Summary

A child is born and everything is made anew. In this blur of new beginnings there are tears and laughter, new words and new silences: this is an unmaking and remaking of the self.
From short stories about unnerved fathers and lost mothers, to poems about 'half-built Lego palaces' and friends who share their deepest secrets, Blood & Cord is a raw exploration of new parenthood. Voicing silenced conversations about loss, grief, and loneliness, as well as the joys and laughter that are part and parcel of becoming a parent, the stories told within offer a refreshingly honest account of life after new life.
This collection is a hand in the dark, offering comfort and solidarity to any new parent.
Available since: 05/18/2023.

    A Sounds True Audio Original: Intimate, life-changing programs with the leading voices in spirituality, personal growth, and healing.Bestselling author Caroline Myss was pondering her next body of work when she witnessed a spontaneous act of generosity. A young man, tattooed and pierced, ran to help an older woman with a bundle of packages at the risk of missing his oncoming bus.That act, coupled with her own experience of receiving a helping hand just when she needed it, got Caroline thinking: What are the long-range consequences that result from even the smallest favors offered to others? What really takes place in the energetic field of life when someone responds to someone else in need?On Invisible Acts of Power, this five-time New York Times bestselling author employs her experience as a renowned medical intuitive to answer these questions, explaining why being of service to another person is not an option—it is a biological necessity.

How to recognize the Sacred Contracts that they hold, and translate the messages they bring you•  The electricity of grace—where your currents of prana, or life force, intersect divine intention, and affect every choice you makeAs we move from visible acts, such as caring for a friend, to invisible acts, such as prayer and healing, we act divinely, without desire for credit or reward. Using her own stories and those drawn from her thousands of readers and listeners worldwide, Caroline Myss chronicles the many ways you can create small yet profound miracles, gain a greater sense of spirituality, and transform your life and others' lives in an instant.Please note: This audio program was originally published as Invisible Acts of Power: Personal Choices That Create Miracles in 2001.

    Blowing Out the Darkness takes a new look at emotional management. In reading this book, be prepared for an unusual and thought-provoking challenge as well as practical tools for the management of emotional life issues, especially anger, and rage. The book offers practical tools for the resolution of emotional difficulties, especially those of depression, anger, and rage. Yet the tools are applicable to any emotional issue. It provides an in-depth discussion of the skills one can use in conflict, especially when the other person is non-cooperative. The identification and living of one's values are emphasized. Additionally, the book provides a philosophic and practical perspective on the underlying processes of emotional maturity. It contends that a fundamental loss to our society has occurred with our emphasis on technology and objectivity, with the consequent devaluing of the skills of subjectivity. These skills of subjectivity are explored in detail and proposed as providing a place of healing, both for individuals and for society as a whole. We can live our lives differently; we can have a more effective society.
