JEAN HAINES

‘Over the years I have learnt

that painting is therapeutic. It does

calm the soul’

Life often has a way of leading us

in new directions without us even

realising what is happening. Call it

fate, destiny, or luck, but I found

myself writing a new book aimed

in a totally different direction from

anything I have ever written before.

My previous bestselling books on how to paint in watercolour were gaining me recognition in ways that I had not expected. It may be hard for friends who know me now to believe that I started life as a very shy person. I had little self-confidence and I definitely had no feeling of self worth. So I have to admit that years ago I could never have imagined myself standing on a stage in front of hundreds of strangers to give a talk. Or see myself travelling all over the world to give presentations on my painting techniques without any feelings of stress. I never imagined my life would be like this at this age. But it is and it is wonderful. All because I have shared my way of using painting to enjoy life, and thus overcome the obstacles thrown in my

path.

Like many people, I have faced many

hiccups in life and each time I have turned to my art as an escape. When I paint I feel relaxed and happy. This carefree feeling comes across when I am working in colour. I use colour to lift my mood on a daily basis, and I wanted to help others feel the same way. Peaceful, calm and more confident from the quality time they take to spend relaxing using my painting techniques. I do feel that painting for a few minutes each day can be likened to meditation or yoga.

You don’t have to be talented, gifted, or a master artist to enjoy my new book. All you need is the will to try. Perhaps as a reader you are looking for something new, or you are going through something in life that is upsetting you. Maybe you are facing an illness or someone you know is ill.

Perhaps your life is just so busy that you find it hard to relax at all when you do have free time. Paint Yourself Calm is a way of life as much as a

hobby. It is about finding quality “me” time to allow your mind to re-energise. I find people often put themselves at the bottom of the priority list in things they need to do each day. I know from experience that even a ten minute colour escape can do wonders for the soul.

I have been guided to write this new

publication by life experiences of my own, and others, who helped me to reach this point in my life as an artist

and author. I am aware that readers of my previous instructional art books have discovered that painting with watercolour is a truly magical and enjoyable experience. But I have also been receiving many more messages letting me know that I was changing readers’ lives. They felt far more relaxed. More importantly my painting exercises were helping them either face or overcome traumatic hurdles in their lives. My calming techniques were helping them find a temporary escape or release from what was troubling them. I have heard endless stories of how reading my books and using my ideas have helped patients deal with cancer, for example, or bereavement. Readers and followers of my art style have been able to overcome stress and so much more.

Painting has changed my life for the better. It is richer. I am calmer. I deal with problems so much more easily. In fact, I believe I see problems as far smaller these days than I used to years ago. And through my teaching workshops I am meeting people who are letting me know my way of painting is helping them in so many life-changing ways.

I know that when I paint I feel differently. Whatever has been happening I can change my mood or calm down simply by moving a brush. I want others to feel the same way. Over the years I have learnt that

painting is therapeutic and calms the soul. I do believe painting is a tonic that everyone can enjoy. No matter what age you are, no matter how healthy you are. No matter what you are going through. Painting this way is for everyone. And anyone.

❖ And so, this new book is about

just that. It shows you how to“Paint Yourself Calm”. I do paint

myself calm, and I would loveothers to as well.

PAINT YOURSELF CALM by Jean HainesThere are many of us who just don’t do art, for

whatever reason. The beauty of this book is that

it coaxes us into painting for therapeutic purposes

and takes away the pressure of any self-judgment

for what we create. I can’t recommend this book

highly enough. It is large format and rich in

stunning illustration (of course). The author was a

painter first, then she became a painting teacher

and now she is teaching calm through painting.

When you become fully absorbed in an activity –

and painting is a supreme example of this – your

mind becomes much quieter.Paperback, RRP £15.99❖ Code: 260146 Cygnus price: £11.99

THE ARTIST’S WAY FOR RETIREMENT by Julia CameronTwenty-five years ago Julia Cameron wrote The Artist’s Way,

which put countless people in touch with their own creativity. Now she is 65 and, while much is different and she is an Elder, the same principles apply: the basic tools are the Morning Pages, writing memoir, having a

weekly Artist’s Date, and walking

for twenty minutes twice a week

without distractions. The book is structured in twelve sections covering twelve weeks. Julia has

a vast amount of experience to guide us through this daunting time of life. Most of us are looking

for meaning and, because she has aged too, she can use all her experience to coax us to be

creative even in our retirement.Paperback, RRP £12.99❖ Code: 260231 Cygnus price:£8.99

