That Kid 

When I focus 
With sincerity 
And clear intention 
I can take myself back 
To memories of myself 
When I was different 
It was a time before 
Life had given me 
All the experiences 
That resulted in 
My transformation to 
The me I am today 
And if I’m honest 
I really liked the kid 
I used to be 
That good heart 
The crazy imagination 
The innocence 
The optimism 
I wonder what that kid 
Would think of me now 
Wonder what I would say 
To that kid now 
If I had the chance 
Wonder if there’s 
Even the slightest possibility 
That I could figure out a way 
To move my life 
In some direction 
To make that kid proud 
Because that kid 
Deserves it

Essential Healing For Your Spirit And Soul: 20 Spiritual Practitioners Share Wisdom and Inspiration to Create Life-Changing Transformation and Healing

Ten years ago I walked away from a job I loved. My passion for my work was crushed after I realized that the management did not share the same morals and business ethics that I believed in. I was completely devastated – it felt like a divorce. I couldn’t understand how this could happen to me because I truly believed I would work for this company forever. Now what? Years later I am so grateful for that experience because it sent me down a path to discovering and creating a spiritual practice. In order to heal myself, I devoured every book I could find on intuitive guidance, life coaching, soul purpose and spiritual healing. It totally changed my life. I started my own business publishing a magazine, left unhealthy relationships, and finally felt like I had found my purpose again. Then, the most profound insight came from a meeting with the director of an energy medicine school. She said to me, in a whisper, “You see, at this school we believe that we are all spirits having a human experience.” There was a part of me in which that statement resonated so clearly and profoundly, I knew it to be true to the very core of my being. This further inspired my journey into spirituality, mysticism, metaphysics and the understanding that we are so much more powerful than we realize. We are spirit having a human experience and we do, indeed, have the power to change our reality through thought. Because of this incredible journey, I was guided to create this book. A collaboration of 20 spiritual healers from all areas of spirituality and healing practices provide wisdom and insight for those of you seeking what’s next; those of you struggling to find purpose, balance or spirituality in your life; and those of you who may be called to the healing profession.

The Three Ascensions Of Empowerment: A Dynamic Process for Emotional Alchemy and Transformation

Resulting from her personal transformation, Lisa Marie has identified the anchors that keep many of us feeling stuck in our life and precisely how to unhook them. In offering a perspective that shows evidence of your actual capacity to deliberately influence your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, she brings the light and clarity you need to most effectively and joyfully create the life you desire. She takes you through a process of emotional alchemy teaching you how to resolve your negative cellular memories, thus obliterating self-rejection and destructive self-beliefs. Lisa Marie also shows you how to become clear about your desires and to deeply appreciate your inherent abilities. You will gain a deeper awareness of your internal resources and authentic values hierarchy so that you may make use of their incredible leveraging power in creating the conditions and experiences you desire. As a whole, the content in this book will bring you to the understanding that your power resides within the expression of your truth. It will guide you to a place of internal freedom. Your innate happiness is only temporarily buried underneath layers of distorted beliefs, and habitual thoughts and emotional patterns. Lisa Marie states that upon realizing that her old paradigm constructed of shame and disempowerment mirrored a social epidemic, her intention for developing the Arete [ahr-i-tey] Process was born. This book was written to expose you to the hidden layers of your own default template of reality. Specifically the layers that are responsible for most of the frustration and unhappiness you may be experiencing. After bringing awareness to the denied aspects of yourself, she then gracefully shows you evidence against your most destructive core-beliefs (responsible for keeping certain aspects of yourself suppressed) relative to the vantage point of absolute truths. And from this new space, she teaches you how to heal what needs healing, and how to consciously alter emotional addictions and thought patterns that need to be altered in order for you to experience the life you desire. With each ascension — each gracious liberation from the maladaptive aspects of your conditioning — the magnetic force that is pulling you toward your truest, most inspired, and joyful self actually succeeds at bringing you closer. Lisa Marie also includes some of the most fundamental and important aspects of spiritual perspectives to guide you deeper into a place of self-love and love for all of humanity. You will also discover that finding your greatest source of happiness and applying it toward the advancement of humanity in a way that is most meaningful to you is what is required to establish your highest probability of success.

Jasper Johns and Edvard Munch: Inspiration and Transformation

A rich study exploring the connections, creative processes, and themes shared by two world- renowned artists

At a crucial point midway through his career, American painter and printmaker Jasper Johns (b. 1930) looked to the art of Norwegian Expressionist Edvard Munch (1863–1944) for inspiration. Munch’s innovative working methods and defining themes of love, anxiety, illness, and death infused Johns’s work with new meaning, allowing him a broadened range of expression that propelled his return to recognizable imagery after a decade of abstraction.
 
This groundbreaking publication is the first to describe precisely how and when Johns began to explore Munch’s imagery and ideas.  At the same time, it takes a comprehensive view of each artist’s career, giving readers a deeper understanding of Johns’s connection to his predecessor. Through  new  scholarship  and  copious  illustration,  Ravenal  makes  the  persuasive  case  that Munch should be considered one of the catalysts for the sea change that occurred in Johns’s art of the early 1980s.
