- The hidden power of the five hearts : empower your thoughts, balance your emotions, and unlock vibrant health and abundance / by Snyder, Kimberly,author.;
Includes bibliographic references."New York Times best-selling author Kimberly Snyder shows that your heart is not just a muscle pumping blood through your body or a metaphor for sentimental love. It is a center of profound intelligence. When you learn to work with your heart and harness your heart intelligence, you create heart coherence, or more efficient communication between your heart, brain, and nervous system. In doing that, you can access a far deeper intelligence--heart intelligence--that infuses the whole of your life with a different kind of synergistic power, paving the path to your best performance, higher health, incredible relationships, and the ability to find better solutions throughout your day, no matter what you are doing. There are five progressive stages that make up the process of awakening your heart intelligence and heart coherence, as well as unlocking the energetic, or spiritual, heart. These five stages of heart awakening are inspired by the teachings of the revered yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru to Paramahansa Yogananda. The Five Hearts are as follows: The Dark Heart ; The Propelled Heart ; The Steady Heart ; The Devoted Heart ; The Clear Heart. As she did in You Are More Than You Think You Are, Kimberly shares a modern perspective on ancient teachings through the lens of her own spiritual journey and experiences of the heart as well as the latest research in science, psychology, and personal transformation. Using practical exercises, meditations, and journaling prompts, Kimberly teaches that following your heart does not mean going along with strong, obsessive, or erratic thoughts and emotions--whether they are anger, desire, worry, infatuation, or fear--that ultimately limit the quality of your life. Instead, heart intelligence is calm, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent; it gives you access to more mental clarity and to expansive solutions that are the best for your life in the long term. It puts your body, mind, and life into peak performance"--- Subjects: Heart.; Meditation.; Mind and body therapies.;

- Waiting for the long night moon : stories / by Peters, Amanda,author.;
"In this intimate collection, Peters melds traditional storytelling with beautiful, spare prose to describe the dignity of the traditional way of life, the humiliations of systemic racism and the resilient power to endure. A young man returns from residential school only to realize he can no longer communicate with his own parents. A young woman finds purpose and healing on the front lines as a water protector. An old man remembers his life as he patiently waits for death. And a young girl nervously dances in her first Mawi'omi. The collection also includes the Indigenous Voices Award-nominated story "(Winter Arrives)." At times sad, sometimes disturbing but always redemptive, the stories in Waiting for the Long Night Moon will remind you that where there is grief there is also joy, where there is trauma there is resilience and, most importantly, there is power."--- Subjects: Short stories.; Indigenous peoples;

- All in her head : the truth and lies early medicine taught us about women's bodies and why it matters today / by Comen, Elizabeth,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.For as long as medicine has been a practice, woman's bodies have been treated like objects to be practiced on: examined and ignored, idealized and sexualized, shamed, subjugated, mutilated, and dismissed. The history of women's healthcare is a story in which women themselves have too often been voiceless-a narrative written from the perspective of men who styled themselves as authorities on the female of the species, uninformed by women's own voices, thoughts, fears, pain, and experiences. This continuing cultural and societal legacy results in the (mis)treatment and care of women. While the modern age has seen significant advancements in the medical field, the notion that female bodies are flawed inversions of the male ideal lingers on-as do the pervasive societal stigmas and ignorance that shape women's health and relationships with their own bodies. Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist and medical historian Dr. Elizabeth Comen draws back the curtain on the collective medical history of women to reintroduce us to our whole bodies-how they work, the actual doctors and patients whose perspectives and experiences laid the foundation for today's medical thought, and the many oversights that remain unaddressed. With a physician's knowledge and empathy, Dr. Comen follows the road map of the eleven organ systems to share unique and untold stories, drawing upon medical texts and journals, interviews with expert physicians, as well as her own observations from treating thousands of women. Empowering women to better understand themselves and advocate for care that prioritizes healthy and joyful lives-for us and generations to come-'All In Her Head' is written with humor, wisdom, and deep scientific and cultural insight. Eye-opening, sometimes enraging, yet always captivating, this shared memoir of women's medical history is an essential contribution to a holistic understanding and a much-needed reclaiming of women's history and bodies.- Subjects: Sexism in medicine.; Women's health services; Women; Women;
