The Power of Distraction

because it then becomes a wrestling match with my own thoughts for the entire twenty minutes, and ultimately I can wrestle with my thoughts anywhere.

Distraction is the thing. I don’t think enough is made of distraction as a practice. I was at work a week ago and I was feeling beleaguered and sorry for myself. I was pressing on and trying to keep going and not fall behind, but feeling spacious and contented was not on the agenda. And then I remembered my neighbours at home raving about a Radio Four programme called Witch. I put in my headphones and started listening.

Even though the publishers use “mindful” in the title, I think they are going with the trend by using this word, and this book is mostly feng shui. The author is a registered architect and feng shui educator in New York City. It’s a book that you can treat yourself to, to inspire you to make changes to your home and make it a happier place. There are 144 pages of beautifully laid out colour images and text and its retail price of £14.99 is a total bargain. There are many everyday common-sense tips in the book, plus more esoteric feng shui guidance and simple rituals that can enhance the positivity of a place. Chapters include Feng Shui and the Mindfulness Connection, Create a Mindful Space and Interconnecting Home and Community. Anyone who lives indoors can benefit from a book like this.

Straight away the turbulence disappeared. It was uncanny because it was almost instantaneous. I felt comforted and calm, and the pain and agitation departed. I listed to about three of the episodes straight through and marvelled that a change in the direction of my attention had such a profound effect.

Of course, the next day when I started listening to Witch again I didn’t experience that same level of alleviation. Of course not. Miracles are rarely replicated and that’s ok: I was grateful for just the one. It was still enjoyable to be listening and it still felt like home.

It’s a programme about witchcraft both as a contemporary and a historical phenomenon. It is about what witchcraft means and why people turn to it, and it is about the persecution that women faced in the past having been accused of witchcraft. Witchcraft nowadays is a bit undefined, plus nobody really knows what the practice of witchcraft looked like four centuries ago. The main thing is that I like it and I am glad it is happening and it is a good thing for the world, in all its looseness and patchwork quality. Turning to the subject and distracting myself with it – having it occupy my attention –made me feel much better.

So sometimes trying to calm my mind on the train with my eyes shut might not be the best thing for me. Instead I should listen to something nurturing or uplifting on my mobile because it is a faster way to calmness, at least for me. Or read a rich and positive book. And it’s even better if it’s spiritual and it is inspiring me or teaching me something that will make me more resilient. If things are tough, read something and feed your mind on better material. Or go in the garden to look after your plants. Sometimes the loftier spiritual paths are not right and we need to accept that we can’t always thrive there. Distraction doesn’t sound like much but, when we are burdened with a voracious mind, it’s a good idea to feed it on healthier stuff.

THE MOON DUST DREAM DICTIONARY by Florance Saul

Dreams are always a puzzle, sometimes easy to unpick, but often not, so this entirely new set of definitions informed by lunar activity and mystical insight is fascinating. Examining how and why the eight moon phases impact our dreams, the author reveals what message a dream has at any one phase of the moon. There’s a helpful chart that gives an overview so you can see at a glance the overall meaning of the appearance of aliens in each of the phases of the moon, for example. Then you can drill down using the A-Z interpretation of each of the dream symbols and their specific messages within the lunar cycle. This is a well-laid out, attractive book that is also a fascinating exploration into the impact that astrology and the Moon plus astronomy and psychology have had on spiritual wisdom and the art of dream interpretation from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern day.

THE EMPOWERMENT SOLUTION by Friedemann Schaub

Books like this get me excited. I haven’t got to the end of it yet. It’s about personal transformation and unlocking your full potential, and it’s written by someone who is both an M.D. and a Ph.D. Friedemann also wrote the bestselling book The Fear and Anxiety Solution, which I loved too. And it’s properly big and heavy so it doesn’t deal in platitudes and easy fixes. It’s written for all of us who don’t feel laid low but do feel that life is passing us by a little bit, who feel that we are ready to make big changes that will realign things and make us feel less complicated and conflicted. It’s full of sound advice and exercises too. The six most common survival patterns that we can use are: the victim, invisibility, the procrastinator, the chameleon, the helper and the lover.

