Author Corinne Zupko undertook her study of psychology out of necessity when debilitating anxiety threatened to derail her life. Seeking ways to do more than temporarily alleviate her symptoms, Corinne began to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM), mindfulness meditation, and the latest therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety.

Whether struggling with everyday stress or near-crippling discomfort, you will find that Corinne’s approach offers a new way of healing from — rather than just coping with — fear and anxiety.

The universal heart guided and embraced Kathy Collins through her *Doubting Thomas* phase and guided her to acquiescence through self-compassion. The creative nudges experienced provided the necessary building blocks that led Kathy to be of service to others. Upon entering her chaplain studies, Kathy s chaplain supervisor could not classify her with any one particular religion, so he referred to her as a mystic who lives the spirit of the word.
The spiritual healing of her heart, her physical body, and her thinking allowed her to be a bridge between dimensions. Today she uses her gifts to help those transitioning, at the end of life, to release the chains of fear regarding death. Her mystical approach to those left behind on the Earth Plane teaches them to know we are all closer than one thinks.
Chaplain Kathy asks us to be still and experience the unique connection of bringing Heaven and Earth together. The Divine Source resides and is waiting for all of us in the loving memory of our own beating heart.

We are made up of star stuff! This elegant idea became tangibly real when the liberal clergy author was handed a cottonwood twig with a tiny star hiding inside. Gathering up fists full of these star sticks, and in collaboration with her ‘rocket scientist’ partner, she set out to reframe the human experience within its cosmic context. Here she shows how living in communion with the cosmos can affect the way we live in community, understand ourselves, and connect with the Source of all Becoming. In the addendum, she invites readers to add to the evolving new cosmic narrative of living ‘from ashes to ashes, dust to dust, star stuff to star stuff.’

Often spoken at the end of a prayer, a well-known Sioux phrase affirms that “we are all related.” Similarly, the Sioux medicine man, Brave Buffalo, came to realize when he was still a boy that “the maker of all was Wakan Tanka (the Great Spirit), and . . . in order to honor him I must honor his works in nature.” The interconnectedness of all things, and the respect all things are due, are among the most prominent—and most welcome—themes in this collection of Indian voices on nature.
Within the book are carefully authenticated quotations from men and women of nearly fifty North American tribes. The illustrations include historical photographs of American Indians, as well as a wide selection of contemporary photographs showing the diversity of the North American natural world. Together, these quotations and photographs beautifully present something of nature's timeless message.

Mental health is becoming a worldwide epidemic. Doctors will tell you that depression and unhappiness stem from:
Emotional trauma
Inability to cope with life or stress
Self-hate
Being wronged by others
Feelings of unworthiness
Hidden shame
These are definitely causes for depression and unhappiness, and these are the symptoms that are treated for those seek help. But what most people don't know is that there is a root cause that is responsible for all of those symptoms.
The root cause can be summed up as:
Loneliness
Misplaced emotions
Misplaced forgiveness
You've heard the phrase "cut the head off the snake, and the body will die." Nothing is more true in the field of psychology, medicine, and the pursuit of happiness.
The field of medicine has taken a tragic turn over the last few decades. Symptoms are treated, rather than the cause. Where psychiatrists once spent weeks, months, or years trying to find the cause of a patient's depression, they now skip right to working out a medication regiment as quickly as possible.

Roxanne is teaching me that my beliefs do not always serve me well. She has helped me stop letting my belief system drag me down." - JC, New Jersey
From the Author: "In my book, I share a variety of examples that are real life-related events, and how each negative event created negative brain patterns. Negative experiences can be transformed into positive brain patterns which create a healthier way of living, and open spiritual pathways toward higher consciousness.
It feels great to be in a state of awareness, and consciousness to know where my life is heading. The things that impacted my life that kept me closed up for so many years no longer have a hold on me. It wasn't always that way. I had taken on victim energy, and through my transformation, I learned how to release this energy and regain my power. Overcoming these traumas has opened my heart to sharing information as a healing tool for many other people.
My goal is to reach and transform as many lives as possible to awaken other people to this same level of consciousness, one soul at a time tarting with mine. I am inspired and motivated by the outer realms of my mind that which I see but may not yet be visible to others. I try to stay open at all times to receive new information to deliver to those who are open to new possibilities and want to receive healing for the body-mind-spirit."

Using chakras and art is like having a template to achieve balance, forgiveness, and peace. Life is challenging; our world often seems chaotic and tumultuous. Learning to assess and treat your chakra imbalances helps you to cope with these challenges and to find inner peace.
Through the use of true stories, both her own and those of others, Teresa McCallum provides examples of balanced and imbalanced chakras. She offers simple activities, methods, and art suggestions to help others achieve personal growth and inner balance. Teresa's background as a nurse working in mental health, as well as being a visual artist, lead her to develop a unique way of looking at spirituality, self-healing, and use of the ancient chakra system. Regardless of whether the chakra system is new to you or you are an experienced yogini (or yogi), Finding Balance and Forgiveness Through Chakras and Art will provide artistic insight and guidance.
Teresa says, "In creating this book, I surveyed hundreds of people to discover their secrets of success and resilience. I was overwhelmed with the honesty and meaningful responses I received, but until I had fully explored and become engaged in the chakra system, I didn't have a cohesive method to assist people in overcoming their challenges. There are seven chakras, and my seven categories mirrored them perfectly. After exploring and experiencing the energetic transformative power of working with chakras, I realized what the focus of my book would be because art had provided therapy for both me and my patients. So, I was able to unleash my inspired voice which allowed me to complete the book I had conceived many years ago. My personal experiences and the experiences of others have allowed me to create this introduction to healing your chakras by using art therapeutically to find your balance and learn how to let go and forgive."
Part grimoire, part memoir, this quirky, eclectic collection of essays, fables, spells and prayers explores the boundary between the sacred and the mundane, and finds it extraordinarily porous and educational. The Miracle du jour seeks the subtle ways in which a spiritual relationship with nature and the world can touch our lives in miraculous and healing ways. Comprised of shorter pieces with such evocative titles as: Perched: Observations by a 21st Century Gargoyle, The Extraordinary Thing, and Practice Limited to White Magic, The Miracle du Jour will get you thinking and leave you feeling. Feeling like a part of the world rather than apart from it. Feeling a little happier. You may find yourself a little less cynical and a little more hopeful. Although The Miracle du jour is deeply rooted in the mountains of the American Southwest, its inspiration and insight are crafted in such a way as to travel the wider world.
