The Kissing Hand

The Kissing Hand, used by millions of parents and children starting school or facing separation, is now brought to life in audio form. Package includes a paperback book and a reading of the story on CD, with and without page-turn signals. Also included on the CD, on a separate track, is the new, original “Chester’s Song” with lyrics by Audrey Penn and set to beautiful music. A perfect addition to the home, classroom or library audio collection!Chester Raccoon doesn’t want to go to school–he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he’ll love school–with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that’s been in the family for years–the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son’s hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm–smack dab in the middle: “Chester felt his mother’s kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart.” Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother’s kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he–in a genuinely touching moment–gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn’s The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool–or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones. The rough but endearing raccoon illustrations are as satisfying and soothing for anxious children as the simple story. (Ages 5 and older) –Karin Snelson

The Power of Your Other Hand, Revised Edition

Brain researchers in recent years have discovered the vast, untapped potential of the brain’s little used, right hemisphere.

Lucia Capacchione has discovered that our non-dominant hand is a direct channel to that potential and, through the “other hand” exercises and experiments in this course, she will show you how to do such things as:

Talk to your inner child
Aid in recovery from addictions
Channel the deep inner wisdom of your True Self
Help your body to heal
Heal your relationships
Unlock creativity
Uncover hidden artistic abilities
Change negative attitudes about yourself

Like Betty Edwards groundbreaking work the New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Lucia’s research and field work with people using their other hand provides the raw material for this book. As an art therapist she has observed numerous people using these techniques and becoming more creative, expressive, and intuitive in their lives. She has also noticed people improving their health, developing inner healing powers, and receiving greater fulfillment in their relationships.

Through various drawing and writing exercises with your other hand, Lucia Capacchione hopes you will discover the power that lies hidden in your other hand. The exercises will help you explore and understand your thoughts and feelings on a completely different level, finding out things about yourself that have been buried or concealed for quite some time.

Praise for Previous Edition
“Lucia Capacchione’s workshop was a powerful tool on my healing journey. This book shares her insights and gives you the opportunity to heal your relationship with your inner child. Go for it!”
–Louise L Hay, author, You Can Heal Your Life

“A practical, playful, insightful and delightful way to get in touch with the lnner Self. It is remarkable that one’s own intuitive wisdom and creativity can be tapped so easily, in a process that is readily available to us”
