Discover an empowering new way of understanding your multifaceted mind--and healing the many parts that make you who you are.

Is there just one you? We've been taught to believe we have a single identity, and to feel fear or shame when we can't control the inner voices that don't match the ideal of who we think we should be. Yet Dr. Richard Schwartz's research now challenges this mono-mind theory. All of us are born with many sub-minds--or parts, says Dr. Schwartz. These parts are not imaginary or symbolic. They are individuals who exist as an internal family within us--and the key to health and happiness is to honor, understand, and love every part.

Dr. Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades. With No Bad Parts, you'll learn why IFS has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery, addiction therapy, and depression treatment--and how this new understanding of consciousness has the potential to radically change our lives. Here you'll explore:

- The IFS revolution--how honoring and communicating with our parts changes our approach to mental wellness
- Overturning the cultural, scientific, and spiritual assumptions that reinforce an outdated mono-mind model
- The ego, the inner critic, the saboteur--making these often-maligned parts into powerful allies
- Burdens--why our parts become distorted and stuck in childhood traumas and cultural beliefs
- How IFS demonstrates human goodness by revealing that there are no bad parts
- The Self--discover your wise, compassionate essence of goodness that is the source of healing and harmony
- Exercises for mapping your parts, accessing the Self, working with a challenging protector, identifying each part's triggers, and more

IFS is a paradigm-changing model because it gives us a powerful approach for healing ourselves, our culture, and our planet. As Dr. Schwartz teaches, Our parts can sometimes be disruptive or harmful, but once they're unburdened, they return to their essential goodness. When we learn to love all our parts, we can learn to love all people--and that will contribute to healing the world.

When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form, says Megan Devine. It is a natural and sane response to loss.

So, why does our culture treat grief like a disease to be cured as quickly as possible?

In It's OK That You're Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we try to help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides--as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner--Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, happy life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. In this compelling and heartful book, you'll learn:

- Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief
- How challenging the myths of grief--doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold--allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve
- Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to fix your pain
- How to help the people you love--with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process

Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to solve grief. Megan writes, Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution. Through stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices, she offers a unique guide through an experience we all must face--in our personal lives, in the lives of those we love, and in the wider world.

It's OK That You're Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves--and each other--better.

A bold guide for connecting across differences--even those that seem impossible

Wise and visionary, powell helps us find the courage to forge connections with others, the earth, and ourselves in order to transform the world from the inside out. --Valarie Kaur, bestselling author of See No Stranger and Sage Warrior

We don't want to live in a society in turmoil. In fact, 93 percent of people in the US want to reduce divisiveness, and 86 percent believe it's possible to disagree in a healthy way. Yet with increasing political and social fragmentation, many of us don't know how to move past our differences. Civil rights scholar john a. powell presents an actionable path through bridging that helps us communicate, coexist, and imagine a new story for our shared future where we all belong.

With inimitable warmth and vision, powell offers a framework for building cohesion and solidarity between disparate beliefs and backgrounds. Bridging is more than a discrete list of actions to follow--it's a mindset we can develop to help us foster belonging and connection. Key elements of the bridging mindset include:

- Understanding how deeply othering shapes our world, priming us to see difference of any kind--race, gender, political orientation, etcetera--as a threat
- Identifying where breaking happens, when people are excluded or treated differently for being perceived as other
- Embracing belonging as one of our core human needs--we all want to feel seen, valued, and appreciated just as we are
- Committing ourselves to treat all people like they belong
- Allowing ourselves grace when we inevitably fall short--and resolving to try again

Throughout the book, powell shares personal reflections as well as practices to help you begin bridging wherever you are--in your community, friendships, family, workplace--even with those whom you might never have imagined you could find common ground.

Bridging is a salve for our fractured world, powell says. We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences, transcending the notion that difference divides us, and instead cocreate a world where everyone belongs.

A groundbreaking approach for practicing courageous love and resilient intimacy--from the creator of Internal Family Systems therapy

Do loving relationships end because couples lack communication skills, struggle to empathize, and fail to accommodate each other's needs? That's a common belief within and outside of the therapeutic world... but what if it's all wrong? In You Are the One You've Been Waiting For, Dr. Richard Schwartz, the celebrated founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, offers a new way--a path toward courageous love that replaces the striving, dependent, and disconnected approach to solving relationship challenges.