A New Science Of The Afterlife

by Daniel Drasin

Aspects of life after life and life beyond life are a main rallying point for those of us who see ourselves as alternative or spiritual. While we don’t agree on how this might work or even whether it is a “real thing” we do all agree that it’s a serious debate and that the materialist worldview is absurd. The author is an award-winning documentary film-maker and has been exploring this field for a long time. He starts by demonstrating the restrictive tendency of the materialist belief system and then goes on to explore various phenomena that indicate that there is much more to the universe than that. The author clearly is an advocate for life after death and this short and easy-to-follow book (which is full of resources and references) acts as a starting point for our own further exploration.

OVERCOMING FEAR by Thomas Mayer

There are a few books being published that were written in the teeth of the Coronavirus Pandemic, casting a light on how people were responding to the lockdowns, the media, government policies and the sense of global fear. This short book contains 28 meditations and soul exercises designed to help develop courage and internal strength that were so needed during what was a horrible time. It’s a book to help us recover from the trauma and to be strong in case it happens again. It also includes thoughts from the author on how the crisis was an attack on our connection to spirituality, and how we needed to counter this attack using spiritual means. It’s a personal view, and whether you agree with it or not, the meditations he has created are also relevant now and can help with all sorts of challenges we face every day.

The Language Of Flowers In The Time Of Covid

by Joan D. Stamm

The author, a Zen Buddhist and ikebana practitioner, was about to visit Japan to research a flower temple pilgrimage when the pandemic struck. It forced her to retreat to her own mountain home with its beautiful flower garden and search, like the rest of us, for solace and meaning where she could find it in that difficult time. What she has produced is a fascinating book which is both intimate and thoughtful, and which introduces us to the poetic and beautiful language of flowers. It reads like a diary, but with every entry Stamm refers to a flower and its meaning with particular reference to the issues of that time in her and our lives. This book lends some meaning to those challenging Covid times and perhaps helps ease the trauma.

The Soul And The Sea

by Benig Mauger

It’s always appealing to find a new take on emotional healing, and this book brings us an approachable model based on the interweaving of Jungian depth psychology with spirituality. It is a very personal book: the author is not only honest and open about her own inner healing, but she’s also a poet and has a profound love of nature, so that reading her work is like being on a boat, being rocked from side to side as we are moved from wisdom and understanding to emotional connection and back. The narrative takes us through a series of “healing rooms” which address different issues, all the time also illustrated with stories from the author’s affinity with nature and love of the sea. Complete with practical advice and exercises, this is both an interesting and a powerful read.

Undreaming Wetiko

by Paul Levy

This is Paul Levy’s third book on the subject, following Wetiko and Dispelling Wetiko. Wetiko – which is a term from the Native American tradition – describes a virus of the mind, which underlies the collective insanity and evil wreaking havoc across the world. It has its roots in unhealed ancestral trauma, which expresses within the family. Influenced by the work of Jung, he shows how the answers to the problem are actually hidden within the dark side of our human experience. This is deep and compelling work but it’s greeted enthusiastically by a number of authors quoted on the cover, including Jean Houston, Andrew Harvey and Larry Dossey. Through stories, historical anecdotes and deep insight, he offers a practical map to those shadow parts of us, which is where true healing lies.

Deep in our DNA, there is a part of us that cherishes the sense of the garden as sanctuary. Wild places can put our little lives into perspective and bathe us in a sense of the vastness of Life and the Power of Nature. The garden is altogether a gentler experience. It is boundaried, more personal, and can provide a more cultivated beauty and a safe place in which to be ourselves. It can be a place of healing and connection where we can observe and attune to the cycles of the year. There we can become intimate with each season, and learn the signs of “biotime”, like the subtle shift from summer to autumn as the days and nights cool, the late frosts of Spring, the last bites of winter cold, and the vibrant joy of midsummer. I admire the visual flair of garden designers and, though I am not an expert plantswoman, I am beginning to learn how to imaginatively combine plants to greatest effect. I admire people who can create edible, abundant and gorgeous paradise gardens, a holy grail of sustainability, wildlife habitat and the drama of a fine garden with different areas that provide a variety of functions and sensual experiences.

