If you DENY the emotion,
or PROJECT the emotion onto another person,
or if you EAT to numb the emotion,
or if you DRINK to hide the emotion,
or if you SMOKE to avoid the emotion,
or if you use SEX to numb the emotion,
or if you GAMBLE to avoid the emotion,
or if you WORK EXCESSIVELY to hide the emotion,
or if you spend all your time on the phone, watching TV or on the INTERNET to avoid the emotion,
.......THEN.........
you never get the chance to be in the emotion.

So if your life is running in cycles and you keep bumping up against the same "stuff", ask yourself these two life transforming questions:

1. What am I using to cover up my emotions?
2. What do I need to feel in order to heal?

On the other side of every breakdown is a breakthrough. It's not that we don't want to change but rather we are afraid to break down. Just let go and let God work his magic. FEEL the emotion that is there. You are designed to feel your emotions, as they are exquisitly designed to guide you to all you need to know. As you experience the emotion, you may be uncomfortable to say the least. But it's worth it. You can take consolation in knowing that there is a miracle taking place... and it is waiting for you on the other side.

You only have one life to live - make it the best one.

Daring to be Yourself The aim of this book is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities which set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture. This 264-page paperback book is like a "best of" the trans4mind site - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and reveal your full potential with this step-by-step approach. Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links. "I realize many people use praise in ways that sound frivolous...but I must tell you that your book has changed my life AND I mean that in all ways. I found the entire work wonderfully upbeat, readable and valuable! It really was quite a wakeup call. In the midst of my "trials and tribulations" I had failed to be "me." Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA
