This workbook grew out of the practices assigned for self-growth and development for (1) Holistic Health: Western Perspectives, a course at San Francisco State Uni versity; (2) clients and participants at the Biofeedback and Family Therapy Institute in Berkeley; and (3) participants in peak performance training programs. The goals of this workbook are to offer experiences to facilitate life-long learning of skills to enhance health and growth. We hope the reader will experience increased autonomy and gain self-mastery skills through exercises that foster awareness and control. The cascading program is based upon uncovering, allowing, and encouraging the intrinsic drive toward integration, wholeness, and health. Each year many of our students report that practicing these skills has affected them deeply. The program offered them prag matic skills to master stress, set goals, and experience a deep change in their worldview and health. A number of them have said that this was the most useful course they had taken at San Francisco State University. The materials presented here are part of a course offered by the Institute for Holistic Healing Studies. It is also a requirement for a Holistic Health Minor and fulfills a part of the general education requirement for integrated and interdisci plinary learning. The development of this program at San Francisco State Uni versity is due to the foresight and courage of George Araki, Ph.D.

Feeling defeated? Lost as to what steps to take next in your life and career? Leave behind society's false ideas about how to achieve self-worth and success, and begin reclaiming your life. Wholeness Within will help you shift your perception, integrate your past, and accept yourself. A spiritual guidebook for the modern woman stepping into the unknown, Wholeness Within follows author and spiritual career coach Emily Smith on her journey from fear and victimhood to rapturous self-acceptance. Throughout, Emily shares her personal experiences of battling grief, burnout, anxiety, career dissatisfaction, addiction, and depression, which ultimately led her to a personal rebuilding and the development of a breakthrough coaching method that can help women everywhere shed negative self-images, create a career they actually love, and reclaim their narratives. In her twenties, Emily lived an alluring life that looked victorious on the outside. She worked in the corporate world, living in London and New York City, and had a stimulating social life. On the inside, she felt numb. She lost herself in relationships, alcohol, partying, and work. But after a cataclysmic event upended her life and cracked her heart open, Emily knew that in order to move forward she would have to find her way back to herself and figure out how to heal. What she didn't realize then was that she would have to come to terms with her past, trust in an unseen force to guide her, and revolutionize her entire belief system. Part memoir and part step-by-step guide, Wholeness Within is a framework for learning to trust and respect yourself, your intuition, and your emotions. With Emily's guidance, begin building an awareness of the energy around you, learn how to overcome mindset blocks, and take the steps toward aligning your authentic life and career. It only becomes possible to transform your life when you transform your perception of yourself. You have the power to cultivate wholeness within; you just need to wake up to it.

-- Provides a comprehensive program which helps readers understand and change destructive patterns in their lives. -- Insightful and invaluable resource for the general public as well as for counselors and therapists. -- Goes beyond traditional self-help books to help readers reconnect with their core self and heal past wounds. Unlike most other publications offering simplistic solutions to personal struggle, Dr. Roden's book helps the reader deal with and heal core issues. He describes the many ways we become wounded, how we adapt to protect ourselves and how that adaptation affects every aspect of our lives. Journey to Wholeness shows how to heal the core self, find wholeness and happiness, break free from the chains of the past, and live an empowered life.

Wholeness is about removing invisible boundaries from our lives that keep us from realizing our highest potential. In order to live an outer life without limits, we have to uncover and address the inner limitations that hide in our blind spots. This life-changing book explains that regardless of where you are in life, Wholeness will take you higher. Wholeness will elevate your sense of fulfillment in life, produce healthier, more rewarding relationships, and will position you for optimum success in every endeavor. International thought leader and pastor Touré Roberts explains we can't always choose the experiences that keep us from being whole, but we can take control of our lives today and bring healing to any broken area. Key chapters include an in-depth relationship guide titled "Two Halves Don't Make a Whole." "The Cracked Mirror" shows how unprocessed experiences can negatively shape our view of self, others, and the world around us. "Ghosts of the Past" gives powerful, practical tools for avoiding the traps of the past and ensuring that we enter into the amazing future that God has planned for us. Wholeness is filled with wisdom garnered from Touré's own life--raised by a single mom, narrowly escaping the trappings of inner-city life, and finding success in corporate America. His insight is further broadened by his role as founder of one of the most influential churches in the nation, with over fourteen years pastoring thousands of millennials, couples, families, and a diverse group of individuals. Wholeness will take you on a transformational journey that won't leave you the same. Concluding with a "Wholeness Test," Wholeness will help you track and maintain your progress while walking out your journey to your full potential.
