She includes aspects of the I Ching that have never before been translated into English, offering fresh perspectives on a classic work.

Readers will learn how to: - Situate the I Ching within its historical and cultural context - Interpret the hexagrams and utilize various divination methods, such as yarrow stalk, coin toss, cowrie shells, and rice grains - Work with the I Ching for personal guidance and developing intuitive wisdom - Understand correspondences of Taoist mystical tradition with other schools of metaphysics, including shamanism, faith healing, and soul retrieval - Approach the Book of Changes as a grimoire and attain a foundational understanding of the eight trigrams and Wu Xing five alchemical phases Whether you’re new to the I Ching or an experienced occultist, I Ching, The Oracle will deepen your understanding of esoteric Taoism and the art and craft of divination. Highlighting the two main schools of interpretation—Image and Numbers and Meanings and Principles—and exploring Taoist cosmology, mysticism, ritual practice, and the shamanic origins of the I Ching, Wen provides you with everything you need to apply the I Ching for life guidance, spiritual practice, and ancestral connection.

    Summary:
    The companion workbook to Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy—a practical guide to the 5 pillars of embodied IFS for trauma therapists, Somatic Experiencing™ practitioners, and mental health healers With embodied exercises, foundational knowledge, and practical guidance, The Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy Workbook shows therapists and clinicians how to embody the five practices of Somatic IFS: somatic awareness, conscious breathing, radical resonance, mindful movement and attuned touch. Each works together to facilitate trauma healing with clients and build embodied safety, integrate unresolved harm, and develop the ability to name, process, and understand emotional and somatic sensations. The workbook opens by inviting the therapist to explore their own Internal System, offering an embodied approach to experiencing the model. Chapter 1 explores and explains foundational concepts like somatics; embodiment; Parts; Self; and the cultural influences that shape and shift our embodied experiences. Chapters 2 - 6 move into theoretical grounding, clinical applications, and practical exercises for each of the five principles. They offer tools to: - Develop clients' ability to name, describe, and convey sensations - Recognize and track for signs of client overwhelm - Work with Parts that fear body awareness - Understand the purpose and clinical benefits of conscious breathing - Restore the Embodied Self - Explore therapeutic shifts from doing to to being with clients - Heal attachment wounds - Integrate mindful movement into healing developmental trauma - Understand and practice attuned touch Each practice is designed to be used whenever it will be of benefit: the tools and exercises are non-linear and adaptable, and aren’t limited by a prescriptive sequence. The workbook also explores links between current psychotherapeutic practice and ancient healing modalities, grounding SIFS in a larger web of effective somatic trauma healing and embodiment approaches.

    Summary:
    A revolutionary 3-part model for dismantling shame: integrate trauma, unlearn self-blame, and reclaim your personal power For readers of Brené Brown, Curt Thompson, and Tara Brach We’re sold the idea that shame serves a purpose: it must protect us from something…otherwise it wouldn’t be there. Right? Not really. In Unshamed, author, mental health expert, and professor David Bedrick reveals that there really is no good “use” for shame—and offers a revolutionary model to dismantle it. He shows how shame affects us all…and often in ways we might not expect. Shame connects to our struggles, our relationships, how we show up in the world, and how the world shows up (or fails to) for us. So how we can shed our shame, integrate our trauma, and unleash the personal power, efficacy, and confidence that are our birthright? Bedrick breaks it down in three parts: - Respect: how the practice of witnessing can help us be fully seen, heard, and held—and what that can do for our self-power and self-esteem - Relating: how to restore our sense of mattering—especially when our hurt, neglect, or trauma shows up as shame - Radical belief: how we can reclaim our voice, experiences, and embodied truths by owning our authority, autonomy, and authentic needs without projecting our shame and trauma onto others Bedrick explores the roots of shame, sharing the connections between trauma, shame, and experiential validation—and explains how shame shows up when woundedness isn’t seen, held, and appreciated by ourselves and our loved ones. He helps us understand the role of boundaries in healing from shame; how shame impacts our physical health and wellness; how to unshame disturbing feelings; and the interconnections among body, social issues, shame, and abuse. With exercises, profound insights, case studies, and psychological science, Unshamed is an easy-to-understand guide to breaking shame down for good.

    Summary:
    A rigorously researched biography of the founder of modern magick, as well as a study of the occult, sexuality, Eastern religion, and more The name “Aleister Crowley” instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences—and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than “the Beast,” as this authoritative biography shows. Perdurabo—entitled after the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—traces Crowley’s remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world’s foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself); is attacked for his practice of “the black arts”; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day. Based on Richard Kaczynski’s twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.

    Summary:
    Why do churches need a disciplemaking culture? At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us―a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite. Justin Gravitt wrote The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture to help you lay the groundwork for a disciplemaking movement in your church. In this powerful, to-the-point resource, you will learn how to: - identify and train other disciplemakers who share your passion and vision - build shared ownership and excitement for making disciples who make disciples - maintain momentum that spreads from your core team into the community - re-vision your church culture around the gospel priority of disciplemaking. A culture of disciplemaking is built and supported by a disciplemaking foundation. This audiobook will equip you with the tools and strategies you need to take the next step in God’s mission.

    Publisher: North Atlantic Books
    Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases, Christianity, General

    Summary:
    A courageous, vulnerable, and spellbinding memoir that explores with visceral impact what happens when harm starts at home—and is exalted as God’s will. For readers of Unfollow and Jesus Land, You Lied to Me About God explores spiritual abuse, intergenerational trauma, and weaponized faith At nine years old, Jamie Marich asked God to end it all. Doing it herself would be an irrevocable sin: an affront to the church and her father’s God. She prayed instead for the rapture, an accident, a passive death—anything to stop the turmoil of feeling wrong: wrong in her body; wrong in her desires; wrong in her faith in a merciful God that could love her wholly as she was. You Lied to Me About God explores the schisms that erupt when faith is weaponized, when abuse collides with the push-and-pull of a mixed religious upbringing tyhat tells you: no matter which path you choose—no matter what you know in your heart to be true—you’re probably damned. With resilience, strength, and gut-punching clarity, Marich takes readers through a tumultuous coming-of-age marked by addiction, escapism, spiritual manipulation, misogyny, and abuse. She shares with unflinching detail the complicity of her mother’s silence and the lengths her father went to assert dominance and control over her body, her desires, her identity—and even her eternal soul—”for her own good” and with a side of televangelistic hellfire. Hitting a breaking point, Marich embarks on pilgrimage: from shrines in Croatia to ashrams in Florida, she reckons with what it means to come home to a faith that heals and accepts her wholly as she is: in her queerness, in her body, and in her deep relationship to an expansive and loving God.
