Book SynopsisIf life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be that this is heaven - this physical life we are living here on Earth? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like anything but heaven. But what if we understood how powerful we are - that we are powerful enough to mould both our internal and our external reality?Anita Moorjani is convinced we can do exactly that. The process, she explains, requires dismantling the many cultural myths mistaken for indisputable truths. Beliefs such as 'We get what we deserve', 'Loving ourselves is selfish' and 'Coincidences are just that - coincidences', are ingrained within us from birth, pervasive and influential, leading to generations of misguidance.Following her near-death experience, Moorjani began to embody truths she learned in the other realm, discovering that letting go of these outmoded myths allowed her to experience heaven not as a physical place but as a state of mind, right here and right now. In this examination of our common myths, she shares stories and examples from her own life, revealing the lies beneath the surface of what she was taught and absorbed. By freeing ourselves from these falsehoods, Moorjani asserts, we can leave fear, heartache and self-imposed boundaries behind and insteadlive lives full of purpose and joy.

Book Synopsis'As I worked through the chapters, I felt as if I were picking up pieces of myself again. An incredible book!' Kelechi Okafor'I wish I could gift every woman this book!' Anna Mathur'Wonderful, warm and engaging.' Hollie de CruzWhether your birth plan got thrown out of the window or the birth was straightforward on paper, childbirth and early parenthood are some of the most transformational experiences you can ever undertake, and yet so often we aren't afforded the time and space to reflect and reframe those experiences. The pressure to adjust, to be ok, to ignore any difficult emotions and to get on with it can be stifling. The Birth Debrief is here to help. In her work as a midwife specialising in post-partum recovery and care, Illiyin facilitates birth debriefs, seeking to empower women and birthing people of all backgrounds to take control of their experiences, feel seen and centred in their pregnancies and births, normalising conversations around birth trauma and healing and examining the nuances that are associated with it. Time and time again, it is the lack of advocacy, autonomy, control or consent, rather than the physical aspect of the birth that lingers and informs parenthood. The Birth Debrief will offer practical solutions to navigating pregnancy and transitioning into postpartum life, well beyond those first six weeks.Trade ReviewIlliyin's writing disrupts the healthcare industry's monotonous narrative around birthing. This book is about self-advocacy, about understanding yourself and healing. As I worked through the chapters, I felt as if I were picking up pieces of myself again. An incredible book! * Kelechi Okafor, Actor, Director and Author *The Birth Debrief validates and untangles feelings around labour and birth in the most empowering and supportive way. Whether someone is experiencing birth trauma, wants to equip themselves to support a loved one, or wishes to process any feelings around giving or witnessing birth, this book is a much needed map of guidance. Illiyin's experienced and compassionate words will change the landscape of how people approach and process their birthing journeys. I wish I could gift every woman this book! * Anna Mathur, Psychotherapist and Author *Wonderful, warm and engaging. * Hollie de Cruz, author of Your Baby, Your Birth *This is the book that I have been looking for over my past two decades in birth work. Illyin holds you in this book in the same way that she holds you when you are in a session with her. Warmth, compassion seeps from the pages. Everything is broken down simply, no easy task for what can be a complex process. I cannot wait for the birthworkers that I train to read this. This is the missing piece for birthworkers and activists. * Mars Lord, Life Coach, Educator and Reproductive Justice Activist *A gift for pregnant and post-partum women everywhere. * Clare Bourne, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist *This book is absolutely incredible.

Book Synopsis"Brian is one of the best at helping people create a world-class blueprint for their life - not just goals but sustainable success" Anthony Robbins Goal setting is a natural function of the brain. Every decision is in effect a goal, which triggers a subconscious process that transforms the decision into an action and onto a result.

This was the burning question that inspired Brian Mayne to develop his unique Goal Mapping system. The Goal Mapping system fuses eastern and western techniques to create a holistic method to help achieve success. The system uses both left and right brain, bringing words, pictures and symbols together to connect the conscious to the sub-conscious, in a way that your subconscious accepts your goals as the dominant command to be pursued. The Goal Mapping system utilises 7 steps that stimulate whole brain activity to harness intrinsic aspects necessary for any kind of conscious, intended success. The system creates a personalised goal map, combining words and pictures that becomes your blueprint for future success.

