Coming to a higher level of wholeness and healing is entirely possible. You can still live your best life ever! Why is it important that sexual abuse survivors heal? There are a myriad of mental and physical health challenges that can present for those hurt in this way. Additionally, emotional patterns need to be examined and remedied so they can live a fulfilling life. Sadly, the suicide rate is high among survivors who do not heal. For some, addictions become a way of coping with feelings they do not want to experience in everyday life. Another set of compelling reasons to heal is victims of sexual abuse tend to either become self destructive or turn aggressive toward others.

With over twenty chapters, this book covers every aspect of emotional healing from sexual abuse. Real life methods are given for not only coping, but thriving. Holistic helpers are revealed that can speed the recovery of emotional wounds as you transform with nature.

Seven Flowers

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE GARDEN MEDIA AWARDS, INSPIRATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR** The lotus, lily, sunflower, opium poppy, rose, tulip and orchid. Seven flowers: seven stories full of surprise and secrets. Where and when did these flowers originate? What is the nature of their power and how was it acquired? What use has been made of them in gardens, literature and art? These are both histories and detective stories, full of incident, unexpected revelations, and irony. The opium poppy, for example, returned to haunt its progenitors in the West; and while Confucius saw virtue and modesty in his native orchids, the ancient Greeks saw only sex. These are flowers of life and death; of purity and passion; of greed, envy and virtue; of hope and consolation; of the beauty that drives men wild. All seven demonstrate the enduring ability of flowers to speak metaphorically - if we could only decode what they have to say.
