Auto Process Therapy: A Therapeutic Application of Buddhist Psychology

The Way is in the heart - Buddhist proverb“One of the Buddha's central teachings was anatta, a word which literally means ‘non-self’ but more accurately translates as ‘no unchanging self.’ Brian Ford translates it as ‘process-self.’ There was no word for ‘process’ in the language that the Buddha spoke. But if there had been, he would have used it. He consistently referred to the self as a fluid process rather than a stable essence. The Buddha did not intend anatta to be an esoteric doctrine for academic discourse. Rather, he meant it be a practical tool for relieving suffering. Like several others, Brian Ford brings the ancient wisdom of process-self to life by surrounding it with practices and techniques that can be used in the nitty-gritty of modern psychotherapy. In so doing, he makes the Buddha's teachings more accessible. And, more importantly, he helps infuse his clients with the practical, liberating insights of the Buddha.”― Doug Kraft, author of Buddha's Map: His Original Teachings on Awakening, Ease, and Insight in the Heart of Meditation.

Rivers of Light

Rivers of Light draws deeply on the ancient Chinese teachings of the Five Elements, guiding the reader through a personal wisdom journey of awakening and understanding. The teachings of the Five Elements describe our intimate connection to the laws, cycles and movements of nature, showing how all the Five Elements of the natural world live and work within each of us. However, we have an essential relationship with just one element, which plays out through a person’s life and has a central role in all aspects of health, from the physical to the emotional, mental and spiritual.

The author interprets this elemental relationship as karmic. She invites the reader to take a personal voyage as the book moves through the challenging shadowlands of stressful and difficult times that we all encounter, to lighter and blissful realms of higher consciousness, or the domain of the soul.

Using meditations, affirmations and colourful descriptions alongside the text, the reader is drawn into a fascinating world of discovery, to answer the deeper questions that we all meet as we move through life:

‘Why do I feel as I do?’

‘Who am I really?’

‘What am I here to learn or to understand?’

To know ourselves on a profound level is perhaps more urgent than ever before, as we come face to face with uncertainty in this rapidly changing world.

SCAD Straight from the Heart

This book contains true stories from real survivors in the hopes of raising awareness of an uncommon cause of heart attack in women and men.

The emotional effect of SCAD can be quite traumatic for both the survivors and those around them. It is hoped that this book will help newly diagnosed SCAD survivors to understand that they are not alone in this journey. It is also hoped that this book will assist those close to the newly diagnosed survivors to understand SCAD and the emotional effect that it has.

Soul Divining

Intuition is real. In this book, I wanted to share some of my experiences in order to raise awareness of this much-undervalued sixth sense. It can protect us and bring positivity to our lives. As humans, we rely almost totally on logic to problem solve. Hopefully, this book will give an insight into how important this sense is. Negative experiences very often occur when we ignore our gut feeling. Intuition is a spiritual tool that should be regarded as highly as the other five senses we possess.

The Animus of Identity: Shame

What are you?

Who are you?

What is it that makes you, you?

Why are you?

Explore with me as I use my own experiences, along with those of others I have met along my journey, the concept of identity, and how your trauma and circumstances can shape the person you become.

The Labyrinth: Rewiring the Nodes in the Maze of Your Mind (Rewired Edition)

For thousands of years, the labyrinth has been a symbol for wholeness, which can only be experienced when we live from our centre. As we develop in this world, society’s limiting beliefs hijack our perception, cocooning themselves around our essence; thus, we lose touch with our timeless self.

Fear-based beliefs compartmentalise our energy. They convince us that we’re an isolated fragment instead of one with collective consciousness—if you ever feel this way, then this book is for you!

The integration of fear-based emotions leads you back to your wholeness of being, which never left you. In this book, you’ll learn how to reconnect to your inner self and create the life you truly desire.

Only our beliefs separate us—whether religious, political, along with others—individually and collectively, Humanity must dissolve these limiting mindsets so we can live peacefully to embrace all life, on Gaia and beyond!

So, take my hand as I guide you through the maze of your old self, back to your inner self, where the illusions of the past have no more power over you.

Get ready to embrace your innate perfection.

The Rainbow Portal of Beliefs

Dear Reader, how do you feel about your life? Is it fulfilling and meaningful? Or do you feel that something is missing? During my life journey, I realised that each of us has a mission or a call, which we often tend to be more or less conscious about. And when we succeed in finding it, we become highly motivated to realise it as it provides us with our deepest longings. The call goes far beyond what you can experience through your normal senses and beyond what natural science can explain. Essential human topics like faith, hope and love belong to different concepts, which cannot be proved but only experienced. Furthermore, you will discover that if you identify your call and live it out accordingly, you will experience the most fulfilling and meaningful life. Even better, you become the best version of yourself. As a bonus, you will have an apparent reference whenever you need to make choices that have a far-reaching impact on your life. This book provides you with different perspectives and tools that can encourage you to become the driver in your life. As an aspiration, we follow the complete lifecycle of a person named Senius, who realised during his journey of why be satisfied with less, and learn about all his considerations to find and realise his call. The symbols below illustrate Senius’ call. May you find inspiration to develop your potential for an enriching life that will make you shine like a lighthouse and as an exemplary citizen of the global community. With these wishes, I send you my regards in the name of love and wisdom, Søren Krause.

Shielded By Faith: Rape And Persecution

There seems to me no thing in the human experience which compares to rape. It is where the sublime meets the depraved, ecstasy meets agony, love collides with lust and dreams become nightmares. This book is the culmination of reflections I have had since being raped and an attempt to convey the journey from the horror of that night to incomprehensible joy.The reader, having read these words, may feel doubtful. Is such a miraculous healing possible? Can a woman be rescued from such a pit of despair? Is there life after rape?
