Emotional Genius: How Your Emotions Can Save Your Life
About this book
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. With her unique methods, McLaren has helped hundreds of people overcome the persistent cycles that perpetuate depression, anxiety, and other troubling emotional states. 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.
