The Little Bird Who Found Herself. This item is unavailable.The Little Bird Who Found Herself

The Little Bird Who Found Herself was written long ago by Ed McMahon for the young daughter of friends. Years later this same little girl went on to college, and hoping to pass the story on to others asked her friend and fellow classmate, Prabhjot Jody Uppal, to put pictures to the Little Bird story. Over the past several years Peter A. Campbell, Ph.D. has helped coordinate the process of illustrating this wonderful story that is a joy to share with others. The growing worldwide problem of increasing violence and how we effectively diminish this is at the heart of Dr. McMahon's life's work. He has found that once adults develop a habit of noticing and nurturing their own important feelings they can become creative in guiding children of all ages into learning the same habit of how to take care of their own feelings. Passing on this more embodied experience is the key to nurturing future peacemakers from the inside.

Edwin M. McMahon, Ph.D. is a teacher, author, psychotherapist, priest and cofounder of the Institute for BioSpiritual Research who has spent his life researching how parents, child caregivers, teachers and other who interact with children can personally learn to experience an inner process that creates human wholeness. The Little Bird story does this not only because it uses a non-technical, non-abstract story line, but because it neither accuses or blames, nor arouses resistance or fear in the reader/listener. Instead, it moves directly and gently into the body's knowing where it can resonate with truths hidden within, stirring up a more embodied and meaningful connection that touches the readers/listener's life.
