Babies Know

$12.00

Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology is a multidisciplinary approach that explores in depth the biological, psychological, mental, emotional, and social development of babies as they grow into unique individuals through their relationship with caregivers. It honors the essence of life throughout the entire lifespan, and emphasizes the significance of the earliest formative relationship, which create the foundation for all subsequent interactions with others.

Girls, Goddesses & Growing Up

Growing up in a patriarchal society has left many young women with low self-esteem. Girls, Goddesses & Growing Up helps us understand how our egos have been conditioned to be critical of ourselves, to lack confidence and to find fault with ourselves even when we have been successful. Highsmith explains "ego programming" and resurrects Goddess imagery to reveal the archetypes that have been hidden in plain sight for millennia. Goddesses have qualities that are within each of us, but we have not been encouraged to recognize them. With visualizations, activities and rituals to uncover the Divine within us, Girls, Goddesses & Growing Up provides ways to awaken to the Beauty and Truth of who we are and become the best that we can be.

Sailing Into the Light

It is a time that can frighten us or fill us with sadness for our impending loss. If we can fill our hearts and minds with loving words and images of a Life beyond this Life, it can soothe us and the dear one we wish to help on their journey. Don’t wait to read a eulogy after your Loved One is gone. Read a short story—a metaphor—inspired by a poem almost 200 years old. A sailing ship leaves the shore and as well-wishers shout their goodbyes, those on a distant shore chime their welcome.

Perhaps it will be sounds you have learned to tune out. Perhaps it will be Songs of Angels.

The Best Bedtime Story Ever

$21.99

Do you want to improve your child’s behavior? An undiscovered window to guiding your children is open while they sleep! During this time your child’s developing ego-mind is quiet and cannot disagree or talk back. This is an open door for a caring parent to suggest alternative thoughts, feelings, and actions. A belief that your child holds like “Kids pick on me,” becomes “Other children treat you with kindness,” or “Other kids like you,” or simply, “You are loved.” As a parent, you can generate affirmations of love, kindness, and happiness in the minds of your children. This is a sacred trust. Your children are watching, listening, and imitating you and other role models throughout each day. Sleep is a time to suggest the best to your children to enhance their self-esteem and their regard for others.

The First Fairy Tale IV: Welcome to the Light

This is the fourth fairy tale in the series of stories designed to be read to babies while in mothers’ wombs. Each of these tales is a metaphor for a part of the journey a new baby is undertaking to come into mother’s arms. Reading these stories enhances the bond, the tie between mommy and baby, between parent and child. This is falling in love with your baby. What greater gift can you give to your child while s/he is in your womb? Reading to baby acknowledges the consciousness and innate wisdom within the growing embryo.

Research reveals that newborns remember stories that were read to them while they were in utero because they respond positively to the particular stories they heard.

Read this tale to your baby before birth and continue to read it to your newborns and toddlers as they grow. Build your bond with your baby before and after birth-it’s never too early.
