Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Darkness has been cast as the enemy for most of Western history.The shadow to banish, the night to survive, the evil set against the good. The oldest mystics knew the opposite. They knew the dark was where everything begins. The Book of the Dark recovers a single idea that institutional religion suppressed but never erased: that the ground from which everything comes is itself dark, unmanifest and generative, and that light is its firstborn rather than its opposite. Kabbalah called it Ein Sof, the boundless. Eckhart and Pseudo-Dionysius wrote of a divine darkness brighter than any light. Boehme named it the Ungrund. The institutions that followed spent centuries teaching us to fear it. If you have ever sat with another person in their darkness, or walked through your own, and sensed that the dark was not only something to survive but something to learn from, this book was written for you. The Book of the Dark is the work of a dark walker: the one who enters another person's darkness, carries some of its weight, and comes back able to help. Across twenty-seven chapters and eight parts, it traces sacred darkness through the whole history of religion as one continuous argument that the dark is where transformation happens. What this book covers: Part One, Entering the Dark: the dark walker and the sacred shadow, and the dark gods met directly, Inanna, Set, Hekate, Lilith and Kali. Part Two, Darkness as Sacred Cosmology: the creation cosmologies that placed darkness before the first light, the void and the abyss as fullness, and the Egyptian underworld as the womb of rebirth. Part Three, Initiatory Darkness, Suppression, and Preservation: darkness as the crucible of initiation, the institutions that erased it, and where it survived, in Kabbalah, Christian apophatic mysticism, Sufism and the Gnostic streams. Part Four, The Esoteric Inheritance: the dark thread through Hermetic philosophy, the mystery schools, and African and diaspora traditions. Part Five, The Reversed Current: the reversals of Tantra, the vipareeta marga and the left-hand path of Vamachara, Aghori and Choed. Part Six, Entities, Encounters, and Transmutation: sin eaters and psychic custodians, spirits and entities, the entheogenic threshold, and the far dark of the near-death experience. Part Seven, Magical Currents and Modern Frames: the occult revival, the alchemical nigredo, the physics of the void. Part Eight, Integration and the Dark Walker's Path: the wounded healer and the false binary, how to integrate the dark without collapsing into it. Who this book is for: Counsellors, coaches, guides and trip-sitters who sit with others in the deep places.Therapists, spiritual directors, and those who walk with people through grief, crisis and the end of life.Readers in their own dark night or descent who want a map that explains the territory rather than pathologising them.Students of mysticism and comparative religion drawn to Kabbalah, Sufism, the Christian dark night, Tantra and alchemy.Shadow-work and depth-psychology readers in the lineage of Jung who want the esoteric roots, not only the psychology.This is not a book about fearing the dark. It is a book about coming to belong to it. Dr Rory Brown is a transpersonal counsellor, coach, trip-sitter and guide, and a dark walker, with a doctorate in transpersonal counselling taken within a metaphysics programme. He is the author of Experience First, The Book of Thresholds, and the Healing Through Awakening volumes, and he lives and writes by the sea.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Recovery is not what most books describe. Stopping is not the work. The road back is.Volume 2 of Healing Through Awakening picks up where Volume 1 closed: at the border between the inner world and the outer one. The Road Back and the Gift Returned is for the longest part of the journey, the part that most recovery literature either skips or treats as an afterthought. Where Volume 1 mapped the descent and the atlas of suffering, Volume 2 walks the territories that recovery must confront in daily life, and the gift the hero carries forward when the worst is over.Part IV, The Territories of the Road Back, opens with adverse childhood experiences and the developmental roots of suffering, then moves through the conditions that pull returning lives back into collapse: shame, the silent gravity that operates beneath every relapse; PTSD and dissociation; grief and loss; anger and the cost of its suppression; addiction understood through its own peculiar alchemy of reward and deprivation; behavioural addictions and the digital cage; eating disorders; relapse read as information rather than failure; family dynamics; neurodivergence and chronic pain; burnout and compassion fatigue; the body's atlas of manifestation; and the territory where pain seeks an exit, approached with the steadiness and care it demands.Part V, The Gift Returned, is the final movement of the hero's journey. It asks what happens after recovery, not as an ending but as a beginning. The web of care that sustains long-term wellbeing. The trauma-informed architecture that communities and systems need to build. The medicines of mind and spirit, including the emerging psychedelic research that is reopening questions the field thought it had closed. The policy and cultural shifts that would make recovery accessible rather than exceptional. The practices of transformation that keep the work alive over years and decades. And the practitioner themselves: what it means to become the hero-healer, to live the circle, and to carry the gift to those still on the road.The two pillars of the work, transpersonal awakening and the Critical Circles coaching methodology with its HERO cycle of Hold, Encounter, Reflect, and Orient, continue to hold the structure in place. The voices that informed Volume 1 are joined here by trauma research, somatic practice, contemplative psychology, and the frontier of integrative recovery science.Volume 2 is written for: - Recovery coaches and practitioners working with the long arc of return.- Individuals in recovery who have stabilised and are now asking what comes next.- Families and supporters standing alongside the slow rebuilding.