In the "what a doll!" department: here's a beautiful testimonial
good buddy Andy Wibbels, author of
BlogWild: A Guide To Small Business Blogging , sent to his newsletter list on the debut of Everyday Bliss For Busy Women.
"Maryam's an expert on the full palette of energy and healing practices
and is always my go-to when I need the low-down on the latest
techniques to bubble up from the spiritual and new age underground.
She's traveled through every spiritual tradition I can think of and is
an expert at cooking things down to their easiest graspable essence. On
a personal level, she's one of my own fellow travelers as we've built
our businesses in parallel together (and a long-time blogger to boot!).
Plus, she's just a freakin' gem."
(Hey Gents! What I write about is good for you too!)
Here's How We Did
At Amazon.com:
As of midnight on 5/2/2008, Everyday Bliss was listed
at #2 in Women's Health at Amazon.com, and at #5 in Personal
Transformation, and #142 in all Books sitewide, up from 8,978 at the start of its premiere day 24 hours earlier.
It's worthwhile to note that EDB's "neighbors" in the
category of Personal Transformation included above me at #4, Dale
Carnegie's venerable "How To Win Friends and Influence People" and
below in 6th position, Eckhart Tolle's current Oprah's Book Club
choice, "A New Earth".
I don't at all mind being at the feet
of Dale Carnegie, and gobsmacked to be above Eckhart. What blows me away is that for a few minutes in time at least, my book
was thought to be at least as significant as these great works. Bless me! (ps: want pictoral proof? click the tiny pic above)
Love & Warm Blessings,
Maryam
This is the question I am most frequently asked about Everyday Bliss For Busy Women. If the reason isn't obvious enough on the face of it, the answer can also be found in reading the book and applying what it teaches. I wrote the book so women who are in the thick of the tangled energy of their own lives can have a way out, a way that supports them and makes them feel delicious, beloved and relaxed, every day. If you think that sounds impossible...well, read the book, then create a free account and get inside here - there's more to help you find your bliss once you're logged in.
But what really sparked me off? That's a tale of public radio. In 2006 as I was preparing to write a book for women about energy therapies, I heard on NPR the startling statistic that for the first time in history, working women suffered the killer diseases of toxic stress in proportions greater than working men. The first time in history! And what's more, we're dying of these diseases: heart attack, stroke, cancers, digestive and mental disorders.
We've known since my publisher put out The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook (thirty-odd years old and still going strong!) in the 1970's that we need to relax...badly. But we don't do it.
Why? That's a complicated question, but in my practice I see women who think the odds are so stacked against them they don't even want to try.
"Life is too much already and you want me to sit in a
corner and contemplate my belly button? Oh, please."
What you'll learn in Everyday Bliss For Busy Women are immediate stress-elimination techniques that not only work fast, but are easy to learn, replicate on the road or in the board room (even in the middle of a fight with your honey) and are teachable to everyone from kids to grandparents.
You need it, they need it and when we all get relief from our stress guess what? Fights go away, reasons to feel depressed go away, symptoms in the body go away and people start behaving more nicely and kindly to one another.
You want a covert agenda? That'd be mine.
And if you'd like to download the whole media kit for the book, you can do that here .
What is Bliss?
That varies, differs with each person who answers the question. The noted mythologist Joseph Campbell urged us back in the '70's to "follow your bliss". At the time my teenaged cronies and I giggled ourselves silly at the thought. We had sex, drugs and rock 'n roll on the brain back then. Oh yeah. You know what I mean...
But today....? My answer - and probably yours - would be quite different. Today my Bliss would be all about being at complete choice in my life. That would include lots of space, being in the green outdoors, time to do what I want when I want to do it, quality time with family and friends, freedom from agendas, epicurean foodie-fests, massage, yoga, being silent and a whole bouquet of items.
What do YOU think of when you think of what Bliss might be in your daily life?
This is Job One - first to define (in some cases, redefine) what Bliss means to you. As I advise women in the book, start your own Bliss Journal. Decorate it so that it is lovely and meaningful to you. Write in it with special pens (purple glitter? golden metallic ink? the venerable green pen that just fits so well in your hand?) and make time to define EXACTLY what Bliss means to you. The more thorough your definition, the more likely you are to get exactly those things. Happy Journaling!
