Sat's obsession for more than three decades of being a chef has been big, bold flavor, and that's not something he's prepared to sacrifice to ensure his food is also heart healthy. He still enjoys the odd steak and glass of red wine - since we all, occasionally, need to treat ourselves - but it's always in moderation. His diet focuses on lean protein and a mix of legumes, good fats - such as avocado, nuts and olive oil - vegetables and fruits, as well as seasonings that will help elevate any dish. The recipes are designed for every day, use ingredients that can be bought from any supermarket and are accompanied by advice written by nutritionist Dr Neil Williams highlighting the ingredients that are rich in the vitamins and minerals that aid heart health.

Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour covers an area of education and emotional wellbeing that tends either to be overlooked or to fall between professional domains. It provides information that helps parents, teachers, and other professionals to understand what lies behind the underachieving children and adults who suffer from balance-related anxiety disorders.The method fills a yawning gap in "the system," which often fails to recognize underlying physical factors in underachievement, behavioural, and emotional problems. Identifying some of the mechanics involved is the first stage in moving from victimhood to being able to live with a problem and, in many cases, overcome it. This helps parents and teachers to understand children better, introduce more effective coping strategies when needed, and ideally correct some of the underlying problems, enabling children and adults to become more resilient and flexible in response to stress and to realize their real potential.Educators, learning professionals, child psychologists, doctors, movement specialists and parents will find this book to be an indispensable and unique resource.

Silver Winner, Personal Growth & Self Help, Nautilus Book Awards "A rare achievement that discusses the witch wound with historical depth and also offers practical invitations to heal the wound on a personal and collective level."--Danielle Dulsky, author of The Holy Wild You were born to live a magical life.

This work is about taking steps now to reclaim your power, live a more magical life, and embody your most authentic self. This book will lead you through a diverse range of practices, including spell work, rituals, meditations, and journal prompts to help you uncover and work through feelings of reticence, uncertainty, and fear. Some practices may not resonate for you, while others may be deeply impactful. Take what works, adapt and customize where you can, and leave the rest. This is your journey.

A road map to harness the power of our collective human consciousness as a source for healing our traumatized worldWe are all interconnected-and dependent on each other to shape the world in which we live. Yet even though technology has allowed us to digitally share our lives with more people than ever, the result has been a growing pattern of personal isolation, alienation, and division. Why is this? "We are seeing the manifestation of collective trauma," says luminary Thomas Hübl, who has reached thousands of people around the world through his teachings on mysticism and healing. "The profoundly complex challenges we face demand a new level of human collaboration." In Attuned, Hübl, together with writer Julie Jordan Avritt, shares a visionary guide for individuals, therapists, and other professionals committed to healing our struggling world. Attuning to a person, group, or organization means coming into resonance by listening mindfully to the inner sensations, feelings, images, and information that arise. At the core of the book is the "relational field"-a vast matrix of energy through which information is shared within, around, and between us. In each chapter, you'll find insights and practices for perceiving and tuning in to oneself and others, and ultimately contributing to the healing of this field, including:. The mystical and evolutionary principles behind human development and connection. Resources for embodying resilience, processing toxic stress, and regulating our individual and collective nervous systems. Attunement practices for working with the effects of trauma in yourself and across communities. Transparent communication-a practice of relating through authentic awareness and vulnerability. Guidance for group facilitators, healing ancestral trauma, and moreBy embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond to and evolve through the challenges of our age. "It may take only a small number of us," explains Hübl, "to establish a new level of collective coherence-to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world."
