Music Therapy
by R. W. Alley Alaric Lewis"If music be the food of love, play on," wrote William Shakespeare. And linking music with food and love is another example of the Bard's genius. Music, after all--like food--has the ability to fill us, to satisfy our hunger, to express our joy, longing, regret, sadness, sheer delight. And, like love, music can touch our hearts and make us aware of people and places and events that have imprinted themselves in our lives with melodies both sweet and sad. "Play on," indeed, as you turn the pages of this little volume!
Music and Mantras: The Yoga of Mindful Singing for Health, Happiness, Peace & Prosperity
by Girish&“Singing is as human as breathing, and this book tells us why.&” —Mark Guarino, contributing music writer, The Guardian Celebrated yogi-musician Girish opens new possibilities for transforming your life through song, combining the ancient art of singing mantra with twenty-first century neuroscience research.For as long as he can remember, Girish has created rhythm to accompany life. His first experience of music as sacred art came in college, playing with jazz bands. “During improvisational sessions,” he recalls, “there were these unexplainable moments of synchronicity and intuition that felt like magic.” This led Girish to an unexpected journey—a seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry. Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a life-changing event that led him back to music—and to combine music with Sanskrit chants. Now he shares what he’s learned to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and traditions to transform body, brain, and life through mantra and music. With Music and Mantras, Girish has created an interactive toolkit—including more than ninety minutes of companion audio material—for personal transformation through singing, sharing his own experience as a musician, yogi, and former Hindu monk. Weaving simple, elegant mantras from ancient traditions with neuroscience, Girish shows us how to achieve greater peace of mind, clarity, calm, focus, and even improved health and wealth through the yogic art of chanting—an ideal practice for singing our way to happiness, health, and prosperity.

Muévase a más: Las sorpesas ilimitadas de un Dios fiel
by Choco De JesusEn el mundo actual la gente está cansada y llena de temores, viven temporadas difíciles en sus vidas. La firme seguridad de que Dios nos ha llamado para una vida abundante nos da la fortaleza, el aliento y la perspectiva necesarios para los tiempos difíciles. Y de la misma manera, esa seguridad nos infunde humildad con cada bendición que recibimos.La gente está cansada, viven temporadas difíciles en sus vidas. Tal vez están batallando con un cónyuge que ha roto las promesas y les ha traicionado, viven bajo un presupuesto muy ajustado o están criando a sus hijos en un hogar sin uno de los padres. Otros están cuidando a un padre enfermo o angustiados ante la pérdida de uno de ellos.Este libro exhorta a los lectores a recordar que hay algo más, que Dios nos ha prometido y planeado una vida más abundante que la que vivimos en estos momentos. Su «más» es infinito; no tiene límite. Su Palabra promete que podemos aprender a vivir en su plenitud. Relatando su historia personal en cuanto a experimentar ese «más», el autor comparte con los lectores que ellos también han sido escogidos por Dios; destinados a vivir en Su plenitud.El autor analiza también ciertos impedimentos específicos que nos impiden llevar una vida abundante, como el temor, las múltiples ocupaciones, las heridas que nos hacemos a nosotros mismos y el egoísmo. Cuando llenamos nuestra vida con lo que nosotros queremos, no le abrimos espacio a ese «más» de Dios, el cual exige también menos de nosotros mismos. Desafiando la mentalidad estadounidense de que «más» se refiere al dinero y a las riquezas, el autor aclara que no se trata de una recompensa («Si yo hago esto, consigo aquello»). Sino que nos da aliento con la verdad bíblica de que Dios, desde el principio, ha planeado que vivamos en su «más», la vida abundante que nace al dar un paso tras otro en obediencia y fidelidad.Cuando aprendas a vivir en el «más» de Dios, sabrás:• Experimentar la plenitud de Dios• Caminar paso a paso, dedicado completamente al presente• Adquirir fortaleza y gozo en medio de las pruebas• Descubrir orden en el caos• Encontrar descanso en medio de las ocupaciones Today people are weary and fearful, living in uncertain and difficult seasons of life. Maybe they’re struggling with a spouse’s broken promises and betrayal, living paycheck-to-paycheck or raising children in a single-parent home. Some are caring for a sick parent or grieving over the loss of one. This book encourages readers that there is something more, and that God has promised and planned a richer, more abundant life than the one they’re living now. His “more” is infinite with no ceiling. His Word promise that we can learn to live in his fullness.Sharing his own life story of experiencing “more,” De Jesús tells readers that they, too, have been marked by God, destined to live in His fullness. Confidently knowing that God has marked us for abundant life gives us the strength, encouragement, and perspective to go through difficult times. In the same way, that confidence instills humility with each blessing.
