This book has changed peoples lives to the better. And saved many lives.Copy Cat World has many loayal fans that adore the book. Alexandra: "It is because we always send messages to our environment. We send messages to the universal energy. When we have hopes and expectations, then that is the message we are sending, a message that we are lacking something. But is there really anything we need, do we know that for sure? We shouldn't ask for anything, only be grateful for what have and not demand more. What is meant to come will come and then we should accept it and be thankful. It will come when you are not asking for it and not waiting for it. You shouldn't declare that you are in need or act as if you lack something. It is most important to be contented with yourself and what you have. Do what is right in life and make good things happen around you. You will notice that when you perform an act of kindness, you feel good and that is an answer. It is better to be wealthy in spiritual riches than material ones. I feel rich if I can help somebody, and I feel richer and richer everytime I do something good. Money is not important. You don't need much to survive. Abundance creates indulgence, which leads to a bad way of life and unhappiness. We only need enough to live. We don't need all these things that people indulge in. It's not like you were ever happy! You had too much of everything, which leads to too much indulgence and more and more unhappiness! You bought yourself darkness, always more darkness, and you ended up at the bottom! The wrong path leads to the wrong destination!" Copy Cat World has many loayal fans that adore the book.
Estimates suggest that up to 20% of employees, customers and clients might have a neurodivergent condition - such as dyslexia, autism, Asperger's, ADHD or dyspraxia - yet these individuals often struggle to gain and maintain employment, despite being very capable. This practical, authoritative business guide will help managers and employers support neurodiverse staff, and gives advice on how to ensure workplaces are neuro-friendly. The book demonstrates that neurodiversity is a natural aspect of human variation to be expected and accepted, rather than a deficit to be accommodated. Employer responsibilities are highlighted, including the 2010 Equality Act, and a range of strategies and policies are provided, including recruitment advice and the benefits of neurodiverse employees, along with advice on physical environments, interaction and communication, and working with clients and customers. This book is an ideal resource for all employers wanting to support and empower people with specific needs to help create a more inclusive workplace, benefiting both neurodiverse individuals and the companies employing them.
In Mastering Bach Flower Therapies: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment, Mechthild Scheffer presents a comprehensive guide to incorporating Bach flowers into your life. The first practitioner to recognize the psychological underpinnings of the Bach flower remedies, Scheffer demonstrates that emotional and physical well-being are inextricably linked and shows how the flower therapies can be a powerful tool-not only for healing individual symptoms, but for putting the course of one's life back on track. With a thorough diagnostic questionnaire and color spectrographs of the most popular flowers, Mastering Bach Flower Therapies gives you all the expertise you need to put the healing therapies to work. Scheffer's groundbreaking best-seller Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice revolutionized the science of Bach flower remedies, detailing the healing properties of each individual flower. Rather than using a dry, theoretical approach to treatment, Scheffer gives first-hand accounts of patients cured by the flowers and provides expert commentary on the course of their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