I am on a path of lifelong learning. The challenge is to combine the edible and the ornamentals that thrive and feed the household and our wild visitors without succumbing to any chemicals and requiring as few brought in materials as possible. My aim is to mimic Nature by creating cycles of fertility, harvests and building soil just as a deciduous woodland does through the four seasons to bring health and balance for all species of plants living together. My aim is also to find peace and healing in the garden and for it to be a sanctuary for both its human and wild visitors.

There is much to be learned from pioneering and innovative gardeners. Liz Zorab has taught me through her work how to mix ornamental plants with vegetables to create a pest/ predator balance and for the pure joy

of beautiful plants. We can mix things up, allow self-seeding plants to pop up in places in the garden where there is space, and experiment, and break the rules. She has also taught me, by example, how healing gardening can be. Her preferred time is early in the morning as the sun rises and the world slowly wakes up. Some days when her energy is low, she simply observes and potters, and other days she gently completes tasks like sowing and planting, weeding and composting.

I am a task-oriented person and think gardening requires time and energy and that I must make time to do it. Liz has taught me to just

THE SEASONED GARDENER by Liz Zorab

go out in any season without a fixed agenda and simply be present. This has both deepened my appreciation of the rhythm of the changing seasons, and the cycles of Nature and our year. It has also shown me how to garden more effortlessly. By not setting a goal that I treat like a deadline, I free myself. Some days I just observe, admire, and gently tend a few plants. At other times when I feel energised I find myself planting a whole bed or pruning a tree that needs attention. And some days I need to just sit and enter a garden reverie. The key is to give myself a daily rhythm of being outside, even for a short time, without expectations, a time for myself that is attuned to both to my own needs and personal rhythm, and the season. This has become a daily meditation, a time of inner reflection, and connection to the pulse of the greater mystery of Mother Earth, the incredible planet on which we are so lucky to live. And wonderfully, the garden has never been so productive and well-tended or I so connected with it. I’d like to encourage you to try it. Give yourself this gift of daily practice, without expectations.

Liz Zorab has taken a barren piece of land in Monmouthshire and transformed it into a spectacular garden, with an emphasis on fruit and vegetables, but full of a gorgeous collection of other plants and flowers. Liz is a proponent of permaculture and uses its 12 principles to help her create a beautiful, cohesive and functional environment that minimises any negative impact on the land and the natural world, and this is her guide to help us do the same. The book, illustrated with some stunning photos taken by the author, is designed to share the rhythm and patterns of her gardening year, and unusually starts in the autumn, the season of gathering, and the season she enjoys most.

The Breathable Body

by Robert Litman

Most of us are born with the ability to breathe freely and naturally, but as the years go by, our breathing can become laboured - compromised by fear, disappointment, trauma, and pollutants. We start to contract our breathing body and create ways that feel protective of our vulnerable selves but actually constrict the oxygen intake and thus the nourishment our body receives. The author, a renowned breathing expert, offers a guide to conscious breathing with techniques for loosening these patterns of constriction. In his warm and approachable book, he shows us how by breathing better we can alleviate symptoms of asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, digestive difficulties, and fatigue, giving us exercises to try and insights into the science of breathing that really make you want to give this a go.

Chakras And The Vagus Nerve

by C. J. Llewelyn

Following on from the extremely popular Simple Exercises To Stimulate The Vagus

Nerve in the last Review, this newly published book reveals how we can heal ourselves from trauma by understanding the powers of the vagus nerve together with the chakras, because as the author says “your body holds over three-quarters of what you need to know about yourself in order to heal old wounds”. She explains in detail how the vagus nerve works and how it matches the etheric energies of your chakras, and using this knowledge, how, by recognising physical cues, you can assist your spiritual and psychological growth. Including over 45 exercises and prompts used successfully by the author in her role as a trauma therapist, this book provides an exceptional guide to a new form of healing that we can all use especially in these days of trauma and anxiety.

