From Turmoil to Tranquility: A Step-By-Step Guide to Total Emotional Freedom

Recently, neuroscientists discovered an innate mechanism in a part of the brain called the amygdala that actually dissolves emotional trauma - if you let it. The actual breakup of old emotional memories can be clearly seen with a sophisticated brain imaging technique called functional Magnetic Resource Imaging (fMRI). So, why isn't this process - the process of homeostasis in which all things tend to return to a state of health and well being - why isn't it working for you and other Americans, 48% of whom will experience a major emotional disorder at some time in their lives? Why, as only 5% of the world's population do we consume 50% of its cocaine? Why, despite 40 million prescriptions for psychotropic medications is the suicide rate not declining? It is related to some of the basic beliefs underpinning industrial societies, beliefs that begain 500 years ago with Sir Isaac Newton, but have been proven incorrect by discoveries in quantum physics in the last 30 years. Primary among these beliefs is the idea that we are supposed to be in control and that if we think long enough, hard enough and rationally enough, we can solve our problems. From Turmoil to Tranquility describes why these beliefs are in error, why thinking about your issues will not cure emotional distress any more than studying a specific germ will cure your cold. It explains why most of our treatments for emotional disorders don't work, why psychotropic medication is more often than not counterproductive, how our emotions try to heal themselves and how we inadvertently prevent them from doing so. From Turmoil to Tranquility also explains how our life crises are related to emotional distress and provides detailed step-by-step procedures on how to stop trying to control our emotions and let mother nature do the job she was meant to do.
