The Concept of Mindful EatingIn our fast-paced and hectic world, it is all too easy to fall into the trap of mindless eating. We often find ourselves eating on the go, wolfing down our meals without truly savoring or even acknowledging the food that nourishes our bodies. This mindless eating can lead to a myriad of health issues, with obesity being one of the most prevalent in today's society.But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle of mindless eating? What if we could learn to eat in a way that not only nourishes our bodies but also brings us joy and satisfaction? Enter the concept of mindful eating.Mindful eating is a practice that encourages us to slow down, tune in to our bodies, and truly engage with the experience of eating. It involves paying attention to the sensations, flavors, and textures of our food, as well as our own hunger and fullness cues. By practicing mindful eating, we can break free from the autopilot mode of mindless eating and develop a healthier relationship with food.One of the main benefits of mindful eating is its ability to help us avoid obesity. Often, mindless eating leads to overeating and consuming more calories than our bodies actually need. By practicing mindfulness, we become more attuned to our body's signals of hunger and fullness, allowing us to eat until we are satisfied rather than stuffed. This can help prevent overeating and ultimately lead to a healthier weight.Furthermore, mindful eating can also help us make more informed food choices. When we eat mindfully, we become more aware of the nutritional value of the foods we consume. We may start to notice how certain foods make us feel energized and nourished, while others leave us feeling sluggish or unsatisfied. This increased awareness can guide us towards making healthier food choices that support our overall well-being.In addition to its physical benefits, mindful eating can also have a positive impact on our mental and emotional well-being. By taking the time to truly enjoy and savor our meals, we can experience a greater sense of satisfaction and pleasure from our food. This can help reduce feelings of deprivation or the need to turn to food for emotional comfort, ultimately promoting a healthier relationship with food and our bodies.

TWO PEOPLE WALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER...Marriage may be the most sacred of all human relationships; two people, coming together as one. There may not be anything more powerful than two people walking with God together. It's kind of mind-boggling, actually. And because of the power and weight of marriage in the Kingdom, it should not come as any surprise that marriage is violently opposed ... it's a favorite target of the enemy.MARRIAGE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR...We believe this is why you don't have to look very far to find a marriage that is in trouble. Assaults on marriage and challenges to marriage are everywhere. But we know there is a way for couples to make a comeback, learn how to fight back, enjoy being restored, and actually thrive in the midst of the day to day battles of life. Marriage is worth fighting for and having the right weapons and tools, training and orientation is crucial. That's why we created The Rendezvous Project, a 12 session video series recorded live during one of our recent Rendezvous Weekend marriage conferences.YOU'RE INVITED...Through The Rendezvous Project, we hope to empower redemptive marriages to either take a weekend away together and host your own marriage retreat, or journey together in a weekly small group, discovering your true heart, the deep and beautiful heart of your marriage, the context of the Larger Story your marriage is in and how to walk intimately with God together. Learn more about redemptive marriage here."Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.The fire of love stops at nothing- it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out."Song of Solomon 8:6-8 (MSG)

Have you ever thought about the day-to-day life of Jigoro Kano? What was daily life like in the first years since the founding of the Kodokan?We are sure that you as a lover of Judo and martial arts at some point have had the curiosity to know intimately the events of those years that forged the legend that of the newly created Jujutsu school of Jigoro Kano and later renamed as Judo and the extraordinary expansion on all continents.Jigoro Kano Shihan was an extraordinary man, a visionary, an exceptional educator who knew how to reform Jujutsu to adapt it to the new times, preventing it from becoming extinct as happened with other Japanese arts.In this novel, the authors have the romantic intention of transporting the reader to those difficult times, full of uncertainty and social instability.We encourage you to put yourself in the shoes of Jigoro Kano and his disciples; we share with you his joys and achievements and also his fears and failures.Dojoyaburi referred to a type of challenge that ancient martial arts schools use to set up their difference and often had fatal consequences. Surviving those days, standing out as a new Jujutsu school and creating a network of instructors and students who spread the art all over the world was an extremely difficult and complex task that only a great human being like Jigoro Kano could make possible with the incomparable help of his trusted disciples.The events take place from 1881, before creating the Kodokan, until 1884 where the first challenge between the Totsuka Yoshin ryu School and the Kodokan takes place. To give it the form of a novel we have carried out an exhaustive work with documentation and research. We have united our perspective of the facts, dressing the events with a magical realism so the reader can feel them just as we feel them.Open the book and travel through time to experience those events that were recorded for eternity. Happy Reading.

Following up on his well-received first book, Andy Thompson provides another captivating, thought-provoking and at times intense glimpse into the daily life of a Paramedic working in the UK's National Health Service. In the style of his first book, Andy recalls each event from the detailed documentation recorded at the time, each account written in a way that puts the reader right there next to him so that you live the events in realtime, hear the dialogue between paramedics, patient, their loved ones and other healthcare professionals as it would have been, and share in Andy's thought processes during each of the ten very different situations he encounters. The term 'The Dark Side' describes the frontline emergency aspect of the Ambulance Service, since paramedics frequently experience sombre situations. In 'The Dark Side, Part 2' you will share in some truly traumatic, tragic and tearful events involving a seemingly vibrant, healthy young patient, a prison inmate, the victims of an horrific car crash, heart attacks, a frightening epileptic fit, the alarming effects of an allergic reaction, and what can happen when under-strain doctors prescribe the wrong medication. But there's still room for lighthearted moments and a taste of the sometimes dark humour that allows paramedics to continually deal with events most of us would find too horrific. The detail in the descriptions of the care given to each patient on-scene by Andy and his colleagues will have you marvelling at the ability of these healthcare professionals to work at such speed of thought, buying enough time to deliver a patient into the specialist hands of hospital care and often full recovery. Of course there are inevitably also those times when tears of hope turn to tears of despair for loved ones. You cannot feel that pain until it happens to you, but this book will bring you mighty close to it at times.

Men, Masculinities, and Aging explores the intersections of generations, class, geographies, and masculinities.
