Thing"is a groundbreaking combination of mindfulness
meditation and neuroscience that can help you deepen your sense of
well-being and unconditional happiness.
The mysteries of the tarot and the legend of dragons come together
in this stunning box set, including a full tarot deck and 64-page
guidebook. Majestic in its power, the dragon in Western culture
appears in myth and legend as the jealous guardian of a treasure
hoard - epitomized by J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug, and seen more
recently in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and George R.R.
Martin's Game of Thrones series. But that is not the whole story -
dragons are complex creatures, and the beast is usually credited
with cunning and often the power of speech - it is not just a
brutal, terrifying monster. Although occasionally hostile, as when
an earth dragon stirs and human cities crumble, there is no
personal malice. Dragons simply operate by different laws that do
not always place our interest at their centre. Understanding those
laws and adapting to accommodate them is one path to wisdom. This
is the spirit in which dragons inspire this tarot - tarot also
operates by laws that are slightly beyond our conscious grasp,
lifting the veil on the spiritual undercurrent of the worlds we
inhabit. This traditional 78-card deck contains fire-breathing
dragons, winged dragons of the air, sea serpents and earth dwellers
who will reveal to you the secrets of the past, the possibilities
of the present and all the potential of the future.

At times of stress, getting out into the natural environment works
wonders: it is widely acknowledged to have a calming effect on us
both physically and mentally. In Japan, they have a special term
for this: shinrin-yoku, 'forest bathing'. In this book, Sarah Devos
and Katriina Kilpi explain just what forest bathing involves. They
provide specific advice on how to approach the concept: exactly
where you should be, the best times to choose and all the things
you can experience to connect deeply with nature. All this plus
easily achieved hands-on assignments, space in which to note down
your observations, and tips on how to integrate the forest even
more deeply into your everyday life.

Pocket-sized with bold black-and-white illustrations by Jason DeAntonis, "How to Sit" provides explicit, simple directions on the mechanics of posture and breathing, along with instructions for how best to achieve the awakened, relaxed state of clarity to cultivate concentration and compassion. Following the instructions, Thich Nhat Hanh shares a series of secular guided meditations that help us return to our breath, spend some time in the present moment, and come home to ourselves.
The function of meditation practice is to heal and transform. Scientific studies indicate that meditation contributes tremendously to well-being, general health, and longevity. "How to Sit" is a unique gift for those who want a comprehensive yet simple guide to getting started with meditation practice, as well as meditators with training in any spiritual tradition who want to be reminded of the foundation of practice.

May You Be Well is a collection of prayers and blessings for
non-believers, believers in something or someone, and believers in
everything or nothing. Just everyday good vibes for health, happiness
and hope.
Most of us pray when things get tough. Most of us don't have a
religion, or a god. We just pray. We pray that our friends are safe, we
pray that our earth will heal, we pray for help. We're asking our inner
selves, a higher being, the cosmic or the divine to guide us.
Sometimes we just need an affirmation to help ourselves through a bad
day and sometimes we need some help coming up with the right words to
manifest good fortune for ourselves and the world around us. Putting
our feelings and desires into words is a key part of many spiritual
practices because it helps us centre ourselves and set our intentions.
Prayers, affirmations and blessings help us express positive emotions,
hold space for challenging ones and call out to the universe for the
intangible things we're seeking, such as love, grace and hope. May You
Be Well has passages for every need, including:
- Expressing gratitude and grief
- Summoning positive emotions such as hope, joy, or courage
- Coping with adversityAsking for help and finding reassurance
- Holding space for othersCelebrating friendship
- Manifesting good fortune
- Wishing others well
Our spiritual lives might all look a bit different but we don't need to
invoke any specific faith to share words of kindness because wishing
each other well with open hearts is something we all have in common.
