Book Synopsis"This book is vital to those with fibromyalgia their families, friends and employers." - Pam Stewart MBE, Fibromyalgia Association UK chairA difficult condition to diagnose, fibromyalgia is characterised by pain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. It has a plethora of symptoms including fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive and bowel problems and headaches, among many others. The good news is that your condition can improve, and this book is designed to help. Based on Christine Craggs Hinton's own experience of managing the disease, it uses effective strategies to reduce pain, boost energy levels and improve sleep. It explains the link between fibromyalgia, diet and the digestive system, and gives clear and manageable guidance on the benefit of low-impact aerobic exercise, as well as illustrated advice on maintaining good posture in daily activities. There is discussion of the latest research, including the possibility of genetic causes of fibromyalgia, and a clear explanation of the difference between fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. If you arm yourself with knowledge - and with the impetus and encouragement that brings - your condition will, in all probability, improve steadily and you will find that life once more becomes rewarding and enjoyable.Trade ReviewWe are delighted that Sheldon Press is building on the work Christine produced as a result of her experiences with fibromyalgia. Keeping people informed is vital if they are to find effective solutions. * Pam Stewart MBE, former Chair of Fibromyalgia Association UK *

Book SynopsisParents whose adult children have cut off contact wonder: How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? What happened to my loving child? Over time, holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of grandchildren may pass in silence. Anguish may turn into anger. While time, in and of itself, does not necessarily heal, actions do, and while every estrangement includes situation-specific variables, there are practical, effective, and universal techniques for understanding and healing these not-uncommon breaches. Psychotherapist Tina Gilbertson has developed these techniques and tools over years of face-to-face and online work with parents, who have found her strategies transformative and even life-changing. Gilbertson cuts through the blame, shame, and guilt on both sides of the broken relationship. Parents will feel heard and understood but also challenged '' and guided '' to reclaim their role as ''tone setter'' and grow psychologically. Exercises, examples, and sample scripts empower parents who have felt powerless. Gilbertson shows that reconciliation is a step-by-step process, but the effort is well worth it. It is never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds.

Book SynopsisBringing Up Bébé meets Last Child in the Woods in this “fascinating exploration of the importance of the outdoors to childhood development” (Kirkus Reviews) from a Swedish-American mother who sets out to discover if the nature-centric parenting philosophy of her native Scandinavia holds the key to healthier, happier lives for her American children.Could the Scandinavian philosophy of “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” hold the key to happier, healthier lives for American children? When Swedish-born Linda Åkeson McGurk moved to Indiana, she quickly learned that the nature-centric parenting philosophies of her native Scandinavia were not the norm. In Sweden, children play outdoors year-round, regardless of the weather, and letting babies nap outside in freezing temperatures is common and recommended by physicians. Preschoolers spend their days climbing trees, catcTrade Review“Born and raised in Sweden with an ingrained appreciation for the outdoors, McGurk feels out of step with American culture when she tries to reproduce that childhood for her children in Indiana. Amusing interactions, such as one with a concerned motorist who passes her pushing her daughter in a stroller and walking her dog in midwinter, pepper the story….McGurk’s work will be encouraging to like-minded parents who feel American culture excessively emphasizes risk avoidance.” —Publishers Weekly "The author expertly combines personal memories of her childhood and that of her children with scientific data and research to show the significant disparities in the way children interact with nature in [the U.S. and Sweden]... A fascinating exploration of the importance of the outdoors to childhood development." —Kirkus Reviews "Linda McGurk offers a perfect antidote to the hyper-vigilant, extra-electrified, standardized-tested, house-arrested, 21st-century childhood and the experts who push it. Practical and wise, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather proves just that, and much more.” —Richard Louv, bestselling author of LAST CHILD IN THE WOODS and VITAMIN N “There’s nothing I love more than an author who gives parents a reason to feel optimistic, instead of telling us how we’re ruining our kids forever by (fill in the blank with something you used to do without thinking twice). Linda Akeson McGurk is that optimism-granter. Plus, she’s funny. What a great package!” —Lenore Skenazy, author of FREE RANGE KIDS "What an enjoyable romp through all the pleasures, benefits, and joy that free play and nature offer! Swedish-born McGurk guides the reader through all the delights that a varied outdoor life can afford. The book is packed with personal anecdotes and scientific studies, which provide the reader with nuanced insights into the potentials of open-air life in the most beautiful way. Everyone all over the world can gain something from the valuable wisdom found in this book. As a strong supporter of free play and its importance for children's well-being, I highly recommend this book." —Iben Dissing Sandahl, author of PLAY THE DANISH WAY and THE DANISH WAY OF PARENTING "Children need fresh air, ample time to play, and freedom to take risks—something other cultures sometimes seem to understand far better than we do. In There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather, Linda Akeson McGurk takes us inside the fascinating world of Scandinavian parenting with its refreshing and essential perspective on childhood. This is a heartfelt manifesto on the importance of the sort of unhurried, nature-rich childhood that every American child deserves." —Christine Gross-Loh, author of THE PATH "Smart, friendly and Swedish. Packed with sane ideas that will get your children outside, independent, and filled with the joy of living. This book will open your eyes—or maybe tempt you to move to Sweden. Now: Go outside and play!" —Heather Shumaker, author of IT'S OK NOT TO SHARE and IT'S OK TO GO UP THE SLIDE "I could not put this book down! Linda McGurk not only offers a fresh perspective about parenting and outdoor play from a Scandinavian viewpoint, but she is a fabulous storyteller and will hook you on the first page.” —Angela Hanscom, author of BALANCED AND BAREFOOT "If There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather doesn’t make you want to move to Scandinavia, it will at least make you pledge to bring more Scandinavian habits into your life. With abundant warmth, humor, and important research, Linda Akeson McGurk makes the case for getting your family out into nature, no matter the season, and shares invaluable tips for enjoying the benefits of outdoor play, even in the land of mall-walking, videogames, and relentless academic pressure." —Susan Sachs Lipman, author of FED UP WITH FRENZY "Linda McGurk's compelling book There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather compares the Swedish and U.S. historical and current cultural differences in beliefs and practices regarding young children's exposure to nature. Linda's upbringing in Sweden meant that she had an enormous amount of outdoor time as a child, much like those of us who grew up in the U.S. prior to 1980. Unfortunately, within the last 30-40 years, childhood in the U.S. no longer automatically includes extended outdoor free play. Like Linda, many in the early childhood education field are worried about the well-documented negative consequences from this lack of outdoor time. Besides the obvious physical benefits of spending time in nature, there are proven mental health benefits as well. Additionally, when children bond with nature at an early age, they develop empathetic stewardship qualities which compel them to seek to protect the environment. It is heartening to know that there are still countries like Sweden which actively advocate and culturally support children's right to extended outdoor time. Hopefully we can begin to incorporate some of Sweden's friluftsliv—a love of open air life—into our cultural identity here in the U.S." —Erin Kenny, Co-founder and director of Cedarsong Nature School, author of FOREST KINDERGARTENS

