Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Someone pushes your buttons. You feel rage, fear, sweaty palms, unbidden tears-you feel like a kid.We've all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, in Growing Yourself Back Up, the first book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee identifies the circumstances that cause these seemingly uncontrollable feelings and shows how they are directly tied to our experience as children.No adult, explains Lee, need ever experience the helpless feelings of childhood again. Here are his proven methods and visualization exercises, developed in his popular workshops, for recognizing, preventing, and diffusing regression in ourselves and others. He teaches, for example, that adults cannot be abandoned, they can only be left; if we're feeling abandoned we're regressing. He also reminds us that no matter how overwhelmed we are, adults always have options; if we believe we don't, we're in a regression.Growing Yourself Back Up will show you how to:\* develop strong emotional boundaries and convey them to others\* learn the Detour Method that reverses regression\* confront without regressing\* communicate with the authority figures who push your buttons\* minimize regression at family functionsLee offers hope-as well as practical strategies that work-for conquering those childlike feelings of powerlessness that are almost always rooted in regression.

The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into 'safe' substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism.

For twenty years, Sandra Ingerman has studied alternative ways to reverse environmental pollution. In this book, Ingerman takes us on a remarkable journey through the history of transmutation, teaching us how we can use this forgotten technique to change ourselves and our environment. She provides us with creative visualizations, ceremonies, rituals, and chants derived from ancient healing practices that produce miraculous, scientifically proven results. In one dramatic illustration of what can be accomplished when consciousness and awareness fuel our actions, Ingerman describes her own success in transforming the nature of chemically polluted water.
