Spiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis (New Consciousness Readers) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In his book "Cosmic Consciousness," published in 1901, Richard Bucke writes of "certain men who...are either exalted, by the average self conscious individual, to the rank of gods, or, adopting the other extreme, are adjudged insane." This is the earliest mention I have found of the potential problem inherent in the spiritual growth process: bouts of madness, or at least extreme dysfunction. The Grofs have put together a collection of essays by themselves and various other authors which explore the psychic/psychological dynamics of what they call "spiritual emergency." That's their term for when the growth process puts a person into psychic overload. The essays describe different aspects of such overload, as well as ways to help someone (or oneself) through it.

A repeating theme throughout the book is that too often such people are pathologized and medicated by well-meaning but materialistic-minded health care workers. This not only terminates the process so that breakthrough cannot occur, it can also drive the patient into permanent madness. Some of the contributors to this book include Roberto Assagioli, John Weir Perry, Ram Dass, Lee Sannella, Holger Kalweit, and others. There is a fascinating piece by Keith Thompson entitled "The UFO Encounter Experience as a Crisis of Transformation," which is the most profound way of looking at UFO abduction phenomenon that I've ever read. I recommend this book to anyone interested in personal growth--it is interesting, well-edited, and filled with a lot of useful information.

Spirit Driven Success Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As I seek Truth & Freedom, I was led to read this profound book. Dani Johnson came from being a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas living in her car with $2.03 to her name to a multi-millionaire by the Grace of God. She was the Keynote Speaker last year at Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) 2007 Annual Grand Convention here at the DC Convention Center. Since that time she has been at a Morris Cerrullo Conference, on Benny Hinn's This Is Your Day TV program, Trinity Broadcast Network's (TBN) Behind the Scenes program and probably other international venues of which I am not aware. I wondered why many YLEO business owners who were attending her seminars were coming back from them having accepted Christ or either with a deeper relationship with Christ and were catapulting up their organization's leadership line becoming debt free and other notable benefits. After reading only a few pages of this book, I understood. God is using her to reveal some deep things for such a time as this. I highly recommend this book if you have ever worried about how you would pay your bills or how to improve your personal relationships or why your business ministry gift was not being utilized in traditional church settings or why your life is not going the way you believe it should. There really is something for everyone. Your life will change for the better!

The Gift: The 12 Greatest Tools of Personal Growth -- and How to Put Them into Practice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a speaker and trainer for over 20 years, I have often quoted Dr. Helmstetter's earlier books in my presentations on self-esteem and successfull goal setting. This book is the best yet because of how concisely he isolates 12 major-but-simple techniques anyone can use to improve their lives. In fact, a reader can pick and choose what chapter to read to fit a particular circumstances.
I bought extra copies of this book to give to people I care about. Recently I was visiting a friend in her real-estate office. She pulled out her now well-worn, bookmarked copy of the book I had given her several weeks ago to help her through a business slump. She told me how priceless she thought the book was and how much she was benefiting from it. However, she was equally excited because she been able to share parts of it with her teenage daughter, who then asked to borrow the book to share with another friend who needed to work on her self-esteem. (My friend got another copy for the girls because she will not give up her own!)
I have read all of Dr. Helmstetter's books and know that he has already changed many lives, but I truly believe this is his best book yet. There is something in this book for everyone, and the real gift you give yourself when you have this book is the joy of sharing it with someone else.

The Art and Practice of True Wellness Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't recommend this book enough. It is easy to read and understand giving you effective strategies for attaining and maintaining wellness in your life. Each chapter brings hope, help and health to every aspect of your life. The exercises and meditations guide you to acknowledge behaviors and beliefs that keep you from finding inner joy and true wellness. I read some of the chapters several times and had many "A HA" moments. It is a manual for self-discovery that will teach you how to celebrate your truth and nourish your soul.
