Dying & Grieving AN ENERGY HEALER’S BOOK OF DYING For Caregivers and Those in Transition by Suzanne Worthley
$18.99, paper. Findhorn. 176 pages, illus.
Written by a highly skilled intuitive energy worker, this compassionate guide reveals what is happening energetically during the transition back to spirit and details how to provide support in any phase of losing a loved one: before death, during the dying process, and afterward. Taking readers step-by-step through the nine energetic levels of dying, author Suzanne Worthley explains what is happening at each level or dimension energetically, what to watch for in each stage, and specific ways in which we can support our loved ones through their transition back to spirit. For each of the nine stages, she describes what the dying person may see and experience, including the stages of transition at which people undergo the familiar elements of near-death experiences, such as entering a tunnel, conducting a life review, or encountering angels, guides, loved ones in spirit, or a bright light. She explores what family members and friends may see and experience, such as spirit energy, and what they can do to offer practical support and emotional solace to their loved one. Examining how life force energy works as well as what Akashic records and soul contracts are, Worthley shares hospice case studies for each level of transition, so caregivers can see how belief systems and energy blocks in specific chakras affect the death process and why it is im-

RADICAL ACTS OF LOVE How We Find Hope at the End of Life by Janie Brown
$32.00, cloth. Doubleday. 304 pages
This deeply moving and ultimately uplifting exploration of our last great challenge is from the director of Callanish, an organization that helps and accompanies people near death. In this profound and moving book, oncology nurse Janie Brown recounts twenty conversations she has had with the dying, including people close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective on, and experience of death, while at the same time exploring its universalities. Offering extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments, Brown shows practical ways to facilitate the shift from feeling helpless about death to feeling hopeful; from fear to acceptance; from feeling disconnected and alone, to becoming part of the wider, collective story of our mortality.

As Janie Brown writes, Most people now under sixty have never seen a person die, and so have become deeply fearful about death, their own and the deaths of their beloved others. They have had no role models to show them how to care for a dying person, and therefore no confidence in being able to do so. My hope is that the baby boomer cohort who pushed for the return of the midwives to de-medicalize birth will also be instrumental in reclaiming the death process. This book is my contribution to the re-empowerment of all of us to take charge of our lives and our deaths, remembering that we know how to die, just as we knew how to come into this world. We also know how to heal, and to settle our lives as best we can, before we die. In my view, this is the greatest gift we could give our loved ones: to be prepared and open and accepting when the time comes for us to leave this world. OPENING TO GRIEF Finding Your Way from Loss to Peace by Claire Willis & Marnie Samuelson $24.95, cloth. Red Wheel. 144 pages
Grief is alive in us more and more, here on Earth these days. We all feel alone, shocked, confused, and heartbroken by the losses we have experienced in recent times. Opening to Grief is a gentle guide to the learnings in this experience. Like a loving friend, the authors move past the prevailing idea that grief moves in stages. Instead they offer a personal path, an invitation to turn toward the emotions and sensations that arise and explore the ways that are most healing for you. “A wise and sensitive book, this guide to working with grief is a treasure.” —Roshi Joan Halifax, author of Being with Dying “A comforting and elegant collection of healing wisdom. The perfect book for our times.” Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness “Opening to Grief invites readers to approach and be with their grief, rather than turn away and try to avoid it. The authors mix reflections with simple yet profound practices anchored in mindfulness. It’s easy-to-read and a wonderful addition to the grief literature.” —Sue Morris, Director of Bereavement Services, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston
Transpersonal Psychology YOUR SYMPHONY OF SELVES Discover and Understand More of Who We Are
by James Fadiman & Jordan Gruber
$24.99, paper. Inner Traditions. 434 pages, b/w illustrations
Offering groundbreaking insight into the dynamic nature of personality, James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber show that each of us is comprised of distinct, autonomous, and inherently valuable selves. They also show that honoring each of these selves is a key to improved ways of living, loving, and working. Explaining that it is normal to have multiple selves, the authors offer insights into why we all are inconsistent at times, allowing us to become more accepting of the different parts of who we and other people are. They explore, through extensive reviews, how the concept of healthy multiple selves has been supported in science, popular culture, spirituality, philosophy, art, literature, and ancient traditions and cite well-known people, including David Bowie and Beyoncé, who describe accessing another self at a pivotal point in their lives to resolve a pressing challenge. Instead of seeing the existence of many selves as a flaw or pathology, the authors reveal that the healthiest people,
