Book Description
Stephen Wolinsky brings us full circle in understanding the reality of our inner child. Rather than being always "precious", Dr. Wolinsky shows us the dysfunctional shadow side of our inner child and puts us in touch with those frozen, inner-child memories or trance states that keep creating problems by filtering reality through outmoded, limited, and distorted lenses. The Next Step is to, finally, own and acknowledge this dark side and step out of our inner-child trance into the present time and uninterrupted awareness.

Homecoming
Author: John Bradshaw
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0804150389
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In this powerful book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reclaiming Virtue shows how we can learn to nurture our inner child and offer ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for. Are you outwardly successful but inwardly feel like a big kid? Do you aspire to be a loving parent but too often “lose it” in hurtful ways? Do you crave intimacy but sometimes wonder if it’s worth the struggle? Are you plagued by constant, vague feelings of anxiety or depression? If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood—carrying within you a “wounded inner child” who is crying out for attention and healing. John Bradshaw’s step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage helps us break away from destructive family rules and roles, freeing ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, inviting us to find new joy and energy in living. Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, guided meditations, affirmations, and letter-writing to the inner child. These classic therapies, which were pioneering when introduced, continue to be validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. –C.G. Jung Cheating... lying ... jealousy ... blaming ... greed ... shame… These forbidden feelings and behaviors erupt from the dark, denied part of ourselves-the personal shadow. But they erupt with a purpose: They are trying to tell us their secrets. Meeting the Shadow is a landmark collection of 65 wide-ranging essays by thought leaders – including Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Ken Wilber, James Hillman, Susan Griffin, Harville Hendrix—on the dark side of human nature as it appears in families, intimate relationships, sexuality, work, spirituality, politics, therapy, and creativity. It presents tools for shadow work that enable us to make a conscious relationship with the shadow, defuse negative emotions, release guilt and shame, achieve a genuine self-acceptance, and heal our relationships. Although we think of the shadow as containing only darkness, as Jung stated, its essence is "pure gold.”

Book Description
Do you want to recognize and heal the shadow patterns and wounds of your inner child? Do you wish to get rooted in your soul for wholeness? Do you want to influence your programs and beliefs to attain eternal bliss? Do you want to know where you are on the ladder of consciousness, and how to move up? Do you want to learn how to forgive, let go, and have compassion for yourself and others? Do you want to alter and strengthen your mindset to maximize every aspect of your life? If so, this guide is just what you need. For many, the word “Shadow Work” conjures up all sorts of negative and dark ideas. Because of the beliefs we have of the term Shadow, it is tempting to believe that Shadow Work is a morbid spiritual practice or that it is an internal work that includes the more destructive or evil facets of our personalities. But that’s not the case. In fact, it is vital for your spiritual growth. When you go through a spiritual awakening, there comes a point where Shadow Work becomes necessary. So, what exactly is the ‘Human Shadow,’ and what is ‘Shadow Work?’ The definition of the Shadow Self is based on the idea that we figuratively bury certain bits of personality that we feel will not be embraced, approved, or cherished by others; thus, we hold them in the Shadow. In brief, our Shadows are the versions of ourselves that we do not offer to society. It includes aspects of our personality that we find shameful, unacceptable, and ugly. It may be anger, resentment, frustration, greed, hunger for strength, or the wounds of childhood—all those we hold secret. You might claim it’s the dark side of yourself. And no matter what everyone suggests, they all have a dark side to their personalities. Shadow Work is the practice of loving what is, and of freeing shame and judgment, so that we can be our True Self in order to touch the very depths of our being, that is what Shadow Work means. You have to dwell on the actual problems rather than on past emotions. If you do so, you get to the problems that have you stressed out instantly and easily. And to be at peace, we need to get in touch with our darker side, rather than suppressing it. Whether you have struggled with wealth, weight, love, or something else, after dissolving the Shadow within, you will find that your life is transforming in both tiny and drastic ways. You’ll draw more optimistic people and better opportunities. Your life will be nicer, easier, and even more abundant. The book covers the easiest practices and guided meditation to tap into the unconscious. It’s going to help you explore certain aspects so that they will no longer control your emotions. Just imagine what it would be if you could see challenges as exciting obstacles rather than experiencing crippling anxiety. This book is going to be the momentum you need to get to where you’re trying to be. You’ll go deeper into your thoughts, the beliefs that hold you back disappear, and you get a head start on your healing journey. In This Guide, You'll Discover: ✔️What is the Human Shadow? ✔️Characteristics of Shadow ✔️Do We All Have a Shadow Self? ✔️How is the Shadow Born? ✔️What is the Golden Shadow? ✔️The Mistake We All Make ✔️What is Shadow Work? ✔️Benefits of Shadow Work ✔️Tips on Practicing Shadow Work ✔️Shadow Work Stages ✔️Shadow Work Techniques and Practices ✔️Shadow Work Mindfulness ✔️Shadow Work FAQs Covering every bit of Shadow Work, this guide will subtly reveal the root of your fear, discomfort, and suffering, showing you that when you allow certain pieces of yourself to awaken and be, you will eventually begin to recover, transcend your limits, and open yourself to the light and beauty of your true existence.

Pages : 372
Book Description
Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks, but then she gets a lead on a story that could salvage her extinct career. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a hot news tip, which she gets in the form of a major police cover-up . . . for a ring of soul-sucking vampires out to take over Seattle. So much for saving her credibility. And if that isn't bad enough, she gets talked into adopting a cat and finds she's allergic to it. A cat that turns out to be a shapeshifter who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer on the prowl for the same corrupt cops. Her first thought: seek professional help. But as Susan's drawn into Ravyn's dark and dangerous world, she comes to realize that there's a lot more at stake than just her defunct career. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers; it's a matter of saving their very lives and souls. Ravyn's life was shattered over four hundred years ago, when he mistakenly trusted the wrong human with the truth of his existence. He lost his family, his honor, and his life. Now, in order to save the people of Seattle, he's forced to confront that nightmare all over again, and to trust another woman with the secret that could destroy him. In the world of the Dark-Hunters, life is always dangerous. But never more so than now; when a very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is . . . will she?
