Book excerpt: Within Sacred Circles follows on the success of Towner-Larsen's first book, With Sacred Threads: Quilting and the Spiritual Life. From around the world and throughout the ages, circular symbols have been an integral part of centering one's spirit and expressing wholeness. Mandalas are a sacred expression of this universal need for circular symbols, and quilted mandalas combine the spiritual energy and meditative practices of two artistic, timeless worlds--the world of mandalas and the world of quilts. It is the author's hope that this book will connect the traditions, uses, and symbolism of mandalas with the spirituality of quilters and the stories of their mandalas. Each chapter is based on a theme common to mandalas and to the spiritual life. Along with each theme reflection is a picture of a quilted mandala, the story of the quilt as told by its creator (Sacred Story), plus some prayers, holy text, and suggestions for meditation or making your own mandala (Sacred Circles).

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement who are harnessing truth, courage, and solutions to lead humanity forward. “A powerful read that fills one with, dare I say . . . hope?”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial table. More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone. All We Can Save illuminates the expertise and insights of dozens of diverse women leading on climate in the United States—scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, innovators, wonks, and designers, across generations, geographies, and race—and aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save.

Download or read book Sacred Circles written by Karen L Redmond and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Circles teaches how to create a sacred space, using crystal energy, for spiritual healing and awakening. It draws upon the layout and philosophy of the Native American medicine wheel, which is a sacred circle that symbolizes unity throughout all of creation. Sacred Circles are comprised of four sections that pay tribute to four directions of our world (north, east, south, and west). Each direction is aligned with the four elements of our world: fire (spark of life), earth (foundation of life), air (breath of life), and water (lifeforce healing). Each direction also aligns with the spiritual bodies that comprise the incarnated soul: physical body, mental body, spiritual body and emotional body. The circles are formed using carefully selected stones and crystals to create a specific synergy for spiritual healing. These sacred spaces can also be used for yoga, tai chi, and drumming ceremonies. Circles have been designed for the purpose of spiritual enlightenment, spiritual healing, and achieving abundance. There are circles designed to support creativity and artistic expression. There is even a Sacred Circle included for animals that can be especially comforting to older animals, pets who are recovering from an injury, or those who may be dealing with a chronic illness. There is also helpful advice on how to design your own Sacred Circle. Whether you desire to release the negative energy from a stressful day, are seeking to evoke mindfulness for a spiritual awakening, or wish to focus on drawing abundance into your life, the circles in this book are designed to help you achieve your goals.

Book excerpt: These 37 essays are rooted in the inspiration I experience in working with my patients and with participants at the Opening the Heart Workshop. Though they are all very different in tone and content, they are all about love in the small places, off center stage. They may have been about lifting a hosta leaf and findinding a spider's web in diamonds of morning dew, or about watching new grass grow, holding a weeping patient in my office, watching a man outside my office drag his leg behind as he carries groceries home. They are all, I think, small love stories.
