  Treat trauma holistically with the combined applications of yoga and polyvagal theory. 
   
   
   
  This book focuses on the intersection of polyvagal theory, yoga, and psychotherapy by weaving together the wisdom tradition of yoga with neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic psychology, and traumatology. The application of polyvagal theory allows practitioners to compassionately support growth by enhancing the health of the autonomic nervous system, while therapeutic yoga allows one to attend to the interrelationships between mind, emotions, physiology, and behavior. 
   
   
   
  Applied polyvagal theory in yoga provides conscious breathing, vagal toning, mindful movement, and meditation practices that aid in rewiring the nervous system. Listeners will discover how to help both clients and themselves cultivate a felt sense of ease during times of safety; enhance their capacity to handle challenges with equanimity; and reclaim their ability to recover from stress swiftly and efficiently. Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga offers practitioners a new and effective way to support clients who are stuck in a trauma response mode.

  This is a book with 4 different topics, all related to the history of Great Britain. The topics are the following: 
  Topic 1: Horatio Nelson can be seen as one of the most courageous, strategic, valiant British generals in history. His tactics in the navy have led their empire to glorious victories in the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. During the wars against Napoleon, the Scandinavians, and in the West Indies, he was an exemplary leader, strategists, and combatant. 
  Topic 2: The Cathars were different from the mainstream Catholic church in the 13th century. They openly rebelled against some of the hypocritical behavior by priests and leaders, and they established their own deviant beliefs according to the best ability of their conscience. 
  Topic 3: From about 1858 to 1947, the British ruled over India. The raj carried out orders and came up with them. There was public mistrust and dissatisfaction about their regime, which led to protests, riots, and controversial events. India was a big part of the British Empire for a long time, until the country gained its independence. Other issues happened with the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani. 
  Topic 4: The Great Fire of London was a massive fire in the ominous year of 1666, which destroyed the homes of more than 80% of the city’s inhabitants, which was around 80,000 people back then. You will also learn about how the city was built up, how other competing countries saw the fire as a good thing, and how Christopher Wren helped rebuild churches and houses when it was all over. Something else was even more disturbing at this time: The Great Plague of London, a horrible scourge which is believed to have killed more than 100,000 people, struck with ills from rats and a lack of hygiene, around the same time.

  The Albigensian Crusade - Heresy...

  The Cathars emerged as one of the most distinctive and controversial religious movements of medieval Europe, particularly in the Languedoc region of modern-day southern France. Rooted in dualist beliefs, the Cathars rejected many of the core teachings of the Catholic Church, viewing the material world as the creation of an evil force and striving for spiritual purity. Their growing influence in the 12th and 13th centuries alarmed both the Church and secular rulers, eventually leading to their violent suppression during the Albigensian Crusade. 
  The origins of Catharism can be traced to earlier dualist traditions, particularly those of the Bogomils in the Balkans. These beliefs likely spread into western Europe through trade routes and missionary activity, finding fertile ground in the tolerant and prosperous culture of Languedoc. Cathar teachings were based on a stark division between the material and spiritual realms. They believed that the physical world was ruled by a malevolent force, often associated with Satan, while the true God presided over the spiritual world. This view led them to reject the Catholic Church, which they saw as corrupt and complicit in the worship of the material. Unlike the Church, which emphasized hierarchical structure, the Cathars maintained a simpler, more egalitarian approach to religious life. 
  Cathar society was structured around two primary groups: the Perfects and the Believers. The Perfects, considered the spiritual elite, led austere lives dedicated to prayer, fasting, and celibacy. They followed strict moral codes, renouncing wealth and worldly pleasures in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Believers, while not held to the same rigorous standards, supported the Perfects and aspired to receive the consolamentum, a ritual that purified the soul before death. Cathars rejected many Catholic sacraments, including baptism by water, believing instead in a form of spiritual baptism.

  The Second Book of John is a book of the New Testament attributed to John the Evangelist, traditionally thought to be the author of the other two epistles of John, and the Gospel of John (though this is disputed). Most modern scholars believe this is not John the Apostle, but in general there is no consensus as to the identity of this person or group.
