PAINT YOURSELF CALM by Jean Haines
by: Jean Haines
Only £15.99
There are many of us who just don’t do art, for whatever reason. The beauty of this book is that it coaxes us into painting for therapeutic purposes and takes away the pressure of any self-judgment for what we create. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It’s large format and rich in stunning illustration (of course). The author was a painter first, then she became a painting teacher and now she is teaching calm through painting. Painting is a powerful agent for calm for so many reasons: There’s colour healing, but also by painting nature you are in a sense “in” nature and reaping the benefits. Finally, when you become fully absorbed in an activity – and painting is a supreme example of this – your mind becomes much quieter.

ABSTRACT NATURE by Waltraud Nawratil
£12.99
Imagine learning a way of communicating how you feel about the world around you. In this new book, Waltraud guides us through a range of techniques and exercises that combine both colour and texture. The author encourages you to experiment with different surfaces, tools and accessories that are reassuringly messy. She frees you from looking at the surface of things and encourages you to establish a connection from your heart to the essence of your subject. This fully illustrated book can inspire us all to begin perceiving our world with all our faculties, not just our eyes, whether or not we intend to paint. From Search Press, the publishers of our previous highly successful Paint Yourself Calm.

ALPHABET OF THE HUMAN HEART Matthew Johnson
Back soon! - £10.79 £12.99
'A handbook for the happy, and a bible for the broken-hearted', The Alphabet of the Human Heart is an enchanting and enriching journey through the upside and the downside of what it means to be human - our hopes and our fears, our strength and our weakness, our highs and our lows. Quite literally 'a book of two halves', firstly there is an upside A-Z, full of the happy and hopeful aspects of our lives, such as A is for Adventure - the opposite of television, through G is for Gratitude, S is for Smile to Zen is the Place to Be. Flip the book over, and the other downside half examines the negative parts of our lives and how we can overcome them to lead more positive and fulfilling lives. With affirmations, humorous illustrations throughout, and a definite sense of glee, Matthew Johnstone and James Kerr's little book of wisdom is also the perfect gift to help cheer up a friend or loved one.
