Download or read book Never Judge a Book by Its Cover written by Joanne Houghton and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 is a year of awakening which brings with it significant change. There has been a gradual movement away from religion and a seeking of spiritual truth which has unearthed many questions leaving few with refined answers; who are we? why do we exist on planet earth? what is our purpose? This pivotal time has led to much confusion where literature is of mass yet lost in mystery and intrigue. ‘Never Judge a Book by its Cover’ delivers a powerful message to the world which identifies the who, why, what, where and when of life and the root cause for the rise in negativity across every landscape of this planet; The deactivation of our DNA many thousands of years ago which altered the mechanics of human form. Poor health, disease, terrorism, poverty, unemployment, religion, homelessness and overcrowding are a direct result of this manipulation which made human beings easy to control through structure, regime and the illusion of separation. You are more powerful than your human brain can comprehend and in sharing my own life experience and the many challenges I have faced including; severe depression, disempowerment, anxiety, abusive relationships, bankruptcy and death I reveal all, making the obvious understood and the not so obvious realised. Life is a game and it is now time to step past your fears, to move beyond the veil of separation and overcome the limitations of your perceived reality. You are a creator god in human form, you are more powerful than any machine in existence and you are here to lead a joyful and fulfilling life, to follow your passions and build your dreams, to love unconditionally and to live without fear. We all hide behind the cover of our own story but once you immerse yourself in the pages of this book you will surely realise your own innate power and rise once more in the knowing of who you are, never again, to judge a book by its cover.

Download or read book Healing After Loss written by Martha W. Hickman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic guide for dealing with grief and loss. Daily reflections to find solace in our own lives, and comfort in the connection of sharing these meditations with countless others. After the focus on planning and outpouring of love from family and friends in the immediate aftermath following the loss of a loved one, we are left to enter a new version of our lives where someone important is missing. For days, months, years, the pain of the loss can crash in all at once. It is tempting to push that wave of grief back and soldier on with our new lives, but the loss will never lose its controlling power if we don’t find the courage and love to face it. Meditating on the loss, along with the rush of love that comes with it, gives us a chance to rejoice in the life that was shared, and to look forward in which memories of our loved ones continue to bless us. The short, poignant meditations given here follow the course of the year, but it is not a necessity to follow them chronologically. They will strengthen, inspire, and give comfort for as long as they are needed.

Download or read book Handbook of the Psychology of Self Forgiveness written by Lydia Woodyatt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is a ground-breaking and agenda-setting investigation of the psychology of self-forgiveness. It brings together the work of expert clinicians and researchers working within the field, to address questions such as: Why is self-forgiveness so difficult? What contexts and psychological experiences give rise to the need for self-forgiveness? What approaches can therapists use to help people process difficult experiences that elicit guilt, shame and self-condemnation? How can people work through their own failures and transgressions? Assembling current theories and findings, this unique resource reviews and advances our understanding of self-forgiveness, and its potentially critical function in interpersonal relationships and individual emotional and physical health. The editors begin by exploring the nature of self-forgiveness. They consider its processes, causes, and effects, how it may be measured, and its potential benefits to theory and psychotherapy. Expert clinicians and researchers then examine self-forgiveness in its many facets; as a response to guilt and shame, a step toward processing transgressions, a means of reducing anxiety, and an essential component of, or, under some circumstances a barrier to, psychotherapeutic intervention. Contributors also address self-forgiveness as applied to diverse psychosocial contexts such as addiction and recovery, couples and families, healthy aging, the workplace, and the military. Among the topics in the Handbook: An evolutionary approach to shame-based self-criticism, self-forgiveness and compassion. Working through psychological needs following transgressions to arrive at self-forgiveness. Self-forgiveness and health: a stress-and-coping model. Self-forgiveness and personal and relational well-being. Self-directed intervention to promote self-forgiveness. Understanding the role of forgiving the self in the act of hurting oneself. The Handbook of the Psychology of Self-Forgiveness serves many healing professionals. It covers a wide range of problems for which individuals often seek help from counselors, clergy, social workers, psychologists and physicians. Research psychologists, philosophers, and sociologists studying self-forgiveness will also find it an essential handbook that draws together the advances made over the past several decades, and identifies important directions for the road ahead.
