“Words are the language of our minds. We often think in words. In this sense language is the software of our mind. What if the words themselves influence our thinking? Could the words we think with actually change the way we think? The Power of Words is beautifully written by Luisa Natasha Parker and helps bring greater consciousness and awareness to our choice of words. The focus is to choose the uplifting words that best help raise self esteem and nourish the power within. I recommend this book to anyone to create a more positive mind.”

– Simon Brown, Macrobiotic and Feng Shui Author, Teacher and Consultant

“How wonderful! SO refreshing to see someone TRULY think about what is needed by children after the long day at school whilst at the same time reflecting what hard work and energies parents and adults put into helping and providing for them. 

My favourite lines are 

As we remember the tiresome, Dedication, hard work – all outstanding teachers would hate to think of what they encourage as tiresome but the reality is that for many learners it will be – that’s why it is important to remember to keep our lessons creative, to focus on the bigger picture and encourage those moments of self-reflection and the WHY we are learning/doing/making. 

Take a moment and close your eyes, take a deep breath in and out and remember a time when you faced a challenging moment and decided you just needed that moment of creativity to sing, to dance, to paint, to play to the rhythm of your favourite melody and to feel fully alive and engaged. – we all need this as human beings. I used to do a lot of brain-break activities in my lessons and this has reminded me of the need for them. And of the need for me to switch on the creative side of my brain too. 

Words are extremely powerful things – harnessing the power of what we say to ourselves is just as important as what we say to others. This book will help children – and the supervising adult – do just that. 

Thank you for sharing this. What a treat. 

Kind regards,
