It's All Within You
For fans of How We Heal and Becoming the One, a global wellness leader offers a counterpoint to the modern culture of relying on external therapies and supplements for healing, guiding readers to their own innate capacity to trust and heal themselves with the tools they already have access to We live in a world where we're told we need weekly therapy, a stack of expensive daily supplements, and a two-hour morning routine before we can expect to feel better about ourselves. Let alone handle the daily struggle of living in a modern world where everything seems to be falling apart. And while there are so many ways to "feel better" and "do more," -our biggest issue today is that we have forgotten that we already have everything we need inside of us. It's All Within You shifts the focus from chasing external quick fixes to recognizing and trusting your innate wholeness. Global wellness expert, Millana Snow, reminds us of our inherent power to heal and transform ourselves by coming home to ourselves. Drawing on her thirty years of exploration in meditation, healing and spirituality, Millana shares the seven essential principles that serve as starting points to begin personal transformation from the inside out--awareness, presence, cultivation, integration, grieving, faith, and rest. Backed by real-life examples and practices that she's taught to thousands of people, these principles will foster a deeper awareness of the effects of personal and collective trauma so you can tackle the stress and daily struggles of your life head on, rather than just managing the symptoms. It's All Within You is a manifesto that considers us all healers. When we recognize our power and choose to make healing a way of life, we shift from being passively formed by our circumstances to forming our life as we choose.

Ripple in Still Waters
RIPPLE IN STILL WATERS isn't just a story, but a journey-a deep, human experience. It takes you into a world that feels like real life, because it is inspired by real emotion. It's about love, loss resilience, the supernatural connection between souls ... and the ripple effects of a single tragedy through generations of a family.RIPPLE IN STILL WATERS begins in the 1950's. Two young immigrants from Canada find each other in America, fall in love, and build a family. Life is hard, but it's beautiful-until it's not. When their infant daughter, Tori, dies, the emotional collapse that follows threatens to break everything. It's a death that never fully dies. But then comes Fiona-a miracle child-with a gift: she can communicate with Tori's spirit. She keeps her sister's memory alive. She becomes the bridge between the world of the living and the world beyond. As Fiona grows, she struggles to find herself, and she gets lost-caught in toxic love, reckless choices, and emotional darkness. She runs to California. And while her family organizes a desperate search to bring her home...Tori-her sister, now her guardian angel-tries to intervene from the other side. It's a story like THE LOVELY BONES meets THIS IS US. It has the emotional range of MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, the family saga scale of THE NOTEBOOK, and the ethereal presence of GHOST. But this story has its own heartbeat. It weaves the supernatural with the psychological. It doesn't shy away from pain, or addiction, or grief-but it doesn't get lost in it either. It shines a light on hope, faith, and redemption. It's a multigenerational drama that explores what happens when the past refuses to stay buried...when love from the other side still wants to heal what's broken in the living. Picture Fiona, as a young girl, standing in an empty room, quietly talking to her sister's spirit-while her parents listen from the other side of the door, unsure if it's madness or miracle. Or a family dinner with empty chairs that feel full of ghosts. Or a California trip that spirals into a dark, dangerous descent. Picture a mother, kneeling at the foot of the bed, praying-not to God, but to her daughter Tori-to bring Fiona home. Tori, as a gilding presence, appearing in reflections, shadows, or in dreams-trying to nudge fate, but never fully able to intervene. It's haunting, hopeful, and real. This story is emotionally charged, with layered performances. It has Fiona as a strong female lead, with the challenge of portraying the push and pull between trauma and transformation. You have a mother fighting through loss, a father who silently crumbles, and the spiritual anchor in Tori's ghostly presence. This story swingsfrom gritty realism to soft, dreamlike surrealism. It's a story that lingers, that sparks conversations. That becomes personal for everyone who reads it. It's unforgettable-nostalgic, soulful, and ethereal. This story brings something meaningful to life. It moves people. It reminds us that even in still waters, there's movement-there's a ripple. This story heals, it resonates, it endures. In a world that is craving authentic, soul-stirring content-this is the story. People want more than entertainment. They want connection. They want to see characters who reflect their struggles, who fall, who rise, who fight, who believe. RIPPLE IN STILL WATERS speaks to anyone who's ever lost someone. To anyone who's ever feltunseen, unheard, or forgotten. To anyone who's ever needed a second chance. This story has a message for everyone.
Late-Stage Babylon
With a blend of scholarly analysis and personal reflection, this book invites readers to contemplate the complexities of our modern spiritual landscape. In today's world, something strange is happening: Celebrities like Kat Von D and Russell Brand are embracing Catholicism, finding allure in its newfound status as a counter-cultural symbol among media personalities, influencers and the literati. Tech titans like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are shirking the rationalist modus-operandi, making open allusions to the arcane, and even funding research into occult phenomena. U.S. senators stumble over their words in front of the watchful lenses of establishment news cameras and journalists, grappling with the notion of the potential existence of superintelligent life -- which, if real, would shatter the fabric of our rationalist paradigm. This unexpected shift raises pressing questions: What is driving these influential individuals in secular liberal democracies to embrace ancient religious institutions, fringe mysticism, and what only a decade ago would have been ridiculed as conspiracy? Why are they turning away from rationalism, the cornerstone of modern thought? Late-Stage Babylon delves into this post-secular spiritual crisis, offering insights and guidance in navigating these turbulent swings of the spiritual pendulum. Drawing inspiration from the works of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, this book seeks to unravel the underlying motivations behind this cultural shift and its potential implications for the future. From the heights of celebrity culture to the cutting edge of technological innovation, society is grappling with a profound spiritual hunger that traditional rationalist paradigms are failing to satisfy. As we enter a new age where the arcane and the obscure hold sway, Late-Stage Babylon serves as a guide, illuminating the path forward in the murky territory that's been brought about by the resurgence of long-dormant forces in the collective psyche.