Healing Breath And Mudras

by Christine Burke

Again this book is from Cico, so it’s beautiful to look at, easy to use and very good value. There are colour illustrations throughout which both illustrate the mudras and other exercises and which enhance the look of the book. Basically then it’s all about practical yoga apart from the hatha yoga exercises on the mat that people are familiar with. It’s a lovely combination of breathing exercises, which are very popular right now because they get straight to the heart of anxiety and wellbeing issues, and mudras – or hand positions – which are more esoteric but potentially as effective. The book has two main sections - Breathing and Mudras for the Body and Breathing and Mudras for the Soul - and within those sections, there are listed various conditions with a breathwork and mudra suggestion for each.

ENERGY RULES by Alla Svirinskaya

This is an very comprehensive guide to energy healing from the world renowned healer, Alla Svirinskaya, who is based in London. Her reputation has gone before her and she has a lot of big name clients, but she also writes clearly and gives us not only an insight into how our energy works but also how to manage it and keep it “well”. She also advises on specific health issues. Her book gives us a broad set of tools to use, with explanations of how they work and how we should apply them to ourselves and our own energy fields. She lays out how to live a non-toxic energy lifestyle, scan for energy blockages, charge ourselves to provide an energy self-defence, and so much more. These techniques are all designed to be used alongside other complementary therapies and the promise of leading a healthier life is very alluring. This is a new edition of her previous book Own Your Energy.

Mindfulness And Me

by Kira M. Markoff

The author was inspired to create this book after reading that psychological research shows that just 8 weeks of daily mindful meditation practices significantly lowers the activity in the stress centre of the brain. She could see that while 8 weeks doesn’t sound long, it would be much easier to do if supported by a guide - and this is it. There are topics for each week, each with relevant activities and daily practices. So week 1 is about Presence where you are invited to think about paying attention to sound, sight, smell, taste, touch etc. each with a practice to try, from “meditating through sound’” to “connecting through touch”. It’s an agnostic approach, and the practices integrate Buddhist, yoga, and Christian philosophy, mental health treatment, modern psychology, and much more. It’s a clever idea, which is well executed.

Maximize Your Healing Power

by Sharon E. Martin

We are spoiled for energy titles this season. Here is another good one to go with Confident Empath. Sharon is in a very strong position, being both a shaman and a board-certified internal medicine physician. She is an expert in both fields and has a high profile through her two radio shows on the Transformation Talk Radio network. The author gives clear instructions on attaining mastery over your own health using many stories from her own work as well as exercises and visualisations. These techniques are not just for use when we are ill but we can also use them to boost our vitality and life force. The text reads very easily and the author comes across as warm and friendly. When you know that she is also a highly qualified doctor, it also gives you confidence in what she teaches and in uncovering your own power.

Meeting The Shadow On The Spiritual Path

A SPELL A DAY by Tree Carr

by Connie Zweig

This looks at a tricky subject for many of us who are on this path. It’s such an exciting and inspiring one but there is so much potential for disenchantment, dependency, abuse and rejection. How can we be fully committed and make the most of all the transformational potential, while never abandoning a keen awareness of the dangers on that path?

Connie, who also wrote The Inner Work of Age, is brave and experienced enough to give us this primer on the subject. The book is deep but not academic or difficult. It is divided into two parts: Before the Fall and After the Fall. It both helps us to be aware and wary of what might go wrong and gives us tools to start again after a disillusionment. It’s so hard when you are let down by someone and you don’t know if you can ever “believe” again. Well, this book shows you that you can.

