Ordinary Lessons from an Ordinary Guy
This book is simple, informative, and transformative all at once. Williams has once again used his exquisite insightfulness to transcend many of the blockades and excuses often used to avoid taking the responsibility and courage necessary for individuals to first look deeply, earnestly and honestly at "self," before looking outward at others when seeking to effect lasting and meaningful change. His belief that the first and most significant step to our long journey outward always begins with the first truthful step inward is evident throughout this writing. While each teaching is independent of the ones to follow or precede it, each of them is powerful and highly applicable as a stand-alone self-improvement tool. If growing yourself (and not the entire world) is your objective, then this is the book for you. No one, Williams says, changes the world for the better until he or she first concedes that effective change must begin with self and work outward from there. It is obvious that this book is intended to serve as a self-paced guide and companion along the readers' growth route, and not merely as a tool of instruction to be read, laid aside, and forgotten.
I Breathe Therefore I AM
This is the Hardcover version of "I Breathe Therefore I AM", a book of awakening, which focuses on BREATH; as a fundamental way of reconnecting with your self and improving the experience of everyday life! The general knowledge about how to recharge ourselves, how to relax ourselves and how to boost our feeling of health is vague and often dependent on outside inputs and solutions. Deep Breathing Exercises have more power and effect than we aware of.The common perception of a break from work and/or responsibilities is to get on a device that is connected to the internet and engage in an activity that is outside ourself. Taking a moment to breathe to a rhythm, a depth or a pattern is off the radar, yet it should be a primary method for re-focusing, re-charging and fuelling our body and mind. We can boost our performance and sharpness or we can slow ourselves down and relax. Calming ourselves from the frantic pace of daily life with a few breaths decreases anxiety and reconnects us to what and who we are.Deep Breathing can have an instant effect on our state of mind and our state of health.Breathe Deep My Friend
People's Planning
In 1996, the state of Kerala launched possibly the world's most extensive and successful experiment in decentralization. The campaign mobilized over 3 million of Kerala's 30 million people and resulted in bottom-up development planning in all of its 1,052 villages and urban neighbourhoods.This book details the background of the campaign, traces its stages, assesses problems and successes, and evaluates concrete results and reforms. It tells a powerful story of mass mobilization and innovation, achieved by overcoming bureaucratic opposition and rooting out corruption and cynicism.Considering the theoretical and applied significance of the campaign - both in the context of India's development since Independence and the international debates on decentralization, civil society, and empowerment - this study provides invaluable lessons for sustainable development worldwide.

Living a Principled Life
We have lost sight of the principles of life that guide us to holistic living. These principles are rooted in the Bible and have not changed through the centuries. They are rules without cracks, essential qualities, and the way people can live a dedicated life to themselves, others, and God. They provide freedom in how to live and direction in how to treat others. In every discipline, industry, or profession there is a language which is unique to its purpose, and this is the language for living a fulfilled life. It reveals to individuals, families, groups, churches, and businesses many essential principles to right living which are of inestimable value if used, and can cause a life to thrive. Each principle uses a story in Scripture to bring the principles to life and make easier to remember. The principle remains fresh in the context of the story and brings insight into how to apply it to life today. A principled life cannot be over-rated. It is a key element in the development of maturity in many areas of life.

Songline of the Heart
Traveling internationally for the past 12 years as a professional Dowsing Master and speaker, Shelley Darling synthesizes her knowledge of Emotional Integration, Heart Resonance and Feng Shui with Dowsing, which evokes an energetic "quickening" in the field, uplifting the home, land, and business environment. Shelley's dedication to Love as a practical pathway, combined with her understanding of Conscious Evolution, delivers a dynamic whole-systems model which speaks to Evolutionary Dowsing as a transformational journey whose vision is to restore personal power, prosperity aligned with purpose and planetary peace. Shelley currently lives where the eagles soar at the delta of Merrymeeting Bay in Maine, USA.From the Author: Dowsing came into my life serendipitously, seemingly out of left field. As I dowsed my clients' homes, I found myself in complete awe of how quickly my clients themselves evolved. They became enthusiastic and developed profound confidence and trust in their personal internal guidance systems, often in ways that had previously seemed unimaginable to them.Through Dowsing... I began to experience a more powerful connection with the voice of the land. Each dowsing seemed to support an empowered awareness of the land with a conscious recognition of one's personal power and appropriated guardianship of the land by the Ancestors.The personal transmissions that occur through each dowsing deliver messages to the individual and their families, awakening and renewing their relationships with each other, while simultaneously restoring and harmonizing the energy of the land.My experience has since continued to support these findings, with the strength and conviction of a power and unfolding wisdom, which opens the "Heart Field" through Dowsing. This connection with the Quantum or Unified Field, transforms and uplifts children, families and their communities, as shared in their personal stories.-Shelley Darling

Sacred Writings by Women in Medicine
This book is a collection of writings by seven professional women working in health care and of this groups writing practice. This writing process is not a therapy. The process is more a ritual of nourishment at every level; physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. The writing occurs during a monthly gathering outside of work. This practice began ten years ago, to foster a greater comradery among the health care providers working within a rural health organization that serves three communities offering primary care and other ancillary services. The purpose of forming this gathering for a practice of writing was to have an outlet for expression of feelings and frustrations outside of the workplace. From the beginning it was clear this was not to be a gripe session related to our work in the organization. We developed a practice for writing together as a means of building a greater depth of consciousness to their individual unconscious stories, feelings, and events that they carry with them. What has occurred is a greater depth of personal understanding, deep respect of self and others, and a rich commitment to the values that drew each of these women to work in healthcare. The monthly meeting ritual sets the backdrop for the group writing and is part of the fabric and richness that has built an environment of trust and calmness to write in. The book offers to the reader a tool that can build resilience, personal and professional. The stories in this book are written by women working in healthcare and healthcare demands on providers is intense. Prior to the pandemic Family Practice Physicians and Advanced Clinical Providers (ACP) surveyed in America (according to SE Healthcare Quality Consulting, Feb. 2021) found that 49% showed symptoms of "burnout" prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and at the peak of the pandemic 100% of those surveyed showed symptoms of "burnout".
