Review
from Concepts You are what you eat! Is a familiar phrase to many of us? A similar concept introduced in this book is: What you think becomes your experience. This is the theme of Joanne Rodasta's new book, Take Moment and Create Your Life! Rodasta explains the very real existence of a body system that designs and creates experiences much as our other body systems regulate breathing and good digestion. Rodasta presents a very easy to read and understand process of learning to identify and transform fears that translate to beliefs and life experiences. Each chapter includes exercises and journal tips for the reader to immediately begin pinpointing challenging areas. According to Ms. Rodasta, now we can create experiences based on desire rather than fear, since focusing on what we fear creates what we fear. She has given readers the tools needed to learn to create the experiences they truly desire. Do something good for yourself and "take a moment" to look for this book at your local bookseller. --
Book Descriptionfrom Mensa Bulletin, Oct. 1998, "recommended reading" Norman Vincent Peale said it many years ago in his book The Power of Positive Thinking, "This is a goal-driven book that takes you from thinking and believing to experiencing, and helps you identify your conscious and subconscious thoughts and transform your negative beliefs into positive ones." This book has lots of positive examples and concepts, as evidenced by some of the chapter titles: "You Are the Architect of Your Life," "You Are Your Own Genius," and "Making Dreams a Reality." --
Book Descriptionfrom the Northern Sun, "highly recommended" What you eat becomes your body, and what you think becomes your experience. This is the theme of Joanne Rodasta's new book, Take a Moment and Create Your Life! Rodasta explains the thought-experience connection by presenting credible evidence that each of us comes equipped with a "creative system" that turns thoughts, even subconscious thoughts, into experiences, much like a digestive system turns food into tissue. Take a Moment leads the reader on a tour of his creative system and allows him to see the steps it took to create the events of his life. Included in the tour is a description of what a creative system needs to produce positive experiences and a list of symptoms a creative system might send to warn when it is forming a negative experience. She challenges the reader to create experiences based on desire rather than fear. This is a must-read for those of us interested in creating lives of wellness. Tools for doing this are provided in this highly recommended book. --
Book Description
From the Author
This book teaches the Life-Creating process. It is based on the principles that we come equipped with a system that creates our everyday experiences and that our job is to allow this system to create experiences which make us happy and safe. Life-Creating is intended to change the way you live your life. Instead of reacting or dealing with whatever life throws your way, Life-Creating allows you to decide what you really want to have and to create it. This has fantastic ramifications. No matter what is happening in your life, if you do not like it, you can change it! If your family or workplace is malfunctioning, you can impact a change. If you have habits or experiences you do not wish to have any longer, you can change them too. Life-Creating , as a process, really began to take form while I was in therapy. My therapist at the time was striving to help me deal with a painful experience which was causing me to feel depressed and confused. Her solution was to have me see the situation from a different point of view which was supposed to change how I felt about it. To me, this seemed convoluted. If the situation was causing me pain, the idea ought to have been to change that situation, rather than simply how I felt about it. Once the situation changed, I should have expected the feelings to change. As a result, I became very interested in the reason why we have emotions. I began wondering if they had a valid purpose in our lives, and if they did, what was it. The more I explored, the more I understood that our emotions are signals letting us know what our ego thinks of what is happening in our lives. Negative emotions are red alerts, and positive emotions are green lights. Further experimentation led me to realize that anytime we ignore a negative emotion, we ignore a warning. This naturally led me to wonder: About what do our emotions warn us? From here, I began experimenting with my hypothesis that our emotions are trying to tell us to change what we create, implying, of course, that we do create our reality, and that we can change what we create. My work with Mintanyo brought further enlightenment. Mintanyo taught me how thought becomes energy which then becomes matter. He showed me how my ego functions together with my energy as a system to create all my experiences. This system I named the creative system, for that is its function. He also showed me how my emotions are my creative system's warning device. Thus, when my creative system sends me a negative emotion, it does so because it expects me to do something about whatever it is that I have created. What that something is is the meat of Life-Creating . Life-Creating will show you what to do to change your negative experiences, and, in the process, it will explain to you why it works. If you follow the steps of Life-Creating , you will experience positive changes in any area of your life with which you work. Once you grasp your powerful ability to create whatever you want in your life, you will see that there really is no reason to suffer the experiences life sends you when all you have to do is take a moment and create the experiences you really want.
