Abundância: O caminho interior para a riqueza
by Deepak ChopraDescubra as chaves para uma vida de sucesso, realização, plenitude e abundância. «Para alcançar uma riqueza duradoura, aquela que confere sentido, valor e sustento à vida, a sua existência diária deverá assentar na generosidade do espírito. Tudo o que desejar para além disso surgirá de forma natural.» DEEPAK CHOPRA Muitos de nós vivem e agem a partir de uma mentalidade de carência, escassez e limitação. Concentramo-nos no que não temos - segurança financeira, confiança, um relacionamento íntimo -, o que faz com que nos sintamos inseguros e desajustados. Pensamos: «Se conseguisse ter essas coisas, poderia ser feliz.» Mas medir a riqueza em dinheiro ou bens materiais deixa-nos esgotados e espiritualmente vazios. Insistir em lutar por mais, significa, muitas vezes, que o nosso ego controla os nossos pensamentos, ações e reações, o que nos impede de alcançar algo maior: uma verdadeira sensação de paz interior, aceitação e realização. No entanto, existe um caminho interior para a prosperidade e a abundância, que, uma vez traçado e explorado, oferece acesso às grandes riquezas do Universo e às possibilidades ilimitadas da vida. Em Abundância, o autor bestseller internacional Deepak Chopra ilumina esse caminho para o sucesso e a plenitude, ajudando-nos a explorar um sentido mais profundo de consciência, de modo que nos tornemos agentes de mudança nas nossas próprias vidas. Misturando ensinamentos antigos e práticas espirituais com a sabedoria que acumulou ao longo de quatro décadas como a principal figura da medicina mente-corpo, Chopra demonstra como transcender sentimentos autogerados de limitação e medo, para experimentar a verdadeira abundância em todos os aspetos da vida. Oferece um plano de sete etapas, juntamente com meditações e técnicas de atenção plena, o que nos ajuda a focar e dirigir a nossa atenção, energia e intuição, para podermos experimentar estabilidade, riqueza, conhecimento, criatividade, amor e verdadeiro poder. «Um guia envolvente destinado a "transformar consciência em riqueza" por meio do ioga e da meditação.»Publishers Weekly

Abundance: The Inner Path to Wealth
by Deepak ChopraAn enlightening guide to success, fulfillment, wholeness, and plenty, offering practical advice on how to cultivate a sense of abundance in times of fear and insecurity, from New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra&“To attain wealth of the lasting kind, the kind that gives your life meaning, value, and sustenance, base your daily existence on the generosity of spirit.&”—Deepak ChopraMany of us live and operate from a mind-set of lack, scarcity, and limitation. We focus on what we don&’t have—financial security, confidence, an intimate relationship—which keeps us feeling insecure and inadequate. We think &“if only I could have those things, I could be happy.&” But measuring wealth by money or material possessions leaves us feeling drained and spiritually empty. Constantly striving for more often means our ego is driving our thoughts, actions, and reactions, which prevents us from reaching something greater: a true sense of inner peace, acceptance, and fulfillment. Yet, there is an inner path to prosperity and wealth that, once charted and explored, provides access to the great riches of the universe and life&’s unbounded possibilities.In Abundance, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra illuminates this road to success and wholeness, helping readers tap into a deeper sense of awareness to become agents of change in their own lives. Mixing ancient teachings and spiritual practices with the wisdom he&’s garnered over four decades as the leading figure in mind-body medicine, Deepak demonstrates how to transcend self-generated feelings of limitation and fear in order to experience true abundance in all aspects of life. To do so, he offers a seven-step plan along with meditations and mindfulness techniques to help you focus and direct your attention, energy, and intuition so you can experience stability, affluence, insight, creativity, love, and true power.

