ayudar a tu médico a proteger y mejorar tu salud". Dra. Elsa Lucía Arango ¿Tienes espasmos musculares, ojos secos y acné? ¿Tus menstruaciones son abundantes y dolorosas? ¿Se te cae el pelo, te duelen las rodillas y sufres de fatiga? ¿Estás irritable, tienes insomnio y te cuesta bajar de peso? En la medicina occidental cada síntoma debe tratarlo un especialista diferente, mientras que la Medicina China demuestra que el origen de la enfermedad está en el desequilibrio de un órgano o víscera y los trata directamente. La Medicina China, con 5.000 años de antigüedad, nos enseña que el cuerpo, la mente y las emociones están interrelacionados y son indivisibles: somos un todo y no la suma de las partes. Por eso, los pensamientos y las emociones afectan al cuerpo de la misma forma como los alimentos afectan a la mente. La doctora Lina Rubiano recoge las enseñanzas que recibió de sus maestros en China y capítulo a capítulo revisa las funciones de cada órgano, los síntomas que revelan fallas y las herramientas para revertir el daño a través de terapias milenarias. Con este conocimiento será más fácil despertar la sabiduría de tu cuerpo y su capacidad de sanar.Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal but You're Not Sure You Want To
Par Kelly Cervantes. 2023
None of us make it through life without experiencing loss that leaves us feeling broken. That&’s what makes grief so…
normal.In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn&’t trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She&’s also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. It&’s weird. It sucks. It&’s all-encompassing. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it.Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them. To acknowledge your brokenness and to feel broken together—never pressured to &“move on&” or &“think positive.&”With chapters that can be read in any order, Normal Broken is divided into &“moments&” of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time—such as:When you&’re not sure if you want to heal When your greatest fear is socializingWhen you&’re facing anniversaries and other meaningful datesWhen you&’re ready to be okay Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her, and simple exercises to help you reflect on where you are. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.Your Everyday Nutrition: 100 Answers to the Most Common Questions About Losing Weight, Feeling Great, and Getting Healthy

—Publisher's Weekly As a registered dietitian and a health industry expert, Ilyse Schapiro and Hallie Rich are &“Dear Abby&” meets Sex and the City meets Dr. Oz.

Based on their twenty-five years of combined experience in the health field, Schapiro and Rich are able to cover the multitude of questions that constantly top the list, including: Is eating a wrap healthier than eating a bagel sandwich? Is it time to get on the gluten-free bandwagon? I have salads for lunch every day, and I&’m still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong? I&’m tired of feeling tired. What can I do to lose the urge to snooze? I eat well, so what&’s the point of a multivitamin? They reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. With so much information and so many &“rules&” out there, this book gives readers the tools to sort through the BS and know what is truly important and actually relevant to their health.A holistic method for resolving individual and intergenerational trauma• Explains how the author came to develop her system by integrating…
ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy • Shares stories from her healing work around the world, showing how this system can help resolve PTSD, depression, sexual trauma, addiction, and chronic illness • Presents action steps that readers can take immediately to engage the personal healing process The journey to healing trauma is not always straightforward. As Euphrasia &“Efu&” Nyaki reveals in detail, the healing process is a complex ritual of energy movement on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Born and raised on Mount Kilimanjaro&’s slopes in Tanzania, East Africa, Efu explains how she came to develop her profoundly successful system for helping people heal trauma by integrating ancestral tribal wisdom with a fusion of two Western healing systems: Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy. She shares how her journey to become a healer was initiated by her Grandfather, who told her the legend of the sacred healing snail of the Nyaki clan. She explains how she discovered Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Family Constellations Therapy, and how combining these therapies created a powerful system for releasing cellular memories and healing the intergenerational and collective traumas hidden beneath the surface of suffering. Sharing stories from her healing work around the world, she presents action steps, such as meditations, breathwork, or creating a family tree, that readers can take immediately to regulate their nervous systems, deepen their awareness, and engage the personal healing process. Demonstrating how trauma survivors can transform their suffering into vibrant wholeness, the author shows how healing trauma is the result of bringing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our lives into an integrated coherence.A Journal for Bad Days: Self-Care Strategies to Get Present When Things Aren't Perfect

Par Mary Bond. 2023
An experiential guide to using your body as the focus of contemplative practice• Presents more than 50 physical self-explorations that…
invite you to transform your sensory experience, expand your awareness, and practice embodied presence • Integrates movement theory, neuroscience, fascia research, and personal story to examine the structural foundation of the human body in motion and in stillness • Includes streaming audio and video links for each practice Our physical structure, often known simply as &“posture,&” is shaped by the balance of tension between our bones and soft tissues—fasciae, tendons, muscles, and ligaments—as well as by the mental, emotional, and physical stresses we experience. This tensional integrity, or &“tensegrity,&” along with our sensory experiences, movements, and physical expressions all offer access points for developing fully embodied presence—that is, for engaging the body&’s capacity for perception, expanded awareness, and even spiritual presence. Exploring the profound connections between tensegrity and inner perceptions and awareness, Mary Bond teaches you to unlock your body&’s inner guidance—its somatic wisdom—through a journey of embodiment that will improve your posture in the process. Integrating movement theory, philosophy, neuroscience, fascia research, polyvagal theory, and personal story, Bond reveals how the human body organizes and expresses movement through perception. She looks in depth at the role of the fascial system in transmitting bodily perception, showing how fascia functions as the preeminent organ of embodiment and mind-body connection. She explains the process of internal perception, or &“interoception,&” the body-mind&’s ability to identify, access, understand, and respond appropriately to its internal signals. Offering an experiential understanding of the structural foundation of the human body in motion and in stillness, Bond presents more than 50 self-explorations that allow you to transform your sensory experience, expand your awareness, and make embodiment—your own complex body—the focus of contemplative practice. The author also includes streaming audio and video links for each practice. Inviting you to awaken to the grace and wisdom of your body as a personal mandala that is always available for meditative focus, the author shows how conscious embodiment can help us become more perceptive and more humane beings.The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Ideas to Help Us Change the World

