After a caring therapist and tender-hearted coach BOTH recommended Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly, I finally purchased this tool to help start putting new and different thoughts in my head. This book allowed me to realize that pain was something I simply had to allow myself to feel. So, in knowing that and combing these new messages with meditation - I FINALLY gave myself permission to experience the shame. In the process, I also reclaimed my inner mindset to be one of courage and gratitude for allowing myself to go big and be vulnerable. —Siren Saint

“A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual, and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time. I already feel calmer and healthier just in the last few days, from making a few simple changes in my breathing, based on what I’ve read… Our breath is a beautiful, healing, mysterious gift, and so is this book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love

A delightful queer love story from TJ Klune, author of the New York Times bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through.

“There is so much to enjoy in Under the Whispering Door, but what I cherish the most is its compassion for the little things―a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue―healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid―and maybe even worthy of love.” ―Ryka Aoki, Light from Uncommon Stars

Give yourself and/or your partner a body massage to celebrate and enjoy every inch of your skin. Get extra credit for massaging your breasts and genitals for pleasure, but taking penetrative intercourse and orgasm off of the table for at least one of these intimacy practices. Instead, feel the energy of the sensations you are experiencing and name them aloud to express if possible. Play with building these up, heightening them without the expectation of an immediate release.

Body oil is a way that we can reconnect to entire selves through touch. I love Dr. Teal's Bath & Body Oils—they come in eucalyptus, shea butter and lavender essential oil scents. And they are paraben- and phthalate-free, which is good for balanced body health.