Abs on the Ball: A Pilates Approach to Building Superb Abdominals
by Colleen CraigInnovative abdominal exercises to help tone the abdomen, improve posture, and build a strong back using the Swiss exercise ball. Offers a 10-minute and 20-minute workout for all levels of fitness. Shows how the mobility of the ball targets underutilized muscles. Shows how traditional sit-ups and "ab" machines limit how much abdominal muscles can be trained and also aggravate lower back pain and neck tension. The exercise ball has long been recommended by doctors, physical therapists, and Olympic coaches for people suffering from back pain. Now Colleen Craig, author of the bestselling book Pilates on the Ball, reveals why the exercise ball is unmatched as a tool for building superb abdominal strength. She presents a selection of over 80 innovative exercises, including some of the key powerhouse-builders from the Pilates Method, all of which she has adapted specifically to the ball. Craig shows how traditional sit-ups and "ab" machines actually limit the degree to which abdominal muscles can be trained and can even aggravate lower back pain and neck tension. In contrast, the very mobility of the ball targets underutilized muscles, recruiting both deep and superficial abdominal muscle fibers to enhance results. Abs on the Ball includes exercises for all ability levels that show how to properly use the breath and how to activate the correct muscles during a workout--from the core exercises of the Waterfall, Oblique Curls, and Full Abdominal Curls to the more advanced Side Twist Plank, the Teaser, and Backward Crunch. The author also offers a 10- and 20-minute workout designed not only to build the abdominal core, but also to strengthen and train deep muscles in the back and hip in order to soothe lower back pain and increase overall body strength, balance, and coordination.

Learning to trust in this Divine guidance brings peace as well as faith that everything happens for a reason. After twenty-five years spent giving nearly 30,000 consultations to people from all over the world, Tosha Silver realized that everyone had similar concerns: "How do I stop worrying? How can I know that things will work out? How can I feel safe?" and often, "Why do I feel so alone?" or "Who am I really?" Even individuals with years of spiritual practice often felt besieged by confusion, fear, or worry. Despite meditating, chanting, or practicing yoga, they didn't always have the practical tools for aligning with the Divine every day. Outrageous Openness provides just that: techniques to create a relaxed, trusting openness to answers as they spontaneously arise. Being open to the Divine's intervention has the power to change our lives, and Outrageous Openness teaches us how to trust in the Divine, a Force of Love that can help guide each of us in the most intimate and practical ways--if only we knew how to invite it in. At its heart, Outrageous Openness--a simple, delightful book of anecdotes, observations and fresh perspectives--opens the door to a profound truth. By allowing the Divine to lead the way, we can finally put down the heavy load of fervent hopes and fears and opinions about how things are supposed to be, just let them be, and delight in the spectacular show that is our life.

About What Was Lost
by Jessica Berger GrossIn this intimate anthology, twenty writers explore the grief and sadness--and hope--that living through a miscarriage can bring. Featuring such notable writers as Pam Houston, Joyce Maynard, Caroline Leavitt, Susanna Sonnenberg, and Julianna Baggott, among many others, About What Was Lost is the only book that uses honest, eloquent, and deeply moving narrative to provide much-needed solace and support on the subject of pregnancy loss. Today, as many as one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. And yet, many women are surprised to find that instead of simply grieving the end of a pregnancy, they feel as if they are mourning the loss of a child. Taken aback by their sorrow, they seek solace in similar perspectives--only to find that a silence and lingering stigma surrounds the topic. Revealing a wide spectrum of experiences and perspectives, this powerful collection offers comfort and community for the millions of women (and their loved ones) who experience this all-too-common kind of loss every year.
About Us: Essays From The New York Times' Disability Series
by Peter Catapano Rosemarie Garland-ThomsonBased on the pioneering New York Times series, About Us collects the personal essays and reflections that have transformed the national conversation around disability. <P><P> Boldly claiming a space in which people with disabilities can be seen and heard as they are—not as others perceive them—About Us captures the voices of a community that has for too long been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking not only to those with disabilities, but also to their families, coworkers and support networks, the authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them. Since its 2016 debut, the popular New York Times’ “Disability” column has transformed the national dialogue around disability. Now, echoing the refrain of the disability rights movement, “Nothing about us without us,” this landmark collection gathers the most powerful essays from the series that speak to the fullness of human experience—stories about first romance, childhood shame and isolation, segregation, professional ambition, child-bearing and parenting, aging and beyond. <P><P>Reflecting on the fraught conversations around disability—from the friend who says “I don’t think of you as disabled,” to the father who scolds his child with attention differences, “Stop it stop it stop it what is wrong with you?”