Undisturbed: A Guide To Emotional Wellness

by Adam Oakley

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. We can stop distinguishing between good and bad emotions, right or wrong feelings, feelings "I should have" or "should not have," what is "spiritual" or "not spiritual," and instead return to pure experience, which is untarnished by story-telling, resistance or personal attachment. From here we become aware of the deeper peace available prior to emotional movement, where emotions can not stick, which is also the source of all useful action.

About the author

Adam Oakley writes all kinds of books, and they all point towards the power and peace within.

He has written guidebooks for inner freedom and dealing with emotions, short inspirational stories for greater peace of mind, and a novel about mythical creatures of the forest that hold wisdom and entertainment for us all.

His love for nature and its intelligence can also be found in "The Work Of Ronald Berkley", and his practice of martial arts has led to his latest children's book, "A Tale Of Two Ninja Kids".

Each book has a life of its own, all giving unique and enjoyable ways to experience our fundamental truths and inner power.

He has a BSc (hons) degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Bath, which successfully steered him away from an anticipated career in pharmaceuticals, and into one that he likes much more.

He loves what he does now, and he is grateful for your support.

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.

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.
