Book excerpt: Coloring has therapeutic benefits that bring calm and help you abandon your structured and overloaded environment. There are 4 Guided Meditations in this coloring book: Gratitude. Strength. Growth. Joy. Start with accessing the power of GRATITUDE. Next, feel into the source of your inner STRENGTH. Go deeper into your experience of personal GROWTH. Follow it up with a deeper experience of JOY. Each meditation story gives you opportunities to let go, connect with your inner landscape and experience the benefits of any type of meditation practice such as calming, centering, clarity or an open heart. By giving your attention to the act of coloring, you are able to relax your mind and body, letting go of tension, mental clutter and overwhelm. Each page is a stress-reducing invitation to express your creative side. What is GUIDED MEDITATION? Powerful. Healing. Relaxing There are many forms and styles of meditation, all offering stress relief and relaxation for body/mind/spirit. Guided meditation is popular and satisfying because it is quite simply the easiest way to meditate. Guided meditation is similar to taking a guided tour through your own body. This includes reminders to breathe deeply and consciously, being instructed to relax and let go of tension in the body, and being guide to focus on a specific theme or concept. As you stay focused on your body and breathing, the action of coloring begins clearing and opening the mind. It's a beautiful combination. While the mind and body relax, you are able to concentrate on ideas of images around an inspiring or healing theme. This activates the power of visualization when you mind and body are most receptive. Meditation on inspiring thoughts or images is an experience that is transcendent and focus-activating. This process allows better performance in all your life. Coloring Tips The most important tip is to relax and enjoy the process. Release any form of expectation or perfectionism regarding how your coloring pages look. Any color is beautiful. Any combination of colors or tools is just right. Every expression of your pencil or marker is welcome. Making mistakes are welcome. Everything is an opportunity to discover something new or try another direction. Guided Meditation Tips Take longer than normal deep breaths to open up to your inner wisdom. Clear your mind by practicing slow and gentle breathing. With every breath: Expand your chest/relax your body/open your mind. Center yourself by following the meditation suggestions as you color. Allow yourself to become aware of positive energy surrounding you. Enter a relaxed state by coloring at the pace that feels most comfortable.

Download or read book All Things Lovely written by Jenn Johnson and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the first steps to living as a healthier and happier woman and discover the spiritual importance of acceptance, gathering, and community. Jenn Johnson has come to realize that the pursuit of perfection is unrealistic and unfair. Instead, we need to pause and reflect on what's in front of us. But how? How can we slow down? How can we remain focused on what's important and do things with intention? What can we pursue that represents God's heart for us, things that are true, noble, right, pure, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy? By pursuing all things "lovely." Living a holistic and holy life, a life marked by beauty and truth, means being mindful and intentional about what we put in our bodies, how we present ourselves to the world, the spaces we create, and the people we let into our lives. When we set our minds on what is lovely, we begin to see ourselves and the world as God intended. We begin to be wholly renewed.

Download or read book How to Change Your Mind written by Michael Pollan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now on Netflix as a 4-part documentary series! “Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.
Download or read book The Inspired Teacher written by Donna Quesada and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donna Quesada had been teaching for about a dozen years when the first signs of burnout hit her. Rather than give in to her frustration, she reached for Buddha’s teachings, the Zen wisdom that formed the basis of her own longtime spiritual practice. She survived the semester and gradually rediscovered the joy in her job that had been progressively declining. In this wise and inspirational book, she shares the lessons she learned—lessons that revealed, time and again, that no matter the situation, it’s always about getting your head in the right place first. Resolution begins in our own minds. Some days, some semesters, and even some years will be more challenging and more wearisome than others, she warns. But in The Inspired Teacher, Quesada offers a lasting source of encouragement and Zen. Although the book draws from Eastern teachings, the wisdom is for everyone, regardless of personal background, creed, or faith. With elements of The Last Lecture as well as Chicken Soup for the Teacher’s Soul, this is the perfect gift for teachers—but also for anyone needing inspiration.