The breakthrough realization of IFS is that our psyche contains multiple parts, each with a life of its own. Most problems in relationships arise because we unknowingly burden our partner with the task of caring for our disowned and unloved parts. In this book, you'll discover essential insights and tools to foster healthy dialogue with your parts and your partner, including:

- How to recognize and disarm the cultural assumptions that create shame, guilt, and isolation in relationships
- The Three Projects--why we fool ourselves into thinking we must change our partner, change ourselves, or give up on true intimacy
- Finding and Healing Exiles--transforming the way our most vulnerable parts influence the way we treat each other
- How to reorient relationship conflicts to help each of us grow toward the Self--the center of our clarity and wisdom
- Courageous Love--building resilient intimacy with each other and our parts to create healthy, lasting partnerships

No one can do the work of healing our orphaned parts for us, says Dr. Schwartz. Yet when we begin with Self-leadership, a relationship can become a safe place in which we help each other heal and grow. Here is an invaluable guide for therapists and laypersons alike to promote connection, trust, and understanding--within yourself and with the one you love.

The only official workbook from Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems, to meet, understand, and heal the parts of yourself

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model teaches that each of us is not a single personality. Rather, we carry in us a family of distinct inner parts that hold our many hurts and conflicts―and that we can heal in order to live with more confidence, courage, and connection. With The Internal Family Systems Workbook, Dr. Schwartz presents an invaluable tool to help you learn about IFS and apply it to your own life--on your own time and at your own pace.

Opening with a beginner-friendly overview of IFS, the workbook offers more than 50 practices, exercises, and meditations to help you:
- Understand the parts that make up your system, including Manager parts that want to keep you out of uncomfortable situations and Firefighter parts that react to painful emotions and events
- Extend compassion to each part as you begin to understand how they're trying to support you
- Learn strategies to stay calm and navigate anxiety when your parts are activated, allowing you to face challenging situations with courage
- Explore ways to heal past wounds and trauma
- Uncover your core Self that is the source of your deepest wisdom

Throughout the workbook, you'll find a variety of exercises to support different learning styles, as well as QR codes for guided audio meditations read by Dr. Schwartz to further bolster your journey.

IFS has proven to be a revolutionary tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, disordered eating, relationships, and more. As Dr. Schwartz writes, IFS changes lives. Now it is your turn to experience this transformative tool for yourself. You and all your parts are welcome here.

A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner parts into harmony and allows our core Self to lead

We're all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgment--yet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartz's breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an internal family of distinct parts--and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal.

Over the past two decades, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS presents the ideal layperson's guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery and healing. Here, Dr. Schwartz shares evidence, case studies, and self-care tools to help you:

- Shift from the limiting mono-mind paradigm into an appreciation of your marvelous, multidimensional nature
- Unburden your wounded parts from extreme beliefs, emotions, and addictions
- Demystify the most commonly misunderstood parts--the Exiles, Managers, and Firefighters
- Transform your most challenging parts from inner obstacles to invaluable allies
- Embrace the existence of innate human goodness--in yourself and others
- Connect with the true Self that is greater than the sum of your parts

The most wonderful discovery I have made is that as you do this work, you release, or liberate, what I call your Self or your True Self--the calm, compassionate essence of who you are, says Dr. Schwartz. When the Self becomes the leading intelligence in our lives, we create more harmony--both within ourselves and in our external lives. For therapists, their clients, and anyone interested in understanding and healing themselves, here is an essential guide to a revolutionary approach to self-realization, mental wellness, and transformation.

An empowering new take on codependent behavior, revealing the underlying reasons we struggle with doing it all--and the path to recovery and freedom.

Are you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam?

Do you regularly accommodate others' needs and preferences?

Does it feel like chaos will ensue if you don't handle the travel plans, divvy up the check at group dinners, sort out your friend's latest crisis, and so on?

If these questions resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the over-giving, over-extending individuals struggling with what psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole has termed high-functioning codependency (HFC).

When you hear the word codependent, you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. Terri certainly did. But after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model.

