Mind Clearing: The Key to Mindfulness Mastery

by Alice Whieldon, Lawrence Noyes (Foreword by)

Overview

Mind Clearing (MC) builds on mindfulness approaches, with the ultimate aim of reducing suffering caused by mental, emotional, relationship and spiritual distress, through clearing the mind. This book offers a fresh approach for mental and physical health practitioners wishing to expand their practice and for individuals wanting to improve health and happiness at a fundamental level.

The first book to explore Mind Clearing within the context of modern practice, this book looks at its origins, key principles and interpretations to aid understanding of the approach. With examples from practice and clear guidelines on the 'Do's and Don'ts' of Mind Clearing, practitioners and individuals will feel confident in carrying out the approach, and will learn to communicate effectively by dissolving the mind and the projections and fixed attitudes that it represents.

Editorial Reviews

Alice's ambitious undertaking in her book Mind Clearing has clearly made the complex simple. Writing with insight and eloquence, she has successfully integrated the intentions of both Berner's and Noyes' lives' work. She sets the stage for clarity and transformation to free the minds who read this book.

Meranda Squires

An erudite, fascinating and intelligent appraisal of a therapeutic practice which is a logical next step for Mindfulness mastery. Drawing on her own extensive experience, Alice describes eloquently not only what she has learnt from her mistakes, but the potency of this set of techniques to help people take charge of their mind and not be controlled by it.

Dr Eva Maria Chapman

This is an excellent exposition of a very powerful set of techniques for freeing oneself from unwelcome aspects of one's mind. The book's explanations are sufficient for practitioners from other backgrounds to start to use some of the techniques for themselves.

Prof Jake Chapman

This book brings a broader and deeper understanding of the psychological, philosophical and spiritual aspects of Charles Berner's work and is a significant contribution to the further development of practice and for the professional recognition of Mind Clearing. I give my compliments to and have full respect for Alice's work.