Book SynopsisIn her twenties, Esther Rutter suffered an acute mental breakdown while living in Japan. Sectioned and held in a Japanese psychiatric institution until she could be flown home under escort, her recovery only began when she took a job in the Lake District at Dove Cottage, the home of William and Dorothy Wordsworth. Like Dorothy and William before her, whose search for Dove Cottage was borne out of the dislocation they experienced during their childhood, Esther realised that she was looking for a place to feel at home, and most like herself. In their lives and writings, she discovered an approach to understanding the self as sophisticated as the psychoanalysis of Freud that followed a century later: a desire to 'see into the life of things' through personal reflection, and the belief that the experiences of ordinary people are intrinsically worthwhile and important. With their insights and creativity to guide her, and amid the beautiful landscape around Dove Cottage, she made lifelong bonds of friendship, community - and love. All Before Me is a moving and absorbing account of the struggle to know oneself on the journey into adulthood, intertwined with the stories of the Wordsworth siblings at Dove Cottage. In the beautiful hamlet of Town End, where a cultural epoch was borne that would forever shape the way we experience the world, Esther found the spirit of place that sustains and inspires, making possible all that lies before us.

Book SynopsisIn this indispensable new resource both for the home apothecary and clinical practitioners, a celebrated herbalist brings alive the elemental relationships among traditional healing practices, ecological stewardship and essential plant medicines. By honouring ancient wisdom and presenting it in an innovative way, Energetic Herbalism is a profound and practical guide to family and community care for those seeking to move beyond symptom relief and into a truly holistic framework of health. Throughout, author Kat Maier invites readers to explore their personal relationships with plants and their environs as they discover diverse models of healing. Inside Energetic Herbalism, you’ll find: The elements and patterns of Ayurvedic doshas for greater self-awareness as well as positive lifestyle choices The relationship of well-being to the seasons through the brilliant lens of Chinese Five Element Theory and how our emotional health is beautifully expressed through the Elements The roots and evolution of Vitalism, the traditional Western system of energetic medicine How to assess imbalances in the body using the elegant and intuitive vocabulary of the six tissue states, an emerging tool in Western herbalism The senses as the main tools for navigating through energetic herbalism A deep appreciation of the wisdom of indigenous peoples, which is the foundation of sacred plant traditions Through the rich herbal tradition of storytelling, Maier seamlessly blends theory and practice with her experience-tested herbal remedies and healing protocols. Maier stresses the critical message of how to address the challenge of threatened medicinal plant populations, offering practical and inspiriting methods for ensuring their survival. Many herbals boast a materia medica of more than 100 herbs, but in keeping with an emphasis on sustainable practice, Maier instead focuses in depth on 25 essential medicinal herbs that can be grown in most temperate climates and soils, including: Dandelion Ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng) Goldenseal Burdock Calendula Echinacea Goldenrod Whether you are a seasoned clinical herbalist, an herbalist-in-training or simply someone seeking to provide the best natural health care for your family, this book is a source of inspiration, insight and answers you will return to again and again.Trade Review“This amazing book almost leaves me speechless. Energetic Herbalism integrates the many different sources that flow into modern herbalism into an integrated conception and practice. Although the book is directed for the home herbalist, it is also a textbook for beginner to advanced levels, to be treasured and assimilated over many years. This is the type of book that can be written only by one who has been ruminating and practicing for decades, yet it also represents a stream of energy arising from the plants themselves, expressing themselves through Kat, in herbal wisdom. This book touches upon everything that I hold dear in herbal medicine, founded upon the real experience of Nature as a living, intelligent, spiritual being.”—Matthew Wood, MS (Herbal Medicine), founder, Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism; author of The Book of Herbal Wisdom“A beautifully written, all-encompassing guide to understanding the major healing traditions from around the world—Vitalism, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. Lest you think that this is all Kat Maier offers, let me dispel that thought. Diving deep into sacred healing traditions, Kat leads us to the plants. She enlightens with the uses, indications, and preparations of the plants she has chosen for the apothecary. Energetic Herbalism is a book you’ll return to again and again.”—Phyllis Light, author of Southern Folk Medicine“A wonderfully practical and accessible guide to energetic herbalism, filled with the wisdom and Viriditas of a Real Herbalist. Thank you, Kat!”—David Hoffmann, RH (AHG), fellow, National Institute of Medical Herbalists; principal scientist, Traditional Medicinals“I always ask my students: Do you want to be a good herbalist or a great herbalist? One of the essentials necessary to achieve a high level of herbal practice is the study of herbal energetics. In Energetic Herbalism, Kat Maier has distilled the teachings of the world’s great herbal traditions into a concise, easy to learn guide that will allow any herbalist to begin to treat each person as an individual rather than generically treating diseases, and in so doing, to truly achieve excellence."—David Winston, RH(AHG), DSc(hc), author of Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief“That Kat Maier’s book so wonderfully conveys the essence and importance of energetic herbalism is a blessing. That the book also frames our use of herbs within the larger relationships we hold with the land, the seasons, and the sacred is essential. In Energetic Herbalism, Kat doesn’t share mere uses of herbs but keen insights into establishing a deeper understanding of the patterns of health and nature.”