Where they wait : a novel / by Carson, Scott,1982-author.;
"Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. It's easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for his first visit in years. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas--relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the "Sleep Songs." A woman's hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing--it's disturbing, really, more of a warning than a relaxation--but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows. So do nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance--or are they threats? And soon her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him"--

Gone but not furgotten / by Conte, Cate.;
Maddie James has big plans for the summer season at JJ's House of Purrs. But when her friend, master meditator and Tai Chi teacher Cass Hendricks, brings a potential animal hoarding situation to her attention, Maddie has to refocus her attention on the furry felines who may need a helping paw. Cass has brought his Zen teachings to Fisherman's Cove--a tiny, working class town on Daybreak Island--and one of his students, Laurel, has been on the receiving end more than one hissy fit from her neighbors, mostly because of her cats. When Maddie and Cass go to Laurel's to check out the situation, not only do they find a plethora of cats in need, but also a dead body. Laurel appears to have had an unfortunate accident falling down her stairs, but Maddie gets a sneaking suspicion that something more sinister might be behind her death. When she voices her concerns, she's horrified that it's Cass who falls under suspicion. With Grandpa Leo's help, Maddie has to dig into the secrets this small community is keeping close to find out why Laurel really died before Cass is put behind bars... or the killer strikes again.

Noopiming : the cure for white ladies / by Simpson, Leanne Betasamosake,1971-author.;
"Noopiming is Anishinaabemowin for "in the bush," and the title is a response to English Canadian settler and author Susanna Moodie's 1852 memoir Roughing It in the Bush. Set in the same place as Moodie's colonial memoir, this genre-fluid novel is offered as a cure for Moodie's racist treatment of Mississauga Nishnaabeg in her writing. The giant Sabe meditates on the gifts and challenges of their recent sobriety. Migrating geese make a case for coordinated formation as a way to get out of "one's own cycling head." Racoons turn Bougie Kwe's Zen-garden pond into their personal urban spa. This is a world alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits who are all busy with the daily labours of healing -- healing not only themselves, but their individual pieces of the network, of the web that connects them all together. These stories gather up tiny pieces, one at a time, as they slowly circle through the perspectives of different characters, in a breathtaking act of world-building that rewards patience and deep listening. This is the real world, the one where meaning accumulates through close observation and relationship. Enter and be changed."--Provided by publisher.

Reverberation : do everything better with music / by Blanchard, Keith,1966-author.; Gabriel, Peter,1950-writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references."Music has been part of every human culture. We listen to music while we drive, exercise, eat, sleep, study, you name it; we spend hundreds to watch live musical performances; we soundtrack our weddings and funerals and everything in between. But why? We put music at the forefront of our lives because every drum solo and every aria causes our brains to fire off a cocktail of feel-good neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. Reverberation: Do Everything Better with Music is the perfect hybrid of neuroscience and pop culture, examining, deconstructing, and teaching us about the ways in which we can, do, and should use music in our everyday lives. With a foreword by Peter Gabriel and jam-packed with interviews with other artists and celebrities, this illustrated book explains the science behind how music motivates us and gives us useful tips, tricks, and playlists for how we can become the best version of ourselves through our music-listening habits. Touching on topics such as sleeping, studying and focusing, exercising, sex and love, aging and memory, meditating and chilling out, emotional healing, creating, pregnancy, and music in altered states, this book covers a wide range of topics and all genres of music"--

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made takes readers through their own bodies, delving into the molecular and even the quantum, and tells the story of our magnificent sensorium and what it means for the next wave of human potential. From the laboratories to the ordinary homes where these breakthroughs are taking place, the book explores our current sensory Renaissance and shows readers how they, themselves, can heighten their own senses and experience the miraculous"--
