We all experience pain at least at some points in our life and we all wish to improve our life, to grow and to heal. But how can you heal?Transformation happens whether you are consciously aware of it or not. If you are aware and feel the desire for change, you are at the starting point of a conscious shift in your life. Perhaps you have become aware of something that could improve or you have a general sense of discontent. Perhaps you are in pain. Perhaps you feel that something is missing in your life. Whatever the feeling, you have realized that something could be better. With this belief, you have opened up a space to grow into. It is as if you have suddenly discovered a window, and become aware of the life outside, where new possibilities and adventures await. Whether you are grappling with physical, mental-emotional or spiritual issues, this book will guide you through steps to examine your life, heal wounds and transform situations. And with this you will discover an increase in love and joy in your life experiences.In this book you will find tools to help you expand in to better life experiences and therefore into a better life. This expansion into new life experiences is called transformation. And whether we want it or not, transformation is part of our life. We cannot remain in any set form, because life is always changing. Life moves on and there is always a next step, a new door to open, food to digest, oxygen to breathe, the cocoon to leave, the wings to grow and then take flight as we soar to new heights... Just like the caterpillar, that thought his life was over before he became a butterfly, we often look upon our impending transformations with fear. This book offers tools to help you through life's many transformations, and to consciously take the next step. The Transformation Promise presents you with the understanding and the tools you need to shift, to heal and to transform.Even without doing the exercises this book will guide you to connect consciously with life-force-energy and a continuously increasing love within. It will show you how to use forgiveness and gratitude so you can heal and transform everything you encounter or have encountered.The Transformation Promise will help you to awaken your inner butterfly!

Download or read book Gideon's Promise written by Jonathan Rapping and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blueprint for criminal justice reform that lays the foundation for how model public defense programs should work to end mass incarceration. Combining wisdom drawn from over a dozen years as a public defender and cutting-edge research in the fields of organizational and cultural psychology, Jonathan Rapping proposes a radical cultural shift to a “fiercely client-based ethos” driven by values-based recruitment training, awakening defenders to their role in upholding an unjust status quo, and a renewed pride in the essential role of moral lawyering in a democratic society. Public defenders represent over 80% of those who interact with the court system, a disproportionate number of whom are poor, non-white citizens who rely on them to navigate the law on their behalf. More often than not, even the most well-meaning of those defenders are over-worked, under-funded, and incentivized to put the interests of judges and politicians above those of their clients in a culture that beats the passion out of talented, driven advocates, and has led to an embarrassingly low standard of justice for those who depend on the promises of Gideon v. Wainwright. However, rather than arguing for a change in rules that govern the actions of lawyers, judges, and other advocates, Rapping proposes a radical cultural shift to a “fiercely client-based ethos” driven by values-based recruitment and training, awakening defenders to their role in upholding an unjust status quo, and a renewed pride in the essential role of moral lawyering in a democratic society. Through the story of founding Gideon’s Promise and anecdotes of his time as a defender and teacher, Rapping reanimates the possibility of public defenders serving as a radical bulwark against government oppression and a megaphone to amplify the voices of those they serve.

Book excerpt: Going to prison was the most horrible and traumatizing experience of my life, however, it was also one of the most significant things that ever happened to me. Prison scared me straight, so to speak. While in prison I came to recognize what I am not, and I was able to create an internal space where I found the freedom to explore and reconnect with who I am. While in prison I learned to identify my thinking and behavior errors, and how not to repeat those same errors as I moved forward. As a (wo)man thinks, so is (s)he. My personal experience has taught me that those things I think about most often are the things I will do most often. Years before I went to prison my thinking was very limited and full of false information and ideas about the world around me. False information and ideas mixed with hard drugs and liquor most often end with poor results. How I used to think about things and solve problems before going to prison is what led me to prison. I think I experienced a growth process from the inside out while in prison, and I hope to share a part of my journey with you through this journal. I was released from prison on December 26, 1997.

Download or read book Delivering on the Promise of Democracy written by Sukhwant Jhaj and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many educators can recite the faults of their schools or universities, but far fewer can recognize and develop existing strengths to benefit a wider audience. Sukhwant Jhaj has crafted a refreshing new look at how imaginative leadership and a shift in perspective can propel institutions to reach at-risk or underrepresented members of their communities. Delivering on the Promise of Democracy pulls back the curtain on seven high-performing universities to reveal which daily decisions, including listening to the community, embracing conflict, and implementing effective strategies through routine, guide administrators in achieving exceptional results. Through in-depth interviews that offer a close look at these seven universities, Jhaj traces a new trajectory for higher education: a call to question a university's effectiveness through its accessibility to the community it serves. Jhaj's book will inspire anybody interested in widening access to education with its call to renew their institution's mission through powerful and effective leadership.
