At a young age, we're taught, that conditions in life decide how we should feel: satisfied or unsatisfied, happy or sad, or even angry. We're conditioned to meet the expectations of others regarding how things should be or what we should do, think, and feel. When others are happy with us or do things that are pleasing, our emotional thermostat rises, and we feel good. When life doesn't go according to expectations or someone is displeased with us, our emotional thermostat goes down. Th roughout time, we can lose our sense of self, who we are, and our happiness. In Zen Life Balance, author Darlene Alisa helps you feel a sense of internal peace, wherever you are in your life, regardless of the conditions or what anybody else thinks, says, or does. It's about giving yourself permission to feel as good as you're able in the current moment and not wait for others or outside conditions to change and adjust your emotional thermostat for you. Zen Life Balance is about looking for even the smallest reason to feel good, everywhere you go, no matter where you are in life. It's about connecting with the best part of you every day and remembering that your happiness is up to you. Ultimately, you're the one in control of how you want to feel.

I am an energy worker and have been working with adults on how to find and understand their true self.. I continue my work in this book with the goal to reach as many souls at a younger age and allow them to discover their true selves and to set them on their life path. In my work I see, as we age, the quest to be someone or do something of purpose in life.

Mother Earth's health crisis is no secret. What Awaits Us... does not shy from the truth about Earth's decline. Instead, through a truly enchanting tale, it expands our understanding of our enormous global challenge, and lays out a solution that every person on the planet can adopt. In astonishing and touching encounters, Nature's precious representatives telepathically deliver urgent messages that humankind's inhumanity is at the root of Earth's failing health. We discover from these sagacious creatures that the negative energy created from our thoughts, words, and deeds is even more destructive to the planet than is our material pollution. Although the messages funneled through this story are heartbreaking, hope is inspired when a diverse group of characters, including wildlife, amiable humans, deceased ancestors, and Those Who Came Before, collaborate in developing a plan to restore Earth's health. Through simple steps, The Plan, which is a transformative opportunity, teaches us how to release our negative tendencies. The Plan easily fits into our daily lives, and as we make positive changes, the Earth's health rapidly improves. By participating in The Plan, you will profoundly help the planet while also healing yourself.

Manifestation is a state of a more powerful flow, a state only achieved by raising your awareness and discovering your inner self. You manifest what you are. In A Journey into Spiritual Manifestation, author Dev Dutt approaches this topic from a nuanced and integrative perspective. Not only does he show you the true prism through which manifestation must be viewed, but he also shows you exactly how you can build the structure on which it rests. Drawing from, and combining, some amazing practices from different parts of the world, it is like a treasure map, a lighthouse, a guide for anyone who is serious about this extraordinary gift. Using a systematic method, Dutt discusses that manifestation is not a goal you chase. It's a state of energy, a state of higher flow, with which you need to align yourself. Before you can manifest your dreams, your body, mind, and spirit have to be capable of aligning with the vision you wish to bring into your life. You must tune your body and raise your consciousness, awareness, and receptivity.
