Sisters Isabelle and Laura Hof have been practis­ing and teaching the Wim Hof Method for most of their lives. Science-backed and potentially life-changing, the method focuses on three pillars – breathing, cold therapy and mindset – which can result in increased energy, better sleep, a strength­ened immune system and more. While the method works for everyone, it has unique physical and men­tal health benefits for women.Inspired by the potential of the method, Isa­belle and Laura started the Icewomen community, devoted to unlocking the power of these practices. In this empowering book they invite all women to join the community, and share the groundbreaking research behind the benefits, from improving mental health, boosting confidence and balancing hormones to enhancing hair and skin health and having a positive impact on pregnancy, breastfeeding, meno­pause and more. Secrets of the Icewomen also offers detailed advice specifically tailored for women and their needs, including how to: 
<ul><li>plan your WHM practice around your cycle</li><li>work on setting strong intentions</li><li>adjust and rest if dealing with serious condi­tions or hormonal imbalances, and</li><li>learn to understand the (very normal!) range of emotions people have when undergoing cold therapy.</li></ul> 
No longer the domain of extreme athletes and wellness-minded men, cold water therapy is being discovered and embraced by women everywhere.With this book, Isabelle and Laura make the prac­tices more accessible than ever. Their hope is to convince those who may not have thought this life­style was for them, to knock down gender barriers and to offer an invitation: Come on in, the water is very cold – and just the cure to reinvigorate and restore you in body, mind and spirit.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter offers a blueprint for deepening your compassion, kindness and gratitude so you can truly grow in harmony with another person and build stronger connections in all your relationships. 
 
'Personal transformation that is grounded in self-love and has greater inner peace as the goal will naturally teach you how to love better. Seeing yourself clearly opens the door to compassion for yourself and for other people.' 
 
Love enters our lives in many forms: friends, family, intimate partners. But all of these relationships are deeply influenced by the love we have for ourselves. If we see our relationships as opportunities to be fully present in our healing and learn to love one another better, then, Yung Pueblo assures us, we can transform and meet one another with compassion instead of judgment. 
 
In How to Love Better, Yung Pueblo examines all aspects of relationships, from the rose-coloured early days when you may be hesitant to show your full self, to the challenges that can arise without clear communication, to dealing with heartbreak and healing as you close a chapter of your life. The power of looking inward remains at the core of Yung Pueblo’s teachings. Ego and attachment can become barriers in a relationship, so the more self-aware you become, the more you can support both your partner and yourself. 
 
Yung Pueblo’s insights on embracing change, building a foundation of honesty, and learning to listen selflessly will resonate regardless of where you are in your healing journey. And his unique combination of poetry, personal experience and thoughtful advice will help you grow and strengthen all of your relationships.

Hollie Starling

It was the last of the ebbing days, the brink of the new season. It was the murky hours, the clove between sunset and sunrise. It was a tall tree with deep roots and it had been bleeding for a long while. 
 
As summer falls into autumn, Hollie Starling is hit by the heart-stopping news that her father has died by suicide. Thrust into a state of 'grief on hard mode', Hollie feels underserved by current attitudes toward grief and so seeks another way through the dark.

The Bleeding Tree is an unflinching year-zero guidebook to grief that shows us that by looking back to past traditions of bereavement we can all find our own way forward.

Through case histories which mirror the lives of ordinary people everywhere, Dr Craig Brown shows that physical illness is often the expression of a deeper emotional and spiritual problem.

In this highly readable book, Dr Brown offers practical suggestions, excercises and ideas to help you: 
 
*Confront and release your own negative attributes 
*Find a balance between your body, mind and spirit 
*Establish harmony with your environment 
*Discover your own path to optimum healing and inner peace

A Practical Guide to Finding Holistic Health/Inner Peace

Rudolph E. Tanzi

Heal yourself from the inside out 
 
Our immune systems can no longer be taken for granted. Current trends in public healthcare are disturbing: our increased air travel allows newly mutated bacteria and viruses to spread across the globe, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria outstrip the new drugs that are meant to fight them, deaths due to hospital-acquired infections are increasing, and the childhood vaccinations of our aging population are losing their effectiveness. Now more than ever, our well-being is at a dangerous crossroad. 
 
But there is hope, and the solution lies within ourselves. The Healing Self is the new breakthrough book in self-care by bestselling author and leader in integrative medicine Deepak Chopra and Harvard neuroscientist Rudolph E Tanzi. They argue that the brain possesses its own lymphatic system, meaning it is also tied into the body’s general immune system. 
 