Par Adele Venneri. 2020
An initiatory journey to unite the Feminine and Masculine within your soul and discover the Divine Love within• Reveals how…
Mary Magdalene, Myriam, is not a biblical myth but an ancient frequency of the soul, a reverberation of the alchemy of Feminine and Masculine• Presents ancestral knowledge embedded with the frequency of Myriam through which you can discover your complete soul• Reveals new Akashic rooms where you can become aware of your multidimensionality, learn to create your own reality, and connect with Myriam and feminine and masculine archetypesMany of us are feeling incompleteness at the soul level and experiencing the urgent need to restore the feminine part of our souls. But this missing part cannot be found by looking outside the self, by seeking love from another, whether, romantic, familial, or spiritual. Nor can it be found by replacing masculine energy with feminine. The lack we feel can only be healed by rediscovering Divine Love, the union of Feminine and Masculine, within each of us and activating our memories of who we truly are.Leading you on a step-by-step initiatory journey, Adele Venneri reveals how Mary Magdalene, or Myriam, is not a biblical myth, but an ancient frequency of the soul. She explains how she awakened to Myriam and was transformed from seeking outward love, which only led to suffering, to realizing that true love, true self, comes from within. Through ancestral knowledge, embedded with the frequency of Myriam, the author shows you how to stop judging and forgive yourself, reunite your feminine and your masculine, merge your light body into the physical body, and rediscover your complete soul by embodying the Magdalene frequency. She reveals new Akashic rooms where you can become aware of your multidimensionality, learn to create your own reality, and connect with Myriam and feminine and masculine archetypes.Revealing how to become the love you are rather than the love you seek, how to take on the responsibility for being the Creator of your own life, this alchemical text will transform you through the Magdalene Frequency and teach you at the soul level that you are worthy, you are joy, you are what you have always sought.Tarot Life Lessons: Living Wisdom from the Major Arcana
Par Julia Gordon-Bramer. 2023
Real-life stories using the Tarot as a tool of insight and self-transformation• Explores the living wisdom of the Tarot, based…
on the author&’s more than 40 years&’ experience as a professional Tarot reader • Shares stories from the author&’s client readings to show how each card tells a story and how it only takes a small amount of familiarity to decipher a world full of meaning in the cards • Shows how to use the Tarot to grow your strengths, identify your weaknesses, conquer problems, and move on from painful situations As Julia Gordon-Bramer reveals in profound detail, the miracle of Tarot is how the right cards show up, time and time again, to provide guidance or symbolically illustrate your story—whether you believe in the Tarot or not. In these real-life tales of Tarot wisdom, Gordon-Bramer explores the modern applications and the living wisdom of the Tarot, based on her more than 40 years&’ experience as a professional Tarot reader. Sharing stories from client readings and her own spiritual journey, she shows how to intuitively, logically, and sometimes playfully glean the meaning of each card that appears and integrate its powerful spiritual lessons for deeper understanding, guidance, and personal healing. She compares reading the Tarot to dream analysis, explaining how the Major Arcana, such as The Fool, The Magician, The Lovers, or The Star, represent the key players and milestones in life, the sacred adventure from birth to death. She explains how each card tells its own story, often revealing subconscious beliefs and motivations through its colors, numbers, symbols, and pictures, yet she also reveals how it only takes a small amount of familiarity to decipher a world full of meaning in the cards. Allowing you to make the leap from an abstract understanding of the Tarot to actually working intuitively with the cards, this book shows how, when used as a life-transforming tool to awaken and tame the subconscious, the Tarot offers a way to grow your strengths, identify your weaknesses, and conquer problems as you journey through life.Birth Control on Main Street: Organizing Clinics in the United States, 1916-1939
Par Cathy Moran Hajo. 2010
Unearthing individual stories and statistical records from previously overlooked birth control clinics, Cathy Moran Hajo looks past the rhetoric of…
the birth control movement to show the relationships, politics, and issues that defined the movement in neighborhoods and cities across the United States. Whereas previous histories have emphasized national trends and glossed over the majority of clinics, Birth Control on Main Street contextualizes individual case studies to add powerful new layers to the existing narratives on abortion, racism, eugenics, and sterilization. Hajo draws on an original database of more than 600 clinics run by birth control leagues, hospitals, settlement houses, and public health groups to isolate the birth control clinic from the larger narrative of the moment. By revealing how clinics tested, treated, and educated women regarding contraceptives, she shows how clinic operation differed according to the needs and concerns of the districts it served. Moving thematically through the politicized issues of the birth control movement, Hajo infuses her analysis of the practical and medical issues of the clinics with unique stories of activists who negotiated with community groups to obey local laws and navigated the swirling debates about how birth control centers should be controlled, who should receive care, and how patients should be treated.The Power of Letting Go: How to drop everything that's holding you back
