Bücher von Karen Casey

In All We Have Is All We Need, Karen Casey's classic and simple wisdom is condensed into one- and two-sentence statements - road signs to lead us away from trouble, chaos, and drama and toward peace in our everyday lives. Casey, the founding foremother of daily meditation books for women, offers something different and unique here, something especially suited to the state of mind and heart that might be considered the opposite of peaceful.

'The sky rumbled over Tom and Nelly's house. The walls, the windows and the floor shook. Tom and Nelly counted down to the next clap of thunder: one, two, three. The sky boomed! Lightening lit the window, then the house went dark.' A terrible storm has ripped through the farm and there is a lot of fixing to do. But how can one little family get it all done? The Extraordinary Reunion takes you back to the magical world of the gum tree where all your favourite characters return to help solve the problems that are too big to tackle alone.The Extraordinary Reunion is Book 3 in the Extraordinary Gum Tree series. Also in the series are The Extraordinary, Unordinary Gum Tree (book 1) and The Extraordinary Tom Fink: where it all began (book 2).

Seven morning and evening practices to revolutionize your life. This small book will change everything if you let it. It's Up to You is based on the twelve principles in Casey's Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow: tending to our own gardens, focusing on solutions not problems, letting go of preconceived solutions, changing our minds, acting instead of reacting, giving up judgments, giving up trying to control, discovering our own lessons, doing no harm, quieting our minds, treating every encounter as the holy, and discerning our mind's own truth. It's Up to You invites readers to do three simple things: meditate, pay attention, and make choices to change their lives--for a few minutes each morning and evening, one principle a week for twelve weeks. As we reflect on Casey's insight into the insidious ways we create misery or drama, try to impose will, and suffer needlessly, and as we follow her gentle prompts to make different choices, we begin to see that we can change just about anything in our lives by taking these small steps. Nothing could be simpler, and nothing could be more effective. Or as Karen Casey puts it, """"Progress is guaranteed. Perfection isn't expected.""""

''Most of us think that our lives are just too complex, too difficult, too unique to be bettered by simple changes,'' Karen Casey writes. Not true! Nearly three decades ago Karen Casey wandered into a support group with the intention of figuring out how to change the behavior of someone in her life and heard, for the first time, that the only person she could change was herself. The result? Change so profound that Casey has dedicated much of her life to teaching others about it. Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow suggests that we have only two real choices in life. The first is to fall into despair, become numb, and let fear have its way with us. The second is to open our hearts to those around us, to heal ourselves and each other by changing how we respond in every interaction we have. We cannot change a person. We often cannot change a situation. We can change how we react. We can learn to think before we react. We can learn to act out of our own hearts rather than to react in hurt or anger. We can remember that we are not in control. When we stop focusing on problems, solutions tend to appear. Organized around twelve very simple steps, this book gives us the tools we need to find within ourselves the positive, peaceful response to every curve life throws us.
