· When can anxiety be good? · How can I change my pain
experience? · How does trauma change the way our brains work? ·
Why can't we tickle ourselves? This collection of science-based
graphic medicine comics addresses these questions (amongst many
others) and makes complex human experiences accessible, engaging
and gently humorous. Written by Steve Haines, a bodyworker and
creative storyteller, and illustrated by Sophie Standing, who
specializes in human sciences, these comics explore topics that
make us fundamentally human - anxiety, pain, trauma, and touch:
Anxiety is Really Strange Pain is Really Strange Trauma is Really
Strange Touch is Really Strange This special boxset also includes a
useful and beautifully illustrated wallchart.
Since childhood, actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling
author Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt compelled to record and keep,
to collect and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a
fanciful habit with no clear goal. And then, when she became a
mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus.
Before she could help these brand-new souls figure out who they
were, she had to go back and understand who she was. Which parts of
life were worth keeping and which were meant to be discarded? What
legacy did she want to leave? She dug through attics and basements,
scouring journals, trunks of letters, spellbooks, and trinket
boxes, trying to answer the question, What inheritance can I give
these children that is true and loving and lasting? What will stay
with them when I am gone? As she searched for and collected this
patchwork inheritance to bequeath, she realized what she was doing
was creating a Grimoire. Perhaps the word brings to mind witches
harboring secrets, and that’s not far off. But a grimoire was the
tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. A woman would record
what she’d been taught as a child and add to it throughout her
lifetime. A grimoire was a guide to keep you alive. Like the
grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record
the things that have kept Hilarie alive, and just might help you
too: people, places, stories. And because it’s important to
infuse magic into daily life, Grimoire Girl also includes
bewitching illustrations and practical ways you can craft an altar,
use poetry spells, flower magic, and recipes for everyday
enchantment. There is magic in all of us. So, start your own look
inward and decide, What will make up your grimoire?Â
Simple tailored exercises designed to calm the mind, promote
well-being and help readers relax, ready for sleep.
As Danielle Rama Hoffman reveals, each one of us has the ability to
receive more, to manifest abundance in all areas of life, without
sacrificing and without doing more and more and more. It is time to
cast aside lack-based consciousness--and the energy of overworking,
overdoing, and overthinking that goes with it--and embrace the art
of feminine manifestation based on love, receptivity, and grace. In
this full-colour deck and guidebook set, Hoffman presents hands-on
tools and highly effective manifestation practices channeled from
the Magdalene Midwives, a higher dimensional collective
intelligence devoted to assisting ascension efforts on Earth. Each
of the 44 cards features a Magdalene Code of Love to empower you,
open your ability to receive, and awaken your natural tendencies
toward prosperity and multidimensional abundance. In the guidebook,
the author explains each Magdalene Code, how to co-create with
them, and how they provide innovative energies of abundance that
deeply nourish your love body and soul. She shows how to use the
cards to create energy vortexes and Love Conception altars that
harness the power of your multidimensionality to expedite
manifestation, attracting money, radiant health, intimate
connections with Source, nourishing relationships, or success in
your thriving mission-career-business--anything which matters to
you and you are aligned with. Building on the Magdalene Code
manifestation techniques, Hoffman explains how to expand your
energy field and love body to contribute to your evolution in
consciousness with the energy of surplus and abundance. She also
shows how the Codes can help remedy lightworker burnout and allow
you to harness the co-creational power of the higher realms,
enabling you to manifest even while you sleep.
