Self-compassion. Positive social relations. An enduring sense of freedom and peace.
They're essential parts of our everyday lives, or should be. But each of us struggles with difficult emotions and mental we might lash out when we should know better, or regress in negatively familiar situations, or struggle with our confidence. These types of problematic reactions occur--and recur--when we're unkind to and negligent of our inner selves.

Using clear language and personal anecdotes, The Great Heart Way shows how to follow the Great Heart Method, an efficacious program for healing and self-fulfillment. The Method is easily incorporated into busy schedules (it can take less than 30 minutes per day), and is accessible to all, regardless of spiritual background.

When meditating one often opens up old wounds and experiences that can be quite negative and challenging. A common criticism of Buddhist training is that it doesn’t effectively deal with the darker side of the mind. The Great Heart Way offers an approach to deal with these experiences through specific questions and meditations. The meditation is straightforward breath meditation to develop concentration and then advances to heart/mind practice by holding awareness to the heart. I recommend the book for people experiences difficulty with negative experiences or any one feeling stagnant in their practice.

Useful suggestions for considering the root of negative behaviors stemming from sometimes/often unconscious feelings. Good examples of various stores of stuckness and how individuals release and transform the negative habits of mind that baffle many of us even with a steady practice.
