The Whole-Hearted Healing Workbook


Book Description

This book, at long last, is the first Whole-Hearted Healing tutorial written for the general public. For over 15 years, Whole-Hearted Healing has proven its worth as an effective trauma-healing technique that puts all the control in the hands of the client, and radically transforms problems into positive feelings. Some key insights by its developer, Grant McFetridge, translate into a remarkable rate of success. This book is intended for people with various levels of experience with regression therapies and Peak States work: -For determined beginners, it is a suitable guide to learning the technique on their own. -For people who have attended a basic Whole-Hearted Healing or Peak States workshop, it is an in-depth review of the material they covered. -For people who have practised WHH for a few years, using The Basic Whole-Hearted Healing Manual as a guide, it is an update, written for laypeople, that includes the latest advances in our understanding of traumas and healing. -For therapists, it is an aid in explaining WHH to clients, and in empowering them to participate fully in their own healing. -And it's an entry-level textbook for students working with peak states of consciousness.

Wholeheartedness


Book Description

I'm being pulled in a thousand different directions. As a therapist, Chuck DeGroat hears that line all the time. "I hear it from students and software developers," he says. "I hear it from spiritual leaders and coffee baristas. And I hear it from my own inner self." We all feel that nasty pull to and fro, the frantic busyness that exhausts us and threatens to undo us. And we all think we know the solution -- more downtime, more relaxation, more rest. And we're all wrong. As DeGroat himself has discovered, the real solution to what pulls us apart is wholeheartedness, a way of living and being that can transform us from the inside out. And that's what readers of this book will discover too.

Peak States of Consciousness


Book Description

Breakthroughs in Understanding the Biology of Consciousness This textbook covers fundamental discoveries about the biological basis for spiritual and shamanic states, transpersonal experiences, and consciousness itself. Derived from explorations into the very earliest prenatal development, this book describes how consciousness is based on biology inside the cell. Developmental Events: Spiritual and shamanic states are a legacy of our earliest prenatal growth stages. The Primary Cell: Consciousness extends from just one cell of the body. Triune Brains: The cell organelles are the basis of the 'subconscious' triune brains. Transpersonal Biology: Spiritual, shamanic, and psychic phenomena are based on access or perception of biological structures inside the cell. Inherent Dangers: Triggering certain prenatal traumas may cause serious or life-threatening problems. With this theoretical foundation, we can now understand what traditional spiritual and shamanic practices do at a biological level, as well as understand what makes different healing therapies effective. More important are the very practical applications - entirely new techniques for spiritual growth and healing become possible, through a synthesis of traditional concepts with modern microbiology. This textbook on the theory of peak states and the biology of consciousness is used in our therapist training classes. Although it is written for professionals, we've made it available for laypeople that are interested in the cutting edge of consciousness research and its applications to psychology and medicine.
