Book excerpt: I will share the inspirations that shape this story as a cosmology into a deeper reflection of what it is to choose our way, and evolve continuously, in nature, nurture and nourishment, moving from immense suffering, through tremendous love and beyond with persistent presence. These stories are in part a personal-memoir, a collection of incredible authors who came before me, and a compassionate expedition exploring the past, present and perennial. All of which follow a soulful quest into self-awareness and our potential for a fulfilled consciousness in becoming more aware, awake, alert and alive in the distinct, dark and divine worlds we exist and play in. I have come to better appreciate the natural world as the process of evolving and creating itself. When I seek questions, answers or wisdom ultimately, I look for natural metaphors and signals in our common elements of nature; space, water, fire, air and earth. The first source of wisdom is nature itself, and that wisdom is perennial as it keeps evolving. We will delve into the sacred space between all things as one of the common elements and is known in Japan as Ma and Sanskrit as Akash. I am no saint, as I have experimented with the three worlds in the divine, dark and distinct. I have strived to make the most balanced choices, and I sometimes choose excess over temperance, egoism over humility, and agitation over patience. When I am persistently present, I can make more balanced choices, and I do make them and then I do not, suspire, perspire and transpire. The manuscript expands on the evolution of a vision I experienced while returning from my hermitage on the Pacific northwest coast. A vision can be like the universe, in that it is evolving through alchemical reactions of self-creating atoms, molecules, and cells. Words evolve in similar ways, from letters, sounds, sentences and phrases into great stories and deeper, more complex meanings and cosmologies. Aldous Huxley said, “Experience is not what happens to a person; it is what a person does with what happens to them.” He paved the way for inclusion and transcendence amongst all cultures and generations and it is because of his sharing stories that we can carry on the development and participation of perennial wisdom, tradition, philosophy and science. Our appetites change over time, tastes evolve, and we hopefully come to better appreciate the company around our banquet table in the garden and beyond. Engaging with others becomes more important than getting a full belly as we find simpler ways to experience nature, nurture, and nourishment. I welcome all who are willing to share in hospitality and possibly even a good squabble. We are never truly alone, there are always realms of energy available to us for relationships in our communities. There are unseen energies that help manifest our dreams, call them conscious agents, conscience, angels or rascals the great news is that we get to choose which energy we participate with in a deliberate determined detailed destiny. I am learning to choose chances for change, participating and expanding in collective consciousness, while seeking the meandering mystic.
Download or read book Nature Is Nurture written by Megan E. Delaney and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Humans have long interacted with the nature world, from foraging and hunting for food to more recently, finding solace and peace in a beautiful vista. Our connection to nature runs deep in our DNA, yet our modern world has humans indoors almost 93% of the day. There is growing evidence that being in nature provides a healing elixir for physical and mental ailments. In fact, some physicians are "prescribing nature" for relief of patient's ailments. Ecotherapy, a growing but lesser known construct in mental health, describes the reciprocal relationship humans have with nature and the capacity of that relationship to build strength and provide healing. This book provides an overview of the theoretical constructs of Ecotherapy highlighting historical considerations and recent research within the discipline. Perspectives, examples and reflections are provided through the author's own experience as a former wilderness therapist and current Ecotherapist and counselor educator. Chapters include practical ways to incorporate Ecotherapy with children and adults, within schools settings, in group work and with veteran populations. Descriptions of other Ecotherapy modalities are also included, such as animal-assisted, equine-assisted, horticultural, forest bathing, green exercise and adventure based therapy. There is chapter devoted to designing an Ecotherapy course within a counseling program and finally, a chapter describing ways that a therapist can "become" an Ecotherapist. Case examples, techniques and practical and ethical considerations are provided throughout. To bring the content to life, several contributors offer stories, reflections and experiences with nature are a partner in the therapeutic relationship"--

Nurture tells the story of how and why it all began and brings to life the principles, ideas and beliefs that have made Daylesford what it is today. From sustainable farming to holistic health, Nurture shares Carole Bamford’s vision for a more mindful way of life and how we can all nourish our bodies, mind and spirit in a simple and balanced way.

