Growing Into Soul

About the Book

We are each a part of an expanding, evolving Universe, which experiences itself only through human consciousness. As the Universe evolves, so does our consciousness. Evolutionary currents are now rocking Western consciousness, as the old left-brain, logical, analytical approaches to life are no longer sufficient to create balanced, fulfilling lives. Western minds are opening as never before to expanded spiritual awareness, more typical of Eastern traditions. Without a bridge connecting the two traditions. integration is elusive, practical applications few, and dissatisfaction with life continues.

Growing Into Soul: The Next Step In Human Evolution is the book which will bridge the two traditions, taking readers from where they are now in their lives, through concrete, practical guidance, to the next level. This level is the next evolutionary step, beyond 'survival of the fittest', to 'survival of the wisest'.

Growing Into Soul: The Next Step In Human Evolution clearly illustrates the path of higher consciousness, then teaches readers how to live that path. This involves a shift from ego-based to soul-based thinking and responding. This easy-to-remember dichotomy allows readers to grasp otherwise difficult or complex concepts and processes.

The book demonstrates that life outcomes are the result of how we interpret our experiences, and teaches how we can choose wiser interpretations. The way we think, feel, speak and behave can change dramatically as a result.

Soundly based on human psychology, this book 'makes sense' to a very broad reading audience. This is a 'how to' book unlike others: elegant in its simplicity and practicality, yet profound in the depth of consciousness into which it taps, and the change it elicits.

About the Author

The material presented in this book has been the basis of the author's work during over 12,000 hours of individual, relationship and family therapy (as a professionally certified psychologist) over the past ten years. Many of her clients have shown dramatic improvement in chronic physical symptoms, including heart conditions and rheumatoid arthritis. Deep emotional healing is at the core of her work. Clients with anxiety disorders have seen remarkable improvement: in most cases symptoms have disappeared completely. The author's work empowers others: a client who suffered from prolonged sexual abuse as a child, which she could not even discuss for the first several months in therapy, went on to become a consultant providing workshops on sexual abuse to police departments.

Countless others have felt the rewards of making the acquaintance of their 'true selves' - their own souls. The ramifications for their relationships with others, especially partners and children, have been astounding. Parents, introduced to a more soulful perspective, have radically shifted their approach to parenting. Teens, introduced to this perspective, have radically changed their parents! The author's approach has further allowed many to be transformed, rather than devastated, by job loss, relationship endings, or loss of a loved one.