THE ARTIST’S WAY by Julia CameronThe original and greatest – this is the book that started it all. The

Artist’s Way provides a twelve-week course that guides you through the process of recovering

your creative self. It has changed

techniques. Most importantly it engages with the inner critic, which disables us so profoundly

in our perfectionist western culture. Paperback, RRP £14.99 Published 1995❖ Code: 090849 Cygnus price:£11.99

ENSO MORNING: DAILY MEDITATION GIFTS by Jacob Watson

Every morning Jacob Watson, an interfaith minister and

spiritual teacher, would meditate and walk outside, and

after a while he received the gift of these brief meditations,

which he would then share with his colleagues. There are

more than 160 of them here. They are calm and peaceful;

they use images from nature and the landscapes of coastal

Maine; and they are expressed with an intense poetic

sensitivity. We too can make the most of these letters in

the morning, to set the tone of the day and to set a calm

mood. They will increase our appreciation of life in all its

complexity and beauty, and we too can share them with

those around us.

MINDFULNESS by Christophe AndréIn meditation we withdraw, step back from the frantic outside world into an inner land, with mindfulness we intensify our presence in the moment. This unique book is much more than

another guide towards achieving

those goals of refuge, calm and

awakening; beautifully illustrated,

it has the power to take us deep

into peaceful places. Christophe

André has chosen classic paintings by some of the great masters and through them he encourages the reader to quietly

contemplate the inner meaning of

small details such as a ray of sun,

a magpie in the snow, the solidity

of wood. This is a book to own and love, to constantly return to

when occasions occur in life that

the deeper meanings of these great paintings reflect. Already hugely successful in France, this

series of 25 lessons is a work of

art in its own right.Paperback, RRP £16.99❖ Code: 260204 Cygnus price: £13.99

MIRROR WORK by Louise Hay Anyone new to Louise Hay’s work will find this a great place to start exploring her philosophy. Mirror Work is a 21-day course, a step-by-step guide to self-transformation the Louise Hay way. That means affirmations, daily positive self-talk, meditations (also available as audio downloads), and much

more, all drawn together in 21 chapters, each with a daily theme. Every chapter is compact,

and designed to be practised each morning in front of a mirror.

During the day every glimpse in

the mirror becomes a reminder to repeat the affirmation and revisit the lesson. The themes cover familiar territory for Hay followers: building self-esteem, loving yourself and your inner child, healing relationships, and

overcoming fear, now all brought

together in an easy to follow programme.Paperback, RRP £9.99❖ Code: 260202 Cygnus price: £6.99

THE SOUL’S AGENDA by Michelle StevensThis is a book that started as a blog. In 2012 Michelle Stevens began sharing the channelled messages she had been receiving

since childhood. She believes that

guidance, tools, and support are

available to us all, at all times. The messages included here aim

to expand our awareness of this,

and they offer a lovely reminder

of all those things we actually know already but are constantly

forgetting to remember. There is

plenty of good solid advice here in

bite size portions, which can help

us all in our quest to live a more

satisfactory life. The only slight irritation for some could be the constant repetition of ‘Dear One’

which tends to shift the mood of

the book from wise advice from a

distance to slightly over-personal

lectures. But other readers may

of course like the way this style implies a closer link to the guides.

INNER TRANSFORMATION

LIVING AN INSPIRED LIFE by Dr Wayne W. Dyer You are reading this because you have chosen to read about this book, it is calling you to be inspired. The message here is that we can all acknowledge the

ultimate calling to connect with our spiritual essence, what Dr Dyer calls In-Spirit. This is what

puts us in touch with inspiration.

We can all be inspired, all the time, and it is not just something

reserved for odd moments or for

artists and gurus. He explains how we choose everything from

our physical body and parents before birth, to all aspects of our

own inner picture throughout life. We can choose to connect with inspirational people and to be aware of habits that trap us In-Ego, so we can be the ones who live as inspiration to others.