Download or read book Religion and life cycles in early modern England written by Caroline Bowden and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and life cycles in early modern England assembles scholars working in the fields of history, English literature and art history to further our understanding of the intersection between religion and the life course in the period c. 1550–1800. Featuring chapters on Catholic, Protestant and Jewish communities, it encourages cross-confessional comparison between life stages and rites of passage that were of religious significance to all faiths in early modern England. The book considers biological processes such as birth and death, aspects of the social life cycle including schooling, coming of age and marriage and understandings of religious transition points such as spiritual awakenings and conversion. Through this inclusive and interdisciplinary approach, it seeks to show that the life cycle was not something fixed or predetermined and that early modern individuals experienced multiple, overlapping life cycles.

Download or read book Nurture by Nature written by Barbara Barron and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every parent knows that children, even babies, have distinct personalities. Any parent with more than one child is probably well aware of how different from each other children, even siblings, can be. So it's only natural that the parenting strategies that work with one child may be less effective with another child. How can you be sure that your nurturing is well suited to your child? With this one-of-a-kind parenting guide, you can use Personality Type analysis - a powerful and well-respected psychological tool - to understand your child better and become a more effective parent. In Nurture by Nature you'll learn which of 16 distinctly different types best matches your child's personality; how this personality type affects your child in each of the three stages of development - preschool, school age, and adolescence; how other parents, whose experiences are recounted in scores of case studies, deal with a wide array of challenging situations you may encounter: reining in a preschooler whose boundless energy constantly gets him into trouble; communicating with a child who keeps her thoughts and feelings secret; understanding an adolescent who seems not to care that he is forever losing things (his homework, his baseball cap, his keys); broadening the horizons of a child who resists trying anything new or unfamiliar...; and how you can adapt your parenting style to your child's type - and get better results when communicating, supporting, motivating, and disciplining. Whether your child is a tantrum-prone toddler, a shy third-grader, a rebellious teen, or somewhere in between, Nurture by Nature will give you the power to understand why children are the way they are - and to become the best parent you can be.
Download or read book Spiritual Genocide written by Sonia Sabharwal and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Genocide – Reincarnation of Earth encompasses channeled information illustrating Earth's past history. This history is unfolding today and into the future, and is based on a topic in every scripture: "Thou Shall Not Kill." This book is rich in defining other archetypes with every chapter revealing hidden celestial truths. Every chapter is written as a mystical gate which is stylistically related and adventurous. Every chapter is like a photograph in God's album surveying the past, present, and the possible future of this unremitting heavenly war and its everlasting effect on Earth and her population. While some photographs bring joyful memories of Earth being God's heartbeat, before her separation from him during the heavenly war, some reveal the celestial truth behind the inexplicable mysteries of Earth's vortices (Mt. Shasta, The Pyramids, Mt. Kailash etc.) and vortexes (Bermuda Triangle, Mohenjo-Daro, Arctic and Antarctic Circles etc.) that continue to baffle scientists, geologists, and many others in their quest for spiritual knowledge. A spiritual analysis of some of the cataclysmic photographs predicts the possible future of Earth. This could be analogous to Mars or the sunken Lemuria or the Lost Continent of Atlantis; there could either be a new Earth or no Earth at all in the future celestial album. Some historical snapshots describe wretchedness where mass atrocities such as the Holocaust, genocides, wars, world wars, nuclear disasters, abortions, murders, September 11 attacks, etc. show that Earth's soil is losing its fertility and the quality of its harvest--her inhabitants--is being reduced. They are also subject to devitalization. Though the mystery of devitalization entails the deciphering of DNA codes, so as to trace the initial reincarnation of Earth and the human soul, the book's