The ironic truth with HFC is that the more capable you are the more codependency doesn't look like codependency.

In Too Much, you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint (or why you relate to others the way you do), the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency, practice real self-care, and much more.

Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments, and exercises to help you transform how you see yourself and the world, avoid relapses, and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way.

How you feel, what you think, what you want matters. In fact, those things need to matter to you the most, writes Terri. By choosing the path of healing and recovery, you are coming home to yourself. Here is a book for making the shift from too much to just right, so you can live a life that's full of authenticity, freedom, and joy.

Discover your body's neural pathways to calmness, safety, and connection.

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet--these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting and start responding to the world with greater safety and ease: Polyvagal Theory.

In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of Polyvagal Theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body. Using field-tested techniques, Dana helps you master the skills to become more aware of your nervous system moment to moment--and change the way you respond to the great and small challenges of life.

Here, you'll explore:

- Polyvagal Theory--get to know the biology and function of your vagus nerve, the highway of the nervous system
- Befriending Your Nervous System--attune to what's going on in your body by developing your neuroception
- Using Your Vagal Brake--discover key techniques to consciously regulate the intensity of your emotions
- Connection and Protection--learn to recognize and influence your internal cues for safety and danger
- Your Social Engagement System--find ways to create nourishing relationships with others and the world around you
- Practices and guidance to gently shape your nervous system for greater resilience, intuition, safety, and wonder

Through guided imagery, meditation, self-inquiry, and more, Anchored offers a practical user's manual for moving from a place of fear and panic into a grounded space of balance and confidence. Once we know how our nervous system works, we can work with it, teaches Deb Dana. We can learn to access an embodied, biological resource that is always present, available, and there to guide us toward well-being.

An unprecedented, dreamwork-centered guide for exploring and understanding your dreams, presented by three Jungian analysts and the hosts of the podcast This Jungian Life

With Dream Wise, three expert teachers bring you a resource like none before it--a comprehensive, step-by-step guide synthesizing Carl Jung's renowned theories with the best approaches of those who have followed in his footsteps. Ideal for every level of experience, Dream Wise is for all who are ready to meet the faithful other, the dream maker, who visits each night with gifts of wisdom.

The goal is to do dreamwork, not just learn about it...

Your dreams offer a wealth of wisdom and wonder, explain the authors. They are one of the best, most reliable ways to get to know our mysterious depths. But you must--quite literally--rise to meet them. Sustained dreamwork facilitates a dialogue between the surface and the depths and is an essential aid in our process of unfolding.

In Dream Wise, Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee transform the most useful dreamwork concepts and principles into a unique series of 69 keys to unlock the meaning of your dreams, illuminating:

- How dreamwork assists us on the path of becoming whole (what Jung called individuation)
- The three levels of dream imagery: personal associations, factual explanations, and archetypal amplifications
- The shadow--the unconscious, unwelcome aspects of yourself that you can meet and integrate with the help of your dreams
- Animus/anima--the personification of our unrealized possibilities that urges us toward our highest destiny
- The practice of active imagination, Jung's signature technique for psychological healing and growth
- How to interpret your dreams--including case examples from the authors' professional practices, 16 daily strategies to boost dream recall, insights into the structure and dynamics of your dreams, and more

Working with dreams requires flexibility, fluidity, and fluency in the symbolic, but above all, it should be enlivening, say the authors. Dream Wise gives you a trustworthy map for exploring the vast reaches of your dreams... an exciting new path to creativity and healing... and a faithful compass to your true becoming.

What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain, says Judith Orloff, MD. But for empaths it goes much further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have. With The Empath's Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers a practical tool set to help sensitive people develop healthy coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world--while fully embracing the empath's gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.

This practical, empowering, and loving book was created to support empaths and anyone who wants to develop their sensitivities to become more caring people in an often-insensitive world. It helps empaths through their unique challenges and gives loved ones a better understanding of the needs and gifts of the sensitive people in their lives. In this book Dr. Orloff offers crucial practices, including:

- Self-assessment exercises to help you identify your empath type
- Tools for protecting yourself from sensory overload, exhaustion, addictions, and compassion fatigue while replenishing your vital energy
- Simple and effective strategies to stop absorbing stress and physical symptoms from others and protect yourself from narcissists and other energy vampires
- How to find the right work and create relationships that nourish you
- How to navigate intimate relationships without feeling overwhelmed
- Guidance for parenting and raising empathic children
- Awakening the empath's gift of intuition and deepening your spiritual connection to all living beings

For any sensitive person who's been told to grow a thick skin, this paperback edition of The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for staying fully open while building resilience, exploring your gifts of depth and compassion, and feeling welcome and valued by a world that desperately needs what you have to offer.