The positive style of Dr Dyer’s writing carries the reader through

material that is not new, but presents concepts in a fresh – and inspirational – way.Paperback, RRP £10.99❖ Code: 260201 Cygnus price: £7.99

THE ALLERGY SOLUTION by Dr Leo Galland

Allergies are this author’s speciality. In his working life he

has stumbled across them everywhere, some obvious, some

obscure. This comprehensive look at the modern phenomenon

of allergies will appeal to all those suffering from symptoms the

doctors can’t seem to pin down. Dr Galland describes some

of the many cases he has treated, like the rock musician who

developed an allergy to the nickel in his guitar strings, and

the nightshade allergy where a combination of aubergine,

tomato and tobacco hospitalised a woman. Close study

of this book might lead one to see allergies everywhere,

responsible for everything that’s wrong with us, but read with a

balanced approach it offers a tremendous amount of useful information. Everyone can benefit from working to achieve a more balanced immunity through attention to nutrition and lifestyle, especially those plagued with asthma, eczema, sinusitis and other classic symptoms of allergic reaction.Paperback, RRP £12.99❖ Code: 260205 Cygnus price: £8.99

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

HOW TO BE WELL by Abby WynneA review on the inside cover calls this “not a self-help book, but a self-care book”. It’s about wellness, rather than stress. It looks at positive states. It’s health

as in relationships and spiritual practices, rather than nutrition and supplements. The language

and concepts are delightfully simple. She talks about social media and mobile phones as modern inventions that can sap the energy from your life. This is an ideal book if your life feels

generally out of whack, but you have nothing specifically wrong,

except that you need to revitalize

and reassess. There are many exercises that are drawn from her

shamanic practice. The author is

based in Dublin.Paperback, RRP £10.99❖ Code: 260206 Cygnus price: £6.99

GET YOUR LIFE BACK by Mary HeathThis is the perfect book for people like me who crave

a course book, who benefit from a curriculum with a weekly

programme of daily lessons. After all, you can always let the routine

go for a day or two – this does not invalidate the process! It’s printed

in classic workbook format, with plenty of space to make your own

notes, and is thoroughly interactive. If

there’s a hint or an observation in a certain

chapter, you can use that as a point of

departure for further spiritual exploration.

The author has been a yoga teacher for

more than thirty years and a mental health

professional for most of her working life.


BREATHE AND RELAX TO OVERCOME STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION

by Mary Heath

This is the companion CD to her book. It primarily consists of

two Pranayama-based breathing exercises, plus a 25 minute

creative visualization. The author takes us through the exercises

herself and, as ever, it’s great to hear a non-American voice

on an experiential CD. She’s very skillful and the background

music is calming and luminous. It’s an invaluable addition to her

wonderful workbook. She is well-versed in

all the therapeutic paradigms and you feel in very safe hands.

in a vague fashion. We all know about intuition but again our image of it is of something elusive,

hard to grasp, and even unpredictable. However, The Aha! Factor describes in a precise fashion

how we can utilise what she calls the Energetic Communication System to receive the answers to

our prayers. Mariana describes in detail all sorts of ways of using our psychic powers and she also

passes on an invaluable list of 101 signs which indicate that our Aha! Factor is “tuned in and turned

on”. Clearly written, this book has a palpable inspirational energy which left me enthused about

trying out the exercises and finally exerting some control over how I live my life.

NAME OF WRITER XXXXX

The goal of the Cygnus Candlelight Cinemas initiative is to create and demonstrate a new demand for transformational films. Jean-Paul Martinez, a Cygnus member, knows many other filmmakers like himself who are making such films. So he and his network are developing an international network of 1000 informal cinemas in village halls, pubs, and schools. These can be gathering spaces for all who want to see and share what is possible.

A candle is lit to remind us that we are all part of one source, we all bear that light within us, either side of the screen. The host of the evening introduces the film by telling us a little about the filmmaker and what inspired them to make the film. We watch the film together and then afterwards bring our chairs into small groups and share what the film has revealed in us. We hope that through the means of these films, we can provide a space for you to meet like-minded folk in your locality.

THE FAIRY TRAIL A wonderful documentary celebrating the natural world, full of beautiful images of lush plant life and pure natural abundance. How do we relate to elementals, fairies and other nature spirits? The voices are all diverse but there is a unity behind it all, one of love for life in all its vibrations. Also includes great music.

THE HERO’S JOURNEY by Joseph CampbellWhile the writings of Joseph Campbell are rarely daunting, truth be told he was an academic and they are serious and relatively heavy works. This, on the other hand, is the essential companion to his own books, an oral history of his rich life, full of photographs of influential artworks, illustrative images, and encounters between Campbell and other significant figures like George Lucas and Robert Bly. I can’t think of a better introduction to this great teacher who has so much influence over our inner cultural lives today. P.S.

FINDING JOE “I don’t believe that people are looking for the meaning of life, as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” A group of contemporary spiritual teachers pay tribute to Joseph Campbell, outlining in particular his image of the Hero’s Journey.

re-enactments of myths and stories led by kids in everyday landscapes. It also

illustrates the quest via classic movies like The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars.

