Soul Psychology: How to Clear Negative Emotions and Spiritualize Your Life
by Joshua David StoneThe words of Sai Baba, "God equals man minus ego," are echoed by Dr. Joshua David Stone in his seminal work, Soul Psychology. A veteran transpersonal psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Stone teaches us how our entire understanding of ourselves and others is completely changed when we integrate our soul into the way we live our lives. Based on eighteen years of Dr. Stone's practice, this book is not a psychological approach to spirituality. It is rather a spiritual approach to the psychology of everyday living.At the heart of Soul Psychology is emotional healing through the dismantling of the "negative ego," a psychological cancer that prevents us from acting in accordance with our soul's true nature and purpose. This negative energy drives us to find our security outside of ourselves; whereas the only true security is one that is grounded in having a right relationship with self and a right relationship with the Divine. To guide us onto this path of spiritual ascension, Soul Psychology offers a stimulating new viewpoint that expands the boundaries of traditional spiritual practice, providing a wealth of accessible and powerful meditations and exercises, including- The six-step process for healing and spiritualizing emotions- The spiritual science of the seven rays and the twenty-two chakras- Methods for clearing negative psychic energies that inhibit soul growth- The one hundred most common pitfalls and traps on the spiritual pathFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Soulful Living: The Process of Personal Transformation
by Rick Nurriestearns Mary NurriestearnsThere are two main ways we become wiser, said Joseph Campbell, the great mythologist-- through revelation and through suffering. For must of us, suffering is by far the most common process. Because suffering is a part of everyday life, this means that opportunities for cultivating wisdom, personal growth, and transformation are limitless. In fact, if we totally eliminated suffering in our quest for happiness, we would stunt our spiritual growth, because this would mean eradicating our major path to becoming wiser. If suffering is the price we pay for being human, wisdom is the dividend-- that is, if we make proper use of the painful challenges we bump into, which is what this book is all about.

Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backwards: Rising Above Life's Challenges with Humor, Hope and Courage
by Brian Luke SeawardSeaward says: "One of the most important lessons I've learned is that it's not what happens to us, but our reaction to what happens to us that causes us stress." He shows us how to learn this lesson, too. Then he continues: "And that means we have the power to control our level of stress. We, in fact, have the power to choose not to react at all to that which happens around us. It is not what life brings to us that determines our level of happiness and self-fulfillment. It is the attitude we bring to life. The most important decision we can make each day is our choice of attitude. It is what will spur us on or stand in our way." Since we are in charge of our attitude, we are the architects of our lives."
