North Atlantic Books,U.S. Moving from the Inside Out: 7 Principles for Ease
Book SynopsisSeven powerful principles for better, more easeful movement--a Feldenkrais approach.More often than not, we move through life focused on results or where we''re going, rarely paying attention to how we move until we experience pain or need to learn a new skill or perform at an elite level. But movement isn''t just about getting things done or getting from here to there: at its essence, it''s an integration of thinking, sensing, and feeling with action such that to change one part changes the whole.This book is written for those times when we don''t need quick fixes, bandaids, or shortcuts to solve an immediate problem, but can instead dedicate time and attention to explore, laying the foundation to become experts in our own body and movement patterns for long-lasting positive growth. Moving from the Inside Out shows us how to resolve complex movement issues, balance stability and instability, increase power and precision, and explore our own movement using innate learning strategies.Written for practitioners, movement therapists, and somatic teachers and students, the curious athlete or casual learner will also find much to gain in learning the practical and accessible fundamentals of movement. Authors Lesley McLennan and Julie Peck introduce seven core principles that address:The dynamic balance between instability and stabilityHow to move with ease and graceThe secrets of flexibility and support embedded in every musculo-skeletal systemHow anxiety and curiosity shape our individual developmental sequenceHow qualities of movement are clues for your investigation The special role of intra-abdominal pressure in our physical and emotional worldsHow moving and learning are entwined

Greenleaf Book Group LLC Cracking the Stress Secret: How to Turn Pressure
Book SynopsisA guide to why stress isn't a bad thing and how to turn it into strength. While those seeking advice on health and wellness are commonly told to reduce or eliminate stress in their lives, Cracking the Stress Secret takes a different stance. In this book, author, speaker, and chiropractor Amir Rashidian explains that striving to accomplish goals and improve ourselves inherently comes along with obstacles and stress, and so it's unrealistic-even undesirable-to cut stress from our lives. How much we achieve depends on how much stress we can safely handle. In fact, stress can become a natural source of fuel for success. Geared toward professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has a busy daily life but also has big aspirations, Cracking the Stress Secret demonstrates how health comes from the inside out and why it's best to intentionally and gradually increase (not decrease) stress to improve adaptability and resilience. Dr. Rashidian provides ten steps that readers can use to prepare themselves physically, biochemically, and psychologically for whatever pressures life might throw at them. Using compelling stories from his life and practice and drawing from his decades of experience in studying the human body's response to stress, Dr. Rashidian illustrates how readers can learn and adapt during stressful times, overcoming the challenges they face and, through the process, becoming better, stronger, and happier.

A book to keep on your shelf and return to whenever you need more insight and guidance into greater awareness and understanding of the unique delights of the lived experience that are on offer to you.” * Judy Piatkus, publishing entrepreneur and author of Ahead of Her Time *“The Healing Power of Pleasure is a book of immense scope, a comprehensive and masterful reminder that no matter the complexities of modern life and no matter what life throws at us, the capacity for great joy resides at the centre of our being and can be accessed by all. This is an important book, a celebration of the simple life, as we learn to listen to and honour the deepest wisdom of our souls, rediscover the joys of living sensually, and become one with the magic of the natural world around us. Julia Hollenbery takes us on an important journey that is both personal and universal and deserves to be richly savoured and absorbed.” * Clare Martin, psychological astrologer and teacher, patron of the faculty of Astrological Studies, a *“What a pleasure to journey through Julia’s profound and healing book. She offers a rich and enjoyable feast of wisdom and practical suggestions. The depth and authenticity of her sharing is both moving and inspiring, and her suggested practices are life changing. To the very end I felt captivated, challenged, and liberated. This is without doubt a must-read book that could change your life and powerfully enhance your capacity to experience pleasure and embodiment in the world.” * Lynne Sedgmore, CBE, author of Crone Times and Healing Through the Goddess *“I found Julia’s exploration of pleasure and deliciousness so powerful. She looks at our society’s present and past tendency to overlook the realities of life, to get lost in ego and need. As Julia writes, ‘The modern perspective on life is often divisive, emphasizing analysis, cause or effect, compare and contrast.’ She orients the reader to the ‘messiness’ of our life and explores how we can shift our orientation from conditioning and fear to spontaneity and pleasure, to appreciate the ‘mess’ we are in and live life to the fullest. I so appreciated her writing and can highly recommend it!” * Franklyn Sills, cofounder of the Karuna Institute and author of The Polarity Process, Being and Beco *“This book is a doorway to an inner world, allowing us to enter a new adventure while still very much being fully in the body and in the creative magical mystery of life.” * Steve Nobel, spiritual coach, founder of Soul Matrix Healing, and author of The Enlightenment of Wor *“A helpful handbook toward a new birthing in our hearts, encouraging us to savour the delights to be found within a lifetime in the material world. It also serves as an introduction to discovering the deeper and less visible dimensions of life within the rapidly changing context for our lives today. This is a journey of our time.” * Janice Dolley, author of Awakening to a New Reality and coauthor of The Quest *“Julia has created a meaningful and moving exploration of joy and pleasure at a time when the world needs the uplift of this wisdom. A courageous and stimulating book.” * Malcolm Stern, psychotherapist, cofounder of Alternatives,and author of Slay Your Dragons with Compa *“Julia’s call to inhabit our bodies fully, to become aware of and attend to the delight inherent in every moment, speaks to the deepest sense of ourselves. She shows us a way of being in the world that is nothing short of revolutionary.” * Alison Jones, publisher and host of The Extraordinary Business Book Club *“Very personal, individual, and readable in its fluency, this book is filled with information and ideas gathered from readings, observations, thoughts, experiences, and imagination, richly and wisely put together.” * Maggie McKenzie, director of the Spectrum Centre for Humanistic Psychotherapy *"A text that aims to break deep cultural barriers that hinder authentic passionate and pleasurable living. It focuses on the God within that is interconnected with our human relationship and our relationship with animate and inanimate objects. It is a scream to put an end to demonizing physical and emotional pleasure. The text celebrates the masculine and feminine principles of life as well as the intersection of the sacred and the profane while tapping into some of life’s scientific and intuitive principles for good health." * Reedsy Discovery *"After diagnosing various features of what the author calls messy modernity and our resulting quality-of-life, she asserts that magic is still possible and that we can rediscover the innate joy of being. The major part of the book is devoted to what she calls seven medicines for modern times: slowing down, embodying, deepening, relating, sensing, empowering, and aliveness - each with corresponding practices. In this way the reader takes a journey into more intentional, aware, mindful and joyful living while listening to and reconnecting with the body. Relationships play a very important role, while pleasure is reframed in a positive fashion that goes beyond our conditioning. The book is a real treasure trove of reflections and practices that can enrich our lives and those close to us in the dance of life." * David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer *Table of ContentsForeword by Nick Williams Welcome Part 1 MESS -- Where We Find Ourselves Messy Modernity The Three Levels of Mess Part 2 MAGIC -- The Beauty That Is Possible Unmagical Modernity Part 3 MEDICINE -- Seven Medicines for Modern Times 1.