My 10 Strategies for Integrative Coaching
by Vincent LenhardtThis book gives coaches, and all leaders, the wider perspective and the practical tools to help those they work with to achieve deep and lasting change that generates long-term performance. Who we are, and how we relate to others, is a major factor in the sustainable development of organizations and communities today. The helping relationship--whether as coach, manager, trainer, teacher or leader--is central to developing this capacity to relate--not only to others but also to ourselves. This book provides a series of innovative concepts and practical tools for those involved in helping relationships, as they help others develop and transform. It provides five operational strategies that answers the questions "What should I do?" and "How should I do it?". It then offers four strategies to help a person build their own identity. Finally, it describes a "crystallization" strategy that encompasses all the others, and enables a person to crystalize what has been occurring during the helping relationship. It also provides a unique perspective on the place of coaching in the context of the evolution of our species towards an empathetic civilization, of our society to and beyond the third industrial revolution, and of our companies as they reinvent the way they organize in the 21st century to give greater autonomy to those who work in them and harness the power of participative democracy in the workplace. A central theme of the book is freedom and responsibility. Having found, then fully accepted our freedom, we go beyond freedom, and take the path towards responsibility. Both client and coach chart their path on this journey through the alliance they create, and through which deep meaning is born for both.

My Answer is No . . . If That's Okay with You: How Women Can Say No and (Still) Feel Good About It
by Nanette GartrellAre you afraid you'll hurt the people you care about if you say NO to them? Can you set limits when employees neglect their responsibilities? How about with your boss? When friends ask you to do something you don't want to do, do you invent an elaborate excuse? Do you have a hard time saying NO to an invitation even when you're completely exhausted? Do you have trouble even practicing the sentence "No, Mom, I just can't make it home this holiday"? If any of these scenarios sound familiar, keep reading - you need this book... No is a very simple word -- two letters, one syllable. Yet many women have a hard time saying it without feeling anxious or guilty. In My Answer Is NO...If That's Okay with You, award-winning psychiatrist and author Dr. Nanette Gartrell takes a fresh look at why even the most powerful, accomplished, and successful women find it difficult to say no and offers a revolutionary approach to setting limits without jeopardizing important relationships. Today women are bombarded with messages like "put yourself first" and "stop being a people-pleaser." But this sort of advice is useless to women who value the caring and generosity that prompt them to say yes in the first place. Through personal interviews with a diverse group of talented women, including CEOs, celebrities, physicians, and public officials, Dr. Gartrell shows that women's reluctance to say no stems from valuable traits that they should embrace, such as empathy, sensitivity, and thoughtfulness. With humor and wisdom, Dr. Gartrell reaffirms the psychological importance of compassion and feeling connected, which can often lead a woman to say yes rather than no in order to preserve a relationship or spare someone's feelings. Through entertaining anecdotes and insights from her years of clinical practice, Dr. Gartrell teaches women to honor their best instincts while still maintaining boundaries. My Answer Is NO...If That's Okay with You offers creative, practical ways to transform an automatic or reluctant yes into a healthy, respectful no -- and still feel good about it.
