Blue Diamond Healing: Exploring Transpersonal and Transdimensional Aspects of Energy Psychotherapy
by Phil Mollon“For decades, Phil Mollon has been one of the most thoughtful and well-grounded voices within the field of energy psychology. So when Dr. Mollon says he is dabbling with powerful healing forces you’ve never heard of, it’s worth a listen. And this book is so much more than just a listen, laying out a new take on the higher dimensions of human experience, integrating it with established psychological principles, and pointing to its implications for your life and practice.” David Feinstein, Ph.D. co-author of The Promise of Energy Psychology Blue Diamond healing, a development from energy psychotherapy, is the result of Phil Mollon’s many years spent exploring the deeper patterns in the human subtle energy system, working beyond the more familiar meridians and chakras. The ‘Blue Diamond’ functions as an energy centre allowing access to higher dimensions that therapists can draw upon to heal the problematic patterns at lower dimensions. Positive effects are achieved more quickly and easily by working from these higher levels, facilitating healing, emotional self-regulation and calming of the nervous system. In Blue Diamond Healing, Mollon provides a hypothetical map of dimensional levels and structures, combining psychology, physics, metaphysics, cosmology, and spirituality, all in one far-reaching framework. The book provides a sophisticated but concise outline of energy psychotherapy and the place of the Blue Diamond within it, including sections on best practice and the ethical aspects of this unique and powerful healing method.

The Blue Road To Atlantis
by Jay NussbaumIn the tradition of The Celestine Prophecy and Jonathan Livingston Seagull, THE BLUE ROAD TO ATLANTIS is an inspirational retelling of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. This is a gently humorous and ultimately touching story told from the perspective of a remora who is travelling with his mentor, a wise and beautiful marlin, to Atlantis in order to save the lives of all the fish in the ocean. En route to Atlantis, the marlin is hooked by a fisherman, who turns out to be Hemingway's character from The Old Man and the Sea. As the marlin struggles for survival, he ponders the meaning of life, the importance of love, friendship and forgiveness, the power of fear and the importance of following one's dreams at all costs. His thoughts encourage readers to 'go with the current' by accepting the ebb and flow of life and not fighting against our instinct and our intuition, but rather following the current of our heart and soul to happiness and contentment.

Bodies of Thought
by Ian BurkittIn this incisive and truly impressive book, Ian Burkitt critically addresses the dualism between mind and body, thought and emotion, rationality and irrationality, and the mental and the material, which haunt the post-Cartesian world. Drawing on the work of contemporary social theorists and feminist writers, he argues that thought and the sense of being a person is inseparable from bodily practices within social relations, even though such active experience may be abstracted and expanded upon through the use of symbols. Overcoming classic dualisms in social thought, Burkitt argues that bodies are not purely the constructs of discourses of power: they are also productive, communicative, and invested with powerful capacities for changing the social and natural worlds. He goes on to consider how such powers can be developed in more ethical forms of relations and activities.

Body Neutral: A revolutionary guide to overcoming body image issues
by Jessi KneelandA life-changing guide to reclaiming your relationship with your body and yourselfHave you ever thought that if only you could change the way you looked, your life would be better? It's so easy to imagine that by changing the outside of our bodies, we'd feel better on the inside. But we all know that even if we could magically attain a so-called 'perfect' body, our problems wouldn't actually be solved. That's because body image issues are never just about the body: they're always about something deeper inside.As a longtime personal trainer and coach, Jessi Kneeland has seen hundreds of clients achieve their fitness goals but still feel trapped in a web of body hatred, anxiety, obsession and dysmorphia. Searching for a solution, Kneeland set out on a quest to discover what it truly takes to help people understand, process and heal their body image issues for good. They share their discoveries in Body Neutral, where you'll learn:* The power of 'body neutrality' - the ability to accept and respect your body, even if it isn't the way you'd prefer it to be.* Which of the four 'body image avatars' - each of which represents a different root cause for body image issues - aligns with you and your relationship with your body: the self-objectifier, the high achiever, the outsider or the runner.* Actionable and unique methods to help you strip away the layers of false meaning, excess power, moral significance and shame that has been preventing you from both connecting to and appreciating your body and feeling truly worthy as a person.There is a reason you're unhappy with your body, and Body Neutral will help you discover what that reason is and how to defuse its power, freeing you to enjoy a life of true confidence, security and satisfaction.
Body Neutrality: Finding Acceptance and Liberation in a Body-Focused Culture
by Eleanor ClarkThis practical, accessible book teaches readers how to practice healthy body image habits and let go of an emphasis on body image through research, activities, and personal stories. Body neutrality is a body image approach focused on finding acceptance and liberation from the body-focused culture in which we live. Body neutrality is a shift toward seeing our bodies as a vessel of who we are rather than as who we are. This guide is organized into thirteen chapters, each outlining a different concept of body neutrality ranging from comparison and identity to mindfulness and gratitude, inviting participation from the reader through end-of-chapter activities. For anyone aiming to release the enslaving emphasis placed on appearance in a world where body obsession has become inappropriately “normal,” this book will provide insight and practical guidance toward freedom. Body Neutrality is for anyone struggling with self-esteem and body image issues who aims for acceptance and liberation.
