Finding Flow provides readers with a simple process to reclaim a close, playful relationship with God. This book adds a spiritual element to the current discussions by psychologists, athletes, and creatives about "flow," which author brian plachta defines as being one with the Divine Spirit who opens our hearts, allowing us to experience inner peace, balance, and wholeness. Finding Flow offers doable spiritual practices organized around: 1. Solitude: establishing rituals to spend daily "quiet time" to deepen our relationship with God 2. Spiritual reading: delving into books that teach and inspire 3. Community: surrounding ourselves with people who nudge us to grow 4. Contemplative Action: discovering our unique gifts and talents and using them to make the world a better place These practices derive from the tradition of Saint Benedict, a fifth-century father of the Church who required his monks to establish a Rule of Life consisting of daily balance between prayer and work (ora et labora). Finding Flow takes Benedict's timeless wisdom, recrafts it with modern language and personal stories, and makes the monk's wisdom accessible to today's readers. +

Foreword by Arlene R. Devries, M.S.E. A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children (2007), the quintessential compendium of raising gifted children, has been revised! In this new edition, coauthors Edward R. Amend Psy.D., Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, and Janet Gore, M.Ed. reinforce the reliable approaches originally explored in the first edition, while drawing extensively on the wealth of research and information developed over the last 15 years in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education. Our children are navigating a world that in many crucial ways is quite different from the one that existed in 2007. The new Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children includes issues of social media, screen time, LGBTQ, and bullying. For gifted children however, many of the needs remain the same- advocacy, educational planning, access to true peers, and more. Rich in information and strategies, this edition will be referred to time and time again whether you are entirely new to gifted, completing your “active” parenting days, or supporting a gifted grandchild, student, or client. -

Ever heard yourself say, a part of me wants this, but another part of me wants that? Ever said, I'm in two minds... These statements make intuitive sense, because you intuitively know there are many parts to who you are, which seem to want different things. But have you ever stopped to wonder what these parts actually are? This book not only answers - in simple, accessible language, what parts are, how they work, and how they can help you understand your thinking, your emotions and your behaviors. And most importantly, how you can work with your parts to get out of your own way. Part of Me will take your self-awareness to the next level, by exploring your Inner Team, and the parts which populate it. Fifty of the most common parts are profiled in detail, so you can understand exactly what parts are driving you, and what parts you have neglected. Armed with this information, you'll be equipped to learn which parts are causing the problems you repeatedly experience, and what to do to get your Inner Team working for you, not against you. Part of Me is a comprehensive guide to the universe of parts within us, based on the Inner Team Dialogue coaching system.

The Inner Team Dialogue approach to personal development empowers you to experience: - A deeper, more nuanced understanding of who you are, and what drives you - An increase in self-compassion, and a reduction in self-criticism - Wiser decision-making, with less second guessing - Freedom to choose who you want to be - The feeling of being at peace with yourself. -

On the other side of the life you are trying to keep together, on the other side of the pain you think will never dissolve into peace, on the other side of everything you are forcing—is the life that is waiting. The life where you are not pushed by your fears, but moved by your vision. The life where the right things arrive, and remain, and you do not have to contort your truth to make them so. The life where you are actually living, not just waiting to begin. The life that is really yours. The life you arrive to the end of with tired eyes and a full heart. The life that you are proud of. The life that you actually want. The life that is gently asking you to let go, and see it. The life that's been waiting, all this time, for you to arrive.
