In Agents of Evolution: An Astrological Guide For Transformative Times, astrologer Marga Chempolil Laube takes readers on a soul ecology field trip, revealing how astrological terrain helps us navigate both our individual and collective evolutionary journeys. and, in turn, our collective global crises.Touring us through our solar system, Laube draws on the archetypal stories of the planets to outline nine distinct paths of evolution available to us - such as the path of Energy, and the path of Spirit - and the competencies that each path elicits. She presents evidence of the Agents of Evolution currently walking these paths, authoring the newest iterations of the ancient archetypes. Through a savvy combination of personal narrative, interviews, and universal astrological guidance, Laube aims to inspire both astrology newbies as well as aficionados looking to deepen their relationship with the planets and move the needle on our collective evolution.
A collection of poetry from the author, a long time Dharma student who uses Buddhist lojong slogans, a famous group of Buddhist teachings, for inspiration and structure; the slogans were originally translated for inclusion in the book The Path to Awakening by Marga Ret's teacher and Tibetan Buddhist lineage holder the 14th Shamar Rinpoche. To accompany all the slogans, Marga Ret has composed poems that creates an avenue for readers to sink into the slogans and stay with them. Both the slogans and the corresponding poetry have been included in this book, as well as art from the author's husband, posthumously, a remarkable artist, David Crouch.
Educating and caring for a child with autism is a severely difficult task, too often associated with frustration and disappointment. As a result, the inner development of these children is at times considered to be beyond the reach of parents and carers.This book challenges that assumption, exploring case studies where therapy based on a holistic approach has resulted in marked improvements in the children's behaviour and social integration. With an extended holistic programme, autistic children discover inner self-awareness and self-recognition, leading to first steps in relationships and social skills. The authors describe in detail their own practical experiences, as well as the findings of other experts in the field. This new third edition covers recent developments in diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment, including new case studies and a new chapter looking at the sensory aspect of autism and Sensory Integration Therapy.Well-researched and movingly written, this book has an essential, positive message for all those involved in the care and education of children with autism.
