About this listen
It’s completely natural to want to avoid pain, because it feels “bad,” we instinctively resist it, ignore it, override it, and generally try to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Sometimes, we try to numb ourselves or escape–through painkillers, drugs, or alcohol; through distractions like shopping and overworking; or even through exercise or spiritual practices–because those are the only tools we know for dealing with it.
But what if pain isn’t the problem at all?
The truth is, pain is simply a message designed to get your attention.
It isn’t a punishment. It’s a gift.
With more than 35 years as a physical therapist, energy healer, and a life coach, Helen MacMillan has helped countless people process and find the gifts in pain’s various forms—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
In this book, she shares her simple yet powerful five-step method to help you break the cycle of pain, release limiting beliefs and habits, shift your mindset, and transform your life. Through deeply personal stories from both her own life and the lives of her clients, she shows how you, too, can find the gift in your pain–as well as a greater sense of peace, healing, love, and acceptance than you ever thought possible.

Empaths not only sense other people’s emotions, but also absorb them - sometimes to their own disadvantage, often leading to overwhelming sensory overload and feelings of confusion or low self-esteem. Their willingness to help and please others might make them prey to opportunists or cause them to give away more energy than they can afford.

Even if you are unaware of their presence, angels are always available to help you. If you have experienced a lucky break or happy coincidence, it was most likely orchestrated by your guardian angel. And, as Robbie Holz reveals, if we give angels permission to enter our lives, if we ask for their help in navigating life’s many challenges, their assistance is much more profound and effective. In this step-by-step guide to calling on angels and benevolent spirit guides, Holz explores how to initiate and nurture your angelic relationships and engage their powerful assistance.

In Stop Missing Your Life, mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness. He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and integrated selves in the world.
