About the Book
Emptiness. Guilt. Shame. Disillusionment. These painful feelings have become all too common in our world--familiar companions--suffered by millions as they unwittingly accept the silent obligation to lead an unfulfilling life. Speaking about them has somehow become taboo, and changing them even more so.
Transformation has been relegated to the realm of religious fanaticism and new age fluff. So much so that the ordinary physical, mental and emotional transformations we all experience have somehow been separated from "greater than me" events and reduced in importance to the point that they become lost in the flurry of everyday living before we ever get the chance to incorporate them into our lives permanently.
This highly practical guide offers readers a candid examination of all aspects of transformation -- mundane and spiritual. In it, the authors offer a straightforward workbook for all forms of change -- conscious, measurable, lasting change that improves various aspects of life, reduces the burdens we carry (willingly or otherwise), and frees us to live the best life we can -- a life worth living.
The book is structured to focus on one transformation at a time. Each chapter limits itself in this way, allowing you to learn, practice and master key techniques to focus your thoughts and shift your actions toward a new design for living; drawing reality into alignment with your deepest desires and expanding your horizons in a limitless way.
Guest Post by Author Debra Meehl
Many of us spend our entire lives running from feeling, believing that we cannot bear the pain or shame or suffering we encounter. But the immortal diamond at your core is only refined through the heat and pressure of both pain and pleasure. Joyful Transformation is about practical skills (like distress tolerance and emotion regulation) you can use in everyday life to help you move through the pain; fully experience the pleasure; connect and unite with, heal and embrace your true self; and thereby create a life that is truly worth living.
There is always a way to step into divine flow based upon the emotion you are feeling at any given moment. But you must be able to tolerate and modulate that emotional response in order to fully stabilize your divine connection. This is where distress tolerance becomes invaluably essential.
Harmonizing your spiritual essence with your human being-ness is the truest form of authenticity, and is key to living in consistent alignment with your divinely inspired purpose. Once we raise our threshold to tolerate distress and learn the skills to quiet our minds, then we can truly connect to all that is and live – each and every moment – within the divine flow of life.
You will learn all of this and more in Joyful Transformation, as Debra Meehl guides through practical and easy-to-master skills that help you:
• Tolerate your humanness and that of others
• Contend with all of your very human emotions, attachments, desires, and imperfections
• Make the shift toward a lifestyle of divine joy, even in the midst of human suffering
• Fully embrace your divine purpose and honor your spiritual origins
