NEVADA CITY, Calif., Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Good versus bad, right versus wrong, us versus them – the building blocks of society are constructed from these constricting and polarizing paradigms. As this unnatural foundation of separation and divisiveness erodes and a new, unprecedented era approaches, it is imperative that people develop the skills and self-awareness needed to create meaningful connections and incite global change.
In her debut book, “The Earth Keeper’s Handbook: Assuming Leadership in a New World,” author Loren Swift guides readers toward achieving freedom and fulfillment through healing and reclaiming their innate inner power. She examines how the connections individuals are designed to have—interpersonal, intrapersonal, human-environment and divine—are severed, preventing harmony and creating instead an atmosphere of anxiety, fear and helplessness.
Employing her background in psychotherapy, communication training and life coaching, Swift demonstrates how to dive deep and complete the inner work necessary to truly know and accept oneself, including developing self-compassion, practicing gratitude, approaching challenges with confidence and empathy, and listening to the wisdom of the heart. She also outlines experiential exercises for healing past blockages and replacing reactionary behaviors like judgement and ill-will with empathy and compassion.
Once readers master the connection to self, they will be able to apply what they have learned to their personal and professional relationships, dismantling the harmful effects of the alienating paradigms of old and opening themselves to living in a new ‘both-and’ world. Ultimately, “The Earth Keeper’s Handbook” equips readers with the tools and practices they need to become agents of change who are inspired, grounded and dedicated to diversity, inclusion and the collective well-being.
“My intention for ‘The Earth Keeper’s Handbook’ is to help people awaken to their connectedness with life and encourage assuming a leadership role to evolve our collective experience from separation to connection,” said Swift. “Through cooperation and collaboration, we can liberate ourselves and heal the planet.”
“This is clearly a work of love, written from the heart and deeply connected to the Heart of the Earth,” said Miquel Angel Vergara Calleros, Maya Wisdom Keeper and Teacher of Maya Sacred Knowledge. “Everyone who feels passionate about protecting this Planet we call home needs to hear this message.”
“Coming exactly in time, Ms. Swift provides us with not only an overview of both the advances and challenges of our times, but insights, examples, and personal practices beautifully designed to help us meet them,” said Kaypacha of New Paradigm Astrology. “This is a book for future leaders and wisdom keepers, those called to deeply connect to their innermost core calling and bring their unique gifts and blessings out to a world in need.”
