— "Quiet the fear in your body before it hijacks your mind—all while restoring resilience and vitality." Anxiety is a modern epidemic, and unfortunately, it just seems to be getting worse. If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from anxiety, you probably already know that trying to control your anxious thoughts and worries won't work. That's because fear doesn't begin with your thoughts. It begins in the body. So, how can you calm your body so your mind will follow? Written by a psychologist and Reiki practitioner, and based on cutting-edge research, this book shines a much-needed spotlight on the role our bodies play in generating and perpetuating anxiety. Using the SOAR model—Sense, Observe, Articulate, Reflect—you'll learn to connect more deeply with your body, observe your senses, and articulate and reflect on what you observe. By shifting your attention to bodily sensations, you'll actually reduce activity in the fear-generating parts of your brain. You'll also find simple body-based exercises that allow you to cultivate insight into your anxiety response, so you can strengthen your relationship with your body, and, over time, cultivate a lasting, regulated response to the various anxiety triggers in your environment. Give yourself the gift of mindful body awareness. It has the power to ease the suffering that comes with chronic anxiety and will help you connect with a deeper sense of self—so you can pursue the pleasures and passions of a truly authentic life!

— "The balance is educating yourself in that which is trans-time, which is who we are—who we are as a person, who we are as a soul, who we are as an essential being."

— "The karma you created throughout the galaxies followed you onto the Earth and was repeated and revisited during your many lives." Valeria Teles interviews Margaret Doner — the author of "Merlin's Handbook for Seekers and Starseeds: A Guide to Awakening Your Divine Potential." Margaret Doner, LMT was certified by Dr. Roger Woolger Ph.D. as a Past Life Regression Therapist in 1996. Since that time she has been also offering spiritual life coaching and angelic channeling. Her work combines hands-on healing, past life regression, spiritual coaching and angelic messages as well as assisting those who feel they are struggling with the challenges of psychic attack. It is Margaret's belief that every life challenge can be utilized as a ladder to release fear and ego attachment, increase wisdom and knowledge, and raise our vibrational frequency through unconditional love. Mastery is not running from the darkness, but staring it straight in the eye and remembering that Light is more powerful than Dark. Spiritual masters go through the "dark night of the soul" to emerge with less fear and more wisdom. Do not be afraid of the shadow; utilize it as your teacher and you will become its master...not its slave.
