Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Motherhood is the true hero's journey-which is to say that it can be as harrowing as it is joyful, and enlightening as it is exhausting. For Jungian psychoanalyst Lisa Marchiano, this journey is not just an adventure of diaper bags and parent-teacher conferences, but one of intense self-discovery.In Motherhood, Marchiano draws from a deep well of Jungian analysis and symbolic research to present a collection of fairytales, myths, and fables that evoke the spiritual arc of raising a child from infancy through adulthood. After all, this kind of storytelling has always been one of the most important conduits of humanity's collective wisdom-and Marchiano provides each tale alongside keen insights into the timeless archetypes they represent.Divided into three major segments similar to the stages of a hero's initiatory journey, (Descent, Sojourn, and Return), Motherhood charts how events like pregnancy, the calamities of childhood, and the empty-nest experience are all parts of an odyssey to which every mother receives an invitation. Here Marchiano emphasizes that when you take up that invitation, it will lead to an adventure into the wild frontier of your own soul. And once you return from this inner journey, you'll possess the treasured knowledge need to clarify your values, embrace your disowned parts, and claim the mantle of motherhood in the full bloom of your empowerment. Explore and celebrate the depths of your experience as a parent--from the joyful to the infuriating--in this Jungian guide to the universal wisdom of motherhood.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. While trauma awareness has grown exponentially in recent years, we still tend to treat our response to trauma as a disorder or sign of malfunction. With Unbroken, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald offers an empowering alternative: What if instead of seeing traumatic experience as that which breaks our spirit, we see it as that which proves our spirit cannot be broken?Here, McDonald offers a radical reframing of how we understand trauma-and a profound new approach for healing. According to McDonald, trauma occurs whenever we experience something that shatters our structures of belief about the world and our place within it. When trauma occurs, our miraculous biological systems adapt to help us survive-and sometimes this creates a constellation of mysterious symptoms that persist long after the event. If we can see these initial adaptations as natural strength responses, we come away with a new path to healing. We must tend to our neurobiological systems while we grieve our shattered beliefs and find new meaning, peeling away layers of shame as we go.Through an engaging combination of personal experience, client stories, and practical neuroscience, McDonald helps us better understand how trauma functions in body and spirit, guiding us from coping to growth. At the heart of the book lies a message of hope: trauma is unavoidable-but we are built to handle it. A profound new approach to trauma healing grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this universal experience.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A guide to connecting with your deepest ground-a rootedness that supports authentic psychological healing and embodied spirituality"This beautiful and deeply insightful work invites us to reconnect with our true ground-a place of inner stability and peace that lies beyond fear." -Tara Brach, author of Radical AcceptanceIn John J. Prendergast's decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that's most difficult for people to connect with, given our survival fear and trauma, is our physical and energetic ground. This area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine corresponds with the root chakra in the Indian subtle body tradition, the lower dan tien in Taoism, and the hara in Japanese martial arts. While most spiritual traditions focus on opening the mind and the heart, they tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. Prendergast notes, "It remains largely unconscious and deeply defended."This guide invites you to take a deep dive into your personal, archetypal, and universal ground, and to see through the false ground of your early conditioning and limited identity. Throughout Your Deepest Ground, Prendergast shares:. Profound yet accessible teachings to help you connect with your ground. Sensitive awareness to the trauma we're often holding in this part of our physical and energetic body. Sensing and inquiry practices to work with your own body and life. Authentic anecdotes and conversations drawn from his teaching that show the power of this work in actionBy consciously opening to our ground, we can experience a felt sense of inner safety and stability that supports the full flowering of inner peace, freedom, and loving awareness-a truly embodied spirituality. A guide to connecting with your deepest ground - a rootedness that supports authentic psychological healing and embodied spirituality.

A guide to reading Tarot as a spark for community engagement and social change"A beacon of insight and action." -Nyasha Williams, author of Black Tarot and I Affirm MeThe cards in the Tarot deck offer seventy-eight invitations for change-not only in our inner life, but beyond. Lane Smith invites us to read each card with an eye toward the collective-how we can contribute to liberation in the world.Smith shares, "Behind every story about Tarot-and about the world-are power relationships which are often invisible." 78 Acts of Liberation examines the structure, history, and components of Tarot through the lens of power, helping us better understand power dynamics in our life and in society.After a brief history that highlights often-ignored aspects of Tarot's past, Smith guides us through each card with reflections about clarifying our values and putting them into action. The cards are organized numerologically so that each number corresponds to a type of action, from Ones as Acts of Initiation to Tens as Acts of Generation. Every individual card offers questions for personal reflection and social consideration. Each Major Arcana card is illustrated with an example from a social movement-from the Indigenous Water Protectors to #MeToo-that illuminates how we can put the power of these timeless archetypes into action today. Every Minor Arcana card is linked to a practical and actionable term to know or skill to practice. 78 Acts of Liberation helps us explore:.
