Wild Empty Spaces
Author: Vince Gowmon
Publisher: Creativ Press
ISBN: 9780993859526
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
In Wild Empty Spaces, Vince Gowmon leads you through six stages of the soul, from its arrival on Earth, through its expression in childhood, relationships, its summons to reflect, slow and gradually return to the wild empty spaces where we hear its whispers calling us home. This courageous journey is not so much about dying and death on a physical level, but about bowing to Mystery, to something much larger than our individual self. More specifically, the poems are an emphatic invitation to become intimate with the subtle entreaties of Mother Nature, to walk with the wisdom of inquiry, feel deeply, dream boldly, and allow the force of our longings to break our hearts open. They are an invitation to brave the space between what we've always known, the spaces in which our immanent wildness finds us.

Why eating the foods God has ordained for our use is better not just for our bodies, but for the animals and for the earth. You may think you know what the Word of Wisdom says, but you’ll be amazed at what you have missed. Learn why Mormons all over the world are “waking up” to the Word of Wisdom!

We cannot escape life's wounds. They come with the normal wear and tear of human existence.

"Transforming Wounds into Wisdom: Change Your Attitudes and Save Your Life" makes it clear, however, that whatever unhealed emotional injuries you sustained as a result of hurtful childhood experiences are not life sentences-they are opportunities for ongoing personal growth. More specifically, Jolyn Davidson shows you the way to heal those old emotional wounds and to change the self-defeating attitudes that have arisen from them. She offers valuable and useful tools that will help you free yourself from the tenacious ties that have been binding you to your painful past.

Ultimately, this profound book is about "Hope-Healing-Wholeness." It is a road map that will arm you with not only greater understanding but also an enhanced ability to transform your emotional wounds into wisdom both by dismantling old attitudes and by fashioning new ones. And the wisdom, strength, and capacity to care for your needs in healthy ways that you have acquired on your heroic journey will make it possible for you to create a more meaningful and richer life.

Not Yet Married
Author: Marshall Segal

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

90 Seconds to a Life You Love
Author: Joan I. Rosenberg
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316414301
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Learn how to manage your most difficult feelings and build the emotional strength you need to create the life of your dreams. Sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability. In 30 years as a practicing psychologist, Dr. Joan Rosenberg has found that what most often blocks people from success and feeling capable in life is the inability to experience, move through, and handle these 8 unpleasant feelings. Knowing how to deal with intense, overwhelming, or uncomfortable feelings is essential to building confidence, emotional strength, and resilience. Yet when we distract or disconnect from these feelings, we move away from confidence, health, and our desired pursuits, ultimately undermining our ability to fully realize our ambitions. Neuroscientists suggest that the biological lifespan of a feeling, often known first through bodily sensations, lasts approximately 90 seconds. Dr. Rosenberg teaches readers to be aware, consciously lean into, and balance these unpleasant emotions by riding one or more 90-second waves of the bodily sensations. By staying present to these 8 feelings, we cultivate the confidence that we can handle life's challenges and the deep sense we can pursue whatever we want. Combining more than three decades of clinical experience with aspects of clinical psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience research, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love is a strategic and practical guide on building core emotional strength, reducing anxiety, and developing the confidence you need to create a life of your design -- a life you love.
