The Small Joy of Putting One Foot in Front of Another
F E A R N L E YW H I T T I NG S TA L L
Kate Humble An ode to the life-changing magic of the simple act of walking. Thinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate�s walking year ‒ shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate's inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout ‒ capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows ‒ and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity born. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether
for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate�s reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action.

Look at the rage, the resolution, the ʻhear me roar’, the panic, the power, the chin hairs, the shame, the empathy, the conversation, the sheer potential. Welcome to Midulthood. A place where we recognise that we are all more alike than we are unalike. Of course it’s not just you. If we’re not in it together, we’re not in it at all...

This inspirational and timely guide shows how mindfulness helps children, why it’s becoming popular and how to do it. It combines easy exercises that children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice. Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with exams, how to deal with the screen culture and practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of mindfulness for children. Many schools are not able to include mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced, digitized and imageobsessed world is having a really negative effect. Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool that will give children the skills to manage their feelings, increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress.

Discover how to create your own dream practice to help facilitate your work and relationships, selfexploration, soul growth, emotional healing and personal empowerment. Human beings have a long history of looking to their dreams for guidance, inspiration, spiritual connection and decision making. Kings consulted seers and gifted dreamers for political advice, and tribe leaders took heed from the prophetic dreams of their shamans. Dreams have led to inventions and scientific discoveries as well as the creation of moving works of art. So why is the modern human so disconnected from our dreams? Our quiet, reflective consciousness has been superseded by the busy, noisy and distractive components of modern culture. Dreams will teach you how, through simple intent, mindfulness, reflection, record keeping, plant work and lifestyle changes, we can enable a deeper connectivity and understanding of our dream world to enrich our waking life.

By the Sea
The therapeutic benefits of being in, on and by the water Dr Deborah Cracknell Nature meets modern science in a book about the healing powers of the ocean.
B LU E PL A N E T H A S PROVOK E D H UGE I N T E R E S T I N OU R SE A S A N D O C E A N S , W I T H 17
In this stunning book, intuition and instinct meet modern science as the therapeutic benefits of being in, on or by the sea are explained and explored, and how, if we look after the oceans they will in turn look after us. There is something about the vastness of the oceans, which are significantly larger than the continents combined, that has drawn humans in a significant way since the beginning of coastal communities. Throughout history, people have gravitated to live near the sea, it is part of the survival instinct. Water also has huge cultural and spiritual significance for people through the ages and for centuries we looked to the sand and surf as a fully-stocked medicine cabinet. Despite the widespread intuitive feeling that being by the water makes us happier and healthier, there hasn’t been much scientific evidence to quantify this connection. Until now. Environmental psychology is the study of how the natural environment makes us feel, think and behave, and scientists in this area are discovering the tangible benefits of ‘blue health’.

The Art & Power of Acceptance Your guide to inner peace Ashley Davis Bush An essential guide to acceptance and its power to precipitate change and bring about emotional freedom. Imagine the relief of not being stuck in anger, resentment or regret. Imagine the emotional freedom of stopping the battle with yourself, other people, your circumstances and even your past. Imagine the peace of mind you would have if you stopped fighting the current of life and instead flowed with it, effortlessly. Exploring the journey from resistance to alignment to
possibility, psychotherapist Ashley Davis Bush debunks the idea that acceptance is merely passive apathy or resignation. She introduces you to the simple but radical practice of self-compassion as the key to disarming resistance, expanding positive emotions and allowing you to move easily with “what is”. She invites you to see how acceptance paradoxically leads to powerful, lasting change. Ashley Davis Bush, LICSW is a psychotherapist with 30 years of experience in the mental health field. She is a freelance writer and the author of eight self-help books.
