Rooting Awakening Transcending
What if acting isn't just acting? What if it's a journey of the soul?Have you ever watched a performance-on stage or on screen-that left you breathless? That one unforgettable role that didn't just entertain, but moved you. It wasn't the lines or the technique-it was something more. Something real.This book is about that something.In this bold and poetic exploration, Dr. Jiawei Liu-actor, researcher, and transpersonal psychologist-asks a simple yet radical question: Can acting become a path toward self-discovery and inner awakening?Through a powerful fusion of Aikido's flowing principles and the clarity of mindfulness meditation, this book introduces a new paradigm of actor training-one that invites performers not to imitate, but to inhabit. Drawing on empirical research conducted at Sofia University, Dr. Liu presents a compelling study of actors who, through embodied practice, uncovered not just stronger stage presence-but a deeper sense of themselves.Here, the wisdom of East and West meets the stage. Stanislavski's legacy is reimagined through the lens of transpersonal psychology. The actor becomes not just a technician of emotion, but a vessel of presence-a being in motion, awake and aware.And this book is not just for actors.It speaks to educators, therapists, and anyone who has ever felt the tension between the roles we play and the truth we long to express. For those seeking authenticity in art-or in life-it offers a rare kind of nourishment.This is not a book about how to perform better.It's a book about what happens when we stop performing altogether.Open it, and you may discover: That acting is not the art of pretending, but the practice of becoming.That presence is not a talent, but a discipline.That the stage-just like life-is not where we hide. It's where we arrive.This is a book about acting. And it's also about becoming.Once you've read it, you may never see performance-or yourself-in quite the same way again.

The Anatomy of Anxiety
From acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora comes a groundbreaking understanding of how anxiety manifests in the body and mind--and what we can do to overcome it.Anxiety affects more than forty million Americans--a number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a "neck-up" problem--that is, one of brain chemistry and psychology--the truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body.In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition. In her clinical work, Dr. Vora has found time and again that the symptoms of anxiety can often be traced to imbalances in the body. The emotional and physical discomfort we experience--sleeplessness, brain fog, stomach pain, jitters--is a result of the body's stress response. This physiological state can be triggered by challenging experiences as well as seemingly innocuous factors, such as diet and use of technology.The good news is that this body-based anxiety, or, as Dr. Vora terms it, "false anxiety," is easily treated. Once the body's needs are addressed, Dr. Vora reframes any remaining symptoms not as a disorder but rather as an urgent plea from within. This "true anxiety" is a signal that something else is out of balance--in our lives, in our relationships, in the world. True anxiety serves as our inner compass, helping us recalibrate when we're feeling lost.Practical, informative, and deeply hopeful, The Anatomy of Anxiety is the first book to fully explain the origins of anxiety and offer a detailed road map for healing and growth.

Against Therapy challenges readers to reconsider the nature and ethics of the therapeutic relationship.
