Jessica Needs a Fix. Vacillating between a desire to get high and a yearning for a substance-free life, she finds herself alternating between cocaine and yoga, dependence and freedom. Will she be able to let go of her self-abuse and find sobriety one day, and one breath, at a time? An addict who once disappeared into crack dens, she now seeks solace at yoga studios. As Jessica attempts to create a path to recovery "on the mat" and in Alcoholics Anonymous, she grapples with one unanswerable question: "Is recovery worth it?" Yoga Cocaine traces one addict's journey from the unknown of addiction to the unknown of recovery." A raw, compelling, artfully crafted novel, Yoga Cocaine takes us on a deep dive into the shadowy world of addiction. This novel powerfully illuminates what's available to us when we commit ourselves to the redemptive path of recovery. Even if you've never struggled with addiction, you will be shaken, moved and inspired." -- Kezia Ren e Lechner, author of Close to the Bone: An Uncommon Love Story "Jessica's experiences could put any fraternity guy to shame, yet you feel for her and root for her, despite her nonexistent moral compass. Through yoga, and some serious diversions, she undergoes a powerful, poignant transformation. Yoga Cocaine is an emotional roller coaster ride of despair and recovery. It's a must read for anyone who's ever dealt with addiction or loves yoga." -- Heidi Doheny Jay, author of Confessions of 400 Men "For anyone who has known addiction and sobriety - or wondered about it - Yoga Cocaine is a powerful, painful, hopeful, inspiring and addicting story that you won't be able to put down. Pick it up now and dive in." -- Lisa Kohn, author of To the Moon And Back: A Childhood Under the InfluenceLearn more at www.DaralyseLyons.comFrom Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Demystifying Diversity: Embracing our Shared Humanity

It can be difficult to find reliable information that amplifies the voices and the viewpoints of those who have direct experience dealing with diversity, equity and inclusion. In Demystifying Diversity: Embracing our Shared Humanity, Biracial journalist Daralyse Lyons has interviewed more than 100 individuals--academics, politicians, thought-leaders, advocates, activists and even an incarcerated inmate--and reveals her most important information and insights. By engaging with this text, you will find areas of human intersection and connection that challenge your biases and break down your barriers. Through empathy and understanding, we can create a more inclusive world."The work of any reconciliation along the lines of the basis of identity requires vulnerability, a vulnerability that we are told is not of value to the American way of being." -- Paul Reese, Master of Divinity, Yale Divinity School "Exposure and practice prepare people for unpredictable racial moments." -- Dr. Howard Stevenson, director, Racial Empowerment Collaborative "We are siblings in humanity. No one has superiority over another, except by their character." -- Nihad Awad, executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations "In the present--and correcting the ills of the past--our public policy needs to always move towards equity. If we can do that, I think, as a society, we're going to get better." -- Senator Sharif Street, third senatorial district of Philadelphia Learn more about the Demystifying Diversity project and podcast at DemystifyingDiversityPodcast.com and connect with the author at DaralyseLyons.com From Loving Healing Press www.LHPress.com

Have you been feeling stuck?  Do you find yourself trapped in negative patterns of thinking and behavior?  Have you tried conventional methods to break free of your self-destructive cycles with no success? The Emotional Yoga Experience technique is different than anything else you’ve tried and has the power to radically and permanently help you. Whatever your complaint, The Emotional Yoga Experience will provide you with a step-by-step approach that can help you become free of your self-limiting problems once and for all. Instead of spending more hours on a therapist’s couch trying to rewire your brain, this book will show you that, when your mind can not help you get unstuck, your body can.Your body stores negative emotions and, because these feelings are retained in your body, trying to think away your negative thoughts will not work. So many times “talking cures” are ineffective because they rely on the mind to diagnose issues that exist beyond the scope of its understanding. The mind lies. The body doesn’t.  We too often trust our minds to heal us, when our bodies hold the keys to emotional freedom. So what does that mean?  It means that, armed with The Emotional Yoga Experience (EYE) techniques, you can use yoga to connect with your body and find stored negative emotions, then use the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to release them and take your first steps to leading a more joyful, balanced life.
