A Jungian analyst and thought leader shares a call to action for women who dream of reuniting with their unique and independent nature.Within every woman lies a powerful force. Yet, somewhere along the line, the burdens of responsibility and desire to nurture the ones they love cause that fire to dim, and they lose their sense of self. The Vital Spark brings women on an immersive journey that reunites them with their innate humor, cunning, and assertiveness. Combining personal stories, intercultural fairy tales, and deep analysis, Lisa Marchiano shares resources that inspire women to break free from the conditioning that has kept them confined to rigid roles and muffled the sound of their soul. Here, she invites us to explore eight core aspects of ourselves: shrewdness, disagreeableness, desire, trickiness, sexuality, anger, authority, and ruthlessness. Each chapter reinforces the truth of our relentlessly human narrative in the truest sense-allowing for the retrieval of our "outlaw" energies and deepest parts of our authentic selves."For a woman to return to herself, she must be reunited with her own central fire," Marchiano says. "No longer does she need to feel obligated to set aside a part of herself to feel valued by society, betraying her essential nature in the interest of pleasing external forces." The Vital Spark offers a guide to recovering the fiercely brave spirit that lies within our original wholeness.

A road map to harness the power of our collective human consciousness as a source for healing our traumatized worldWe are all interconnected-and dependent on each other to shape the world in which we live. Yet even though technology has allowed us to digitally share our lives with more people than ever, the result has been a growing pattern of personal isolation, alienation, and division. Why is this? "We are seeing the manifestation of collective trauma," says luminary Thomas Hübl, who has reached thousands of people around the world through his teachings on mysticism and healing. "The profoundly complex challenges we face demand a new level of human collaboration." In Attuned, Hübl, together with writer Julie Jordan Avritt, shares a visionary guide for individuals, therapists, and other professionals committed to healing our struggling world. Attuning to a person, group, or organization means coming into resonance by listening mindfully to the inner sensations, feelings, images, and information that arise. At the core of the book is the "relational field"-a vast matrix of energy through which information is shared within, around, and between us. In each chapter, you'll find insights and practices for perceiving and tuning in to oneself and others, and ultimately contributing to the healing of this field, including:. The mystical and evolutionary principles behind human development and connection. Resources for embodying resilience, processing toxic stress, and regulating our individual and collective nervous systems. Attunement practices for working with the effects of trauma in yourself and across communities. Transparent communication-a practice of relating through authentic awareness and vulnerability. Guidance for group facilitators, healing ancestral trauma, and moreBy embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond to and evolve through the challenges of our age. "It may take only a small number of us," explains Hübl, "to establish a new level of collective coherence-to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world."

Qigong master Robert Peng returns with daily meditations to empower your organs-and tap into the limitless wisdom contained in your body."Peace on earth mirrors peace within," says Robert Peng. Yet when we bring energies of disharmony into our lives-like stress, anxiety, trauma, and discord-those energies take up residence in our bodies and minds. Fortunately, the antidote for healing the buildup of inner toxicity is all around us in the form of life-giving qi. With The Way of Virtue, this renowned teacher presents a guide to Qigong meditations that will direct cleansing energy directly to the parts of yourself where it is most needed-and make room for the abundant virtues that naturally arise from a healthy and balanced body.

A contemporary take on manifesting based on processing our emotions within the context of metaphysical truths to create a full lifeThe universe responds to our feelings. This idea is crucial in manifestation-but when we try to put it into practice, things fall flat and we feel stuck.

You can realize your most joyful and connected life."

A profound new approach to healing trauma, grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this nearly universal experienceFor centuries, we've been taught that being traumatized means we are somehow broken-and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship. But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society's understanding of trauma. "The body's trauma response is designed to save our lives-and it does," she says. "It's not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience."With Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, Dr. McDonald overturns the misconceptions about trauma with the latest evidence from neuroscience and psychology-and shares tested practices and tools to help you work with your body's coping mechanisms to accelerate healing. Here, you'll explore: . What is trauma? The latest science that undoes the stigmas of shame, blame, and humiliation. Moral injury-having our basic sense of how the world should work overturned. The truth about triggers-what they really are and how they can guide the healing journey. Traumatic patterns-new findings to help break free from recurring habits and toxic dynamics. Why we can always rewrite our inner narratives, no matter how much time has passed . Finding a "relational home" for trauma-how we can help each other return to wholenessDr. McDonald's case studies reveal the many ways trauma can manifest and persist in our lives, yet there's one factor every case has in common: the trauma response itself reveals the path to healing. "Our traumatic experiences reveal that we can be bent, dented, or bruised," she says, "but we cannot be broken." For anyone who has gone through trauma or wants to help others who are struggling, here is an empowering resource for finding our way home to our bodies, rebuilding our relationships, and returning to full engagement with life.

