Shining Bright without burning out
Shining Bright Without Burning Out: Spiritual Tools for Creating Healthy Energetic Boundaries in an Overconnected World (Sounds True Publishing, 2022)
Turn your sensitivity into a strength with tools and practices for protecting, clearing, and nourishing your energy. Our world is becoming increasingly connected—and not only because of technology. Many of us are waking up to our energetic and spiritual interconnectedness, as well. For those in healing professions, as well as any empathic and sensitive souls, this can feel overwhelming, confusing, and draining. In Shining Bright Without Burning Out, Mara Bishop teaches that we have far more ability to keep our energy healthy and sovereign than many people realize. Drawing from research in neuroscience, psychology, fundamental meditation principles, and time-tested shamanic healing methods, Bishop shows us how to adjust the porousness of our energetic bodies at will, so we can remain both clear and connected. For anyone feeling overstimulated and exhausted by our increasingly overconnected world, Shining Bright Without Burning Out offers a practical and personal guide to staying sane, healthy, and clear.

INNER DIVINITY
Inner Divinity: Crafting Your Life With Sacred Intelligence (2007)
Inner Divinity is the spirit you were born with. It underlies who you are today. By rediscovering your inner divinity, you hold the key to bringing balance, healing, and joy into your life. Author Mara Bishop, an intuitive and shamanic practitioner, shares much of the wisdom she's conveyed to clients over the past decade.
Inner Divinity contains seven sections that contain exercises for using the concepts practically. Each section covers an area of life where you will benefit by engaging your sacred intelligence: your relationship with yourself, with other people, and with your environment, your intuition, your spiritual support, your health, and your future.
Truly believing and understanding your divine nature is an ongoing process. Inner Divinity shares the personal story and realistic practices of one woman who, through discovering her inner divinity, found peace, power, and a life she loves.
