    Who is this hypnosis for:- If you have difficulty falling asleep- or you wake up frequently over the night- or your sleep is simply not restful enough- or you can sleep only with medication and would like a more natural solution… this hypnosis will help.This hypnosis is an easy, gentle way to prepare for falling asleep. At the same time, it will help you experience a deep, restful, regenerating sleep.How it works:So many of us are affected these days by sleeping troubles.Unfortunately, this is bound to be: our world is fast, overloaded with information and constantly stimulated by screens. Thus, our brains are overly activated and less acquainted with the state of non-activity.This "monkey mind" is what keeps us away from a good sleep. Over the night, our brains keep on being busy solving problems. Moreover, our bodies cannot have a good, regenerative rest either – did you notice how an agitated mind matches and agitated body?Fortunately, methods based on hypnosis are very effective.While in themselves, they are very relaxing (4 time stronger than sleep), when specific suggestions for taking a break from thoughts and slipping into a profound, regenerative sleep are added, our mind and body finally gets the break it needs.This is what this 28 min hypnosis does.Play it after you have already laid down in bed and found a comfortable position so that you can easily fall asleep during it or after it ends.My recommendation is to use it for 3 days in a row and feel if it works for you. If it does, continue. The more you do it, the easier it will become for you to relax and fall asleep.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

    A highly accessible and easily adaptable conceptual framework that helps educational leaders plan, leverage, and sustain change as they create more equitable schools. In Navigating Social Justice, Martin Scanlan introduces a comprehensive social justice schema that melds organizational learning with leading for equity. Scanlan distills wisdom gleaned from the experiences of a variety of educational professionals as well as from his own more than three decades of work in equity-focused partnership with elementary schools.  Scanlan's schema brings together five dimensions—inclusivity, communities of practice, critical formation, social ecosystems, and practical wisdom—that work together holistically to eradicate inequitable practices and policies and promote robust teaching and inclusive learning. For each dimension, the book features real-life vignettes that focus the conversation, exercises that encourage reflection, and suggested opportunities for the application of its central ideas. Each chapter also gives access to online tools, extending its utility. The practical guidance offered in this book not only will enable educational institutions to best meet the needs of families and community members but will also help leaders cultivate the moral and intellectual judgment needed to address social justice issues in schools.

    This inspiring story of a post-Katrina classroom “reminds us all that heroes hold small hands on field trips, clean paint brushes, and sing morning songs” (Phillip Done, author of 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny: Life Lessons from Teaching).   As floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina surged at their heels, those fleeing New Orleans had their minds more on safety than on whether their children would be missing school. But when a group of evacuee parents who settled in New Iberia, Louisiana, realized they would not be returning home quickly, they set about reconstructing their families’ lives. And so they turned to beloved New Orleans schoolteacher Paul Reynaud, whose fierce determination and unwavering spirit transformed an abandoned office into a one-room schoolhouse. This is the story of Sugarcane Academy: twenty-five students, their devoted parents, an inspiring teacher, and the boundless power of learning.   “This wonderful memoir manages to do what a flood of news-reporting could not: see the tragedy of Katrina through the eyes of children. The story of the Sugarcane Academy, an improvised one-room school in a sugarcane parish in south Louisiana, will be one of the lasting books of our tragedy.” —Andrei Codrescu, author of New Orleans, Mon Amour: Twenty Years of Writings from the City

    “This powerful book of cultural criticism” by the renowned art historian “shines a harsh light on” a historic city’s destruction in the name of profit (The Washington Post).   What is Venice worth? To whom do its irreplaceable treasures belong? This eloquent book by art historian Salvatore Settis urgently poses these questions, igniting a new debate about urban stewardship and cultural patrimony at large. As Venice grows increasingly unaffordable and inhospitable to its own residents, Venetians are abandoning their hometown at an alarming rate. At last count, there was only one local for every 140 visitors.   As it capitulates to tourists and those who profit from them, Venice’s transformation into a lifeless shell of itself has become emblematic of the future of historic cities everywhere. In this blend of history and cultural analysis, written with wide-ranging erudition and élan, Settis makes a passionate plea to secure the soul of Venice.  “Anyone interested in learning what is really going on in Venice should read this book.” —Donna Leon, author of My Venice and Other Essays and Death at La Fenice