Based on this brand new discovery, they offer new ways of increasing the body’s immune system by stimulating the brain and our genes, and through this they help us fight off illness and disease. Combined with new facts about the gut microbiome and lifestyle changes, diet and stress reduction, there is no doubt that this ground-breaking work will have an important effect on your immune system.

Joanne Ruthsatz

Kimberly Stephens

'[AN] IMPORTANT BOOK' TEMPLE GRANDIN 
 
Over the course of her career, psychologist Joanne Ruthsatz has assembled the largest-ever research sample of child prodigies. Their accomplishments are epic. One could reproduce radio tunes by ear on a toy guitar at two years old. Another was a thirteen-year-old cooking sensation. And what Ruthsatz’s investigation revealed is noth&shy;ing short of astonishing. Though the prodigies aren’t autistic, many have autistic family members. Each prodigy has an extraordinary memory and a keen eye for detail—well-known but often-overlooked strengths associated with autism. 
 
Ruthsatz proposes a startling possibility: might the abilities of child prodigies stem from a genetic link with autism? And could prodigies - children who have many of the strengths of autism but few of the challenges - be the key to a long-awaited autism breakthrough? 
 
This inspiring book about extraordinary children, indomitable parents and a researcher's unorthodox hunch is essential reading for anyone interested in the brain and human potential.

The Prodigy's Cousin

The family link between Autism and extraordinary talent

Jay Ingram

It has been called ‘the plague of the 21st century’ for its dramatic increase in numbers and the challenge it poses to health care. There are no effective treatments, merely a few drugs that promise only short-lived results. For centuries, those afflicted by Alzheimer's disease have been robbed of their memories and ability to think clearly; while families have watched their loved ones disappear day by day. 
 
In The End of Memory, award-winning author Jay Ingram charts the history of the disease, explaining the fascinating science behind it, recounting the efforts to understand and combat it, and introduces us to the passionate researchers who are working to find a cure. This is an important book for the millions of people around the world who are affected by Alzheimer’s, as well as those who are intrigued by both the ageing process and the brain, and wish to understand them better.

WANT TO READ JUST ONE BOOK ABOUT AUTISM? READ THIS. 
 
Written by Temple Grandin – one of the world’s most well-known autistic thinkers – The Autistic Brain is the groundbreaking, insightful and inspirational bestseller that combines scientific research with real lived experience to offer an accessible, hopeful and practical look at what autism really is. 
 
'An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents - and all people' Time 
 
It's estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum. Thanks to ground-breaking new research, there is far more hope for them today than ever before. 
 
In this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers her own experience as an autistic person alongside genetic research and remarkable new discoveries about the autistic brain. 
 
Grandin highlights the need to treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis and argues that raising and educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique contributions. 
 
Her compassionate, authoritative, and accessible writing will assist not only fellow autistics and families with neurodivergent members, but also researchers and physicians seeking to better understand the condition. 
 
Written in a clear and concise way, and with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis, this inspiring guide will change the perception of autism. 
 
Praise for The Autistic Brain: 
 
'The Autistic Brain can both enlighten readers with little exposure to autism and offer hope and compassion to those who live with the condition' Scientific American 
 
'Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different but coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us...' New York Times

Exploring the Strength of a Different Kind of Mind

Marianne Williamson

'Marianne Williamson reveals, with elegant simplicity, that love is not a mere sentiment of emotion, but the ultimate truth at the heart of creation' Deepak Chopra For millians of Westerners, the quest for material gain has led to increasing frustration and unhappiness. Now, says spiritual philosopher Marianne Williamson, our hunger for worldly gain has been transformed, for many of us, into hunger for spiritual renewal. What we deeply long for most is the experience of paradise. In this inspiring new work, Williamson explores different aspects of the power of that vision - the possibility of the highest love made manifest on Earth - in a series of reflective essays accompanied by prayers and meditations. Topics include the power of faith, innocence, being seen, forgiveness, blamelessness, healing, surrender, serenity, beauty and unity. For people seeking to enhance their lives, Williamson's insights lay the groundwork for spiritual evolution and fulfillment. Her practical advice will guide readers towards a place where passion, creativity and freedom - most important, the freedom to express and infinite love - are recognised not only as the soul's most potent desire, but also as the ultimate destiny of the human race.