—jim mcdonald, herbalist and founder, herbcraft.org “Kat Maier has written Energetic Herbalism with her heart forward. Beginning with her story of how she got into herbalism—a journey that became her life’s work—Kat takes on the hard task of making complex herbal systems easily understandable. She also does something that is even harder. She leads her readers to understand that plant medicine is a relationship that needs to be approached from the heart.”—Karyn Sanders, cofounder, Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine; cohost, The Herbal Highway“Energetic Herbalism provides herbalists with the essential tools and language necessary to comprehend the patterns of nature. Kat Maier’s way of conveying the ancient art of energetics in healing brings insight not only to the bodily expressions but to the innate nature of plants. This book nurtures an awareness of partnership between people and plants—it is a reverent call to sustainability. Kat’s profound teachings always leave me awestruck and entice me further into my love affair with herbs. In her book, her impassioned voice penetrates the healer’s heart.”—Mimi Hernandez, executive director, American Herbalists Guild“Kat Maier’s Energetic Herbalism is a wonderful, much-needed addition to the growing sophistication of American herbalism.”—Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Lost Language of Plants and Healing Lyme“In this beautifully written resource, Kat Maier has distilled her immense understanding of plant medicine into a captivating and comprehensive guidebook. Her extensive trainings in both the herbal energetic arts and the world of conventional medicine make her a trustworthy guide. With the skill of a practiced healer, she deftly balances the practical with the poetic, weaving together the needs of personal wellness with those of planetary health. As an herbal teacher, this is a book I would recommend. As a practicing herbalist, this is a book I will reference. And as a reader, this is a book that offers me inspiration and hope.”—Lorna Mauney-Brodek, founder and director, Herbalista“Although I have been an herbalist for forty years, I was never able to understand the concepts of Chinese or Ayurvedic energetics as applied to healing with plants. Kat Maier is the first person to make the connection clear, and I am grateful—I get it! Energetic Herbalism is a book to savor and digest slowly, and the rewards will merit the effort. I especially like the section on the energetic virtues of kitchen herbs and spices. Kat’s evocation of ‘heart space’ in which we acknowledge and revere plants as spiritual beings in physical bodies, just like ourselves, gives me hope for our future as a planet. Just getting started as an herbalist? Want to be a better herbalist? A better person? A better steward of the planet? This is the wisdom book for you.”—Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN, founder, The Abdominal Therapy Collective; author of The Urban Herbalist“Kat Maier has crafted a very necessary book for these times and the era ahead. We all come from an herbalism tradition somewhere in our lineage. Kat weaves together many of these global practices, paying attention to giving credit where it is due and honoring the sources of the wisdom she shares. Her focus on conservation and kitchen herbalism and her message that less can be more are refreshing. The distillation of a materia medica down to twenty-five mostly common yet powerful plants is one excellent example. Ultimately, this book delves into the sometimes subtle yet significant ways seasonality and energetics aid in healing, filling a niche greatly needed in the herbal community.”—Marc Williams, ethnobiologist; facilitator, Botany Every Day; executive director, Plants and Healers International“It has been such a pleasure to dig into this verdant body of work, layered in plant knowledge, folk remedies, and the rich studies of our human experience with herbs and healing. Kat Maier has crafted a beautiful, lyrical work of art. She weaves together her wealth of knowledge on herbalism through the lens of story, culture, archetypes, the medicine of place, the Celtic wheel of the year, and the always abundant kitchen apothecary. This book is chock full of applicable learnings for any novice or astute lover of the healing realms of the plant traditions. Dig in, and enjoy.”—Leah Song, Rising Appalachia“If you want to understand the wisdom and healing potential of herbalism, you have come to the right place by choosing this book. At this crucial juncture in our relationship with Nature, it is vital we learn how we can live in greater harmony. The way we nurture a respectful relationship with ourselves, society, and the planet will determine our future. The insights in Energetic Herbalism will go a long way to helping you understand the language of plants and to develop a deep relationship with their healing potential. So explore this book, awaken your senses, experience the character and personality of the plants, and you will find a whole new world of herbal harmony.”—Sebastian Pole, cofounder, Pukka Herbs and Herbal Reality“Kat Maier has skillfully crafted a book for the ages. Energetic Herbalism is a guide to building authentic plant relationships, couched in the context of ecology and energetics. This book invites the reader to connect with plant medicine in a living relationship of respect and reciprocity. Paying tribute to cultures of North America and around the globe, Kat offers insight into the traditions that have informed and molded the practice of modern herbalism. Her book weaves together energetic framework, practical application, and spiritual relationship, bringing complex teachings to life in an accessible format for the lay herbalist and clinical practitioner alike. I am excited to share this book with my students, knowing they will pass it down to their students in turn.”—Emily Ruff, director, Sage Mountain Botanical Sanctuary"Kat Maier is a genuine wise woman able to combine carefully considered scientific research with the principles of credible and insightful healing traditions, a deep ecological sensibility with real-life conservation efforts, extensive herbal experience with a personal vision rooted in a most intimate and passionate relationship with the plants. If you are looking for a great new herb book to inform and inspire you, Energetic Herbalism is one that Kiva Rose and I can recommend for sure."—Jesse Wolf Hardin, cofounder, Plant Healer Events and Publications

