Every one of us, at some time in our lives, has met a genius ? someone who has mastered an intellectual or artistic domain beyond the grasp of others. But there is another form of genius ? a rare brilliance found in those who are both graceful and compassionate under pressure, who face their most difficult feelings with openness and attention, and who have the uncanny ability to transform the temperaments of those around them. What are the keys to these extraordinary gifts? Can anyone learn them? On Emotional Genius, you will learn that all of your emotions ? even your darkest and most difficult feelings ? are carriers of energy and information that have the power to protect and heal you. How to marshall these beneficial forces is the secret of emotional genius. The good news, teaches Karla McLaren, is that anyone can learn to master this life-changing aptitude. With her unique methods, McLaren has helped hundreds of people overcome the persistent cycles that perpetuate depression, anxiety, and other troubling emotional states.

Quiet your mind while you get in touch with your emotions.
This view and explanation of how our emotions affect us personally as people and as healers has been an eye-opener for me. Our society is so focused on the logical brain and rewarded for logical thinking that some people cannot feel anything. They cannot feel their emotions or if they do feel them, they suppress them as wrong or out of control. It is not just the body, mind and spirit we need to balance and count on. It is the body, mind, "emotions" and spirit which will guide us to make healthy choices for our lives. I want to thank Karla for placing one more tool back on our plate.

What a relief!
I've finally learned how to welcome my emotions without feeling the need to suppress or express them in an unhealthy manner. Karla teaches a wonderful technique for creating a santuary within yourself so you can stay in your body instead of becoming numb when circumctances become overwhelming. I really love the part about using anger to burn contracts in order to end difficult relationships and behaviors.

A Gem for those with Open Hearts and Minds
Giving emotions the specialized attention they deserve (a word which oddly applies when emotions are viewed in the way she presents them here), Karla McLaren helps those of us who are emotionally sensitive--and know it!--to manage our feelings and our lives, and to better understand ourselves and others. She helps us tune into the energies of, and messages conveyed by, the individual emotions--including suicidal urges, which are much more manageable and less overpowering when demystified in her unique way.
