    The Conscious Enneagram - How to...

    The Enneagram is a powerful tool, with ancient roots and modern appeal, for detailing the human personality. It illuminates the painful truth of where we are and inspires us with the promise of where we could be.As the Enneagram has grown in popularity over the past thirty years, the insights offered have focused either on the present or the future, with little guidance on how to move from Point A to Point B. In The Conscious Enneagram, Abi Robins offers a rich, insightful guide for those seeking to move from patterns to promise.Through practical, easy-to-understand coaching, storytelling, and personal inquiry, Robins explores three main ways for getting from where we are to where we could be: practice, lineage, and community. These make up the three-legged stool of the inner and outer work required to radically change the way we think, feel, and move through the world. This book will show you how to cultivate each of these legs in your life in meaningful, enriching ways that are tailored to your type.

    From strange behaviour to interesting prey-vs.-predator relationships to fantastical creatures, the animal world is full of fascinating facts about our furry, feathered and scaly friends:
    		 
    The wood frog burrows into the leaf litter in winter; its heart, brain and eyeballs freeze, and they defrost again in the spring.
    		 
    In 2006, a hunter shot and killed a hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear, dubbed a grolar or pizzly bear, the first to be found in the wild.
    		 
    The bombardier beetle protects itself by expelling a boiling hot chemical spray from its rear end.
    		 
    A woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it rolls up in the bird’s skull like a tape measure in its case.
    		 
    Rabbits produce two kinds of stool: one that the animal eats, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients, and another that is waste matter.
    		 
    Some clever crows drop nuts onto roadways so that passing vehicles drive over them and break the shells open.
    		 
    The horned lizard defends itself by squirting blood from its eyes.
    		 
    Canada was home to 2.5-metre-long giant sea scorpions 400 million years ago.
    		 
    And so much more…

    If you are struggling with self-love, this meditation will help you tap into the source of love within you and guide you toward a deep acceptance of yourself. 
    If you are here, it means you are on a path toward healing and self-love. Loving yourself is truly the greatest gift you can give yourself and the world because it will allow your authentic self and unique gifts to find expression.  
    Lack of self-love can manifest in different ways in your life. Perhaps, you are constantly harsh on yourself, perhaps you find it hard to forgive yourself or you do not hold space for your own emotions, maybe you stifle your passions and abandon your dreams, maybe you people please and find it hard to say “no” to others. 
    But what is self-love? Why does it come so easily to some and yet seem impossible for others? What does it really mean to love yourself? Why can’t you feel this love for yourself?  
    This guided meditation with soothing music and a calm voice will remind you who you really are.

    Why is stress management needed for women? 
    We believe that more and more women are struggling with stress and are finding it difficult to cope with everyday life. That’s why we’ve created this book. We believe it will provide you with insights and tools to make the changes you want in your life; not just in relation to stress but in many other areas as well. We hope this book will provide you with the tools to develop on a deeper level. 
      
    Statistics show that many women are on sick-leave due to stress. In this book, we have chosen to highlight the differences between the genders as men and women experience and respond to stress quite differently. We also share proven exercises that we as stress therapists use in our daily work with clients. 
      
    You will learn how to: 
    - change your thoughts patterns 
    - get better connected with your feelings and your needs 
    - change unwanted behaviours 
    - improve your quality of life both at work and in your relationships 
      
    We cannot avoid the challenges life throws a us, but we can choose how we handle them. Understanding yourself and creating a better relationship with yourself are vital steps on the way to helping ensure health and well-being. 
      
    Jessica Finn and Michael Sandberg work as stress therapists and lecturers internationally. They are both passionate about helping others to help themselves.
