The Forgotten Dance - Reclaiming...

Kara Sparr

In The Forgotten Dance, Kara Sparr invites us into a powerful remembering of what was lost when we abandoned the sacred polarity between the masculine and feminine. Weaving cultural critique, ancestral wisdom, this book explores how modern society has eroded our connection to identity, intimacy, and purpose and how we might rebuild. With clarity, tenderness, and courage, Kara reclaims motherhood, reveres fatherhood, and reimagines love not as performance, but as devotion.

Running on Empty - 18000 Miles...

Guy Deacon

'An immense feat of endurance, a remarkable achievement, and a truly inspirational adventure filled with courage and hope' – Sir Ranulph Fiennes
At the age of sixty, and having lived with Parkinson’s disease for over ten years, Guy Deacon CBE set out on one last adventure: to drive solo from his home in the UK 18,000 miles and through twenty-five countries to Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa. This incredible journey, across Europe and down the full length of Africa, took the former British Army officer over twelve months. Along the way, he broke down five times, underwent one emergency evacuation, and took 3,650 prescription pills.
There are only a handful of vehicles each year which attempt this difficult journey; many never complete it. Ongoing conflicts in Libya, South Sudan, Mozambique and many other countries make any journey exceptionally dangerous. In central Africa, road conditions, particularly in the rainy season, often make the going treacherous. Further hazards include illegal checkpoints, extortion, contaminated fuel and a lack of services.
Guy drove, lived and slept in his VW Transporter, often in remote spots, hundreds of miles from the nearest village or town. Reliant on patchy GPS, he often got lost. His journey was, quite simply, an incredible feat by a man travelling alone with Stage 3 Parkinson’s disease, when simply putting on a pair of shoes can take half an hour.
But not only did Guy’s journey fulfil a childhood dream to drive the length of Africa, his mission was also to raise global awareness of Parkinson’s disease, for which there is currently still no cure.

Crisis coaching with hypnosis

Dr. Nidal Moughrabi, Chris Collins

Who is this hypnosis for:If you feel overwhelmed by a change in your life circumstances (a partner breaking up, confronting illness or loss in the family, a financial crisis, emotional pain from the past)… this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you restore a sense of peace and resourcefulness, an ability to get unstuck and flow again in your life.How it works:When overwhelmed by a life situation, we may feel like "I'm not going to make it through this one".Yet, we all have been through life challenges before and we all have our "success stories" in situations of personal  crisis.We might not remember them, but they are there, in our past. And, fortunately, in our subconscious. These crises of the past and the way we navigated them are stored deep inside of us and hypnosis gives us access to them.Why is this important?Because when we connect to these situations in a hypnosis, we also connect to the natural inner resources we used back then to overcome the difficulties (it might have been strength or intelligence, self-compassion or insight, drive or empathy).More than that, hypnosis can also help us manifest these resources, bringing them forward to the present moment, as support in handling the current challenge.A feeling of confidence grows inside, as the helplessness recedes. Slowly, there is more trust that we can handle the situation and find the right solutions, as we become more and more connected with our inner resilience and natural drive to overcome difficulty.This 40 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis until you sense a feeling of confidence in your abilities has consolidated.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 MoughrabiMedical doctor · Coach for mental self-regulation · HypnotherapistInner stability for stress, anxiety and personal crises

Big Liars - What Psychological...

Drew A. Curtis, Christian L. Hart

This book investigates the science behind "big liars"—those rare people who use lies as their principal way of navigating life. 
 
 
 
Most people are mostly honest, most of the time. And there aren't that many big, pants-on-fire liars in the population overall. But just a few big liars can have an outsized impact on the people around them—ruining personal relationships, bankrupting businesses, and even, when they attain political power, undermining the fabric of society. 
 
 
 
Big Liars explores this small but dangerous group through the lens of psychological science. Fascinating new research gives us insight into the nature of dishonesty and dishonest people, explaining who lies, what types of people lie a lot, how often people lie, how big liars are created, how they operate, how we can recognize them, and how we can avoid being victimized by them. This book has crucial implications for mental health treatment, as well as our efforts to grapple with the effects of big liars—and their big lies—on social movements and society as a whole.
