Download or read book Mary had Stretch Marks written by Miriam Connor and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you up for a bit of honesty? Miriam Connor is a middle-aged Irish mum who is widowed and wondering where to find answers to life. This is entry-level enlightenment; her measure of a guru is whether they have fun at parties. Mary Had Stretch Marks is an ordinary and sometimes irreverent take on the truth; a story of seeking friendship that cuts through any baggage to find what is true, ‘farts and all’. “I love how raw honesty builds trust. The missing ingredient for me, in made-it-through stories, is angst. The authors’ personal angst is often shed by the time the book is written. Yet a bucketload of angst is usually the reason I picked that book up, looking for answers. I find myself searching for subtext of the person’s messy bits – not to drag them down to my level, but in the hope that there is a chance I can get up to theirs. In Mary Had Stretch Marks, I have left my angst in. “We moved to Scotland in 2006. My ex-neighbours ask me, 'What is different about you? You look really happy and peaceful.' Living close to the Findhorn Foundation, I have had the privilege of attending workshops such as Patch Adams and many more. My old neighbours notice a difference in me, and they are hungry to know my secret. I want to share what worked for me, while softening the jargon and having a laugh. I set out to write a book that would speak their language.” Mary Had Stretch Marks is a raw and honest autobiography that explores the power of honest friendship. The first half of the book is about Miriam and her husband’s journey through his diagnosis of cancer. The second half is her continuing search to discern truth. Miriam believes that honest, belly-laughing friendship is one of the best catalysts to help us change whatever is in the way of us being happy. Her book, which has been inspired by Robin Norwood’s Women Who Love Too Much, will appeal to fans of autobiographies and memoirs.

Download or read book Energetic Cellular Healing and Cancer written by Tjitze de Jong and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the psychological causes of cancer and how energetic healing can assist in a mind-body cure • Unravels the psychological aspects of an individual's energetic defense system, with a focus on cancer, and provides insight into how energetic distortions in our physical and energetic bodies can lead to illness • Explores where possible energetic blocks might develop and how energetic cellular healing techniques can assist in dissolving them • Shares intimate cancer journeys from individuals the author has worked with As a complementary energy healer, Tjitze de Jong has supported hundreds of clients during their journey with cancer over the past 15 years. In Energetic Cellular Healing and Cancer, he provides insight into the functioning of our cells and our immune system and how energetic distortions in our physical as well as energetic bodies, for example, in our chakras and auras, can lead to illness. He explores the correlation between cancer and emotional imbalances and explains how energetic healing techniques can make a difference in how our bodies cope with, and heal, illness. Drawing on the work of Wilhelm Reich and Barbara Brennan, the author unravels the psychological aspects of an individual’s energetic defense system and examines where possible energetic blocks might develop or have their origin, and how they can be dissolved. He also details energetic exercises that instantly stimulate the vibrancy of the aura and the chakras and offers practical advice on how to enhance and strengthen the immune system. Sharing intimate stories of cancer journeys from individuals he has worked with, Tjitze de Jong emphasizes that, before healing is within the realm of possibility, an individual needs to be able to recognize self-limiting and self-debilitating beliefs, behaviors, and patterns, nearly always based on experiences from our formative early years. Once a person starts to engage in deep inner work, they are able to start releasing these patterns and move toward regaining their autonomy, and eventually better health. While the focus of this book is on cancer, much of the information offered here is relevant for other illnesses too, making this an excellent guide for self-exploration and healing as well as a reference tool for therapists and alternative health practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He has now authored two books, both of them self-published and available at Xlibris. The first is entitled An Anthology of Stories about My Family, in which he relates some stories about his Caribbean history and his early days in America. He was motivated to write the current volume, Follow the Manual, as he witnessed society’s deviation from what is written in God’s manual, the Holy Bible,,and he wanted to help to bring about a change. Although he might not get some people to change their opinions concerning some of the issues that he discussed in this book and about which they already seemed to have settled in their minds, this book would at least provoke a reopening of debates on these topics, and he believes the latter result would have accomplished a great portion of his intention. May God bless you and open your hearts as you read this book.

Amanda is a successful book editor at a prominent publishing house in New York City. Thea is a stay-at-home mother of three who has never really left the community in which she grew up. Eight months’ pregnant with her first child, Amanda and her husband move next door to Thea and her family, and the two women find themselves both drawn to and repelled by each other and their opposing choices in the constant struggle to balance career and family life. When a disaster forces Amanda and her family to take refuge in Thea’s home, the tensions simmering between them are forced to the surface and rise even further when Thea fills in as Amanda’s temporary nanny. But once dead animals start appearing on Thea’s front porch and she thinks that surely they're a macabre gift from Amanda, then the battle with “the other mother” begins in earnest. Gwendolen Gross has created a stunning, dark, suspenseful novel that is as brave as it is shocking.