From internationally celebrated Qi Gong master and beloved television personality Lee Holden comes a transformative journey filled with wisdom and practices on the power of slowing down for spiritual balance and peace amid modern chaos.

You don't have time not to slow down. In the face of burnout, lack of passion, and endless to-do lists, what if to achieve more you need to do less? There's too much at stake not to slow down, shares Qi Gong master Lee Holden. By slowing down, you'll gain time, energy, focus, and clarity. The idea that slowing down can lead to more productivity may sound too good to be true, but research confirms it does this and more--if only we can figure out a way to apply it in our everyday lives.

In this transformative guide, Holden shares the Slow Method, principles of slow mind, body, and relationships drawn from the philosophical wisdom of Eastern meditation, martial arts, and philosophies and merged with Western science. The resulting practices offer ways to access the magical benefits of slowing down to create lasting change in your life and the lives of those you love.

Here you'll gain tools and insights for taking the space and time to practice:
- Primal shaking for stress relief or gratitude meditation for the mind
- Vagal breathing, optimal digestion acupressure, and in-the-moment nature methods for the body
- Heartful self-connection, conscious communication, and sexual reflexology for relationships and connecting deeply with those you love
- And more!

No matter which practices you decide to focus on, you'll be learning the power of slow, something that's vital to rediscover our zest for life. Instead of picking up the not-so-pleasurable energies of stress, anxiety, and whirlwinds of negativity, you'll learn to acquire more of the energy you actually want: peace, love, vitality, health, healing, tranquility, connection, and general positivity. With small, incremental changes to the way you live and relate, you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of how to slow down. You'll increasingly embrace life's rhythms along the way as you cultivate and absorb the life-giving energy that we're all in dire need of.

A powerful formula that brings together ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science to live more vibrantly as we age

This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to age with vitality. --Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Young Forever

Esteemed Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh invites us to reframe our approach to aging through The Longevity Formula--boosting longevity by reducing inflammation and increasing cellular repair. This approach to increasing our health span isn't complicated, and it doesn't require expensive tests or procedures. Instead, it offers simple, science-backed practices based in the time-honored tradition of Ayurveda.

Dr. Kumar-Singh has experienced the power of these practices herself. During her successful career as an emergency room doctor, she suffered a health crisis that Western medicine couldn't fully resolve. In her search for answers, she returned to Ayurveda, the healing tradition of her South Asian roots. Ayurveda is a holistic system that shows us how to live in harmony with nature, with its daily and seasonal rhythms. It's complementary with Western medicine, and it honors aging as a time of vitality and wisdom. Dr. Kumar-Singh offers an accessible introduction to Ayurveda and how it supports the mechanisms of aging. Throughout the book, she shares accessible yet potent practices that will help you:

- Replenish your tissues to support memory and mood, reduce chronic pain, and strengthen muscle and bone
- Remove toxins that contribute to chronic disease through simple daily routines
- Add and move prana (energy or life force) through breathing and movement
- Sync with nature to understand your body's clock and how it supports your sleep, eating, and exercise
- Feed your system, nourishing not only your body but also your mind and soul

These practices don't require complicated equipment, expensive ingredients, or prior experience with Ayurveda. As Dr. Kumar-Singh writes, The essence of Ayurveda is that we are not separate from nature. When we live in harmony with nature, we have optimal and vibrant health. With this fundamental principle, she shows us how to build gradual and sustainable habits to support our physical, emotional, and spiritual health as we age.

From Indigenous scholar Yuria Celidwen comes a first-of-its-kind book about our aspiration for sustainable, collective flourishing through Indigenous wisdom, traditions, and practices that bridge Indigenous and Western knowledges and ways.

