Drawing upon his 25 years as a holistic psychotherapist, John Ruskan presents a brilliant self-therapy system for complete inner healing and well-being. Based on a unique synthesis of Eastern meditation-mindfulness principles and Western humanistic psychological insights, the DEEP CLEARING program will empower you with a feeling-based, holistic, inner process that will clear the subconscious, restore and maintain emotional balance, overcome inner and outer negativity, and spontaneously shift you into authentic unconditional joyfulness and Higher Consciousness.
The method emphasizes that for complete and permanent inner healing we must primarily work on a feeling-emotional level. Suppressed negative emotions such as fear, anger, loneliness, resentment, sexual frustration, trauma, and feelings of inferiority, rejection, failure, being controlled and dominated, etc. build up in the subconscious and directly influence our quality of life, leading to depression and physical disease conditions.
The book takes you through a series of consciousness shifts that gives you a new radical outlook and tools for emotional self-healing. It shows you how to use emotional pain as a means to heal and evolve yourself instead of merely being battered by it and stuffing it into the subconscious. As you learn how to release trapped subconscious emotional pain and trauma, your world experience effortlessly changes for the better.
Rather than rejecting and fighting the perceived negative through cognitive or reconditioning practices, the DEEP CLEARING process trains you in how to apply the enlightened spiritual principles of acceptance, presence, and witnessing to negative states, thereby allowing them to integrate and naturally resolve themselves. You will learn how to relax and accept yourself deeply, calming the critical, self-blaming mind.
The book is divided into sections, beginning with a quick-start, easy-to-understand guide that enables you to immediately apply the process to distressing emotional experiences. The following section expands your understanding and effectiveness by explaining the psychological subtleties involved. The final section of the book gets into the mystical aspects of the work, introducing key esoteric philosophy and techniques that are compatible with any higher-consciousness practice. Included are basic and advanced meditation instruction, sophisticated breath techniques, third-eye focus, psychological chakra study, connecting to the healing energies of the universe, generating authentic self-love, and how to clear Karma by going within, eliminating the need to experience it in the outer world, and more.
This is not a quick-fix approach to inner healing, but a serious program in holistic meditation-mindfulness self-therapy which can release negative energies that have been accumulating for life-times. John shares fascinating detailed case studies from his professional practice that will help cultivate your skill in applying the process to yourself, addressing anxiety, OCD, PTSD , sexual addiction and abuse, trauma recovery, emotional neediness, anger management, childhood abuse, negative past-life influence, and a remarkable medically-documented cancer reversal case.
John's life-long personal experience on the spiritual - higher consciousness path began in 1968 at the age of 26 when he was initiated into a major yoga tradition. Almost 30 years later, in 1994, he self-published Emotional Clearing, a guide for releasing suppressed negative feelings by means of an inner meditative technique.
John has worked for the last 25 years as a holistic psychotherapist. He regards intellectual probing into psychological dysfunction to be limited at best. His work is completely focused on a right-brain, feeling-based, mystical approach to inner psychological healing. Accordingly, he is fundamentally at odds with mainstream left-brain cognitive therapies, and also tends to discount the current neuroscience craze as a mostly materialistic dead-end distraction from genuine inner soul healing, even though he is quite articulate about Western psychology and has incorporated key humanistic psychological principles into his work.
John began his career with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University (1964), but quickly abandoned that life-style for that of the artist. He was a working musician - singer-songwriter - recording artist - recording studio owner in NYC until reinventing himself as an Emotional Clearing Facilitator in 1994. He feels that his experience as an artist was instrumental in developing the right-brain intuitive skills that have enabled him to formulate his vision and to empathize deeply with others.
John Ruskan is a phenomenally talented and amazing being who has graced this earth with his work on so many levels. His books Emotional Clearing and Deep Clearing do not do themselves justice in the titles as they are so much more as the journey to self unfolds. In his books, John lights the way through doing your inner work and learning true acceptance of the reality inside of us all on a deep level. If you desire to have the questions so many of us ask ourselves to be answered, and wish to not only understand on a feeling level but to also transcend the mind and conditioning of how society has failed us of true knowledge and growth. Then his books will take you on that inner journey to awakening. It's not a hold your hand and make you feel good kind of experience, but rather the truth and practical guide to truly seeing the path and walking it with open eyes internally. It has transformed my life to say the least. I no longer suffer, instead I consciously evolve and embrace life on a whole new level. Say goodbye to emotional roller coasters and be the navigator of your life when you do the work in the book that is a true gift to humanity Thank you John for teaching me what society, school and family failed to as I know this information is something that should be taught at school as an essential to healthy individuals and therefore a healthy society We can't complain about the world around us if we are not prepared to do the work within us. I also purchased the CD series as it helps clear so much suppressed internal turmoil, making it easier to navigate and lessens the emotional volcanic release begins. The CD series takes you into deep meditation and the Alpha state it induces is like the anaesthetic in spiritual surgery do to speak, making the healing from trauma painless. With much love and gratitude, Amy
I have dealt with chronic illness for the last 5 years; addiction, PTSD, emotional & childhood traumas as well.
I originally bought this book because I've been on a path of alternative healing for my chronic pain, since modern medicine has failed. I've had some success in changing my diet and lifestyle and incorporating a spiritual practice. But reading this book has taken me to a whole other level. It is not a quick fix (however, SOME results can be felt immediately), but a long term solution. One that requires daily effort, and which will eventually provide complete healing.
Everybody deals with pain (physical or emotional), and everybody could benefit from learning the emotional clearing process defined in this book. Anybody who is capable of getting out of the mind/ego and getting into the physical or psychic body can do this. In fact, anybody who is simply willing to learn how to feel the self inside the body can quite possibly do this process!
I plan on incorporating the techniques in this book for the rest of my life.
John’s writing style is easily accessible to us all, trained therapists as well as those who are not. I have found the humanistic approach to therapy, especially connecting with somatic work, to be the most powerful and successful personally and for all my clients. This book, Deep Clearing, offers everyone the steps needed to start releasing those trapped emotions by themselves. Bravo Ruskan ~ you’ve done it yet again!
Before reading this review understand I started it at only 13% into the book. I won this book in exchange for an honest review. When I started reading I had some concerns as it seemed to be talking about emotional clearing of the Scientology type! Not a positive in my mind. I continued and that thought occasionally came back to me but I could also see how it was different. I have not been involved with Scientology at any point but have read several books about it. Seeing the differences was comforting. I am finding I can only read a chapter or two then have to put it down to give myself time to understand what I've read. This is what the book calls left-brained thinking but I need this to understand and be able to move to the right brain feeling aspects. Lots of thinking and rereading passages was required so it was difficult to get through. I will probably be rereading it in order to try any of the activities.
I absolutely loved this book! It was a bit dense at first and I read it in smaller chunks. By the time I got to the third step/transcendental section, I couldn't put the book down. It builds on many previous things I've learned both as a psychologist and my understanding of energy and spiritual techniques. There are many practical techniques the book presents that I can utilize and teach others. I highly recommend this book!
