  This book offers a guided meditation journey to help people recovering from addiction and trauma. The book includes a variety of meditations to help with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 
  Meditation can be defined as a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, body scan or breathing – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. 
  Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. These changes can be long-lasting and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. 
  Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. It can occur when someone experiences an event that threatens their life or safety, or that of someone close to them. Trauma can also occur when someone witnesses or is confronted with events that threaten the physical integrity of others. 
  When it comes to addiction, trauma and recovery, meditation can be a powerful tool. This guided meditation journey can help you to let go of the past, heal your wounds and find inner peace. The first step is to sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Once you are relaxed, begin to visualise a safe place. It can be anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful. Allow yourself to sink into the peacefulness of this place. Breathe in the tranquil energy and feel it flow through your body. Feel your muscles relax and any tension melting away. Now, imagine that you are surrounded by a white light. This light is filled with love, compassion and healing energy. Allow this light to wash over you, filling you with its positive force.  
  This is an example of how we will help you with your challenges.

  A Year of Glory and Gold - 1932...

  The 1930s in Ireland is often thought of as a bleak period of economic stagnation and unemployment. But 1932, hailed by the Irish Press as a 'new era', was an early glimmer of the modernity and success Ireland would later reach: a sequence of events and achievements that included technological advances in travel, agriculture, home appliances and entertainment; Olympic gold medals and the meteoric rise of boxing phenomenon Jack Doyle; a spectacular Eucharistic Congress; sweepstakes and a so called gold rush; as well as the election of Éamon de Valera and transformations in politics and culture.
  The soundtrack scoring all this change was the jazz craze, which landed in Ireland in the early 1930s and flourished throughout the country, loosening the conservative social and moral order of the time. Jazz brought new forms of dress, lifestyle and behaviour, exciting and exhilarating a younger generation for the future, while leaving an older generation wary of such rapid change.
  A Year of Glory and Gold is an energetic and exuberant biography of a bright year in Ireland's history, combining deep archival research with spirited storytelling by one of Ireland's best-loved social historians.

  Medieval Education - The Rise of...

  During the early medieval period, education in Europe was primarily shaped by the influence of the Church. With the decline of the Western Roman Empire, formal education systems deteriorated, leaving monasteries and cathedral schools as the main centers of learning. These institutions preserved classical knowledge and played a crucial role in the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages. Monastic and cathedral schools provided education for clergy members and, over time, expanded their reach to include nobles and, in some cases, commoners. 
  Monastic schools were among the earliest centers of learning, with monks serving as teachers and scribes. These schools focused on religious instruction, teaching Latin, biblical texts, and theological commentaries. The goal was to prepare future clergy members for service in the Church. Monastic scriptoria were responsible for copying and preserving important texts, ensuring the transmission of classical and Christian knowledge. While most students in monastic schools were destined for religious life, some noble families sent their sons for education in literacy and administration, as the Church held significant political influence. 
  Cathedral schools emerged as a response to the growing demand for education beyond monastic settings. They were often attached to large churches or bishoprics and provided instruction to a wider audience, including future clergymen, royal officials, and scholars. These schools offered a more structured curriculum, covering subjects such as grammar, rhetoric, and logic, which formed the foundation of medieval education. Over time, cathedral schools developed into important intellectual hubs, attracting students from various regions. The presence of prominent teachers and scholars helped establish certain cathedral schools as precursors to medieval universities.

  The relationship between the world’s two largest Jewish tribes (in Israel and the United States) is consequential for Jews and for Judaism, but it provides important insights also for Christians – about Jews, Judaism, and Israel, and about America and Christianity. The cultural, sociological, political, and even religious differences that separate Israeli and American Jews highlight the essence of historic and contemporary Judaism. Christian revival always pointed to the Jewish roots of Christianity and of the Christian Bible. Indeed, by gaining a better understanding of Judaism, Christians gain a bette understanding of their own faith and of America’s Judeo-Christian values. 
  This book answers the following questions: 
  -Is Judaism a religion or a nation? 
  -Why are American Jews ambivalent about Israel, whereas Christians support Israel without hesitation? 
  -Why are American Jews losing touch with Judaism, whereas Christians are connecting with their own Jewish roots? 
  -Why are most American Jews liberal-Democrats, whereas most Israelis are conservative? 
  -Why is antisemitism flourishing on the left? 
  -Why is American Jewry demographically stagnant, while Israeli Jewry grows by leaps and bounds? 
  -What is the future of American Jewry and its relationship with Israel?

  A groundbreaking exploration of 500,000 years of African history, cultures, and identity. 
   
   
   
  Historian, archaeologist, and anthropologist Luke Pepera takes us on a personal journey discovering 500,000 years of African history and cultures in order to reclaim and reconnect with this extraordinary heritage. He tackles the question many people of African descent ask—Who are we? Where do we come from? What defines us? And it explores how knowledge of this deeper history might affect current understandings of African identity. 
   
   
   
  Through thematically-linked chapters that explore aspects of African identity from nomadic culture and matriarchal society to beliefs about the afterlife and the tradition of oral storytelling, and interwoven with Luke's own experiences of exploring his Ghanaian family history and his personal questions of identity, this is a comprehensive, relevant, and beautifully told new history of Africa, and how it has shaped the world we know today.
