A LITTLE MINDFULNESS Now might be a good time to look around your house with that golden rule in the back of your mind. How many things can you see that are of no use or have outlived their usefulness? How many things can you see that are not useful but are meant to be there for their beauty? Do the items you decorate your home with uplift, nourish or inspire you? Perhaps there are lot of objects in your home because of sentimental value, or because you have just grown attached to them and can’t let them go? Would something look better in a place other than where it has habitually been? Don’t forget to open a few cupboards and you might come across a few long-forgotten ‘treasures’ that would do well to be displayed or to find another home. If there are objects that are neither beautiful nor useful then why are those objects still there if they don’t add to the value of your life or to the utility and ambience of your home? Pause and reflect on that question. Reflect on what it would mean to pass that object on to someone who might find a use for it or find it beautiful.

Listening, Learning, Caring and Counselling The essential manual for psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and other healthcare professionals on caring for their clients
Dr Cate Howell OAM, CSM, PhD (Med.) EXISLE
At the centre of any caring role is listening attentively to the concerns, stories and needs of others. But to develop the skills of listening, learning, caring and counselling (LLCC), you need support and training. This comprehensive guide, full of ideas and techniques, is designed to fill that role. It is not a book about fundamental counselling skills. Instead, the main emphasis is on how professionals can assist clients as they work through the issues they commonly present with — such as low mood, relationship issues, loss and grief. A practical and user-friendly resource. A$39.99 | NZ$39.99 | 9781925335040 | 229 x 152 mm | 304 pages | Paperback | July 2016

Heartfulness Beyond mindfulness — finding your real life
Dr Stephen McKenzie
NEW
EXISLE
In life your expectations and disappointments are directly linked. So too is your heartfulness and your contentedness. RASHEED OGUNLARA
The mindfulness trend has seen mindfulness become valued more as an item in a personal tool kit as opposed to a full way of living. Dr Stephen McKenzie, a leading Mindfulness author and teacher, brings us back to its full roots — connecting the heart with mindfulness to become heartfulness. The paths to full living are clearly shown and demonstrated. Being heartful simply means being fully connected — with ourselves and with other people — and therefore fully alive, happy, without stress and at peace. There are exercises for the reader and chapters include adversity, humour, knowledge, kindness, love and hope along with anecdotes, things to do and think about and much to gently read and enjoy. This is a gentle, warm book that seeks to bring the reader home to a happy state. A scientist with years of clinical and teaching experience, Dr Stephen McKenzie has written several books including Exisle’s Mindfulness at Work and with Craig Hassed Mindfulness for Life.

Teach your horse to use the thinking—not reacting—side of his brain.
Downunder Horsemanship: Establishing Respect and Control for English and Western Riders, he was an up-and-coming clinician, and his goal was to create a practical training guide for everyday horse people to learn to better communicate with their horses, regardless of their riding style, age, or ability. Ten years later, Clinton is an internationally recognized clinician and the book has lived up to his goal, having helped thousands of horse owners learn to be better leaders and enjoy their horses to the fullest. “Since establishing Downunder Horsemanship, my mission has been to inspire the dreams of horsemen by providing commonsense, step-by-step instruction and inspiration that never stops adding to your knowledge,” says Clinton. “This book continues to accomplish that goal, and I believe a large part of its success is due to the riders and horses featured in it. They represent where every one of us starts in our horsemanship journey, frustrated and not quite sure where to get the knowledge we need.”

OUTDOORS
The two riders in this book, one Western and one English, experience problems and setbacks we can all relate to, and they and their horses are exactly what keep the book relevant. Clinton understands that one of the most frustrating situations for anyone working with a horse is not knowing what to do when things don’t go according to plan. In fact, many practical training books and videos feature horses that are already well trained. These examples are hard to follow or difficult to relate to when you try a new technique at home and your own horse fails to understand it—sometimes not doing it perfectly, and other times, not at all. That’s why in this book Clinton presents real problems and real solutions. Through series photographs taken at the time and personal essays, you gain firsthand insights from the riders about their difficulties, breakthroughs, challenges, and rewards. If you have a passion to be a better horseman and a desire to learn how to effectively communicate with your horse, this book will prove to be a valuable resource to refer to, time and again.
