Download or read book Vitamin N written by Richard Louv and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestseller that defined nature-deficit disorder and launched the international children-and-nature movement, Vitamin N (for “nature”) is a complete prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now, with 500 activities for children and adults Dozens of inspiring and thought-provoking essays Scores of informational websites Down-to-earth advice In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv was the first to bring widespread attention to the alienation of children from the natural world, coining the term nature-deficit disorder and outlining the benefits of a strong nature connection--from boosting mental acuity and creativity to reducing obesity and depression, from promoting health and wellness to simply having fun. That book “rivaled Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring” (the Cincinnati Enquirer), was “an absolute must-read for parents” (the Boston Globe), and “an inch-thick caution against raising the fully automated child” (the New York Times). His follow-up book, The Nature Principle, addressed the needs of adults and outlined a “new nature movement and its potential to improve the lives of all people no matter where they live” (McClatchy Newspapers).Vitamin N is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive, and practical guidebook for the whole family and the wider community, including tips not only for parents eager to share nature with their kids but also for those seeking nature-smart schools, medical professionals, and even careers. It is a dose of pure inspiration, reminding us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the woods is as exhilarating as it is essential, at any age.
Download or read book A Journey Into Being written by Christine Ramos and published by . This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UPDATED AND REVISED SECOND EDITION From the author: When it comes to getting guidance about the arrival of new life the sources are plenty. Healthcare practitioners, books, magazines, websites, and well meaning friends and family members can all offer valuable information. But what about gaining insight about childbearing from a consciousness and spiritual perspective? When I was pregnant with my second child I sought a different type of guidance; one that spoke to the true depth of carrying another life inside me. As a spiritual person and empath I knew enough to understand that nothing is random. I wanted to learn about the soul of my unborn child and why I would be the one honored to be his or her parent. I craved to know the process of spirit uniting with physical body. When does it happen and can the mother sense it? Is it possible to communicate with the consciousness of your baby before birth? Can you be so attuned to your child that you can intuit their inner happenings on a vibrational level? I had nowhere to turn to for the answers to these deeper questions. So I began my quest to put it all together. It meant delving deep to make sound premises backed by available research and reliable observation. The nurse in me demanded empirical evidence, but I also wanted the warmth of personal accounts. A Journey Into Being is cumulation of medical, scientific, spiritual, and Eastern wisdom. It will take you where science meets spirituality on the transformational passage of the soul as it prepares for life, unites with the physical body, and undergoes birth. It will provide guidance on how to know and nurture a child's inner being. Once we view new life through the lens of spirit many questions and mystifying issues surrounding the arrival of new life will become clearer like: How do I nurture my child on a more intuitive level? Why are some babies more sensitive or reactive than others? Why do I feel like I've known my newborn all my life? How can I connect spiritually to my child during pregnancy? Was I chosen to be my child's parent? What is the true meaning of life/reality/consciousness How do we reconcile the idea of a just Higher Being when cruel things can happen to innocent children? A Journey Into Being is not just for those who are parents or wish to become parents. It can help anyone gain greater insight into the eternal nature of consciousness and explore the course of their own journey into physical being or of those they love. This book is my tribute to every precious child as each brings the promise of positive change for a more loving universe.