Book SynopsisThe New York Times bestselling guide to hormone balance that helps women of all ages achieve increased energy, resilience, vitality, and sensuality through science-based natural therapies.All too often women are told that feeling moody, asexual, tapped out, dried up, stressed out, and sleep deprived is just a part of being female. Or they’re led to believe that the answer can be found only at the bottom of a bottle of prescription pills. Dr. Sara Gottfried, a Harvard-educated physician and nationally recognized, board-certified gynecologist, refuses to accept that being a woman means feeling overwhelmed or that popping pills is the new normal. In The Hormone Cure, she shares the unique hormone-balancing program that she has used to help thousands of women reclaim wellness, verve, and optimal health.

Book SynopsisInspiring teachings, personal stories, and meditations for those near death and their caregivers, by a respected Zen teacher who has worked with the dying for over 30 years.Everyone who lives must inevitably face death.

Halifax offers stories from her personal experience as well as guided exercises and contemplations to help readers contemplate death without fear, develop a commitment to helping others, and transform suffering and resistance into courage. Topics and exercises include: Learning to see death as a rite of passage The guiding principles of bearing witness and how self-awareness can help us to relate more fully with others How to take care of ourselves when we?re taking care of others Contemplation on the universality of death How to transform pain and fear with lovingkindness Coupled with a new foreword by Frank Ostaseski, a leader in the field of death and dying palliative care, the guidance and experiences represented in Being with Dying are invaluable in supporting and instilling peace as the journey of life unfolds and inevitably reaches not only an end, but also a new beginning.
