One of the first books to explore the unique tradition of Dominican shamanism, the magical practices called the 21 Divisions.

Like all forms of Caribbean Voodoo, practitioners of the 21 Divisions believe in one God, a distant God that doesn’t get involved in human affairs. Followers of this Dominican spiritual tradition believe that God created intermediaries to help humans, beings known as Los Misterios.

The Misterios are powerful beings with rulership and dominion over universal forces and human conditions. Practitioners of the 21 Divisions have ways of connecting with the Misterios to achieve success in life, improve their careers, resolve love and relationship issues, heal illness, and much more.

Filled with detailed insider information and real stories of healing, magic, and mystery, this book will serve as an illuminating guide to the 21 Divisions. Hector Salva―one of the foremost authorities on the practice of the 21 Divisions―offers his insights into:

The history and foundations of Dominican Voodoo
• The major Misterios, or spirits, of the 21 Divisions
• Ceremonies, rituals, and magical spells
• How to get started on the path of the 21 Divisions

Better Than I Ever Expected is a warm, witty, and honest book that contends with the challenges and celebrates the delights of older-life sexuality. It asserts that women over sixty are at the top of their game when it comes to enjoying sex.
Joan Price’s woman-to-woman straight talk transcends the self-help style of other books in this field. Yes, there are challenges to sex after menopause and beyond, says Price, but there are also creative solutions. She is on a mission to let women her age and older know that they can, in fact, have the best sex of their lives. Price gets personal and stays positive, combining her own story with candid comments, tips, and sassy tales from sexually seasoned women. She acknowledges the gritty issues that older women confront in their sexual lives, noting that it’s not easy, but it certainly isn’t over.
At age 61, Price is newly engaged to the man she’s been looking for her whole life. Her discovery of how great “well-seasoned” sex can be was the inspiration for this book. Sidebars present candid and friendly sex tips; fitness, exercise, and lifestyle information; and women's erotic vignettes—both real-life experiences and fantasies.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model teaches that each of us is not a single personality. Rather, we carry in us a “family” of distinct inner parts that hold our many hurts and conflicts―and that we can heal in order to live with more confidence, courage, and connection. With The Internal Family Systems Workbook, Dr. Schwartz presents an invaluable tool to help you learn about IFS and apply it to your own life―on your own time and at your own pace.

Opening with a beginner-friendly overview of IFS, the workbook offers more than 50 practices, exercises, and meditations to help you:
• Understand the parts that make up your system, including Manager parts that want to keep you out of uncomfortable situations and Firefighter parts that react to painful emotions and events
• Extend compassion to each part as you begin to understand how they’re trying to support you
• Learn strategies to stay calm and navigate anxiety when your parts are activated, allowing you to face challenging situations with courage
• Explore ways to heal past wounds and trauma
• Uncover your core Self that is the source of your deepest wisdom

Throughout the workbook, you’ll find a variety of exercises to support different learning styles, as well as QR codes for guided audio meditations read by Dr. Schwartz to further bolster your journey.

IFS has proven to be a revolutionary tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, disordered eating, relationships, and more. As Dr. Schwartz writes, “IFS changes lives. Now it is your turn to experience this transformative tool for yourself. You and all your parts are welcome here.”
