An in-depth guide for all workers―employees, managers, and CEOs―on how to engage our emotions in the workplace to create a productive, creative, and truly workable environment.We’ve all been taught that we must suppress or avoid emotions at work, but this inevitably leads to a loss in productivity, diminished creativity, and crushing job dissatisfaction. Research shows 85 percent of us avoid communicating crucial workplace problems upward, and many of us who are employed are actively looking for a different job. What’s going on?“The foundational problem is that we threw emotions out of the workplace, when in fact, emotions contain the information we need to make our workplaces work ,” says Karla McLaren. Now this renowned researcher shares her insights on the skills we most need―and are most often absent in the business world―for healthy, functional, and sustainable workplaces.With The Power of Emotions at Work , McLaren teaches communication and empathy skills to workers at all levels, · How to co-create a healthy and well-balanced social environment that benefits all workers in any type of organization· How to recognize your primary emotional role―and the roles of others· How to support people in your organization who perform the most “emotional labor”· Where to find authentic motivation and engagement in your job· How to go from an “unintentional community” to a place of genuine belonging, and much moreWe all yearn to be our authentic selves at work, where we feel supported and can communicate our feelings and frustrations in a constructive way. Workplaces are “unintentional communities,” says Karla McLaren, because without access to our emotions at work, we are left without the tools we need to do our best work in a functional community. This is your resource to help you understand and engage intelligently with emotions at work―so you can help to create healthy and intentional communities where people and projects thrive.
Every one of us, at some time in our lives, has met a genius ? someone who has mastered an intellectual or artistic domain beyond the grasp of others. But there is another form of genius ? a rare brilliance found in those who are both graceful and compassionate under pressure, who face their most difficult feelings with openness and attention, and who have the uncanny ability to transform the temperaments of those around them. What are the keys to these extraordinary gifts? Can anyone learn them? On Emotional Genius, you will learn that all of your emotions ? even your darkest and most difficult feelings ? are carriers of energy and information that have the power to protect and heal you. How to marshall these beneficial forces is the secret of emotional genius. The good news, teaches Karla McLaren, is that anyone can learn to master this life-changing aptitude.

Now, in this absorbing nine-hour training program, you will learn how to create a safe and centered inner foundation for working with your emotions ? how to release the mental and physiological patterns that block your healthy emotional flow ? and how to begin retrieving the insights and healing energies that await you within each of your feeling states. The seventeenth-century philosopher Spinoza once wrote: ?Suffering ceases to be suffering as soon as we have formed a clear and precise picture of it.' With Emotional Genius, you can begin to achieve this supreme human accomplishment, with the very emotions that you are experiencing right now.
Did you ever sense that someone was upset, even when no one else seemed to notice? Or had a strong gut feeling that went against common sense- and learned later that you were absolutely right? If so, teaches Karla McLaren, you have already demonstrated the gifts of an "empath"-a person who uses the skill of emotional intuition to understand and connect with others more deeply. On Becoming an Empath, Karla McLaren brings her 30 years of study into the skills of "reading" and experiencing the emotions of others to offer this practical course for discovering and using your own empathic abilities effectively. In four guided training sessions, you will learn how to create healthy emotional boundaries, navigate your emotions in an agile and skillful way, and tune in to the feelings of those around you with unprecedented depth and clarity.

Healers are our most valuable human resource. Protecting them is vital if we are to survive and evolve. In this 90-minute tape, empath Karla McLaren explains the often draining energy exchange that can occur between healers and clients. She presents numerous exercises, body-based meditative practices, and grounded healing techniques to keep healers and givers from losing themselves in their professions. This tape can be used in conjunction with McLaren's book, Your Aura & Your Chakras: The Owner's Manual, or on its own as a support for anyone who gives as a part of their life's journey.
How do people create (and survive) drastic changes? How do they leave unhealthy relationships, groups, belief systems, or entire identities? And how do they leave when these things are essential parts of their lives, their careers, their place in their families ... or all three?These questions are crucial in a time when so many of us have been drawn into polarized belief systems and conspiracy theories that are tearing apart families, friendships, political parties, and the foundations of American governance itself.But change and reclamation are possible at any time. Missing the Solstice is a true story about a psychic healer in the New Age who realized with increasing horror that her belief system was not healthy or ethical, and that her continued support of ungrounded ideas was damaging people -- even if she never meant to hurt anyone.Karla McLaren was one of the teachers who brought the New Age concept of the psychic empath into the national conversation in the 1990s. From the age of 10 in the 1970s, when she entered the New Age, she was immersed in every part of the metaphysical community, from yoga to veganism to psychic healing to energy healing to alternative medicine to trance channeling, past lives, and more. She witnessed the many problems in these communities, and hoped to bring a grounded and ethical focus to what was (and still is) an unregulated wild west atmosphere that overwhelmingly appealed to sensitive and vulnerable people.But something changed drastically in 2001, and over the next 2 years, Karla slowly realized that she could no longer support New Age ideas or continue with her career.Missing the Solstice is a specific story of one woman who left a community, a belief system, a thriving career, and an entire identity behind, but it's also a story about what it means to leave any situation or identity that you've outgrown.This story is deeply relevant in a time when New Age conspiracy theories have gone mainstream, and when the least grounded and most paranoid excesses of alternative medicine are being forced onto the American public.Karla lost almost everything and missed the solstice in every sense of the word, but what she couldn't have guessed was that there would be an entirely new life -- and a better world -- waiting for her on the other side.
Empathic healer Karla McLaren presents an active, focused, body-based process for exploring and healing your energy body--your aura, your integrated twelve-chakra system, and your spirit-body connection. Grounded, earthy, and imminently practical, this tape includes a full 45-minute healing process for your aura, your chakras, and you! This tape compliments McLaren's books Rebuilding the Garden, and Your Aura & Your Chakras: The Owner's Manual.
Ayant travaillé avec des gens qui ont subi des traumatismes et des abus, l'auteur explique comment on peut arriver à nettoyer ses chakras d'anciennes blessures et comment purifier et renforcer son aura pour se protéger contre la mauvaise énergie. Elle explique des techniques d'ancrage à la terre qui sont indispensables pour relier son corps et son esprit à la terre. Elle aide aussi à comprendre, lire et définir les limites naturelles de votre aura qui vous protège. Grâce à des techniques de visualisation et tout en développant ces frontières énergétiques, vous pourrez découvrir des compatibilités avec les autres et ainsi construire des relations productives. Votre corps et vos émotions contiennent une plus grande force de guérison que n'importe quelle volonté extérieure et, en respectant vos besoins intérieurs, vous pourrez créer un lien constant entre votre corps et votre esprit. La guérison est pour Karla McLaren un mélange de connaissance, d'intuition et de découverte de soi. Tout ce qu'il faut, c'est une foi en soi-même et la volonté de croire en sa propre intuition et son propre jugement.
