Lonely after their family moves to London, Ben and Hattie are
delighted to find a new friend in the park: a talking lion wearing
a top hat, dress suit and red cravat. But not only is Mr Dandy Paws
an exceptionally well-dressed feline, he's a highway lion who robs
from those who are cruel to animals and invests the proceeds in
animal justice. But with a P.I. on his tail, Dandy's latest scheme
- a daring break-out at Tower Zoo - could get Ben and Hattie into
far more trouble than they bargained for ... A delightfully
old-fashioned debut adventure for modern children aged 7 and up,
full of friendship, daring and fun Set in an off-the-wall 1920s
London complete with talking animals! Strong animal welfare and
ecological themes with a funny and fantastical twist Inside
illustrations with a classic nostalgic feel by Roxana de Rond
Nature as Mirror addresses the natural cycles in our lives and the
reflection of our own inner process in nature. Basing our
psychospiritual development on the model of the tree a symbol of
the continuity of life Stephanie Sorrell shows how we may
understand the rhythms and cycles of the tree and integrate them
into our vision in a conscious way. Through the lens of the natural
world there is no such thing as death only transformation. Once we
understand this we can transform our lives by removing mankind's
deepest fear of death and non being. In this way Nature as Mirror
is an ecological guidebook for body mind and soul.
Dr Roberto Assagioli's innovative work, which began in 1n 1910,
went beyond his contemporaries, Freud, Jung and Reich, to embrace
wholeness on all levels. Because of this, psychosynthesis has
become known as 'the psychology of the soul.' This psychospiritual
psychology aims to uncover the layers of complexity which render
the personal will powerless. Through a process of bringing
awareness to unconscious processes in the psyche, each masquerading
as 'sub personalities' the self can achieve integration and
synthesis between the personality and the Self (spirit).
Psychosynthesis aims to heighten awareness of one observing 'I' so
that a dialogue can take place between the self (personality) and
the Self. This awareness is expanded through visualization
exercises, meditation and utilization of the will which can work in
service of the 'Divine.' Today psychosynthesis provides a simple,
yet scientific template where psychology, soul and spirituality can
meet on mutual ground.
Mans greatest fear is of death. Because of this, a lot of energy
goes into defending ourselves against this reality whether it be
through illicit or recreational drugs, business or work. Astral
Projection Made Easy is an attempt to eliminate this fear through
approaching the whole concept of life beyond and outside the
physical body through Near-Death Experiences (NDEs)Lucid Dreaming
and the technique of Out-of-Body experiences (OBEs). The author
draws from a rich source of information, including her own
experiences of astral projection over 20 years. Within this
context, she includes Eastern teaching and explores astral
projection from a scientific, spiritual and psychic perspective.
She includes a chapter on consciousness as well as what
precipitates an altered state of consciousness. In order to support
her work she includes historical case studies of other writers and
contemporary ones as well as her own. There is a section on how to
identify an out-of-body experience, what it may feel like, and the
very real 'symptoms' experienced on a somatic level. More than
anything, the work is engaging, accessible and rich in content
"Depression as a Spiritual Journey" is the first book to address
depression as a spiritual journey in the context of medication and
counselling. It serves as an invitation to reframe depression in a
new way. Many people resist embracing medication as part of the
healing process. Others confuse emotional and mental dis-ease. What
is the difference between melancholia and clinical depression? Why
do people today suffer from an assortment of depressions rather
than good old- fashioned melancholia? What is the difference
between psychosis and depression, or the dark night of the soul and
depression? What criteria do we use to make these distinctions?
Stephanie Sorrell defines some of these distinctions and unearths
many of our mindsets that shape our ambivalent attitude to
depression. More than anything, Stephanie validates depression as a
valuable and integral part of the journey with all its gains,
losses and insight. She does not provide easy answers, but
encourages the reader to face the very real challenge of working
with depression as a spiritual guide and teacher.
Having suffered from major depression for much of her life,
Stephanie Sorrell has learned to work with the disease rather than
against it. Where so many mental-health books feature 'fighting and
overcoming' depression, her experience and understanding have
enabled her to see the value of the condition rather than what it
can take away. In this easy-to-read introduction to depression
Stephanie shows the various ways in which it manifests, what is
available on a natural as well as chemical level and how the
diversity of psychological therapies serve and hold depression.
There is also a spiritual thread running through which invites the
reader to go further...
