Millions of people live with depression as a daily reality without understanding what is happening within them. If you are conscious of depression you are trying as a dual soul to transition out of old beliefs and fearful emotions into a new mental understanding and loving emotions. It is through the knowledge of our own invisible energy fields that we have the power to heal depression and disease. This "soul approach" explains why depression is normal and what it means to you as a transitioning consciousness.

Review

"A 'must read' for therapists: After many years of working with people and recognizing that our emotions and our body are reflective of each other, I have finally found an author who addresses this issue and has expanded my knowledge of people and myself and the purest meaning of the term 'Holistic Health.' Kathy Oddenino's books (there are six) have done more for me as a person and as a therapist than any other source I have come across. The side effect of this information has been an increase in my effectiveness with my clients and thus an incease in my client base ... This book is the most uplifting book I have ever come across on this subject. It is truly a delight to read ... Our clients come to us in various states of dis-ease and unless we are in a balanced and expansive frame of mind we will be of little use to those who are seeking help. This body of teachings by Kathy Oddenino gives us tools to expand our consciousness levels and to help expand and balance us, thus allowing a more effective interaction with others. This is a 'must read' book for anyone who is working as a therapist.'" -- by Raewyn E. Cooper, Challenges/ March 1996

Kathy Oddenino's Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions takes the reader into the invisible energy of Being, God, Truth, Knowledge, Energy, Creation, and our Human and Divine Relationships. Depression shows the evolution of the soul as it transitions within a divided mind and conflicting emotions. Depression reveals the levels of depression and the symptoms of depression that are acted out in life. Many ways of healing depression are explored. Twelve specific steps to happiness and seven steps to self-healing are laid out. Oddenino shows the practical relationship of the invisible energy of our mind and emotions to our everyday behavior. In so doing, she defines the consciousness of thinking and feeling and the impact of a dual soul on the human spirit in daily life, moment by moment. This is an innovative self-help book that will prove of immense usefulness to anyone suffering from depression -- and those who live, love, and care for a depressed person. -- Midwest Book Review

From the Author

This book is being written because many of my students have requested that my teachings about depression be put into writing. Whenever we talk about depression we must of necessity talk about our dual soul mind and emotions. My teachings about our dual soul mind and emotions and our spirit consciousness come to me automatically as inspired thought from the nucleus of my Universal mind of spirit consciousness. Although I have been exposed to this information all of my life my levels of consciousness experience are forever expanding and I find myself not only receiving information but essentially being within the multiple consciousnesses of creation and of my mature soul memory.

Using my superconscious mind as a homologous thought energy opens me to criticism from those who have no awareness of our dual soul mind and emotions or of our spirit consciousness. For many years placing myself in a position for external judgement concerned me. Now I know that those minds that are ready to understand will and those that have not yet reached the level of transitional thoughts and emotions will not.

Read this book with an open mind and you will see your own life experiences reflected in my words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers questions I have had my whole life., January 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions (Paperback)

Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions is Kathy Oddenino's sixth book. I have read all six--all more than once, which is rare in my long history of book-reading. When I read Depression I felt more and more excited as I progressed through the book. I began to understand the accumulation of emotions and feelings within my life just as I felt my excitement growing as I read. The author defines the soul and explains in language I felt within my heart, just as clearly as I saw the words on the page, the transition of our emotions from fear to love as we evolve as a consciousness. I have read a lot of books in my 35 years, and until now I have never found one which defines the soul and spirit and spirituality in a logical, sensory way which excites me as I relate the knowledge to my life. When I read in Kathy's dedication, "this book is dedicated to the millions of people who innocently suffer the emotional and mental pains of unhappiness, sadness, and depression without knowing why," I know I am only one of those millions. Are you? Read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a 'must read' for therapists, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions (Paperback)

After many years of working with people and recognising that our emotions and our bodies are reflective of each other, I have finally found an author who expands on this. This book is the most uplifting book on the subject of depression. It is truly a delight to read. Kathy takes us through the different levels of depression, from unhappiness through to hopelessness so gently that we feel te truth when she says, "No one escapes depression, not a single, solitary person, because depression is the begining of our awakening to a higher level of consciousness." Not only are the symptoms of depression explained but the reason for them are also outlined in a clear and decisive manner. This is followed by a wonderful chapter on the healing of depression and the acceptance of change. This body of teachings by Oddenino gives us tools to expand our consciousness levels, thereby allowing us to be more effective in our interaction with others. This is a 'must read' book for anyone working as a therapist of mind and of body.

5.0 out of 5 stars answered a lot of questions and gave direction., November 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Depression: Our Normal Transitional Emotions (Paperback)

What a wonderful book! I have read this 5 times and it has been a completely different book with each reading. The author guides the reader to examine behaviours,thoughts and emotions and to relate them to experiences so gentley that it left this reader with a sense of excitment to discover and understand more. This is a must read for anyone working as a therapist and it would be a great help for massage therapists in helping them understand the energy fields produced by the mind and the emotions.