—the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as “disabled” by the broader public. <P><P>Here, a writer recounts her path through medical school as a wheelchair user—forging a unique bridge between patients with disabilities and their physicians. An acclaimed artist with spina bifida discusses her art practice as one that invites us to “stretch ourselves toward a world where all bodies are exquisite.” With these notes of triumph, these stories also offer honest portrayals of frustration over access to medical care, the burden of social stigma and the nearly constant need to self-advocate in the public realm. <P><P>In its final sections, About Us turns to the questions of love, family and joy to show how it is possible to revel in life as a person with disabilities. Subverting the pervasive belief that disability results in relentless suffering and isolation, a quadriplegic writer reveals how she rediscovered intimacy without touch, and a mother with a chronic illness shares what her condition has taught her young children. With a foreword by Andrew Solomon and introductory comments by co-editors Peter Catapano and Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, About Us is a landmark publication of the disability movement for readers of all backgrounds, forms and abilities. <P><P>Topics Include: Becoming Disabled • Mental Illness is not a Horror Show • Disability and the Right to Choose • Brain Injury and the Civil Right We Don’t Think • The Deaf Body in Public Space • The Everyday Anxiety of the Stutterer • I Use a Wheelchair. And Yes, I’m Your Doctor • A Symbol for “Nobody” That’s Really for Everybody • Flying While Blind • My $1,000 Anxiety Attack • A Girlfriend of My Own • The Three-Legged Dog Who Carried Me • Passing My Disability On to My Children • I Have Diabetes. Am I to Blame? • Learning to Sing Again • A Disabled Life is a Life Worth Living
About Peace: 108 Ways to Be at Peace When Things Are Out of Control
by Scott ShawThese Zen meditations for modern times can help you find calm amid chaos. Conflict is a part of life. Zen Buddhism was even founded in conflict. No one can give anyone else peace: It comes to those who seek it—in the moment and for the moment only. But even as the pace accelerates and problems escalate, it&’s possible to gain inner peace. The past is gone and the future is unknown—so there&’s no time like the present to use these 108 meditations. They offer a very contemporary respite from internal and external conflict, well suited to the breakneck pace of life today. Their number and their form, however, is steeped in tradition. One hundred and eight is a sacred number in Buddhism, in which there is also the tradition of meditating with malas, strung beads which come in multiples of nine—27, 56, or 108. Their form follows Buddhist tradition as well: They are modern koans, or riddles to ponder, and dharma stories.
Abortion Pills Go Global: Reproductive Freedom across Borders (Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the 21st Century #7)
by Dr. Sydney CalkinAn unprecedented, up-close look into the global self-managed abortion movement. Abortion pills have made safe medication abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. In this timely book, Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. Abortion Pills Go Global demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. Taking a bold and unique geographic approach, this book follows these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States. Calkin shows that the growing availability of abortion pills in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.
Abortion Care
by Sam RowlandsThis comprehensive review of the emotive and often controversial topic of abortion provides clinicians with a multidisciplinary focus on abortion services, discussing clinical topics in their sociological, legal and ethical context. It is particularly timely as novel methods of service delivery make this vital resource more accessible, allowing abortion to be performed in community settings. Topics include medical and surgical methods of abortion, ultrasound scanning, pain control, complications, and abortion in women with medical conditions, as well as ethics, stigma, and human rights. Written by leading authorities in their subject areas, Abortion Care is essential reading for medical and nursing specialists and forms a useful resource in the delivery of graduate courses in the fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and sexual and reproductive healthcare. It is also of interest to professionals involved in planning, delivering and managing women's health services, including counsellors, service managers and public health specialists.
Abortion across Borders: Transnational Travel and Access to Abortion Services
by Christabelle Sethna & Gayle DavisA timely examination of how restrictive policies force women to travel both within and across national borders to access abortion services.Safe, legal, and affordable abortion is widely recognized as an essential medical service for women across the world. When access to that service is denied or restricted, women are compelled to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, seek backstreet abortionists, attempt self-induced abortions, or even travel to less restrictive states, provinces, and countries to receive care.Abortion across Borders focuses on travel across domestic and international boundaries to terminate a pregnancy. Christabelle Sethna and Gayle Davis have gathered a cadre of authors to examine how restrictive policies force women to move both within and across national borders in order to reach abortion providers, often at great expense, over long distances and with significant safety risks. Taking historical and contemporary perspectives, contributors examine the situation in regions that include Texas, Prince Edward Island, Ireland, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Eastern Europe. Throughout, they take a feminist intersectional approach to transnational travel and access to abortion services that is sensitive to inequalities of gender, race, and class in reproductive health care.This multidisciplinary volume raises challenging logistical, legal, and ethical questions while exploring the gendered aspects of medical tourism. A noticeable rollback of reproductive rights and renewed attention to border security in many parts of the world will make Abortion across Borders of timely interest to scholars of gender and women's studies, health, medicine, law, mobility studies, and reproductive justice.