chapters will unlock the key mystery that the cosmos (including Earth, planets, and extraterrestrials) has reincarnated numerous times and is reincarnating as per its karmic activity for spiritual ascension. Based on the current threat of nuclear disaster and mass atrocities (including shootings) that are closing the traditional doors of churches, temples, and synagogues, these photographs will reveal the possibility that the celestial windows for Earth and her inhabitants are closing with no doors to escape. Are the current meteorological changes depicting that when one wants to plant a garden, the soil has to be rich in order for the new crops to grow? This book will reveal that if the quality of the Earth and soil is diminished, because of mass atrocities that have occurred since Earth's inception and the effects of present nuclear threats, the crops may not grow. The Spiritual Genocide – Reincarnation of Earth captures the essence of the author's beliefs and further explains the mysteries of the universe. For thousands of years humans have been destroying Earth. This divinely inspired book is the truth about man's veiled secrets--the denial of their own soul truth and the attempt to unconsciously place fault on other human beings for their karma. This is an awakening of truth that each soul is responsible for in their ascension with God. This spiritual book is a spiritual initiation for entering into God's heart and pure love. It is a spiritual initiation of the birthing of dreams for believers and non-believers of faith. This book is guidance for everyone, as we all have sorrows and tragedies that been felt for centuries on Earth. It provides a link to all souls existing today. The author hopes that "Spiritual Genocide-Reincarnation of Earth" is a resource for all souls who are lost and forgotten. Hope this book provides them hope, joy and inspiration.
Download or read book Plants in Children s and Young Adult Literature written by Melanie Duckworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the forests of the tales of the Brothers Grimm to Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree, from the flowers of Cicely May Barker’s fairies to the treehouse in Andy Griffith and Terry Denton’s popular 13-Storey Treehouse series, trees and other plants have been enduring features of stories for children and young adults. Plants act as gateways to other worlds, as liminal spaces, as markers of permanence and change, and as metonyms of childhood and adolescence. This anthology is the first compilation devoted entirely to analysis of the representation of plants in children’s and young adult literatures, reflecting the recent surge of interest in cultural plant studies within the environmental humanities. Mapping out and presenting an internationally inclusive view of plant representation in texts for children and young adults, the volume includes contributions examining European, American, Australian, and Asian literatures and contributes to the research fields of ecocriticism, critical plant studies, and the study of children’s and young adult literatures.
Download or read book Mothers in Children s and Young Adult Literature written by Lisa Rowe Fraustino and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Children’s Literature Association’s 2018 Edited Book Award Contributions by Robin Calland, Lauren Causey, Karen Coats, Sara K. Day, Lisa Rowe Fraustino, Dorina K. Lazo Gilmore, Anna Katrina Gutierrez, Adrienne Kertzer, Kouen Kim, Alexandra Kotanko, Jennifer Mitchell, Mary Jeanette Moran, Julie Pfeiffer, and Donelle Ruwe Living or dead, present or absent, sadly dysfunctional or merrily adequate, the figure of the mother bears enormous freight across a child's emotional and intellectual life. Given the vital role literary mothers play in books for young readers, it is remarkable how little scholarly attention has been paid to the representation of mothers outside of fairy tales and beyond studies of gender stereotypes. This collection of thirteen essays begins to fill a critical gap by bringing together a range of theoretical perspectives by a rich mix of senior scholars and new voices. Following an introduction in which the coeditors describe key trends in interdisciplinary scholarship, the book's first section focuses on the pedagogical roots of maternal influence in early children's literature. The next section explores the shifting cultural perspectives and subjectivities of the twentieth century. The third section examines the interplay of fantasy, reality, and the ethical dimensions of literary mothers. The collection ends with readings of postfeminist motherhood, from contemporary realism to dystopian fantasy. The range of critical approaches in this volume will provide multiple inroads for scholars to investigate richer readings of mothers in children's and young adult literature.
