From conscious creativity leader James McCrae comes a guide to reclaim creativity as a sacred path to healing, awaken your sense of wonder, execute your craft, and reclaim the artist within.Whether an accountant or a writer, you are an artist whether you realize it or not. You create your life in each passing moment. The question is, are you creating with conscious intention or creating by default? Creativity is our true magic. To be alive is to be in a state of constant co-creation with the universe, and the ability to convert our thoughts into reality is a defining characteristic of being human.

Here you'll find a flexible set of tools, exercises, rituals, and insights to help you address the most common impediments to the creative process, including: . Visual inspirations . Opportunities for creative play . Setting intentions . Cultivating intuition. Addressing emotion and your inner critic. Developing your own style. Creating with consistency. Art as service to the world "Art matters," says McCrae. "Art gives us comfort, opens our minds to new perspectives, and leaves us awestruck. Art is medicine-for ourselves, others, and the world." Here is an indispensable resource to awaken the creative power of your soul-whether you're a writer, painter, dancer, singer, or someone who wants to express your unique truth in work, life, and love.

A profound new approach to healing trauma, grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this nearly universal experienceFor centuries, we've been taught that being traumatized means we are somehow broken-and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship. But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society's understanding of trauma. "The body's trauma response is designed to save our lives-and it does," she says. "It's not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience."With Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, Dr. McDonald overturns the misconceptions about trauma with the latest evidence from neuroscience and psychology-and shares tested practices and tools to help you work with your body's coping mechanisms to accelerate healing. Here, you'll explore: . What is trauma? The latest science that undoes the stigmas of shame, blame, and humiliation. Moral injury-having our basic sense of how the world should work overturned. The truth about triggers-what they really are and how they can guide the healing journey. Traumatic patterns-new findings to help break free from recurring habits and toxic dynamics. Why we can always rewrite our inner narratives, no matter how much time has passed . Finding a "relational home" for trauma-how we can help each other return to wholenessDr. McDonald's case studies reveal the many ways trauma can manifest and persist in our lives, yet there's one factor every case has in common: the trauma response itself reveals the path to healing. "Our traumatic experiences reveal that we can be bent, dented, or bruised," she says, "but we cannot be broken." For anyone who has gone through trauma or wants to help others who are struggling, here is an empowering resource for finding our way home to our bodies, rebuilding our relationships, and returning to full engagement with life.

Supercharge your manifestation practice with this practical guide for invoking the help and guidance of the Universe."Why can't I make manifestation work?" Many people struggle with this question in their practice-and the answer, says expert teacher Tammy Mastroberte, is they're trying to do it alone. "The key," she says, "is to put down the stressful burden of changing your reality by yourself, and place the Universe in charge."In The Higher Help Method, Mastroberte affirms the Universe will support you to create what you want-or something even more incredible. To access the full potential of manifestation, you must learn to invoke the aid and wisdom of the divine with confidence, receptivity, and trust. Here, she shares her tried-and-true system for framing your intentions with clarity, calling in specialized higher help, recognizing guidance as it appears around you, and following the Universe's lead. Then she dives deeper with specific tools such as custom prayers, exercises, crystals, and rituals for manifesting in seven key areas: money and abundance, health and healing, emotional well-being, relationships, career, parenting, and spiritual connection."The Universe always responds when you ask for help," says Mastroberte. "When you learn to trust it as a partner, creating positive change becomes easier, more effective, and much more fun." Here is an indispensable guide for becoming a cocreator of your reality, supported by divine forces to consciously create a life you love.

The fascinating quest of a New York Times contributor to follow Mahatma Gandhi's code of ethics in modern times-and to discover what it actually takes to "Be the change you want to see in the world"Mahatma Gandhi championed truth and nonviolence, led the struggle for India's independence, and staunchly stood up for the marginalized. "When I despair," he said, "I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won." In Becoming Gandhi, veteran journalist and author Perry Garfinkel sets out on a three-year quest to examine how Gandhi's ideals have held up in a world beset by troubling trends. "As I saw myself and society moving further away from a moral point of view," Garfinkel states, "I wanted to see if an ordinary person living in the 21st century could, like Gandhi, follow a morally driven game plan." While tracing Gandhi's legacy through India, England, South Africa, and even American communities where his spirit endures, Garfinkel attempts to follow six of the key principles that guided the Mahatma's life:. Truth-Practicing honesty in thoughts, words, and actions in an increasingly artificial world. Nonviolence-Choosing peace in our words, behavior, and even choice of entertainment. Vegetarianism-The complex ethics of deciding what we put in our mouths. Simplicity-How to find practical antidotes to conspicuous consumer culture. Faith-Exploring the meaning of our lives and our relationship with what we cannot know. Celibacy (wait, really?)-The search for a moral path between permissiveness and abstinenceTo many, Gandhi was a beacon of hope; to others, a lightning rod for controversy. As Perry Garfinkel found, walking (and even stumbling) in Gandhi's footsteps can reveal how we each have a role to play in creating a more compassionate, peaceful world. "Being Gandhi is unattainable," Garfinkel observes. "But becoming more Gandhi-like will continue to engage me as long as I live. How about you?"
