Book excerpt: Positive and practical, this guide is designed to offer a route to recovery from grief and loss after adoption or long-term foster care. Children growing up in adoptive families or foster care often have complicated feelings about the loss of their birth parents - feelings which become all the more complex as they gain independence and become young adults, and which can endure throughout their lives. Common life events such as entering new relationships, building a family or losing a loved one can give rise to difficult questions about their own childhood and identity. In this book, Renée Wolfs provides an accessible explanation of the feelings of loss and grief commonly experienced by adults who grew up in adoptive families or foster care, and how debilitating they can be. She provides grounded advice and strategies to aid recovery and provides the reader with a useful tool: The Circle of Connecting. The Circle provides strategies for healing from loss, spanning all seven elements of your life: your body, mind, heart, environment, past, present and future. This book is essential reading for older teens and adults who need help in addressing feelings of grief and loss, as well as those who support them including adoptive and foster parents, social workers, counsellors and therapists.

It brings together current understanding and research of mindfulness and flow with ancient practices of meditation and mindfulness, to describe the extra-ordinary state of mindfulness-in-flow. It is both a “how-to-do” and a “how-to-be” book. It considers the states and practices of mindfulness, meditation and flow, and a process that leads to the experience of mindfulness-in-flow, where a person completely engages in an activity, yet is mindful and aware of the surrounding environment. Mindflow leads to positive outcomes in daily life, relationships, work, and for the world. Over 50 practical techniques and applications are described here so the reader can experience mindflow in every part of life.
