St. Martin's Essentials / Sounds True – serie

If you've ever experienced a pivotal life event that felt as though it broke you apart and left you struggling to recover, psychologist Laurel Parnell understands. After the tragic death of her son, when expert knowledge in trauma recovery wasn't enough to reclaim her True Self, she embarked on a journey that led to the development of a whole new approach. Multidimensional Integrative Healing (MDIH) is a powerful healing method that integrates transpersonal psychology (looking beyond ego or the sense of self to explore deep spiritual and transcendent experiences), Eastern spiritual practices, and diverse spiritual and energetic traditions of the world. Dr. Parnell also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), her protocol variation focused on individual attachment style. MDIH recognizes there are different dimensions of reality that exist and can be accessed for healing. These include physical, emotional, psychological, somatic, and spiritual. By understanding these various dimensions, we can better align with our inner knowing and innate healing intelligence. Come back to the version of who you know yourself to truly be. MDIH can guide you to access resources that can be called on for help when needed, engage your energetic sovereignty, release energies that don't belong to you, and finally move toward wholeness.

We 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. “The profoundly complex challenges we face demand a new level of human collaboration.”In Attuned, Hübl shares a visionary guide to healing our struggling world. Attuning to a person, group, or organisation 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.By 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 realise the unawakened potential of our world.”

It’s no secret that our attention is fractured. We look for distraction anytime we have a spare moment or feel bored or uncomfortable. We yearn to be fully immersed in the moment - whether for deep work or pleasure - but we have almost forgotten how. The Practice of Attention opens the door to reclaim our focus, so we can be more present with those we love, be more immersed in our work and play, and ultimately live more fully.Beloved artist and teacher Cody Cook-Parrott invites us to join them in building practices that heighten our attention. Beginning with an exploration of what we’re avoiding when we distract ourselves, Cody offers an Attention Audit that helps us understand where we place our focus (and where we lose it) throughout the day and week. After getting a clear understanding of where we are, we can create a schedule and a life with more focus. Being present requires practice, and Cody encourages us to find the practices that resonate most with us, exploring movement, creativity, spiritual practice, being of service, and more. Themes of cultivating curiosity and devotion and letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing are woven throughout.Shifting our attention has profound power on how we experience ourselves and those around us. Cody writes, “This is my wish: that you feel less pull toward your screen and more pull toward your life.”

Most of us live in our heads and miss out on experiencing our bodies as a portal to the present moment and true happiness.

Weave sacred moments into daily life. In this beautiful guide, beloved spiritual teacher Tracee Stanley invites us to inhabit our lives more fully through the power of ritual. Rituals not only mark major life transitions, they also help us find grounding in our everyday lives. Created specifically for householders—people whose responsibilities mean they can’t devote hours to spiritual practice—this book helps us discover and create rituals, including short micro-rituals, that can carry us through our days with meaning and purpose. “Ritual is about the truth that life isn’t perfect,” explains Stanley. “Honoring ourselves in every season and sitting at the altar of life through every cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is important.” Inspired by Hindu philosophy of the four aims of life, Living Ritual is divided into four parts: Rituals of Support, Relationships, Purpose, and Spirit. With each section, Stanley creates a bridge between the mundane and the sacred, allowing our daily actions to be filled with presence and intention.
