Soul Psychology: How to Clear Negative Emotions and Spiritualize Your Life
The words of Sai Baba, “God equals man minus ego,” are echoed by Dr. Joshua David Stone in his seminal work, Soul Psychology. A veteran transpersonal psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Stone teaches us how our entire understanding of ourselves and others is completely changed when we integrate our soul into the way we live our lives. Based on eighteen years of Dr. Stone’s practice, this book is not a psychological approach to spirituality. It is rather a spiritual approach to the psychology of everyday living.
At the heart of Soul Psychology is emotional healing through the dismantling of the “negative ego,” a psychological cancer that prevents us from acting in accordance with our soul’s true nature and purpose. This negative energy drives us to find our security outside of ourselves; whereas the only true security is one that is grounded in having a right relationship with self and a right relationship with the Divine. To guide us onto this path of spiritual ascension, Soul Psychology offers a stimulating new viewpoint that expands the boundaries of traditional spiritual practice, providing a wealth of accessible and powerful meditations and exercises, including
– The six-step process for healing and spiritualizing emotions
– The spiritual science of the seven rays and the twenty-two chakras
– Methods for clearing negative psychic energies that inhibit soul growth
– The one hundred most common pitfalls and traps on the spiritual path

Low Calorie, Empowerment, Fitness, Light Therapy, Rational Thinking (12 Week High Energy Life Plan)
“The concept of energy and the flow of that energy in the human body is the core of the current explosion in healing. The healing principle is to “balance” the energy in the body by using relaxation to counter the body’s reaction to stress.” The Berkeley Holistic Health Center
The High Energy Life Plan integrates all the tools for living a healthy, balanced life. Many times busy people will see or read something that they would love to integrate into their lives. They also lack the time to plan and execute a total health plan.
The Life Plan includes food/diet choices, exercise choices, and emotional/mental techniques for stress reduction. All the pre-tests, measurements, references for each of the three categories (diet, exercise, and emotional/mental tools) are given.
Our goal is that each person using the High Energy Life Plan can create and continually change her/his health plan. Health takes effort to maintain. Each of us needs to know what we need to attain our highest level of health.
Your plan will include mental, physical and emotional exercises that you can use for the rest of your life because a total life make-over is needed to get and stay healthy.
1) Our program includes affirmations, assertiveness, being centered, breathing exercises, cognitive reframing, communication, creativity, exercise, empowerment, food program, goal setting, guided imagery, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, muscle relaxation, nutrition, relaxation, support program, time management, transactional analysis, and yoga.
2) Daily we are experiencing an overload of information. By using RSS feeds, we have become accustomed to “sound bites”. So the High Energy Diet contains many descriptive links so you may use the individual information that you choose. So instead of our publishing a book for you, we have published all the information links that you can choose to create your own, individual book to use for your High Energy Life.
3) While researching for this High Energy Life Library, we found hundreds of books which were each filled with good direction. The problem is that we have less and less time to devote to even our own improvement. So we knew that short, to-the-point weight management techniques would be a time-saver and motivator to even the busiest person. So we offer these books as a basis for lifelong health program.
4) In summary, you may choose: the food program you choose, the exercise that you love, the emotional techniques to help you learn how to relax into stress, and the mental disciplines needed to focus your energy on the things you can change.

Confidence To Love Your Life
Confidence To Love Your Life is an inspirational tale that reveals how to leave your comfort zone, shatter your self-doubt, and give birth to a more confident you.
In this enlightening story, three friends risk leaving the comfort of their homeland to reach a goal, win the gold, and live the promised happy life.
All believe that reaching their goal will make them successful and happy. They begin their journey with visions of greatness, expecting a quick and easy outcome…
… until an unforeseen challenge appears. Each must face paralyzing fear, emotional turmoil, worry and lame excuses, and feeling victimized by life before gaining the ability to rise up and step into each moment with confidence.
Their journey to reach a goal is a metaphor for what you want to achieve in life – whether it is money, health, weight loss, overcoming addiction, moving beyond depression, or attaining spiritual peace of mind.
The “gold” is where you routinely look for the happiness you want – the end of the goal.
Eventually, one of the characters, Aryan, discovers how to deal with the challenges successfully and experiences a dramatic personal transformation. He discovers exactly how to overcome the roots of fear, self-criticism, and his lack of confidence.
