Inner work is a name commonly given to the inner processes that happen in ritual. It can also mean the transformation of the psyche that comes about through engaging in religious ritual. However, the best kind of inner work also has an effect outside the individual and outside the circle. When rituals are focused only on self-development, they tend to be a bit too introspective. Ritual is about creating and maintaining relationships and connections - between body, mind, and spirit; with the Earth, Nature, the land, the spirit world, the community, and friends. It is about making meaning, weaving a web of symbolism, story, mythology, meaning, community, and love. Creating a community that welcomes and celebrates diversity. Creating strong and authentic identity to resist the pressures of consumerism and commercialism and capitalism. Weaving relationship with other beings: humans, animals, birds, spirits, deities.

Meditations, Stories & Rituals for Life's Crossroads All too often, when we find ourselves at a crossroads, the conventional ways of understanding where we are can fall short of the mark. Intuitively, we know we need something more. Sacred astrology teaches that there are several distinct rites of passage that can show up as a psychospiritual crisis characterized by intense challenge and confusion. We are betwixt and between—no longer who we used to be, but not yet who we are becoming. However, these powerful thresholds are where the real magic of our lives happens. They usually coincide with significant turning points that lead us toward our life's unique purpose. Learn how myth, folklore and story can be a source of guidance in difficult times. Illuminate the archetypal dimensions of your own story and re-enchant your life. Learn when to expect the crossroad times throughout your life so you can make peace with the past, navigate the present, and create a more purposeful future. Discover the keys to self realization and step into alignment with who you’re becoming. Create a self-care tool kit for the distinct issues that arise with each crossroads, and get clear about what you're calling in. Unlock new levels of self awareness through ritual, guided meditation, and journal reflections crafted specifically for each threshold. You will also learn how to support family, friends, coworkers, and clients who are going through difficult times with a transpersonal understanding of where they are and what they're going through. Having insight into what time it is in your life can be a lantern in the dark.
A practical self-help book on mental strength and emotional toughness by a clinical counsellor, researcher, coach and online content creator with a big YouTube following and genuine star quality. This book is the ultimate guide to getting emotionally strong, guiding you in taking responsibility for your own wellbeing and not letting others control your thoughts and emotions. Written in the trademark down-to-earth, direct, humorous and warm style that has made counsellor Julia Kristina so popular online, this book arms its readers with the skills to take over the steering wheel in their own lives, no matter what challenges they face. Julia takes you through the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that hold us back, from perfectionism and fear of failure, to anxiety and guilt, to people pleasing, self-sabotage and taking things too personally. In each case she provides easy-to-use and super effective tools for emotional self-mastery that she has road tested in her coaching and counselling, and in her own life. For example, use the Thought Ladder to disrupt your negative thoughts and beliefs. Instead of telling yourself to stop thinking "I am totally crap" and just think "I am great", Julia shows you how to incrementally challenge and undo the original negative thought and reframe it through a series of steps - like rungs of a ladder. Another example is the STOPP Process: a 5-step method that allows you to identify, separate from and process/take positive action on a difficult emotion that is occurring. Always rooted in real life, highly achievable and based in the author's understanding of human psychology, Julia's tools and techniques really will help you break through whatever it is you think is holding you back.
There is no time but Now; and there is no place but Here...therefore you are Now Here. This book is a documented account and recollection of LIFE events and EXPERIENCES, shared in the hope that one may begin to remember who one truly is. Being duty-bound by GOD to share a personal account of one’s inner journal is truly a sign of transparency and hopefully attract the attention of the masses, because it is the masses who are “sleep-living” and don’t know that they are “sleep-living.” Sleep-living is a state of being like the walking dead. Day in and day out! The existence of humankind as we know it is gradually slipping away, because of its current trajectory. The lack of respect and care for the Earth is destroying the world and if humankind fails to change course, humankind will destroy the planet. There is a lot of work to do on a collective conscious level, and collectively, it can be done. There are already so many other precious souls who have stepped into their role of awareness and are doing their work. While others will continue to play their role in this earthly plane until they choose a different role that is better suited to fulfil a higher purpose for the mutual benefit of all. This shift in collective consciousness is not something that can be mandated or legislated. It must be a personal choice to desire a better state of being not only for oneself; but for everyone, as people, we are all connected; therefore, whatever affects one, affects ALL. Stop and take a look around; the state of being for the majority of people is not as one would like. Other forms of worldly rulers, governments, and organized religions who do not allow one to think for oneself, all have and play their major roles well. Everybody takes chances with human lives every day all day, nonstop, from all aspects of LIFE. This has to stop! This is the value that is placed on LIFE.... ah God.... ah Life.... THINK about this! What would be the difference, whether it’s God or Life? God being ALL in ALL and through ALL. People tend to view God in ways that are familiar and if and when God appears different from the times of old and the way people were accustomed to, people tend to dismiss events or experiences as being God; and therefore, miss God on so many levels. Open UP! Can’t confine God to be and act the same no matter how you try. He is the thing used to attempt to confine Him. So, stop doing that! God cannot be defined nor confined to any one thing. The one constant about God is, that he is always changing to adapt to the needs of His children.
