Synopsis "Balanced Soul: 52 Holistic Practices for Personal Evolution (in English)"
We all want to live a joyful life, sharing our unique gifts, and presenting our best selves to the world. Too often, however, we get bogged down in apathy, anger, and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. The key to a Balanced Soul is personal exploration, expression, and acceptance. In this enlightening book, licensed psychotherapist Sonia Abel presents 52 easy to use practices that she has learned and used herself; both on her own journey of spiritual and personal growth, as well as with her clients as a transpersonal therapist. Practices such as: What is Karma Teaching You?, Cultivating Compassion for Yourself, and Understanding your Shadow can help you explore and understand yourself so that you can let go of self-defeating behaviors and practice new, more life-affirming ones. "When we actually allow ourselves to feel and respect our feelings, we open up to the cathartic release and insights of healing. We realize that we're going to survive, and spiritual practice helps us believe that we can and will thrive! Transcendent experiences like meditation and reverence for nature give us the gift of knowing that we can rise above (transcend) the limiting beliefs about ourselves, the pain and alienation of everyday life, and become our Best Selves. Transcendent experiences become transcendent beliefs; they take us beyond what we thought was possible." - From the Introduction
