Download or read book The Spaces Between Your Fingers written by Matthew Ross Smith and published by Sbyf Books. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of those rare books that, in just a few minutes, will transform the way you see the world around you, beginning with the simplest, most ordinary, most overlooked of things: the spaces between your fingers. It's a parable about a grandfather vanishing into the blur of Alzheimer's, and the secret way of remembering that he taught his grandson, so they could always find each other. The simple yet lyrical prose draws you in from page one, and builds to an emotional, magical conclusion that will have you reflecting on the people and memories you cherish most in your own life. The story inspired The Spaces Between Your Fingers Project, a nonprofit that helps people with Alzheimer's pass on their memories by writing them on postcards and mailing them to their kids and grandkids. 100% of author royalties are donated to fund SBYF Project writing programs.

Download or read book The Spaces Between Us written by Michael Graziano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us has a protected zone two or three feet wide, swelling around the head and narrowing towards the feet. This zone isn't fixed in size: if you're nervous, it grows; if you're relaxed, it shrinks. It also depends on your cultural upbringing. Personal space is small in Japan and large in Australia. This safety zone, called personal space, provides an invisible spatial scaffold that frames our social interactions. As Michael Graziano argues in The Spaces Between Us, it also organizes our social and emotional spacing, influences our facial expressions, and shapes our interactions with everyday objects including tools, furniture, and clothing. Even ordinary actions like walking are informed by a continuous under-the-surface calculation of threats and obstacles around the body: what Graziano calls a virtual bubble-wrap of active neurons that fire and move us to action, even before we may be conscious of our course corrections in real time. Humans evolved a complex way of interacting with others and their environment, and The Spaces Between Us looks at how this infrastructure may have led to the first smile and to a host of other human activities, from tool use, to courtship, and to a sense of self. The book concludes with a case study of Graziano's son, who had heart-breaking difficulties developing a functioning personal space. Written with poignant narrative clarity, Graziano makes the case for the interested scientific public that this system in the brain is more than a fascinating scientific topic: it's deeply personal and shapes our human nature.

Download or read book The Aura written by Sarah A. Schweitzer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, in general, continually changes. The aura energy field of light which surrounds every living human body is also changing. Currently, the dense 3rd dimensional aura field of light is being replaced with a new 5th dimensional light frequency. As our planet continues to ascend and accept the 5th dimensional frequency and light within her aura field, many individuals seeking enlightenment will experience an energy shift as their personal aura also accepts the higher light. This shift allows the potential for transformational change to occur, not only to our global planet, but also in ones personal life. In transformation, old density threads are unwoven and are moved out of the dense aura energy field both at a global earth level, and also at the personal human level. This allows negative imprints, blocks, and emotional drama that were once stuck in density, access to the higher energy frequency. Although the potential to repeat old issues is ever present in any energy field, old imprints cannot anchor correctly in 5th dimensional light which lessens their importance as well as their ability to stabilize. Once old density issues are destabilized, they become easy to process, transition, and remove from the aura energy field. For many individuals, this can feel like heaven on earth. This book presents information that defines and explains the aura field of light that surrounds the human body. When working to transition the density of a 3rd dimensional energy aura into a 5th dimensional frequency of light, this information is necessary to know and understand. As energy shifts and transitions occur, insight is gained about blocks, issues, and negativity that have been present in density. This insight triggers transformational clearing within the aura allowing one to experience wellness and empowered living.