How do we cultivate happiness? When facing the monumental challenges of our world, we often end up disconnecting in order to focus on our mental health. Dr. Yuria Celidwen explains this focus on our own state of mind alone is precisely why so many of us struggle to flourish. What's been overlooked is the Indigenous perspective of relationality, she says. It is the understanding that happiness is only possible in community, when we cultivate our relationships toward all kin, from human to more-than-human, and to our living Earth.

Dr. Celidwen's research shows the tremendous benefit of integrating Indigenous approaches into our approach to well-being, while recognizing the gains made by Western positive psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience. In Flourishing Kin, she identifies seven key principles found in Indigenous cultures worldwide that embrace virtue, ethical living, and spirituality. Each principle--Kin Relationality, Body Seed, Senshine, Heartfelt Wisdom, Ecological Belonging, Collective Well-Being, and Reemergence--is a seed to flourishing kin, and reveals how we can overcome isolation and climate anxiety, nourish healthy relationships with our communities and environment, and build strong foundations of well-being that elevate our life choices for the benefit of our whole planet.

Sustainable collective flourishing goes beyond optimism or resilience. Offering opportunities for exploration, reflection, and personalized insight, here you'll find shared storytelling, cultural tradition, and other forms of enhanced contemplative practice like ritual, music, movement, and art to support your journey. Through poetic expression and authentic truth telling, Dr. Celidwen invites us to experience a path to fulfillment that allows us to meet the world in all its complexity with reverence and joyous commitment to participate in the flourishing of all living beings.

The gateways to wonder and delight are flung open wide for all to enter. At once a beautiful love song and an encyclopedia of yogic techniques, the cherished text known as the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra shimmers with new effulgence in Lorin Roche's The Radiance Sutras. Lorin brings us his unique perspective on each of 112 Sanskrit teachings, along with his one-of-a-kind guidance in how to meditate with, embody, and practice them--what he describes as answering the call of the sutras you love.

Here is an invitation to experience directly the ecstatic depths of yoga as revealed by the divine partners Shiva and Shakti, through an intimate exploration of:

The divinity that is permeating your body at this very moment
- The alchemical power of Sanskrit
- Yoga meditation--harmonizing all the elements and levels of your being
- The depths of your connection to the energies of life
Taken as a whole, this teaching is startling in its breadth and the huge range of human experience that it encompasses. This is a book to savor one phrase at a time, over a period of days or years or a lifetime. With The Radiance Sutras, yoga and meditation students everywhere can nurture their own relationship with these living wisdom teachings.

If you're looking to get still, turn inward, and learn to trust your voice, this is the book for you. --Alexandra Elle, New York Times bestselling author of How We Heal

The seasons and cycles of nature have incredible power to affect everything in our lives--especially our creativity, says poet Jacqueline Suskin. The Earth shows us when our creative reserves might wax and wane. When we listen and follow nature's lead, we tune in to an inexhaustible source of imagination, inspiration, and beauty. With A Year in Practice, this inspiring teacher shares holistic practices to help creatives of all sorts access the limitless potential that flows with the rhythms of nature.
Set in sync with the progression of the seasons, A Year in Practice is a program of techniques and journaling prompts to guide the creative seeker all year long. Four seasonally themed chapters keep you connected to natural phases of creative contraction and expansion:
- Winter invites restoration so you can come back to your craft with renewed energy- Spring is a time of balance, focusing on the magic of emergence while embodying discretion- Summer is the season of togetherness, instilling confidence to bring our creations into the light- Autumn asks us to turn back toward ourselves as we prepare for another winter of introspection
Used regularly, you will move through creative blocks, deepen your capacity for self-reflection, expand imaginative growth, and find new levels of inspiration and contentment.
It's crucial that we spend time dreaming, crafting, and resting in a state of reverie, says Suskin. Here she offers practical tools and creative customs to help you tune in to the energies of each season--to enrich your creativity through playfulness, emotional expression, explorative whimsy, and ever-deepening levels of imagination.

From ancestral healing expert Pānquetzani comes traditional Indigenous wisdom for helping women thrive in, rather than merely survive, the postpartum experience.

