Moon Affirmations: Daily Meditations Using the Moon Phase to Focus Your Energy

Moon Affirmations provides 15 minutes to help you feel better by focusing your energy on YOU. These affirmations tap into the energy of the ever changing moon to help you deal with whatever is most needed at that moment. Keeping in mind your already crowded schedule, each night has a short affirmation poem and meditation activity focusing on the energy of the moon phase. The meditations are meant to take very little time but delve deeply into your inner self to bring you insight. Each moon phase lasts slightly longer than three days. This book has three meditations per phase with one extra meditation to help fill in the added time per phase. The phases of the moon represent different energy. These energies can be used to focus meditations. The journey can start at any time during the moon phases, just turn to the appropriate page and start down the path. Beginning with the new moon energy and moving through all eight phases it takes the reader from birth of self discovery to the full moon of complete fertility. Then shifts the energy inward as the moon starts to wane towards the dark moon phase. The purpose of this book is to give a positive lift to your life, to help you feel better about yourself.

The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life – Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process

In those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process.

Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we don’t succeed? In his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have forgotten the principles of practice — the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isn’t drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity.
