Clearly written with a lot of fascinating research into the way the mind-brain works - holding us prisoner in the grip of a crippling complex - or allowing beauty and boundless possibility to flourish in the soul. He examines the myths of certain archetypal God/dess figures such as Hermes, Ganesh and Aditi - explaining how they can manifest and define your own life story - and how to engage their positive power. He playfully examines mind tricks that make us (and our loved ones!) miserable, and explores how to disengage from these distortions through active imagination - employing mindfulness, prayer, and meditation. He investigates the influence of all the chakras on our mind/body/spirit, inviting us to identify our predominant chakra along with its archetypal guide, its challenge - and its need for balance. Clear, comprehensive and fascinating guide to the human mind, soul and spirit.","isbn":"9780892542031","author":"A.

Suppressed resentment or inauthenticity through editing out one\u0027s genuine feelings come at a huge cost to the \"Lovely\" person - who ends up doing and being what everyone else wants them to do and be, but never what they want to do or be themselves. They may, indeed, not even know the true self - often deeply buried - that is aching to be expressed; however, they DO know that on some level they are deeply unhappy and resentful of their partner, parent, child, boss, friend, sibling, work- colleague, etc. - and scared of their own frequently simmering rage and frustration.This book - written in a light-heartedly readable way - makes acute observations on the particular curse of being \"Lovely\". The author, drawing on her many years\u0027 experience as a counsellor, examines case histories - detailing how each client is encouraged to make small, manageable baby steps towards being a more authentic, happy individual! Read me now - and discover how to connect more meaningfully with the significant others in your life - and, just as importantly, with your own, true, significant self!","isbn":"9780749957223","author":"J.
