Book SynopsisOne of the trickiest tasks we ever face is that of working out who we really are. If we’re asked directly to describe ourselves, our minds tend to go blank. We can’t just sum ourselves up. We need prompts and suggestions and more detailed enquiries that help tease out and organise our picture of ourselves. This book is designed to help us create a psychological portrait of ourselves with the use of some far more unusual, oblique, entertaining and playful prompts. The questions are designed to help us cumulatively appreciate how rich our identities are and how complicated, beautiful and sometimes painful our experiences have been. If self-knowledge is central to a wise and fulfilled life, it is because it teaches us which of our many—often contradictory—feelings and plans we might trust, in order that we can be a little more sceptical around our first impulses and less puzzled by the ebb and flow of our moods. We can understand where some of our feelings have come from and what might be driving our convictions and our longings.

Book SynopsisThe Vital Psoas Muscle presents an in-depth look at the most important yet abused skeletal muscle in the human body. Located deep within the front hip joint and lower spine, the psoas is critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well being. Its function and importance extend beyond anatomical mechanics to the nerve complex and energy systems. Taking a uniquely holistic approach, this book explores how the psoas affects the health of the body, mind, and spirit: Physically, as the only muscle that connects the upper and lower body Emotionally, as a messenger to and from the brain and a vessel of deeply rooted feelings Spiritually, as an integrator within the root of the lower chakras, subtly affecting the flow of life energy throughout the body Understanding and working with the psoas can help: Alleviate lower back pain Strengthen the core Correct posture Reduce trauma Open energy channels No matter our level of fitness or flexibility, how we use the psoas and take care of it is crucial to our life experience. With detailed illustrations and key stretching and strengthening exercises, including complete chapters on the role of the psoas in Pilates and yoga, The Vital Psoas shows readers how to release this muscle to create balance, harmony, and freedom of movement.Trade Review"This book has enlightened and assisted me in my own personal and professional evolutionary process, and I feel that any reader, after taking this journey with the author, will be able to add a layer of knowledge and enlightenment on their own path to a better understanding of optimal health and function." --Gary Mascilak, D.C., P.T., C.S.C.STable of ContentsAnatomy and Biomechanics of the Psoas Area, Maintaining A Healthy Psoas, The Strain of Lower Back Pain, The Psoas and Pilates, The Connections, When the Psoas Strikes Back, What Do We Know?, The Psoas and Chakra 1 "Kinesthetic Balance", The Psoas and Chakra 2 "Flow Like Water", The Psoas and Chakra 3 "Function Meets Breath"