Though we now have more resources for ancestral birthing and self-care practices than ever, postpartum care is still largely stuck in an outdated, patriarchal paradigm that fails to serve mothers and newborns. Slowing down, recovering fully, and giving your baby the best start isn't a privilege--it's a basic human need, says Pānquetzani, a leading expert in Indigenous health care for women. In Thriving Postpartum, she shares the sacred ritual of la cuarentena (or quarantine) that honors, nurtures, and empowers a birthing person's transition into their new life. Here, you'll find guidance on:

- Herbal recipes and 25 yerbas for postpartum healing
- Newborn and immediate postpartum care
- Sacred foods in la cuarentena
- Bodywork
- Your emotional body in la cuarentena
- Sex, pleasure, and intimacy postpartum

Pānquetzani teaches this 40-day journey as a spiritual rite of passage, one that has endured colonization and supported women in Mesoamerican, Mexican, and Central American communities. She shares everything you'll need--from ancestral recipes for lactation and replenishing, to prayers and somatic practices for physical, emotional, and sexual recovery. Through traditional stories and practical guidance, she also helps you engage your support network, become your own best advocate, and lay a healthy foundation for the years to come.

This wisdom has come from my familia and is a direct inheritance from our collective body of knowledge, says Pānquetzani. Imparted with love, tenderness, and respect, here is an invitation to participate in a rich tradition that celebrates birth and motherhood as sacred acts of creation.

An intimate dialogue between two friends and luminaries on love, death, and the spiritual path, with guidance for the end-of-life journey

We all sit on the edge of a mystery. We have only known this life, so dying scares us--and we are all dying. But what if dying is perfectly safe? What would it look like if you could approach dying with curiosity and love, in service of other beings? What if dying is the ultimate spiritual practice?

Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush began their friendship more than four decades ago at the foot of their guru, Neem Karoli Baba, also known as Maharaj-ji. He transmitted to them a simple philosophy: love everyone, tell the truth, and give up attachment to material things. A year before Ram Dass passed, he reunited with Bush for an intimate dialogue--which became Walking Each Other Home.

In this extraordinary book, you'll hear from two beloved teachers about the spiritual opportunities within the dying process. They generously share intimate personal experiences and timeless practices with courage, humor, and heart, gently exploring every aspect of this journey. Here you'll learn about guidelines for being a loving rock for the dying, how to grieve fully and authentically, how to transform a fear of death, leaving a spiritual legacy, creating a sacred space for dying, and much more.

Everybody you have ever loved is a part of the fabric of your being now, says Ram Dass. The body may die, but the soul remains. Death is an invitation to a new kind of relationship, in the place where we are all One. Join these two lifelong friends and spiritual luminaries as they explore what it means to live and die consciously, remember who we really are, and illuminate the path we walk together.

In Alphabreaths, children will learn their ABCs and the basics of mindfulness through playful breathing exercises. Breaths like Mountain Breath and Redwood Breath will connect them with nature, while breaths like Heart Breath and Wish Breath will help them remember to fill their heart with gratitude and send good wishes to others.

Simple, playful, and with delightful illustrations, Alphabreaths is the perfect introduction to mindfulness and breath awareness.

A guide to understand and befriend your unique nervous system--and find your way back to safety and calm in times of stress

We live in stressful times. When we're anxious and overwhelmed, our nervous systems--and our lives--suffer. We can't eliminate all of life's difficulties, but The Nervous System Workbook can teach you how to find more well-being amidst it all, starting inside your own body.

Deb Dana, a leading expert in Polyvagal Theory, shares incredibly effective tools for getting to know your system. She writes, No two nervous systems are exactly alike, and getting to know how your nervous system works leads you along the path to becoming an active operator of your own system, no matter how it is wired.

Step-by-step, Dana takes you through more than 50 short practices and exercises that teach you:

- How your personal nervous system responds--to what's happening outside you, to what's happening inside you, and how you communicate with others' systems
- How to recognize when you're in a state of distress
- What helps you feel calm and centered
- Why co-regulation--connecting with others--can support your sense of security
- Strategies to find more safety and ease within yourself

QR codes throughout the book point to bonus audio practices guided by Dana.

As Dana writes, When you learn to befriend the nervous system, you'll move through the world in a new way and experience the powerful benefits that come with finding your personal pathways to calm and freedom.