THE BOOK OF HO’OPONOPONO by Luc Bodin, Nathalie Bodin Lamboy & Jean GracietHo’oponopono comes from Huna, the traditional healing and spiritual shamanism of Hawaii where it was traditionally used to promote reconciliation within communities. One short phrase encompasses the practice of compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude. On the surface this appears to be something very simple, and yet on deeper study it is found to touch many elements of the world’s philosophies, spiritual practices and science, even dreaming. Ho’oponopono can be applied to anything from traumatic past events to minor daily annoyances, it seeks out and breaks negative cycles such as destructive thought patterns and difficult family dynamics with the power to resolve the negative and bring harmony.

RADICAL AWAKENING by Amoda MaaAmoda invites us to embrace the “oneness” within, reconciling everyday life with spirituality. Her honest and authentic insights will appeal to those searching for a different way of being, in place of life’s usual “fight or flight” struggle. She examines the opportunity of personal transformation that’s accessible within the here and now, and suggests that we are each being called to “give up the small me” to change our relationship to humanity. The idea of non-duality is essential to her if we are to bridge the gap between personal and universal consciousness in an increasingly unstable world. Ultimately, if we can embrace every moment in order to awaken from that dream of separation, we can get closer to the divine essence in our everyday life.Paperback, £9.99❖ Code: 260216 Cygnus price: £6.99

START HERE NOW by Susan Piver

This little book is almost perfect, as long as you don’t mind it being unashamedly Buddhist. And anyway – mindfulness is Buddhism. If you want to take your practice a bit further in that direction, this book forms a perfect introduction. Susan Piver is a high-profile teacher in America and her teaching here is tolerant and intelligent. She tells stories about how she has failed and how she has picked her life up again. Buddhism is the great technique for helping you start again. She helps you work out which form of Buddhism is best for you. I found this book so inspiring in coaxing me gently to build up a resilient meditation routine. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. Paperback, RRP £9.99❖ Code: 260215 Cygnus price: £7.49

SPIRITUAL BALANCE

SMILING MIND by Jane Martino and James TuttonA glorious little handbag-sized book that is a handy guide to any newbie meditator venturing into the, often complicated, world of mindfulness. To some, the term mindfulness can be quite daunting as its meaning is not always easy to determine, but Jane and James explain all in an accessible and conversational tone. With easy, practical exercises and bite-sized explanations, this book is for anyone interested in starting their journey into mindfulness. The book itself is beautifully designed, with a bold and varying format, which makes each turn of the page a new and unexpected delight. In fact, the only drawback to this gorgeous little

blue breath-of-fresh-air is that the text can at times become slightly too small. But if this wouldn’t affect you in a huge way, it is well worth persevering until the end. Hardback, RRP £7.99❖ Code: 260218 Cygnus price: £4.99

OCCUPY LOVEThis is about a revolution of love, about love in political action. Can revolution be spiritual and does spirituality help revolution? Hopefully this film will encourage a peaceful revolution in all of us. Full of inspiring people demonstrating better futures.

MORNING MANTRASThe little book is a team production, a visually attractive compilation of pithy and inspiring quotes put together to energise and inspire. Some are by famous names, others are anonymous, but each quote has its own colourfully illustrated page. Begin on the first page with a photograph of London and the Shard towering above all the other buildings with the words “Reach for what you think is unreachable”, and when you come to the final page you will find the reminder “Don’t be inspired. Be inspirational.” Keep this little book by the kettle to choose a daily thought to ponder over with your morning coffee, or slip it into your bag or pocket for a quick lift at any time of day. You could even cut a page out to make a mini-poster.Paperback, RRP £9.99❖ Code: 260219 Cygnus price: £6.99

NOT I, NOT OTHER THAN I by Russel WilliamsOur world is full of books on all aspects of spiritual teaching, from the serious academic to the borderline flaky, but now, suddenly, this little book appears like a jewel in the rock-face of inspirational literature. Throughout his long and challenging life Russel Williams has been quietly dispersing his unique teachings to small groups, seeking no recognition or reward, just quietly changing lives. Now, well into his 90s, he has agreed to allow Steve Taylor to put together and publish both the story of his life and the essence of his teachings. A jewel of a book to read from cover to cover, then read all over again.Russel received almost no formal education and there is an immense freshness and clarity of thought here which seems to rise from an uncluttered mind.