She also suggests how to identify and heal the negative aspects of this inheritance, to avoid passing the mistakes of the past onto those who come after us.

James Hewitt explains how to use practical relaxation techniques such as self-hypnosis and breathing exercises safely and sensibly. He shows how, if used every day, these techniques can help relax tense minds as well as tense muscles, and even open up the possibility of 'peak experiences'.

Lilla Bek

Philippa Pullar

What is spiritual healing? How does it work? Can anyone do it? 
 
In this classic guide, Lilla Bek and Philippa Pullar explain how spiritual healing connects the body back to its spiritual roots, allowing the healing process to take place. To activate this process, the healer directs energies to the patient. 
 
Spiritual healing draws upon the ancient wisdom of the chakras as a complement to orthodox medicine, and can enhance the work of doctors by allowing the sick to tap into their own resources, triggering within themselves a return to health. We all have the potential to heal: Bek and Pullar describe how to train and develop your own healing capacities in order to become a healer yourself.

The Seven Levels Of Healing

Jeanne Achterberg

This ground-breaking work examines the role of woman as healer from prehistoric times to the present day. Award-winning scientist Jeanne Achterberg considers ancient cultures in which the chief diety was feminine and women worked as honoured healers; the role of women healers in the classical world; the birth of science; and the events that led to the persecution of women for witchcraft. She examines the development of professions such as midwifery and nursing, before finally discussing the role of women and the state of the healing arts today. 
 
Throughout, Dr Achterberg explains the connection between the status of women healers and the culture in which they live. She explores how societies express what she calls 'the feminine myth' - the group of qualities, behaviours and belief systems traditionally associated with women - and the implications that this myth holds for us today.

Woman As Healer

'Perfect health, pure and invincible, is the state we have lost. Regain it, and we regain a world.' 
 
In Journey Into Healing essential ideas from the work of Deepak Chopra are arranged to create a transcendent experience for the reader, a journey into healing. Along the path, we discover that what we think and feel can actually change our biology. We learn to go beyond self-imposed limitations that create disease, and to seek that place inside ourselves that is at one with the infinite intelligence of the universe, the source of life. 
 
By the end of this book, our consciousness will have been altered by the experience of the journey itself. Such change has the power to transform our lives, to grace us with gifts of lasting peace and perfect health. The final pages contain techniques for Mindfulness Mediation, which can access the silent space between our thoughts and tap into the inner wisdom that will make all our dreams come true.

Journey Into Healing

Awakening the Wisdom Within You

Paul McDermott

It was Autumn when Paul McDermott stood on the doorstep of a house that would exert a pull on him years after he closed the door for the final time. He was nervous, and totally unprepared to meet the woman he had agreed to visit. Val lived in this house, in a small military town; she was 74 and had been diagnosed with cancer. Though bewildered and frightened underneath, she appeared simply as a small, wrinkled, elderly woman with a mischievous awareness and a penetrating stare. 
 
So began Paul's series of regular visits to Val over a number of years. As he sat and listened to her talk in her front lounge, or struggled ineptly with the tasks she set him, Val opened up her world: the secrets and memories and lessons of her life that were soon to be extinguished and perhaps forgotten. Gradually, as she came to terms with her past - and also with her future - she took on an effortless clarity and peace that brought her into a supremely human focus. And, at the same time, Paul's own perceptions were challenged in a way he would never have believed when he first arrived at her door. Somehow they created something profound and very precious between them. 
 
Full of a surprising warmth, mixed with courage and humour, this remarkable story is deeply life-affirming, not only for the two central characters on their parallel journey - but also for us all.

Seven steps to open your heart to love

'Our homes are mirrors of ourselves. Through them we can interface with the universe.' 
 
Everything in the universe is composed of constantly changing energy, including our homes and their contents. By clearing and enhancing this energy, we can turn our living spaces not only into sanctuaries for ourselves but also into places which radiate positive energy for the benefit of others. 
 
In this fascinating and unusual book, international lecturer and healer Denise Linn shows how we can infuse our homes (and offices) with a sense of cosmic order so they become nurturing centres of strength and health. Drawing upon her Cherokee Indian heritage, as well as the knowledge she has personally collected from the native traditions around the world, Denise offers simple but effective techniques including how to use: 
--Feng Shui 
--Spirit Smoke 
--Purifying Fire

--The Way of the Shaman 
to help us create a sacred space wherever we make our home.