- Clinicians, researchers, and policy thinkers engaging with the future of recovery and mental health.The road back is real territory. So is the gift. These pages map both.Volume 1, The Descent, the Map, and the Atlas, is the companion to this book.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Most learning programmes do not produce lasting behaviour change. The research has been saying this for decades. The gap is not a facilitation problem. It is a design problem, and it starts long before anyone enters the room.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Most learning programmes do not produce lasting behaviour change. The research has been saying this for decades. The gap is not a facilitation problem. It is a design problem, and it starts long before anyone enters the room. If you have spent years designing or delivering learning and sensed that the work could reach further than it does, this book was written for you. Experience First is the formalisation of a methodology built across thirty years in rooms where adults were being asked to change. It names the mechanisms that make experiential learning transformational, and shows practitioners how to design for genuine behaviour change rather than knowledge transfer. What this book covers: Across fifteen chapters and six parts, Experience First moves from diagnosis to design to delivery to transfer, building a complete practitioner framework grounded in evidence and tested in practice. Part One names the problem: why the majority of formal learning fails to produce durable change, and why the transmission model persists despite decades of evidence against it. Part Two establishes the theoretical framework: Spiral Dynamics as a developmental map, the neuroscience of how the brain actually changes, and Jung's depth psychology as the foundation for understanding what genuine development asks of the learner. Part Three describes the design architecture: performance consulting, backwards design from reframes, method selection, and the art of productive disruption. Part Four addresses the facilitator: the conditions-creator role, deep listening, and why technique without self-knowledge will always fall short. Part Five tackles transfer: the thirty-, sixty-, ninety-day question that most programmes never ask, and the ecosystem that determines whether learning survives re-entry into the workplace. Part Six asks what this work demands of the practitioner who holds it. Who this book is for: Learning and development practitioners who sense the work could be more consequential. Commissioning leaders tired of programmes that produce positive evaluations and no observable change. Facilitators who have felt, in their best moments, that the room contained something more than they could reach with the tools they had been given. And anyone who believes that the experiential age is not coming but is already here. This is not a training manual. Neither a collection of activities. A complete framework for designing learning that changes how people think, decide, and act. Dr Rory Brown holds a PhD in human behaviour and change processes, has over thirty years of experience across financial services, mining, consulting, and international markets, and is the founder of Createlings.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is a moment in every life that breaks the world apart. A call that cannot be refused. A descent that cannot be argued with. And, for the fortunate, a road that begins to lead back.Healing Through Awakening is an integrated framework for what happens when addiction, mental illness, and trauma collide in a human life, and for accompanying the long return that follows. Volume 1, The Descent, the Map, and the Atlas, sets the foundation. Built on the spine of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey and animated by Dr Rory Brown's Critical Circles Recovery Coaching methodology, it traces the territory most recovery literature treats as preamble: the cracking open of an ordinary world, the methodology that gives shape to transformation, and the atlas of anxiety, depression, collapse, and renewal that every recovering mind must learn to read.Part I, The Call into Darkness, names the descent honestly. Not as pathology, but as the pattern that has always preceded transformation, from myth to medicine to the lived experience of those who have walked through addiction and mental health crisis.Part II, The Circle and the Spiral, introduces the Critical Circles framework and the HERO cycle of Hold, Encounter, Reflect, and Orient. Readers meet the archetypes that populate every recovery story: the hero in many faces, the shapeshifter, the shadowed companions who carry what the conscious self cannot yet own, and the wellness archetypes waiting on the other side of integration.Part III, The Atlas of Suffering and Renewal, maps the inner world condition by condition. Anxiety. Depression. The psychology of collapse. The spectrum along which every mind lives. The five domains of vulnerability. The role of medication, and the deeper role of meaning. The Return Curve in five movements, traced through embodiment, connection, meaning, boundary, and the weaving of a coherent self.Drawing on Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, Carl Jung, Caroline Myss, David Hawkins, Brene Brown, and a wide bench of neuroscience, depth psychology, and recovery science, the work holds the clinical and the sacred in the same hand. It is rigorous enough for the practitioner, humane enough for the person in early recovery, and honest enough for the family member who has watched the light drain from someone they love.Volume 1 speaks to: Recovery coaches and practitioners seeking a framework that honours skill and soul.Individuals in recovery searching for more than abstinence.Families and supporters trying to understand what lies beneath the surface.Students, clinicians, and researchers at the intersection of addiction science, clinical psychology, and trauma-informed care.This is not a memoir, though it carries the author's lived experience of addiction and recovery. It is not a clinical manual, though it draws on the frontier of the science. It is an integration: the meeting place where neuroscience, depth psychology, mythology, and the daily practice of accompanying another human being through suffering converge.Volume 2, The Road Back and the Gift Returned, completes the journey.