Discover what comes after mindfulness-an expansive guide to the limitless possibilities of meditative practice.Mindfulness is everywhere-touted as an essential part of a healthy lifestyle like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: "Now what?" For anyone who has sensed the potential for something much deeper and more profound than stress relief within the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek presents an essential guidebook on what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness.With I'm Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a much older, greater tapestry of contemplative practice.

In accessible language, he shares insights and tools to help you develop your practice, navigate the limits and pitfalls of mindfulness, use "meditation snacks" to explore new directions, and much more.Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility each day.

A guide for women of all shapes and sizes who are in the bold process of going beyond stereotypes to find the truth of who they areThere's a new generation of multicultural women who refuse to conform to the "serene and calm" model of spirituality. "We're Black and white. We're feminists who twerk. We're spiritual and take tequila shots. We're unruly... and our tribe is growing strong," says women's wellness influencer Shelah Marie. Yet breaking the mold only gets us so far-what's needed is a road map for creating a life that embraces our contradictions and lets us shine in our unique glory. In Unruly, Shelah shares a guide "for that little girl who never quite fit in, and all my other naturally unruly ladies."With respect and relatability-no gurus here, sisters-Shelah shares how to become the architect of your life, using a culmination of her best tried-and-true teachings from her retreats, courses, and online programs. The 10-step guided journey mixes story, prescriptive content, and structured practices, opening you up to a new level of agency, self-acceptance, and confidence.

"If you join me on this journey," Shelah promises, "you'll grow past feeling guilt, shame, or a need to fit in-and you'll move through life with grace, strength, and unshakable authenticity."

A road map to recognize and heal the unspoken, often-misunderstood experience of everyday loss-and finally move into living a full life "Compared to most, my problems are small." "I should be happy with what I've got." We have an inner judge that tells us grief is "allowed" for big losses, but that we should be able to tough it out through everyday heartbreak-like financial worries, isolation, prejudice and bigotry, or our sense of helplessness in a troubled world. "These are losses society doesn't recognize, mirror back to us, or validate," says acclaimed grief educator Christina Rasmussen. "As a result, we don't recognize or validate them either."In Invisible Loss, Rasmussen shines a light on this unrecognized form of grief. Because we avoid invisible loss, we don't process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless "waiting room" in the hope that time will heal our wounds. Here, Rasmussen helps you meet your loss with grace, free from shame or guilt. Then she shares a powerful five-step process called the Life Reentry® Model to help you cleanse stagnant emotions and habits, build your capacity for reflection and acceptance, and reclaim control of your life."The entire world is silently grieving, attempting to process a form of heartbreak unlike anything we've ever experienced. We need a new language and road map for our invisible losses," says Rasmussen. This book gives you the tools you need in order to heal, move forward, and embrace the life you were meant to lead.

A richly rewarding guide for women stepping into their full feminine powerPre-patriarchal cultures revered the passage from youth to maturity as a part of nature's cycle. Yet, today's society has largely severed women from this connection, asking them to remain young, pretty, and disconnected from their inner sacredness. Maiden to Mother offers a desperately needed pathway out of infantilization and disempowerment and into soul-sourced sovereign wholeness. Through story, ritual, and teaching, Wilson ushers women through the ancient passage of the immature "Maiden" phase of life and guides us through the crucial initiation into the archetypal Mother-the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us. The Mother is every woman's birthright, regardless of whether or not she raises children. It is an embodiment of who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now.Here, we are invited to dismantle our internalized conditioning with its false, constricting standards for the feminine, so that we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life. "Midlife is not, as our culture proposes, where a woman's power ends," says Wilson, "but where it really begins."

Supercharge your manifestation practice with this practical guide for invoking the help and guidance of the Universe."Why can't I make manifestation work?" Many people struggle with this question in their practice-and the answer, says expert teacher Tammy Mastroberte, is they're trying to do it alone. "The key," she says, "is to put down the stressful burden of changing your reality by yourself, and place the Universe in charge."In The Higher Help Method, Mastroberte affirms the Universe will support you to create what you want-or something even more incredible. To access the full potential of manifestation, you must learn to invoke the aid and wisdom of the divine with confidence, receptivity, and trust. Here, she shares her tried-and-true system for framing your intentions with clarity, calling in specialized higher help, recognizing guidance as it appears around you, and following the Universe's lead. Then she dives deeper with specific tools such as custom prayers, exercises, crystals, and rituals for manifesting in seven key areas: money and abundance, health and healing, emotional well-being, relationships, career, parenting, and spiritual connection."The Universe always responds when you ask for help," says Mastroberte. "When you learn to trust it as a partner, creating positive change becomes easier, more effective, and much more fun." Here is an indispensable guide for becoming a cocreator of your reality, supported by divine forces to consciously create a life you love.
