  First the skills that come from practical engagement with the psyche. Second, the art of soul-making and its parallel with other arts. Third, a supportive philosophy." 
  This in depth, weekend program recorded with James Hillman in rare form, captures the depth, soul and clarity of the brilliant psychotheorist. 
  This program is a must for the person that is into Jungian Psychology. It is also a rare opportunity to discover and introduce yourself to the timeless wisdom of one of the great thinkers in the modern times. Oh, and there is a lot of laughter along with the learning. Enjoy!

  The Pyramids of Giza -...

  The story of the Pyramids of Giza begins long before the massive limestone structures rose on the western edge of the Nile. To understand their origins, one must look back to the early burial traditions of ancient Egypt, where the desire to honor and protect the dead laid the foundation for increasingly complex funerary architecture. In the earliest periods, Egypt's elite were buried in simple rectangular tombs called mastabas, built from mudbrick and later stone. These low, flat structures served as a prototype for more ambitious designs that would come to define ancient Egypt’s monumental legacy. 
  As the Egyptian state grew more centralized during the Early Dynastic Period and into the Old Kingdom, the architectural evolution of tombs became a symbol of royal power and divine authority. The concept of the king as a god on earth demanded a burial structure that reflected his eternal status. This shift led to the experimentation with stepped designs, culminating in the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, designed by the architect Imhotep during the Third Dynasty. This innovation marked the beginning of the pyramid as a distinct architectural form and demonstrated a newfound mastery of stone construction. 
  With each successive generation, the ambition behind royal tombs expanded. The transition from stepped to smooth-sided pyramids represented not just an aesthetic shift but a symbolic one, intended to reflect the pharaoh's journey to the heavens. By the time the Fourth Dynasty began, kings such as Sneferu pioneered structural advancements, including multiple attempts at pyramid design that culminated in the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. These efforts set the stage for the apex of pyramid construction: the Pyramids of Giza.

  Bringing the benefits of polyvagal theory to listeners through easy-to-implement exercises. 
   
   
   
  Here, for the first time, is a layperson's explanation of polyvagal theory, an approach to mental health and well-being that has taken the clinical world by storm. A polyvagal approach to life is based on the knowledge that the autonomic nervous system is shaped by early experience and reshaped with ongoing experience. This short book will offer an overview for nonspecialists and provide a series of exercises and meditations (practices) that will allow listeners to tune into their nervous systems, providing calming prompts to build and strengthen ventral vagal connections. 
   
   
   
  This book includes a comprehensive chapter on polyvagal theory, preceded by exercises that focus on mapping, reflecting, listening, deepening, creating, and connecting. Listeners who want to change a pattern and find new rhythm for their nervous systems can use this material to work toward those goals.

  The BRAND NEW final instalment in Adam Lofthouse's epic Enemy of the Empire trilogy. ⚔️ If you like Matthew Harffy and Ben Kane, you will love this! 
  And so we have reached the end of my tale. But what are endings if not new beginnings? 
  Alaric has been home for a year. He went north and saved the Cimbri, just as he said he would. But the cost has been higher than he ever thought. A shadow of the War Lord he once was, he now trades in amber and dotes on his children. 
  A simple life. And with it, contentment. But he knew this couldn’t last forever; peace isn’t for someone like him, and sure enough trouble finds him once again. A routine journey south turns into a new and unknown wave of danger as red-cloaked legionaries attack, causing confusion and carnage. 
  Warriors dressed as Romans have been scouring the country, slaughtering innocent people, and leaving Roman footprints wherever they march. But things are not what they seem, and it falls to Alaric to don his armour once more, and march his Ravensworn in pursuit of a mysterious enemy that could destabilise his world beyond repair.

  The Inside Story of Ireland's Pandemic: Every Decision, Every Player, Every Text, Every Leak
  Ireland's lockdowns were among the harshest and longest in Europe. As the state was battered by waves of disease time and again, unparalleled pressures and untold tensions emerged as the country went to war with Covid, and policymakers and politicians did battle with each other.
  How were the key decisions made? Who held all the power?
  Boasting unrivalled access to the key decision-makers and drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and thousands of pages of documents, including confidential and unpublished material, Pandemonium reveals the moves, the power-plays and the – at times jaw-dropping – tactics of a government with the health of a nation in its hands.
  'If a movie is ever made of how Ireland responded to the Covid-19 pandemic, Pandemonium may well provide the script … You will feel as if you were in the room when key conversations happened and decisions were made.' Professor Luke O'Neill
  'Illuminates the corners of institutions usually able to operate in the dark' Fintan O'Toole
  'A page-turner … an exceptional insight' Matt Cooper
  'Unflinching and unrelenting' Dearbhail McDonald
