CELTIC BOOK OF DYING by Phyllida Anam-Aire
by: Phyllida Anam-Aire
Only Back soon! £12.99
Phyllida has worked extensively with the sick and dying and is imbued with a Celtic consciousness that has given her a view of life, love and death that allows her to help those who are dying and their loved ones, as well as teaching those still living that the end of corporeal life is not actually the end of all life. In this book she examines those Celtic traditions that show us how to live life well, how to support the dying, how to help the bereaved and how to embrace love over fear. Her words are kind and helpful and scattered with her own uplifting poems and songs. They will help you contemplate your own death with more confidence and be more able to help anyone you know who is dying.

A MIND OF YOUR OWN by Dr Kelly Brogan
£12.99
Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom.
Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with 1 in 4 women starting their day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can’t be found at a pharmacy.
According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body’s self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.
In this groundbreaking, science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: it is not simply a chemical imbalance, but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance – from blood sugar, to gut health, to thyroid function– and inflammation is at the root.
A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan—including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques—women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.
Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes readers on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

AHEAD OF HER TIME by Judy Piatkus
£14.99
Judy Piatkus is a great friend of Cygnus and of the spiritual community here in general. Read here her amazing story and how she became a renowned publisher. She did not come from a monied background and began her career as a secretary. By the time she founded Piatkus Books from her spare bedroom, she was married with a disabled small daughter and pregnant with her second child. Gradually she learned how to be both a publisher and a managing director and to combine that with her family life as she had by then become a single mother of 3. Throughout the book Judy describes her learning experience as an entrepreneur, what it really means to run a company, the many triumphs and the pitfalls, what worked and what didn’t, how the company learned to reinvent itself through lean times and how it felt to finally strike gold.

ALIVE UNTIL YOU’RE DEAD by Susan Moon
Back soon! - £16.99
This is a book about ageing. It’s not prescriptive: it does have some practices but they are integrated into the text. It’s mostly full of stories that are there to encourage us and to comfort us, about our own ageing and dying and about it happening to others we love. Likewise the author - a popular Buddhist teacher who is in her seventies - writes about her own ageing and about the ageing of people she has known, like her Zen teacher and her friend Jenny who has Lewy Body dementia. Every story is told with great humour and compassion and I am convinced that this book can be enjoyed by anybody, of any age. The author has no theory to outline or anything to convince us of. There is also no overt narrative: every chapter is an essay (the subtitle of the book is Notes on the Home Stretch which pretty much sums it up). Chapters include We Will Be Ancestors Too and Meeting the Final Deadline.

ALL FOR LOVE by Matt Kahn
£18.99
Bestselling author Matt Kahn’s latest book, written in the depths of lockdown and a miserable world crisis, addresses our constant hope that there is a way for the human race to get on, both at a global level and an individual one. Here he works through the transformative power of ‘holding space’ or the ability to be empathetic to another person’s situation and allowing them to share whatever they need to in a supportive and non-judgemental way. The book is a guide, following ten essential principles to help us access loving qualities within ourselves and those around us using real world examples. It makes you want to dive in and give it a go, but the author does remind us that we don’t become experts overnight, and to keep practising until we perfect the technique and can help others do so too.