Book SynopsisIn the past and in present-day indigenous traditions, women have known that the womb houses the greatest power a woman possesses: the power to create on all levels. Utilised in the process of giving birth, this power of creation can, also, be tapped in the birth of projects, careers, personal healing, spirituality and relationships. However, because the womb stores the energetic imprint of every intimate encounter - loving or not - the creative voice of the womb is often muffled or absent altogether, affecting the emotional, mental and spiritual health of women and their relationships. Drawing on sacred traditions from ancient India, Tibet, Egypt, Gnostic Christianity and Judaism, the practice of womb wisdom empowers women to become aware of the intuitive voice of the womb outside of pregnancy and the moon cycle to unlock this potent inner source for creativity, birthing the new conscious children, spiritual growth and transformation not only for themselves,but, also, for their male partners. The authors include exercises to clear the past, release toxic emotions, open the womb's energetic pathways, activate the sacred sensual self, bring balance to relationships and harness creative potential. Including intimate, individual stories of women experiencing the opening of the womb, this book, also, explores the forgotten sacred sites of the womb around the world as well as how the womb's energies are crucial to birth a new civilisation in the spiritual shift of 2012. The accompanying 50-minute CD includes a soundscape to assist in the awakening of these creative forces.Trade Review“Womb Wisdom is a book that can reactivate the deep, inherent, often forgotten feminine power within us. Taking Tantra to the next level of unconditional love, appreciation, gratitude, and compassion for all beings, Womb Wisdom reveals the union of male and female through the greatest secret that women have: the womb. Woven within the pages is the intimate true-life account of how Anaiya opened the seven gates and five spirals that eventually led to the full opening of her womb. This book is a hands-on practical approach, packed with tools and ways to integrate this wisdom into your everyday lives. Womb Wisdom is a vital key to dissolving the problems in modern-day relationships and to entering the mystical chamber of the heart in union with the womb, in relationship. Women and men together as one!” * Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy *“Padma and Anaiya Aon Prakasha have written a beautiful book that teaches us how to listen to the ancient, creative messages hidden deep within the cyclical powers of the feminine soul. Womb Wisdom is a gift of reawakening at this crucial time of great shift upon our planet.” * Linda Star Wolf, author of Shamanic Breathwork: Journeying Beyond the Limits of the Self *“Womb Wisdom speaks to the soul of all women, revealing ancient teachings that every girl should receive prior to her emergence into womanhood. Through beautiful poetic writing, the authors describe how the womb not only births children but also a woman’s spiritual potential, personal healing, and the ability to relate at the deepest level of intimacy. Offering powerful healing meditations, this is an essential read.” * Christine Page, M.D., international speaker and author of 2012 and the Galactic Center: Return of th *“Womb Wisdom activates the spiritual knowledge of the sacred union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine within, catalyzing the birth of a harmonious and evolved consciousness. Through the body-based portal of the womb the reader is provided an invaluable opportunity to integrate shadow and light, access the voice of inner guidance, and emerge anew into divine wholeness.” * Danielle Rama Hoffman, author of The Temples of Light *“Womb Wisdom brings to the reader and world the hidden (but not secret) power of women, and in particular the womb. Not only is it a profoundly healing read, but it is a delightful read. The authors point to how we “hold the power to weave ourselves into the web of life” and give us the means to do so. This book offers ancient ways to heal the places within and without where we feel separate and divided. The womb, this book shows, holds wisdom for us all.” * Julie Tallard Johnson, author of Wheel of Initiation *Table of Contents Preface by Padma Aon Prakasha Preface by Anaiya Aon Prakasha Introduction Part One The First Spiral 1 Accessing and Healing Stored Unconscious Emotions Melting the Masks Womb Connection through the Moon Time Womb Connection through True Sexual Expression Healing the Broken Connections 2 The Importance of Right Relationships Keeping Your Boundaries Intact The Womb Mandala Releasing Sexual Energy from the Past Clearing the Heart Arc Line Balancing the Masculine and Feminine Aspects of Self The Never-Ending Spiral The Commitment Part Two The Second Spiral 3 The Flowering Womb Sensing from the Heart of the Womb The Voice of the Womb The Pulse of the Womb The Flow of the Womb 4 The Power of the Womb Dying into the Vortex of the Womb The Primal Force of the Womb The Birthing of Life and True Knowledge The Vitality of the Open Womb Breakthrough 5 Restoring the Sacredness of the Womb Listening to the Voice Within Naming the Womb The Placenta: Our First Cord of Connection Healing Our First Cord of Connection Part Three The Third Spiral 6 The Womb of All Attraction The Pathway through the Shadow Self The Meeting of Light and Dark The Open Womb The Seven Gates to the Grail Womb The Two Rivers Beginning the Journey Protecting the Open Womb The Manifestation of a New World through Passion and Detachment 7 The Web of Life The Connecting of Intuitive Songlines Gaia: Womb of the World and Gateway to the Divine A Mirror: Life in the Womb/Life in the World Birthing into Spirit Living From the Womb-Heart Complete Immersion: The Bridge to Full Empowerment The Importance of Gratitude and Beauty Part Four The Womb of Gaia and Its Guardians 8 Transcending the Self The Mystic’s Path Sacred Relationship The Voice of the First Woman Surrendering Into Nothingness The Fullness of Woman The Value of Conscious Union Connection as Protection Biological Changes and the Healing of the Womb The Womb of the World 9 Gateways to the Womb of the World Sacred Sites Across the Globe Vaishno Devi, India Avebury, England Rennes-le-Château, France The Church of Saint Sulpice, Paris, France The Central Coast of Australia Teotihuacan, Mexico Moray, Peru Isis Pyramid, Giza Plateau, Egypt Part Five Infinite Spaciousness 10 Pure Freedom and Continuous Expansion The Next Octave of Evolution The Interconnection of All of Life The Black Hole Creating through the Black Light Incubation/Germination Resurgence and Resurrection Darkness Healing The Black Sun 11 Birthing Out from the Womb The Beginning of Nothing The Ego Dies in the Womb The Rebirth of the Innocent A New Light Arising Galactic Womb Alignment Resurrection of Self in the Galactic Center 12 The End of the Game The State of Adulthood Attaining Self-Responsibility Shifting Into Awareness The Dissolution of Self The Idea of You Appendix Frequently Asked Questions Resources About the Womb Healings About the Retreats Acknowledgments Index

Book SynopsisIn modern maternity systems one in four women have their labour induced. Why Induction Matters provides a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to this common intervention. The induction process is explained in detail, and reasons for offering induction are discussed. Options related to inducing labour or choosing to wait are explored, and women’s experiences are included throughout. The book aims to help parents make their own informed decisions about induction of labour.Trade Review"Induction of labour has become an epidemic. About 70% of inductions are for pregnancy lasting beyond a specified length of time. The others are for clinical reasons. The book which I recommend most highly to all the couples I teach KGHypnobirthing (after The Hypnobirthing Book of course!) is Why Induction Matters by Rachel Reed. About 85% of babies arrive after 40 weeks and we think that the average length of pregnancy is about 41 to 41.5 weeks so the vast majority of pregnancy women, probably almost all pregnant women, are subjected to pressure from 40 weeks or even earlier to agree to induction of labour. The repercussions of induction, which includes a sweep, are profound and many women afterwards will say, 'If only I had known, I would never have agreed'. This book is easy to read, quite short, and gives all the research and statistics that were available at the time of writing for all the various reasons why induction might be proposed, for example ‘older mothers’, IVF pregnancies, breech babies, twins, etc. etc. etc. When you are earlier in your pregnancy it is difficult to understand the degree of stress that will be heaped on you later in your pregnancy in connection with induction of labour. This book will give you the facts to withstand the emotional pressure when you reach week 40. The only figure that is missing is the MBRRACE information that stillbirth reduces after 42 weeks. It is helpful to know this too. This is the most important book for a pregnant woman. Get it. Read it. You need it!" -- Katharine Graves * Katharine Graves, KGHypnobirthing *

Book SynopsisThis book draws on Lee's own notes, letters, diaries and training logs to present the full extent of his training methods. They include nutrition, aerobics, isometrics, stretching, and weight training.Trade Review"All types of knowledge ultimately leads to self-knowledge. So, therefore, these people are coming in and asking me to teach them, not so much how to defend themselves or how to do somebody in. Rather, they want to learn to express themselves through some movement, be it anger, be it determination, or whatever. So, in other words, they're paying me to show them, in combative form the art of expressing the human body." --Bruce Lee"I suggest you read this book and use it to motivate yourself to pursue whatever goals you strive for in life. Here is the record of a man who had to overcome his own obstacles in life, and who achieved success because he believed in himself. Perhaps you can use this inspiration to achieve your own success.
