Being Sarah - A True Story About Choice, Control and Breast Cancer

Health, Mind & Body

Being Sarah is a true story about choice, control and breast cancer, It is a life-affirming, incredibly honest, opinionated, humorous and thought-provoking read. It follows Sarah on her breast cancer odyssey, as she starts looking for a treatment plan that suits her, asking for choices, for second opinions, and questions. And there are so many questions: in a field where so little is certain, what's best for me? Why do we concentrate on cure rather than prevention? Is our terror about breast cancer sanitised and diluted by the 'pink' movement? And will I die? And there aren't always answers. From the minutiae of getting through each day to the wider feelings of rage, hope, sadness, fear, loss, joy and helplessness, Being Sarah is about life, death, questions, options and choices.

Notre corps ne ment jamais

Health, Mind & Body

Notre corps ne ment jamais. Quand nous tombons malades, quand nous faisons l’expérience de la dépression, de la toxicomanie, de l’anorexie, c’est que nous sommes traversés par un conflit intérieur entre ce que nous ressentons et ce que nous voudrions ressentir. D’un côté, notre corps garde intacte la mémoire de notre histoire – tout particulièrement des mauvais traitements que nos parents ont pu nous infliger –, de l’autre, il y a notre esprit, qui nous détermine à aimer et à honorer ces mêmes parents. Si ce livre explore les conséquences parfois dramatiques de ce conflit, il montre aussi qu’il existe des raisons d’espérer. Non, nous ne sommes pas obligés d’être les "bons" enfants de nos parents s’ils nous ont fait du mal ou s’ils continuent de pratiquer le chantage affectif. Oui, notre responsabilité est d’être attentifs aux signaux d’alerte que nous envoie notre corps. Au terme de ce chemin exigeant, il y a l’espoir de naître à une authentique liberté intérieure.

Though it may seem to be a normal problem, as it is very common, but it should not be taken carelessly, especially in case of habitual snorers, as it may be an indication of obstructed breathing.Now a days, there are many anti- snoring devices available in the market and every year more of them are added, promising to cure the snoring problem.

In this eBook, we discuss snoring, sleeping disorders, what causes snoring, and natural remedies including home remedies to treat snoring. Apart from that, we also talk about how to deal with the snoring complaints and how to cooperate and ask your partner to support you in curing the problem.

Seks, zdrowie i świadomość

Health, Mind & Body

Nasza seksualność jest integralną częścią tego, kim jesteśmy, jednak nasze rozumienie seksu zostało wypaczone przez wszystko, od odwiecznych tabu i dogmatów religijnych po kulturę popularną, która postrzega seksualność jako transakcję.W swojej książce Liz Goldwyn, założycielka prężnie działającej platformy internetowej i podcastu The Sex Ed, stworzyła integracyjny, holistyczny i bardzo potrzebny przewodnik po seksualnym dobrostanie – przyjemności, która jest możliwa, gdy przyjmiemy naszą seksualność jako naturalną część zdrowego ludzkiego doświadczenia. Przedstawia inspirującą wizję świata, w którym nasza święta seksualność nie jest czymś, co należy ukrywać, ale czymś, co należy pielęgnować i doceniać. Liz w merytoryczny sposób prowadzi w kierunku tej nowej normalności za pomocą metod i umiejętności, które uwalniają zdrową przyjemność i zapewniają holistyczne podejście do człowieka jako całości złożonej z ciała, ducha i umysłu.W tym obszernym poradniku autorka pokazuje nam, jak zwiększyć swój potencjał przyjemności poprzez dogłębne zbadanie, jak nasza seksualność, zdrowie fizyczne i emocjonalne oraz świadomość są ze sobą ściśle splecione. „Seks, zdrowie i świadomość” wykracza daleko poza poradnik typu seks od A do Z. Obejmuje duchowe i energetyczne wpływy na seksualność – takie jak system czakr, energie yin i yang, praktyka mindfulness, traumy i wiele innych – wraz z czynnikami społecznymi i biologicznymi – w tym badaniami nad zdrowiem seksualnym i relacjami znanych osób o seksualnym przebudzeniu.

Courage to Face Long Loss

Health, Mind & Body

Being with a loved one through a degenerative illness or disease takes us on a journey that requires courage. Rather than an immediate singular loss, we experience ‘long loss’ which includes multiple losses and changes over time. Long loss requires us to face, endure, and adapt to what is happening. Written from a personal perspective of supporting older parents with vascular dementia and episodic delirium, this book defines and applies courage to manage this form of loss. Included is the wisdom of older adults from Christchurch, Aotearoa, New Zealand, who took part in the author’s doctoral study into courage. Their life experiences in managing adversity, from coping with a bombing in World War II to surviving domestic violence, illustrate courage, grit and resilience – and how to put these into action. Through the sharing of personal insights and knowledge, this book supports the application of inner strength and courage to help stay the course when experiencing the long loss of a loved one.
