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.

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.

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+.

Steve Mensing's book "Your Emotional Power" is a classic guidebook to emotional well-being. I love this book, and it's been a great help to me. Written simply, with authenticity, and from the heart, "Your Emotional Power" is accessible for both laypersons and professionals new to Steve's globally famous Emoclear techniques.

"Your Emotional Power" succeeds in being helpful in learning to enjoy life from the vantage point of clear emotions, self-enhancing behaviors, and reasonable thinking. In the intial chapter, Steve explains the value of experiencing and accepting emotions and feelings rather than avoiding them or trying to get rid of them. Next, the book provides powerful techniques like the Emotional and Heartbeat Integrators to capable of quickly reducing an emotion's intensity, duration, and attention holding capability. These powerful, yet comfortable integrative techniques are based on research validated exposure and desensitization. Research has concluded that emotional writing such as Steve's Emotional Writing Process helps reduce the impact of highly charged events, and I've certainly found this process to be priceless. For overwhelming traumas and phobias, there is the Event Reviewer - which I find leads to the acceptance of difficult memories and events.

"Your Emotional Power" progresses into The Creator and the Goal Maker, exercises by which we can envision and then create a desired future. There is a wonderful chapter on changing distorted beliefs that provides us ways to identify and change beliefs that provides us ways to identify and change beliefs that are not serving us well. The Belief Repeater exercise is a godsend in turning off distorted and self-defeating beliefs. The chapter on taking action is incredibly helpful in overcoming stuckness and moving forward, out of emotional paralysis, procrastingation, and depression -- for example -- and into a brighter active life. I've found the Behavior Repatterner very useful to end repeated behaviors that don't serve me well, so that my actions are based on clear choices that are for my betterment. It's amazing how so much help is available to achieve wellness in one book that is organized in clear sections to address your needs and goals. The book's chapter sequence builds on each previous sequence and is a well thought out course. I believe this book is destined to become a classic in self-help literature.

This book is based on the famous Emoclear techniques created by Steve Mensing. Emoclear comes from the words "clear emotions." The simple and powerful processes for clearing unwanted emotions are based on mindfulness, modern exposure methods, and ageless integration techniques made more comfortable. Modern behavioral repatterners and visualization techniques are also included. The methods cover every specific need and are freely posted on Steve's Emoclear site.

So why the need for a book? 'Your Emotional Power' both explains the need for the approach and presents a carefully thought out action plan, with the techniques in their ideal sequence. It also contains the combined wisdom and experience of both Steve and the worldwide Emoclear community. Far more than just presenting the techniques, this book for the first time explains exactly why and how to use them, with a tremendous ampount of helpful practical advice. You will discover a treasure trove of cutting edge and highly effective methods for mastering even your most powerful and negative emotional states and befriending them.

I personally endorse this method. I've found that Emoclear works well in the field of therapy but also it works for oneself, in the direction of personal growth: a reasonably stable person can apply these processes, without a practitioner, and they will serve to integrate body and mind in a way that provides a degree of clarity and integrity that is far beyond the normal. This book provides the map and the compass.
