We Are All Travelers- Donald Altman

Publishers send many authors to me to pitch their books. I turn down most of those requests. I rarely read fiction books. I just don't have the time. But this author and this book intrigued me, and I'm glad I decided to read it.Travelers is a fictional account of a mental health therapist whose world opens up after the death of his daughter. Forced to confront a new paradigm and challenges, he goes on a journey of soul growth.Donald Altman, M.A., LPC, is a psychotherapist, former Buddhist monk, international mindfulness expert, and award-winning author of over 20 books translated worldwide. Featured as an expert in The Mindfulness Movie and profiled in the Living Spiritual Teachers Project, he currently writes Psychology Today’s Practical Mindfulness Blog. His best-selling The Mindfulness Toolbox won two national publishing Ben Franklin IPBA awards as the best book in both the Psychology and Mind-Body-Spirit categories. Two other books, Clearing Emotional Clutter and The Mindfulness Code were both chosen as “One of the Best Spiritual Books of the Year” by Spirituality & Practice.Donald served as Past Vice-President of The Center for Mindful Eating and taught mindfulness to over 15,000 healthcare and business professionals. His newest book is Travelers, a novel about a grieving psychiatrist who finds hope, healing, and renewal when a mysterious traveling pet therapist, a sentient canine, and a suicidal young patient come to the psych ward. Donald’s Facebook Reflect Group is at: https://www.facebook.com/mndfulpracticesYou can find Donald at https://www.mindfulpractices.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.

Who Is In? Who Am I?- Avikal Costantino

Avikal's book "Who Is In?" will challenge you to discover who you truly are. Often the belief that we know who we are blocks us from discovering who we indeed are. Some of the things we discuss:The questions  "Who is in?" and "Who am I?"You often use the word Koan, what is that, and is it different from an existential question or the same?Why would anybody start asking Who is in? or Who am I? What kind of benefit might that have? At the beginning of the second chapter, you write about the myth of identity. Don’t we need an identity to be in the world?What do you mean by going beyond self-image?You define Narcissism as a general human condition, pleaseelaborate.You state that we are all complete, what do you mean by that?What about attachment to the Direct Experience?Avikal E. Costantino is a mystic, poet, and martial artist. Curiosity, passion, and love for the truth guide his life and teaching. He is the director of the Integral Being Institute active in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Avikal worked as an anthropologist and a freelance photographer. His love for Martial Arts, which he began in 1970, took him to teach Aikido and Sword in 1987, while his love for the body produced diplomas and professional activity in Shiatsu, Yu-Ki, and Seitai (healing techniques).Reach Avikal at: https://www.avikal.co and https://www.integralbeing.comVisit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey:Guided MeditationsMy book GEMS of Healing (signed copy)My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved onesMini-coursesMini-guidesCheck it out at https://grief2growth.com/store Grief doesn’t follow stages, timelines, or rules.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.That’s why I created the Grief Check-In.
