The Three Ascensions Of Empowerment: A Dynamic Process for Emotional Alchemy and Transformation
Resulting from her personal transformation, Lisa Marie has identified the anchors that keep many of us feeling stuck in our life and precisely how to unhook them. In offering a perspective that shows evidence of your actual capacity to deliberately influence your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, she brings the light and clarity you need to most effectively and joyfully create the life you desire. She takes you through a process of emotional alchemy teaching you how to resolve your negative cellular memories, thus obliterating self-rejection and destructive self-beliefs. Lisa Marie also shows you how to become clear about your desires and to deeply appreciate your inherent abilities. You will gain a deeper awareness of your internal resources and authentic values hierarchy so that you may make use of their incredible leveraging power in creating the conditions and experiences you desire. As a whole, the content in this book will bring you to the understanding that your power resides within the expression of your truth. It will guide you to a place of internal freedom. Your innate happiness is only temporarily buried underneath layers of distorted beliefs, and habitual thoughts and emotional patterns. Lisa Marie states that upon realizing that her old paradigm constructed of shame and disempowerment mirrored a social epidemic, her intention for developing the Arete [ahr-i-tey] Process was born. This book was written to expose you to the hidden layers of your own default template of reality. Specifically the layers that are responsible for most of the frustration and unhappiness you may be experiencing. After bringing awareness to the denied aspects of yourself, she then gracefully shows you evidence against your most destructive core-beliefs (responsible for keeping certain aspects of yourself suppressed) relative to the vantage point of absolute truths. And from this new space, she teaches you how to heal what needs healing, and how to consciously alter emotional addictions and thought patterns that need to be altered in order for you to experience the life you desire. With each ascension — each gracious liberation from the maladaptive aspects of your conditioning — the magnetic force that is pulling you toward your truest, most inspired, and joyful self actually succeeds at bringing you closer. Lisa Marie also includes some of the most fundamental and important aspects of spiritual perspectives to guide you deeper into a place of self-love and love for all of humanity. You will also discover that finding your greatest source of happiness and applying it toward the advancement of humanity in a way that is most meaningful to you is what is required to establish your highest probability of success.

40 Days That Can Improve Your Life
What is the desire of your heart? To become physically in better shape? To find inner peace in a world that seems like it is always in crisis? To lose weight and fit into your clothes? To eat healthier, bringing you more energy for life? To become more spiritually centered with yourself and God? George Shinn said, “Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.” Through the next 40 days, you may feel you are moving from the known to the unknown. You might be, but that can be exciting and fun. Over the last thirty years, my desire was to stop smoking, run a marathon, write a novel, lose 20 pounds and build a healthy, loving marriage. I would never have believed I could achieve such “unattainable” goals. But, I did! I then asked myself the question, “How was I able to reach these goals even though they had seemed so unattainable?” I discovered there were six principles that I had implemented in each situation. I have created a 40-day journal using these six themes. I believe implementing these principles will help as you strive to improve your life. Each day, this book will offer a devotional meditation, with a space for you to write down your reflections. At the end of each week, you can review how you did and your progress in accomplishing your goals.
Own It: The Power of Women at Work
A new kind of career playbook for a new era of feminism, offering women a new set of rules for professional success: one that plays to their strengths and builds on the power they already have.
Weren’t women supposed to have “arrived”? Perhaps with the nation’s first female President, equal pay on the horizon, true diversity in the workplace to come thereafter? Or, at least the end of “fat-shaming” and “locker room talk”?
Well, we aren’t quite there yet. But does that mean that progress for women in business has come to a screeching halt? It’s true that the old rules didn’t get us as far as we hoped. But we can go the distance, and we can close the gaps that still exist. We just need a new way.
In fact, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future, says former Wall Street powerhouse-turned-entrepreneur Sallie Krawcheck. That’s because the business world is changing fast –driven largely by technology – and it’s changing in ways that give us more power and opportunities than ever…and even more than we yet realize.
Success for professional women will no longer be about trying to compete at the men’s version of the game, she says. And it will no longer be about contorting ourselves to men’s expectations of how powerful people behave. Instead, it’s about embracing and investing in our innate strengths as women – and bringing them proudly and unapologetically, to work.
When we do, she says, we gain the power to advance in our careers in more natural ways. We gain the power to initiate courageous conversations in the workplace. We gain the power to forge non-traditional career paths; to leave companies that don’t respect our worth, and instead, go start our own. And we gain the power to invest our economic muscle in making our lives, and the world, better.
Here Krawcheck draws on her experiences at the highest levels of business, both as one of the few women at the top rungs of the biggest boy’s club in the world, and as an entrepreneur, to show women how to seize this seismic shift in power to take their careers to the next level.
This change is real, and it’s coming fast. It’s time to own it.
