Journey Into Consciousness
Author: Charles Breaux
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House
ISBN: 9788120814547
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In the present book, the author introduces the Tantric methods of Tibetan Buddhism and draws correlations between this practice and the teachings of Carl Jung. In a clear, concise style, Breaux points out how many psychological truths are woven into the fabric of the Tantric doctrine. The language of the Tantra is visionary--abounding in symbols and metaphors produced spontaneously in the meditations of ancient yogis. At the heart of tantra is the experience of a divine power within the human being that can be awakened. The format of the book begins in the root chakra and follows the path of your psychological and spiritual continuum up through the chakras. Each chapter includes a meditation practice employing Tibetan Tantric Deities and procedures. Although not a substitute for a genuine Tanric teacher, the book will enable readers to experience the tantra through suggested meditation. You enter the light within when you step outside of your own shadow. The basic drive to remember your essential nature surges beneath all your fears, desires and preconceptions. Although they approach this process from opposite sides of the world, both Tantra and Jungian psychology aspire to fathom this mysterious process and create the necessary conditions so spiritual transformation can occur.

Alfredo's Journey
Author: Alfredo Zotti
Publisher: Modern History Press
ISBN: 1615992243
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
More than a just a journey, Alfredo gives us a blueprint for humane treatment of mental illness In 1981, twenty-three-year old Alfredo Zotti began his lifelong challenge of living with Bipolar II Disorder. He quickly hit rock bottom, spending time as a homeless person and turning to street drugs and alcohol to medicate his symptoms. After hospitalization and careful outpatient monitoring, he became a successful musician and completed university. In 2004, he started to mentor sufferers of mental illness, and together, they developed an online journal. Alfredo now sees mental illness from a new perspective, not of disadvantages but advantages. In his words: "Having a mental illness can be a blessing if we work on ourselves." In this memoir and critique of mental illness, the reader will learn: ÿ * How empathic listening and being with someone can help calm that person's symptoms ÿ *ÿThe power of singing to create a safe space in a community ÿ *ÿWhy spirituality can be a key component in the healing process ÿ *ÿThe connections between mental illness, artistic expression, and people who think differently ÿ *ÿThe impact of childhood trauma on our psyche and its role in mental illness ÿ *ÿThe dangers of antipsychotics and antidepressants ÿ *ÿThe amazing connection between heart and brain and how we can cultivate it ÿ *ÿThe challenges of love and marriage between partners with Bipolar Disorder "Alfredo's story and his insights into the causes and treatment of mental ill-health are incredibly moving and impressive. His humanity, intelligence, creativity and his generosity and compassion towards people affected by mental illness and dedicated mental health professionals shine through the pages of his book."ÿ -- Professor Patrick McGorry, AO MD PhD, Executive Director, OYH Research Centre, University of Melbourne "As a clinician and academic, one can study and research ever known aspect of a disorder and write scholarly articles for learned journals, but none of this holds the potency of an individual relaying his or her lived experience. Alfredo does just this in his inimitable style, offering hope at every juncture to those who travel a similar road. The story should be read by clinicians, academics and sufferers alike." --Professor Trevor Waring AM, Clinical Psychologist, Con-Joint Professor of Psychology, University of Newcastle Learn more at www.AlfredoZotti.com From the World Voices Series at Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.co
