Download or read book Finding Freedom in Illness written by Peter Fernando and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!" Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best). To Peter Fernando's credit, he makes that statement, and no such impulse arises. We believe him because he's been there himself and because he backs up the statements with his own real experiences and with real wisdom from the Buddhist teachings. Fernando starts by defusing the pernicious belief that anyone is somehow responsible for their illness: you're not "wrong" for being sick. Then, having gotten past self-blame, one can begin to learn self-kindness. From there, one moves to mindfulness practices and cultivating body awareness—even if body awareness is distasteful when the body isn't behaving the way you like. Further topics include getting intimate with dark emotions (fear, despair, the scary future, frustration, grief, etc.), learning equanimity (rejoicing in the good fortune of those who don't share your suffering), cultivating healthy relationships in the midst of everything, and practical advice for living with pain. Each chapter comes with one or more practices or guided meditations for putting the teachings into practice.

Book excerpt: How satisfied are you with your level of emotional and spiritual maturity? Do you feel discouraged by lack of progress in your spiritual life? Frustrated by failures to follow through on your good intentions? Embarrassed by discrepancies between your outer appearance and inward reality? Stuck in damaging emotions—such as anger, resentment, and revenge? If “yes” is your answer to any of these questions, be encouraged. In Emotional Freedom, Jane Ault shows you how to move from the bondage of emotional dysfunction to the freedom of emotional integrity so that you can grow toward spiritual maturity. Stories by those who have moved from anger to self-control, resentment to joy, and revenge to forgiveness inspire you to persevere in your healing journey. The “Tree” model of emotion expands your understanding of emotion. The dance called “Choosing Grace” tells you how to cooperate with God so that you can receive his grace and power. Maps of anger, resentment, and revenge help you recognize stages in the development of addictive emotion. Maps of self-control, joy, and mercy show you steps in the pathway to freedom. A study guide listing key concepts, plus questions for reflection and discussion, helps you integrate these new concepts into your everyday life. “This gem of a book offers us a key to release the shackles of dysfunction that keep us bound to an immature past. From personal experience and with great insight, compassion, a scriptural foundation, and incisive writing, Jane leads the reader from stoic brokenness to emerging freedom.” —Carolyn M. White, abd, MA, CASAC “Jane writes knowledgeably about recognizing destructive patterns in our lives, understanding the dynamics that fuel them, and moving forward with God to overcome them.” —Jean Coles, friend and fellow sojourner

Download or read book Irreversible Damage written by Abigail Shrier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE TIMES AND THE SUNDAY TIMES "Irreversible Damage . . . has caused a storm. Abigail Shrier, a Wall Street Journal writer, does something simple yet devastating: she rigorously lays out the facts." —Janice Turner, The Times of London Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively. But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.” Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility. Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters. A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.

Download or read book Emptiness and Joyful Freedom written by Greg Goode and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pinnacle of Buddhism's understanding of reality is the emptiness of all things. Exploring reality towards the realization of emptiness is shockingly radical. It uncovers an exhilarating freedom with nowhere to stand, while engendering a loving joy that engages the world. This path-breaking book employs the emptiness teachings in a fresh, innovative way. Goode and Sander don't rely solely on historical models and meditations. Instead, they have created over eighty original meditations on the emptiness of the self, issues in everyday life, and spiritual paths. These meditations are guided both by Buddhist insights and cutting-edge Western tools of inquiry, such as positive psychology, neuroscience, linguistic philosophy, deconstruction, and scepticism. The result is a set of liberating and usable tools for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

Download or read book Pathway to Freedom written by Gloria J. Kelsey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gloria Kelsey has experienced several traumatic events in her life, including a near-death experience at birth, an abusive and toxic marriage, and the death of her two children. Walking through the chapters of her life, you will discover how unresolved trauma built strongholds of insecurity, fear, and rejection within her soul. Agreeing with an oath of secrecy, and suppressing negative emotions, caused physical and psychological distress; blocking the healthy flow of energy within her body and creating an environment for disease to exist and develop. As Gloria travelled the healing path, she learned that many diseases originate from traumatic situations and that emotional memories from painful events were stored in her brain, and at the cellular level of her body, along with the anger, grief, and stress associated with those events. Living in a toxic marriage caused Gloria to come into agreement with a casualty covenant that brought reality into being; negating God’s Word and impeding her body’s ability to heal. As she allowed the Lord to navigate her through the healing process by dealing with the roots, fruit and effects of emotional and psychological trauma, the ticking bomb of unprocessed trauma was diffused. The Lord brought healing to her spirit, soul and body; giving her the freedom to cross over ‘Jordan’ and come into her divinely appointed destiny!