Download or read book Working with Oneness written by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and published by The Golden Sufi Center. This book was released on 2002-05-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has been given access to the secrets of oneness, but we need to learn how to work with them. Working with Oneness brings mysticism into the center of the marketplace, into the world of business and technology, and shows how we can work with it in everyday life. The dynamic energy of oneness has the potential to heal the planet and revolutionize life more than we can imagine, but it requires our individual participation and awareness to become fully alive. The energy of oneness is already present but waiting to be lived, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee provides a blueprint for working consciously with this energy. As we understand how our consciousness affects the whole fabric of life, the potential for real global change comes alive. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee stresses the need to change from hierarchical, patriarchal power structures to organic patterns that allow for the free flow of energy and ideas. Through these patterns the dynamic energy of oneness can become part of everyday life. Working with Oneness includes a number of additional important topics, including: the changing energy structure of the planet and how to work with it; the power of individual consciousness; the danger of the desire for spiritual security; the return of joy to everyday life; the awakening of the heart of the world; a new understanding of magic; the use of the imagination; and mystical participation in life with the energy of oneness. Working with Oneness offers guidance on how to work with the energy of oneness, to learn how to participate in life free of the patterns of the past, so that the divine can come alive in every moment of every day. Working with Oneness is mystical activism at its most potent. “There is a growing and eager audience waiting for a vision of unity consciousness... Working with Oneness offers a salutary antidote to worn-out antagonisms. It challenges readers to join other kindred souls in a mystical activism that can bring new hope to humanity.” —Spirituality & Health “A book filled with wonder and the kind of insights that can leap out to your heart and gladden you for having read them. It's words are simple and straightforward—always a blessing—but its message it the most vital and important for the time in which we live. I recommend it.” —David Spangler, author, Blessings: the Art and the Practice
Download or read book Pass the Faith Please written by Lori Borgman and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children Do Not Live by Macaroni and Cheese Alone. As a parent, you have roughly eighteen years to imprint life's basic lessons onto the heart of your child: from the need to put the milk back in the refrigerator to the value of turning in school assignments on time. Above all, you want your child to have a dynamic, living faith-a rock-solid belief system. How does a parent ascend to such lofty heights while tethered to piles of laundry, unpaid bills, and a yapping dog? It's easier than you may think. Just as Christ did with the disciples, parents impart crucial lessons in the midst of ordinary, everyday life. So, pull up a chair and discover how you can turn seemingly unremarkable, daily moments into opportunities to instill in your child a truly remarkable faith. The Natural Way to Feed Your Child's Spiritual Hunger. Pass the Potatoes. Pass the Meatloaf. Pass the Faith. Since your child was a tiny baby, you have been lovingly providing food for his or her body, stimulation for the mind, love for the heart, and truth for the spirit. Yet it is as you go about the familiar rituals of life-in the very holiness of the mundane-that you may best teach your child about God and His ways. Using the memorable metaphor of the family dinner table-where napkins illustrate the power of forgiveness and placemats protect our tables as Scripture protects our children's souls-author Lori Borgman illustrates how to make the most of the natural teaching times in daily life and find creative, enjoyable ways to interweave spiritual nurture with the struggles and joys of everyday living.

Download or read book Life and Holiness written by Thomas Merton and published by Colchis Books. This book was released on 1963 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is intended to be a very simple book, an elementary treatment of a few basic ideas in Christian spirituality. Hence it should be useful to any Christian, and indeed to anyone who wants to acquaint himself with some principles of the interior life as it is understood in the Catholic Church. Nothing is here said of such subjects as “contemplation” or even “mental prayer.” And yet the book emphasizes what is at once the most common and the most mysterious aspect in the Christian life: grace, the power and the light of God in us, purifying our hearts, transforming us in Christ, making us true sons of God, enabling us to act in the world as his instruments for the good of all men and for his glory. This is therefore a meditation on some fundamental themes appropriate to the active life. It must be said at once that the active life is essential to every Christian. Clearly the active life must mean more than the life which is led in religious institutes of men and women who teach, care for the sick, and so on. (When one is talking of the “active life” as opposed to the “contemplative life,” this is the usual reference.) Here action is not looked at in opposition to contemplation, but as an expression of charity and as a necessary consequence of union with God by baptism.

Now, with the same breadth of vision and depth of commitment, he combines accessible analysis of cutting-edge science with the study of spiritual texts to explore the divine side of childhood, and to put forth a practical design for the care of our children's souls.

This insightful and groundbreaking book urges its readers to become aware of our children's divine inheritance, and learn how to nurture that divinity. Sensible and informed, it shows how to protect childhood from the complexities of our age, and provides, as no book ever has, the means for bestowing upon our children the gifts of compassion, security, discipline, humility, and enlightenment. The Soul of the Child is a passionate and practical book that puts forth a finely wrought argument for greater attention to the spiritual side of childhood, to the very life of the human soul. And it couldn't have come at a better time.

Book excerpt: Trends and skills for those who offer pastoral care Christian pastoral care has changed a great deal in the past few decades in response to many factors in our rapidly changing world. In part 1 of Nurturing Hope, Lynne Baab discusses seven trends in pastoral care--shifts in who delivers pastoral care, the attitudes and commitments that undergird pastoral care, and societal trends that are shaping pastoral care today. She illustrates them with stories from diverse congregations where Christian caregivers are meeting those challenges in creative and exciting ways. In the second half of the book, Baab presents four practical, doable, energizing skills needed by pastoral carers in our time. Focusing on skills that help carers nurture connections between everyday life and Christian faith, she explores the need for carers to understand common stressors, listen, pray with others, and nurture their personal resilience. Grounded in an understanding of God as the true caregiver and healer, the author offers tips for readers who are training other pastoral carers or developing their own understanding and skills. Each chapter ends with discussion and reflection questions, making the book helpful for groups. Lynne Baab brings readers hope for their caring role and for their own spiritual journey.
Download or read book The Spiritual Child written by Dr. Lisa Miller and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality: * are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances * are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers * are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex * have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's—as well as their own—well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.