Book SynopsisAura-Soma is an innovative approach to soul therapy that relies on bottles of dual-colored liquids, known as Equilibrium bottles, that incorporate plant extracts, essential oils, and the energies and extracts of precious and semiprecious stones. The energetic properties found in the liquids interact with the individual’s aura to help support balance in the body, mind, and spirit. In The Aura-Soma Sourcebookauthors Mike Booth and Carol McKnight detail the origins, holistic understanding, and consciousness-mirroring effects of each of the 104 equilibrium combinations. The practice of Aura-Soma is initially based on a person’s selection of four Equilibrium bottles. The choice of bottles and the sequence in which they are chosen provide keys to understanding past difficulties and mirror the need and potential for growth in one’s consciousness. The book includes full-color spreads that juxtapose the colors of the bottle with dramatic photographs that depict the energetic essence of each bottle and that evoke the healing energy of the natural environment. The authors also explain where to apply the essences, which chakra in the subtle anatomy will be affected, and what areas of personal growth can be addressed.Trade Review"This book is of an epic scale, and the attention to detail alone is astounding." * Marie Black, LAYoga, Oct 2006 *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1.

Whether you choose to follow some of the advice or all, this is the perfect guide for living a more fulfilled, healthy and joyful life.Trade ReviewI commend this book to everyone of all ages, and let us all age joyfully! * Dame Judi Dench *This is an outstanding book. It carries a clear message and expresses a clear philosophy, namely that we need to transform the way we think about living longer. Science has now made clear that even though there is a process called ageing, a normal biological process which does have some effects, these effects are relatively insignificant until the late nineties. Most of the problems people face are preventable and remediable, and the book not only explains this but gives advice, insight and encouragement. It speaks from the heart, from an author who has knowledge and experience. It is a manifesto for living better longer. * Sir Muir Gray, CBE, FRCPSGlas, FCLIP, Professor and Consultant in Public Health, Oxford University; author of Sod 70!; first Chief Knowledge Officer for the NHS and creator of NHS Choices *A fun and savvy guide to putting more life in your years. * Carl Honoré, writer and broadcaster; author of In Praise of Slow and Bolder: Making the Most of our Longer Lives *As a society, we should be celebrating the extraordinary gift of longer life that we have been given by the last century's advances in public health, nutrition and medicine. But instead, our ageing population is all too often presented as a problem rather than a gift, and ageist stereotypes and age discrimination are everywhere - in our media, our workplaces, our towns, and in our own worries and attitudes about growing old. How to Age Joyfully is a welcome antidote to this fearful, negative view of ageing, and a rich resource of ideas and evidence for how to enjoy your own later life. * Catherine Foot, Director of Evidence, Centre for Ageing Better *Full of wit, wisdom - and hope! * Gyles Brandreth, writer and broadcaster *Knowing how passionate Maggy is about having a positive approach to ageing, it is no surprise to me that her book is bursting full of inspiration and suggestions on how to do just that. Her tips align with Open Age's mission and actions for increasing the well-being and social connectedness of our members. It is evidence not only of her passion, but also her generosity, that Open Age will benefit from sales, allowing us to carry on helping many more people to age joyfully. Thank you, Maggy. * Iain Cassidy, CEO, Open Age *Maggy has written so passionately about her own experience of discovering the joys and benefits of dance that I feel she can't fail to convince others. She has brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our dance group and her book shows very clearly and forcefully that there is a whole new world out there awaiting the older dancer - and all of us. * Barbara Berkeley-Hill, Chair, Sage Dance Company *Old age is being redefined and this is an essential book for today's new world. It is full of positive actions to maximise enjoyment of our added years in this amazing period of life. * Joyce Williams MBE FCSP, aka blogger GrandmaWilliams.com *We all know that people today can expect to live healthily and productively for longer than ever before. This is fact. Irrefutable. But, what is less clear is what we are all to do with this extra time. As the concept of retirement is increasingly eroded, our society is in desperate need of new life models, new examples of what is possible. We need new champions to help shape a new world, where people can work, play, innovate, inspire, lead and create - throughout life, regardless of age. Maggy is such a champion. Read her book and see why. * Dr Jonathan Collie, co-founder of The Age of No Retirement *We are all ageing. This motivating and practical book is a valuable, easy-to-read guide on what we need to do to help us age well and make the most of our lives. As a patron of Open Age, I'm delighted that a share of Maggy's royalties will benefit this remarkable charity. * Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive, International Longevity Centre UK; member of the House of Lords since 2000 and co-chair of several All-Party Parliamentary Groups on ageing; Director General of Age Concern England from 1987–2000 *We hear so much about the burdens of an ageing society that we seem to have talked ourselves into thinking of rising life expectancy as a bad thing. In this book, Maggy Pigott reminds us how lucky we are to live at such a time and how to add joy to all the other emotions as we navigate those later years. * Alan Johnson, former Labour politician and Cabinet Minister, including Secretary of State for Health (2007–2009); award-winning author; patron of Open Age *
