A groundbreaking book, Emotional Wisdom reveals powerful ancient tools for transforming our painful emotions into happiness and health. So-called negative emotions are valuable messages that let us know we are out of balance. With compassion and humor, Taoist authors Mantak Chia and Dena Saxer explain the messages that anger, depression, fear, worry, and stress offer us. They present three easy-to-learn twenty-minute internal energy practices, with helpful illustrations, to turn these imbalances into harmony and joy. They provide unusual nutritional advice for emotional healing and a Taoist First Aid section with proven natural remedies for minor ailments such as insomnia, indigestion, headaches, and overeating. Relevant quotes from the Tao Te Ching add inspiration to this practical, life-changing book.

Life changing,
By C. Germain "Realtor," (Moreno Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emotional Wisdom: Daily Tools for Transforming Anger, Depression, and Fear (Paperback)
This book is great! The tools really work! After doing the Healing Sounds on the first night, I slept like a baby. The next day, I read the chapter on the Inner Smile and practiced it. Immediate effects I noticed were: My body would not allow me to rush anymore. Suddenly, a whole space opened up where I can truly enjoy my morning and get to my destination unhurried. It feels unbelievably calm. What a relief! Although I am generally healthy, because of anger, stress, etc, my physical body was beginning to show signs at 53! After only 3 months after practicing this stuff, I can say, I am reversing the aging process both mentally and physically and I am very excited. I truly believe that we can all heal ourselves without having to rely on doctors for their medicine! I take no medication, not even aspirins or tylenol! Highly recommend if anyone is interested in healing themselves at some level to pick up the book and do the execise.

Universal Healing Tao System,
By
This review is from: Emotional Wisdom: Daily Tools for Transforming Anger, Depression, and Fear (Paperback)
Part I of Emotional Wisdom introduces the basic principles of Taoism (spirit in action) and excerpts from the Tao de Ching for understanding Taoist spiritual wisdom. This understanding is the foundation and springboard from which the author has developed energy practices to transform the negative emotions of anger, depression, and fear. And as we know by now, spiritual enlightenment does not suggest that we ought not to have such emotions, nor that they are inherently "bad" in and of themselves. However, as human development goes it seems that we have a habit of ignoring our painful emotions and stuffing them away, or being reactive instead of response-able with them. When we ignore or stuff unwanted emotions, inevitably they end up lodged in our cells, muscles, organs, and tissues, which over time creates ever-increasing physical issues and lack of well being.
Part II explains the valuable messages contained within these emotions and healthy ways to deal with them, in particular, the practice of what author Mantak Chia calls "The Six Healing Sounds" and "the Inner Smile." Parts III, IV, and V provide comprehensive step-by-step instructions and illustrations for practicing these internal energy healings and Part VI offers nutritional advice for emotional issues and natural remedies for minor ailments. Chia has been teaching these practices, known as The Universal Healing Tao System, for forty-five years and co-author Dena Saxter has been teaching for over twenty-six years. Once learned, the practice takes only twenty minutes a day, and with consistent practice, promises to transform internal imbalances into harmony and joy. Emotional Wisdom brings the essence of ageless wisdom into twenty-first century relevance and application. For those interested in or drawn to Eastern-based philosophy and healing techniques as tools for transformation, I highly recommend this book.
