Little, Brown & Company A Hole in the World: Finding Hope in Rituals of
Book SynopsisWhen Amanda Held Opelt suffered a season of loss-including three miscarriages and the unexpected death of her sister, New York Times bestselling writer Rachel Held Evans-she was confronted with sorrow she didn't know to how face. Opelt struggled to process her grief and accept the reality of the pain in the world. She also wrestled with some unexpectedly difficult questions: What does it mean to truly grieve and to grieve well? Why is it so hard to move on? Why didn't my faith prepare me for this kind of pain? And what am I supposed to do now?Her search for answers led her to discover that generations past embraced rituals that served as vessels for pain and aided in the process of grieving and healing. Today, many of these traditions have been lost as religious practice declines, cultures amalgamate, death is sanitized, and pain is averted. In this raw and authentic memoir of bereavement, Opelt explores the history of human grief practices and how previous generations have journeyed through periods of suffering. She explores grief rituals and customs from various cultures, including:- the Irish tradition of keening, or wailing in grief, which teaches her that healing can only begin when we dive headfirst into our grief- the Victorian tradition of post-mortem photographs and how we struggle to recall a loved one as they were- the Jewish tradition of sitting shiva, which reminds her to rest in the strength of her community even when God feels absent- the tradition of mourning clothing, which set the bereaved apart in society for a time, allowing them space to honour their griefAs Opelt explores each bereavement practice, it gives her a framework for processing her own pain. She shares how, in spite of her doubt and anger, God met her in the midst of sorrow and grieved along with her, and shows that when we carefully and honestly attend to our losses, we are able to expand our capacity for love, faith, and healing.

Thornapple Press Nonmonogamy and Happiness: A More Than Two
Book SynopsisAn exploration of the search for meaning in nonmonogamous relationships. The love story we’re all familiar with ends with “ … and they lived happily ever after.” But how often do we hear a nonmonogamous love story with that ending? In all kinds of contexts, nonmonogamous happiness is erased. From the ubiquitous “friend who tried it once and it didn’t end well” to Dan Savage’s long-term jokes about never being invited to a polyamorous third wedding anniversary, we are repeatedly assured that nonmonogamy leads to misery. In “real” love, we are taught to expect the opposite: to expect happiness. When we want to ask if someone’s relationship is going well, we ask if they are “happy with” their partner. We might even ask whether their partner makes them happy. But what does love have to do with happiness? Doesn’t love have space to accommodate the full range of emotional experience? Carrie Jenkins thinks it does, or at least it can. She draws connections between the expectation that love will make us happy and the undue focus on positive emotions to the exclusion of “negative” ones. She argues that love—monogamous or otherwise—might better aim at being eudaimonic than at being happy, and that we have a better chance of achieving this if we are able to make relationship choices free from the prejudices and distortions that lead to an unduly rosy view of monogamy and an unduly miserable picture of the alternatives.Trade ReviewIn Nonmonogamy and Happiness, Carrie Jenkins writes about love in a way that is both extraordinarily sophisticated and as intimate as a conversation with an old friend. Her writing never fails to make me feel like a smarter, calmer, more generous person—both in and out of love." —Mandy Len Catron, author of How to Fall in Love with Anyone: A Memoir in EssaysTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction What’s the Point?