LET’S TALK ABOUT LONELINESS

by Simone Heng

This is a timely book, not because loneliness is a new thing, but because there have been two big recent developments in society. For the young it’s been the tendency to connect more online than off, and for the older, it’s the effects of Covid and the new working from home revolution. Loneliness is not just about not meeting people of course, it’s about making connections, it’s about touch; it can also be about disconnection and losing your own sense of self-worth. The author is a renowned public speaker who suffered intense loneliness for a long time, but has rebuilt her connections and here shares her story and the techniques she used to turn her life around. She presents everything with context, either her own experience or an analysis of causes and effects, so her book is both supportive and constructive.

Heal Your Ancestral Roots

by Anuradha Dayal-Gulati

There haven’t been many books on this fascinating subject. It’s one that needs to be explored because you can imagine that previous patterns within a family can easily be repeated from one generation into the next. Anuradha gives us many exercises such as journalling, visualisation and mind-mapping, and she also gives many suggestions based on her training in flower essences. The book is also full of real-life examples including many stories from her own family’s life. The author used to work in academia and finance and it’s uplifting to know she wanted to give up lucrative employment to do this work instead. Life is hard enough as it is so it’s helpful to be able to avoid repeating old patterns through financial troubles, divorce and breakup and family arguments that aren’t even conscious.

The spells combine the arts of potions, rituals, lucid dreams, herb magic, candle magic, planetary magic, crystal magic, incantations, ceremonies, divinations, tarot readings and so much more, making this the first book of its kind to bring together multiple realms of magic for the everyday into one place. Gorgeously illustrated throughout, the spells within this book are easy to do, inexpensive, practical and offer profound insight and power. A lot of them are pretty simple but I have the feeling you could treat this like a book of days where the spells get you into a holistic and magical way of being and even shift your life on to a different set of tracks.

BEHIND THE WALL OF ILLUSION by

Sean MacLeod

Something for Beatles fans, spiritualists, social historians and followers of Rudolf Steiner all in one fascinating volume! This is a Beatles anthology with a difference, bringing together several compelling strands. It’s a study of the influences that formed the Beatles’ music, from spiritual movements, religious groups, esoteric philosophies and mystical teachings; a look at the famous “hidden” clues in the album covers; an investigation into the strange rumours that pursued them; and an analysis of the horror of the assassination of John Lennon – all within the context of the grey postwar world. You only have to hear some of the lyrics, listen to the music or look at the covers to know how much the band absorbed from all corners of the spiritual world, and which, because of their popularity, they brought to so many other people.

LETTING GLOW by Phill Webster

This is Phill Webster’s first book, and it feels fresh and positive. It’s very personal, part investigation, part guide and part diary, written over the year after his mother’s death. He uses his own experiences and psychic senses to examine how to find solace and hope by connecting with intuition. He shares with us that simple changes in thinking as well as shifting our perspectives on everyday reality can help us transform our lives. His narrative and analysis are both interesting and compelling and it’s good to see he also includes a variety of meditation exercises to try. Letting Glow is also an adventure into mediumship and takes a deeper look at how we experience time, consciousness, and our relationship with our higher self. This book is a useful beginner’s title for anyone embarking on their pathway to spiritual enlightenment.

For spiritual seekers expecting answers, not platitudes.

In the 480-page Many Voices, One Mission, twenty highlyevolved spirit guides deliver wisdom, detailed insights and practical advice in contemporary, no-nonsense language. Their communications will comfort, inform and inspire in equal measure, encouraging you to approach this life and the next from a totally different, liberating perspective.

Revealing the astonishing hidden world around you

Your perceived ‘reality’ is simply a brush stroke in a much bigger picture.

Humanity has forgotten that it is linked to invisible but hugely powerful spiritual forces.

In his new book the Spaces Between acclaimed spirit communicator Joseph unveils this greater reality and the lifeforms that exist within it and interact, unseen, with you in subtle but powerful ways. Some are allies, some are destructive, but all are brought under the spotlight by Joseph whose intention is to reveal the hidden world you are a part of and are influenced by, second by second.

…Read the Spaces Between and your viewpoint will change forever.
