Pages : 273
Book Description
Build an integrated, deeply personal practice to cultivate transformation, self-trust, and awakening with insights and techniques from beloved teacher Sarah Powers. More than just physical poses on a mat, yoga can be a profound path of self-realization. Lit from Within encourages readers to pursue yoga in its fullness, examining conscious and unconscious habits, connecting to our inner landscapes, and freeing us to relate to ourselves and our world with a sacred outlook. Sarah Powers helps readers relate to five levels of our human experience--physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and interpersonal. Each section offers an opportunity for self-inquiry and practices to fuel our growth, including yin yoga, meditation, emotional intelligence exercises like creating connection with an inner critic, and interpersonal dynamics drawn from the Internal Family Systems approach. Learning to recognize, reflect on, and at times re-direct these different levels of experience adds a vital dimension to the practice. The book draws on Sarah's many years of practice and teaching, influenced by the rich tapestries of yin yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and psychology. In these challenging times, Lit from Within offers a path to health, wholeness, and connection--from the inside out.

The Lonely Heart of Maybelle Lane
Author: Kate O'Shaughnessy
Publisher: Yearling
ISBN: 1984893866
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Maybelle Lane is looking for her father, but on the road to Nashville she finds so much more: courage, brains, heart--and true friends. Eleven-year-old Maybelle Lane collects sounds. She records the Louisiana crickets chirping, Momma strumming her guitar, their broken trailer door squeaking. But the crown jewel of her collection is a sound she didn't collect herself: an old recording of her daddy's warm-sunshine laugh, saved on an old phone's voicemail. It's the only thing she has of his, and the only thing she knows about him. Until the day she hears that laugh--his laugh--pouring out of the car radio. Going against Momma's wishes, Maybelle starts listening to her radio DJ daddy's new show, drinking in every word like a plant leaning toward the sun. When he announces he'll be the judge of a singing contest in Nashville, she signs up. What better way to meet than to stand before him and sing with all her heart? But the road to Nashville is bumpy. Her starch-stiff neighbor Mrs. Boggs offers to drive her in her RV. And a bully of a boy from the trailer park hitches a ride, too. These are not the people May would have chosen to help her, but it turns out they're searching for things as well. And the journey will mold them into the best kind of family--the kind you choose for yourself.

Book Description
Research finds that by middle school, 40-70 percent of girls are dissatisfied with two or more parts of their body, and body satisfaction hits rock bottom between the ages of 12 and 15[1]. In the Journal of Youth and Adolescence the study "The Dynamics of Self-Esteem: A Growth-Curve Analysis" found girls' self-esteem plummets at age 12 and doesn't improve until 20, and-unhappiness is attributed to changes in body shape[2]. A survey conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy found 32.7% of sexually experienced black girls aged 15-19 reported having 2 or more male partners in the last year. Research done by Girls Inc., showed that among black girls between the ages of 12-18 tested for sexually transmitted diseases, 25% tested positive for at least one STD, with chlamydia and gonorrhea most prevalent. Although black girls made up about 15% of all U.S. girls between the ages 13 and 19, they accounted for 72% of all HIV cases reported among young women. Many rap videos heavily promote sex without consequences. We can see the results are devastating[3]. [1] Cash, Thomas F., and Thomas Pruzinsky.

A Spiritual Book to Be Read By All
Author: Annabelle Mayes
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098098226
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Annabelle Mayes typed these words many, many years ago. She had a dream where Jesus talked to her. He was wearing a blue robe and sitting on a large rock. She could not see His face because it was shining so brightly toward her. He asked her if she would take up His sword and follow Him. She said yes. He said He was looking for two thousand people to help Him spread the gospel around the world. The next night, Annabelle dreamt of an angel flying toward her and skidded to a stop. She then saw another angel in the far distance, standing on a cloud. The angel had a wand in her hand. The angel reached out and touched the top of Annabelle's hand, and the wand sparkled like a fourth of July sparkler. She started typing on her computer one page a day. They were a gift of spiritual writings given to her. She stored them away for several years. Recently, she decided to do something with them and is now rearranging them into books.
