A book designed to dispel the myths we have about emotions, showing how to treat them in such a way that they no longer become a burden... We are often faithful to emotions, feeling somehow owned by them, when in fact emotions depend on us. We need not cling to them or take them so seriously. They are energy movements, which would not exist if we were not here to witness them. This book aims to show that we need not label our emotions in any way. We need not regulate or police ourselves. We can relinquish suppressing something because we believe it is "wrong" to feel a certain way - this is all just conditioning... What This Book Will Give - A greater sense of peace from no longer making rules about how you should and should not feel. - Emotional healing tools and emotional healing techniques so that the emotional healing process can take place naturally. - A greater sense of lightness and ease, which may come as a result of going through the stages of emotional healing. - A realisation that your thoughts are not problems. - A clarity in seeing that any painful emotions are somehow attempting to protect you. - Ways to forgive yourself and others and have a greater self healing ability.- Ways to effectively deal with challenging or painful emotions in yourself and in others. - A more enjoyable life experience that flows from a deeper intelligence. You Will Also Learn...How to naturally deal with and - anger - boredom - jealousy - loneliness - anxiety - conflict - emotional pain - resistance - suppression - suffering - depression - fear - regret - guilt as well as... - how to stop being concerned about other’s opinions and - how to forgive yourself and others You will also learn that all of your thoughts and emotions are not as personal as they appear to be. They come and they go in the awareness that you are. Why This Book? This book was written after suffering a great deal myself from a highly overactive mind, depression, anxiety, great frustration and anger at the world, and coming out the other side with emotional healing tools and emotional healing techniques that are counter-intuitive and yet very simple to use. This emotional wellness book is a reflection of what has worked for me, and what continues to work for others to release old traumas, destructive mind patterns or emotional pains that you feel are holding you back. This book on emotions and emotional wellness shows you that there is no correct way to feel, and that the entire conflict with yourself, of trying to feel a certain way and resisting how you feel now, is what creates so much distress. There is so much in the self-help world about happiness, emotional wellness, emotional healing, present moment awareness, abundance, joy and happiness, that when we feel the opposite of these things, we unknowingly create an inner conflict, feeling there must be something wrong with us.

Very clear, useful writing on how to stand as awareness
The author does an excellent job at explaining in simple terms how to stand as awareness, let emotions flow through you without identifying with them or feeding the “painmaker”, surrendering to life (and why this is a good idea), and how to weaken the false notion of being a “person”.
Different chapters address several of the most common and unsettling emotions in daily life, and how to attend to them.
Some readers may find the book repetitive in its main argument, but I felt it was worth the reiteration.
Finally, even as a more advanced student of nonduality, or Advaita, I found the book's practical simplicity refreshing and a good reminder of how to go about everyday life.
thank you for your work. U mention Eckherd Tolle & his work. Another to mention is Michael Singer . The truth/the way is the same, but certainly it helps to hear it many times from otherson the psth
Contains the best idea that I have encountered this year. We are not our thoughts, we are not the labels we place on ourselves, we are spaces of awareness. The emotions that arise in us are not us but rather just that, feelings that we must observe and let go.