She has led the way in expanding public dialogues about the intersection of these very important issues with her thoughtful writing and presentations based on her groundbreaking original research. JoEllen dared to speak about a topic no one else would and has changed the way we think about sex and depression. Her work is, quite simply, invaluable." —Tristan Taormino, sex educator, host of Sex Out Loud Radio, and author of Opening Up "JoEllen Notte takes taboo subjects, sex and depression, and makes them approachable for anyone ready to take the journey. With her wit, empathy, and knowledge, JoEllen makes it safe to people to explore their deepest pleasures and their biggest fears." —Shadeen Francis, MFT “JoEllen’s work is a true gift to us all. The impact of depression and mental health on sexuality is a vitally urgent topic and JoEllen is bravely and brilliantly leading the conversation. JoEllen’s own immense intelligence is matched by her dedication to gathering the stories and data from thousands of people affected by depression. She asks bold questions, gathers compelling research and then offers us effective strategies and resources. I know I am among a legion of sex educators, therapists and wellness professionals ready and eager to recommend JoEllen’s upcoming book to our audiences. Her writing is relevant for all of us, but is revolutionary for the millions of us that both struggle with mental wellness and want a vibrant healthy sexuality. Our interview with JoEllen has emerged as one of our most popular and provocative episodes. We still receive emails about it years later, revealing the need and hunger for her work.” —Chris Maxwell Rose, sex educator at PleasureMechanics.com “JoEllen Notte is one of my favorite sex ed writers. I read what she has to say because not only does she tackle two of the most sensitive topics in our culture - sex and depression - but Ms. Notte informs and educates readers using her delicious wit. This makes the tough parts accessible; not easy to do with an often challenging subject. I appreciate the tips, knowledge, and advice she shares and one can easily see she is an expert on the topic.” —Lanae St. John, sexologist, author of Raising Sex Smart Kids, TheMamaSutra.net “JoEllen is making it possible to talk and think about sex and depression in new ways.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Heal Your Ancestral Roots: Release the Family
Book SynopsisMany people find themselves feeling stuck, unable to reach their goals. The same problems keep showing up in jobs and relationships no matter how much they try to make changes and overcome obstacles. What if the patterns that repeat in your life and relationships didn’t originate with you? The source of your challenges could be rooted in your family energy field--and the problematic patterns that arise in your life could be ancestral trauma calling out to be healed. Presenting a guide to releasing the family patterns that hold you back, Anuradha Dayal-Gulati, an energy practitioner specializing in ancestral and emotional healing, explores the energetic principles that govern your family lineage and the many ways your ancestral field can support you as well as how it can hold you captive. She explains how the experiences and wounds of your parents or grandparents as well as more distant ancestors can affect you and how, sometimes, themes reappear in a family for several generations in a row--patterns of financial distress, sibling rivalry, divorce, or conversely long happy marriages, good health, and good humour. The author provides exercises and tools--such as journal practices, visualizations, meditations, and mind mapping--that can help you recognize and release negative family patterns, explaining how you don’t have to know anything about your ancestors to bring about healing. She shares her own healing journey and her experience with family constellation therapy and explores in depth the use of flower essences to transform emotions and release generational trauma. She discusses the importance of honoring your ancestors, sharing suggestions about altar creation, prayers, and the Vedic ritual of Tarpanam. Teaching you how to recognize the patterns that manifest in your daily experiences, this guide shows how, by healing your ancestral roots, you can lift the unconscious, invisible barriers that keep you from creating the life you want.Trade Review“Anuradha Dayal-Gulati, Ph.D., has written a thoroughly engaging guide to gaining more contentment, fulfillment, and harmony in life. This gem of a book will make an important contribution to the emergence of new energy-based therapies. It is rare to find a guide to the gifts of the Earth, ancestors, and spirit that is so highly informative and heartfully lyrical.” * Dan Cohen, Ph.D., family constellation facilitator and author of I Carry Your Heart in My Heart: Fam *“Anu’s clear, concise, down-to-earth writing style and easy-tofollow exercises make her book one of the best for beginners, clients, and practitioners alike. Sharing her step-by-step process, she shows you how to find peace and contentment in your life by connecting to yourself, to your family energy field, to the Earth, and ultimately to the Source of all that is. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.” * Susan Ulfelder, ND, LMT, BCPP, RDH, traditional naturopath, doctor of integrative medicine, and foun *“This book seeks to outline an alternative path forward—one that involves healing one’s roots and forging a new path. To accomplish this, the book introduces two crucial concepts— family energy fields and flower essences—that complement familiar techniques to address family trauma, like therapy and essential oils.” * Foreword Reviews *“Heal Your Ancestral Roots offers a thought-provoking option for dealing with family issues, creating a path to a more fulfilling life.” * BlueInk Review *“A compelling, spirited guide that aims to help readers understand who they come from.” * Kirkus Reviews *"In this compassionate entry, personal development coach Dayal-Gulati charts a path for readers to heal from ancestral trauma. This entry takes a nuanced approach to addressing family suffering, and readers will find her advice actionable and cathartic. Dayal-Gulati’s wisdom will easily attract the spiritually inclined." * Publisher's Weekly *"This is an enlightening guide for anyone looking to uncover how family history and intergenerational suffering impact our lives today. I was grateful to learn about energy medicine through flower essences, family constellations, rituals, and ceremonies. Awareness is often a first step toward action. Dayal-Gulati offers a non-traditional path toward healing, and it requires openness to be honest and vulnerable. Healing family trauma requires deep internal work over time, and I am thankful for the lessons shared in this book." * Maileen Hamto, San Francisco Book Review *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction: Living Life in Full BloomDo You Have the Power to Change Anything?

Your life is full of value."?Living in a space that feels in between is difficult, especially if it feels like it?s lasting forever.
