Editorial Reviews

Review

As one lawyer remarked, 'I came to a conclusion that was eminently reasonable, totally logical and completely wrong because while learning to think I almost forgot how to feel.' To know ourselves we must pay attention to our feelings and listen to our body so we can be guided and live an authentic life. Today most of us seek distractions and numbness and then pay the penalty when our body breaks down. Don't wait for a disaster to awaken you. Read Steve Mensing s Your Emotional Power and learn how to integrate your feelings and become wise and nourish your life. --Bernie Siegel

Creative, clear-headed, and action oriented. --Albert Ellis

"Your Emotional Power will show us that all emotions are powerful allies and friends capable of informing us about what is happening in our lives at any given moment. Often these emotional communications can tell us what alterations we need to make. Yet alas, sometimes we don t listen to their valuable messages or we distort those messages and misinterpret them due to common thought distortions. The techniques in this book will help us access our deeper intuition and clearer thoughts so we can follow our best paths." --Gurpreet Narang

This review is from: Your Emotional Power:Powerful Techniques to Optimize Your Emotions, Behavior, and Beliefs (Paperback)

A valuable message Steve Mensing communicates in Your Emotional Power is to befriend our emotions and find them messengers that offer greater meaning as well as guidance to an enriched and healthier life experience.

The processes are a balance of creative and cognitve techniques that include tips and methods by which the reader can explore emotions and broaden personal horizons. These Emoclear techniques, simple and very powerful, have greatly improved my life, and I make use of them often.

"Your Emotional Power" is a book for those wanting to improve the quality of life in many ways through the dynamics of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. In fact, it is just as much a book for the reader who may currently be avoiding emotions or may have not considered this avenue of exploration yet.

Steve Mensing's writing is friendly and concise, and each chapter elaborates a process or more. Within the chapters, processes are illustrated with the experiences of those who have employed the techniques. Elaboration follows, which is accompanied by suggestions to enhance exploration of emotions and insightful questions to deepen the integration. This book is a toolbox I will return to many times and is definitely one that has become a companion to me.

The directions the processes in this book have taken me have enabled me to experience and make use of my emotions to create and achieve new goals, end an unhealthy relationship, experience unconditional love, and relieve pain and anxiety experienced due to emotional avoidance. My experiences with these processes have also included grieving the death of my father, during which time the integration rather than avoidance of emotions has been an extraordinarily effective way of healing.

I strongly recommend "Your Emotional Power" for positive growth and healing in ways I have found quite rewarding.

This review is from: Your Emotional Power:Powerful Techniques to Optimize Your Emotions, Behavior, and Beliefs (Paperback)

There are many authors out there who offer advice and procedures that fall within the general area of personal growth. Some are abstract and philosophical. Others are highly analytical, being products of behavioral psychology. Others are esoteric to the point of pure superstition. Those who populate the middle of the spectrum tend to be pretty charismatic. Certain people become attracted to Marianne Williamson, Eckhard Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, Tarthang Tulku, Byron Katie, Ken Wilber -- or any of dozens of others -- simply because that particular teacher's personality resonates. Fan clubs are fine, but the more you become a devotee of any particular self help guru, the more you may limit your prospects of growth outside the boundaries of that individual's teachings.

Steve Mensing has extensively studied all of the above and many more experts you probably haven't even heard of. His knowledge of various schools of thought and mental techniques is nothing short of encyclopedic, as you'll discover just by dropping in at the Emoclear website and asking a question or two.

This book is a wonderful synthesis of self-examination tools and practical techniques you can use to undo current hangups, resolve past traumas, and set your course for the future. They're presented clearly in a style that is brisk, fun and friendly (rather than fuzzy, syrupy or pretentious).

This is one self-help book that will help you make the most of the others.

This review is from: Your Emotional Power:Powerful Techniques to Optimize Your Emotions, Behavior, and Beliefs (Paperback)

I've used Emoclear processes from the Internet and found them to be quite valuable. I've been waiting for this book to be released. As I hoped, "Your Emotional Power" is not only informative but is a gentle precise guide to readers on how to achieve balanced emotions, change behaviors and create belief systems that work in their best interests. Those of us familiar with the Emoclear techniques created by Steve Mensing are thrilled the book has come out and is filled with updated and expanded information about processes geared to aid us in reaching goals and well-being.

My personal favorite techniques from "Your Emotional Power" are The Emotional Writing Process, The Belief Repeater, and the Behavior Repatterner. Using these methods, I've moved beyond childhood and adult traumas and no longer create negative scenarios. I've also been able to change distorted beliefs so I see myself and others in healthier ways. I'm able to change my behaviors so they are no longer self-defeating. It's a pleasure to have this guide available. I give it an A+.