Counselors' Perception of and Experiences with Empathy When Treating Male IPV Victims
This book is an evidence-based data analytical research study, heavily critiqued and approved by Capella University. Historically, intimate partner violence (IPV) is a fundamental global, social, and public problem (Garland et al., 2019; Pichon et al., 2022). The research problem and implications that the book answered were a lack of information and resources (e.g., public policies) about mental health providers' experiences with empathy when working with male IPV victims' experiences (Di Napoli et al., 2019). The research study was significant becauseit showed the gap in understanding mental health service providers' role in empathy experiences of male IPV victims' mental health problems recommended for future scientific research studies (Hamdani et al., 2021).Besides, research findings about male victimization remained uncertain. This study's findings showed/revealed the awareness of female perpetration of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse (Arnocky & Vaillancourt, 2014; Park, 2021). The socio-cultural stigma seems to reinforce and belittle male IPV victims (Dim, 2020; Park, 2021). The findings of this study provide a pivotal catalyst that impels policy legislatures and social system advocacy stakeholders to inform various researchers across the globe of the deleterious effects of IPV experiences and their adverse impact on male victims (Balogun et al., 2015; Dim, 2020).
The Compassionate Core
The Compassionate Core Integrating Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems to Heal Complex Trauma Step by Step Discover the Revolutionary Approach to Healing Complex Trauma That Bridges Your Body's Wisdom with Your Mind's Inner Parts Complex trauma doesn't just live in your memories-it lives in your nervous system. If you've tried traditional therapy but still feel stuck in cycles of hypervigilance, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm, you're not broken. You just need an approach that addresses both your body's survival responses and your mind's protective parts. The Compassionate Core introduces the first integrated healing framework combining Polyvagal Theory's nervous system regulation with Internal Family Systems therapy. This groundbreaking method helps you understand why your body gets hijacked by past trauma and how your internal parts developed to protect you-then guides you step-by-step toward genuine healing. Inside this comprehensive guide, you'll discover how to recognize your nervous system states and shift from survival mode to safety, identify and befriend your internal parts without overwhelming your system, use somatic anchoring techniques to stay present during difficult emotions, develop co-regulation strategies that heal attachment wounds, and create internal harmony between protective parts and your true Self. You'll learn practical exercises for vagus nerve toning and nervous system regulation, understand the window of tolerance and how to expand it safely, and master the art of parts mapping without triggering dissociation. This book bridges the gap between body-based healing and parts work, offering clear explanations of complex neuroscience in accessible language, real-world case examples showing transformation in action, and gentle pacing that respects your nervous system's capacity. Perfect for trauma survivors seeking comprehensive healing, therapists wanting to integrate somatic and parts approaches, and anyone struggling with CPTSD, developmental trauma, or attachment injuries.

But too many of us have forgotten.Could it be that Earth itself is the Body of Christ writ large? That the mycelial networks beneath our feet are teaching us how to live in harmony again?Could the forest-silent, breathing, radiant-be a prophet? Could Gaia, the Great Mother, have what human beings need to heal?In this book's meditations, Bruce Epperly invites you to pause. . . and then be transformed by the daily spiritual messages from the natural world. Link hands with all Creation in a song of planetary healing. Join the march toward eco-justice. Become the Spirit's companion in the ongoing work of inner and outer peace.
