Produktbeschreibung

TEENS / SELF-HELP "This book describes many ways to create peace and happiness, some on your own and some with your friends." --His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama "In an attempt to provide you with authentic containers for the tumultuous energy of the Thundering Years, many are rediscovering indigenous ways. The call to awaken our ancestral wisdom is strong. Personal and community rituals are ways of reuniting us when we are in a state of alienation and turmoil with Spirit." --Sobonfu Some, African shaman, from chapter 5 According to native traditions, the Thundering Years are the time in life to listen to intense feelings, dreams, desires, and goals--to be outrageous and even difficult. The Thundering Years are the teen years, the time when you are journeying into adulthood. They are exciting years, full of potential and creative energy, and they are painful years, full of turmoil and self-examination. Author Julie Tallard Johnson has collected wisdom from cultures around the world to help you survive your Thundering Years with your soul, creativity, and even sense of humor intact. She offers numerous techniques and traditions to help harness the powerful energy released during this time. She shows that when you connect with your thunder in a respectful way, you are given the confidence you need to accomplish all your dreams. JULIE TALLARD JOHNSON is a psychotherapist and mentor of teens and young adults. She began her practice of meditation at the age of 16 and has traveled to such places as Australia and Bali to gather wisdom. She has written three other teen books and is the author of the forthcoming I Ching for Teenagers. She lives in Spring Green, Wisconsin, with her partner and their daughter and the red-tailed hawks.
