Product Description
The causal point of the things that occur in our everyday experience isn t in the actions of others, but within each of us. During our early years, we are imprinted by the emotional condition of those responsible for us. Their emotional state overlays the essence of who we are, so that we learn to behave like them instead of growing up to be ourselves.
In Alchemy of the Heart, we are asked to become conscious of the ways we were imprinted and how these imprints drive our behavior. Our guide in achieving this is the heart and the language of felt-perception. Through this language, the heart enables us to re-parent ourselves and frees us to love unconditionally.
This journey is about allowing ourselves to feel life--to be present and awake in each moment, so that we really experience everything. It is the chance to participate actively, responsibly, and creatively in our lives.

Like "The Presence Process" this is an incredible book. Actually with M.Brown's work my search for existential sense is over. Just listen to his (totally free!) audios at http://www.thepresenceportal.com/
read and stirAugust 10, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Be prepared for subtle and not so subtle changes in your perceptions if you decide to read this book. You won't have to think about it; just reading this book seems to be enough to stir your mind's veil aside and glimpse reality. Once you get a glimpse, everything is changed.
"Real eyes" this work is the "real deal"July 29, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A great book to read as a intro before going to The Presence Process. After just being at a weekend workshop with Michael, there is no doubt of his intent, wisdom and heart. Being in the 7th session of the process, I am blown away at how I am feeling, what occurrences continue to deepen and expand my awareness. Most incredibly I am coming to a place of self love and acceptance that I have only heard others speak of and believe you me, I have studied and read much, seen countless spiritual/new age teacher/gurus and practiced many modalities of self healing....but this (and this is a very big BUT)....this is the "how to of all how to's" and I am ever so grateful for all the work Michael has done to bring it together in the way that he did. I am truly beginning to feel the liberation of all my past negative conditioning. Yeah!! So give it a go, use this wonderful tool to self facilitating your way back home...to YOU!!
Our Journey Alone TogetherJuly 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Michael Brown offers a way of approaching the suffering that we experience from our emotions. After reading much of Thich Nhat Hanh's work, this "Western" approach is quite compatible with the principles of Buddhist psychology. I find the method to be a very practical and helpful tool for helping myself.
A Jewel BoxMay 2, 2008 22 out of 23 found this review helpful
As a stand alone or a companion to Michael Brown's "The Presence Process," this book is a jewel box of precious gems. "The Presence Process" is as important a discovery as Genpo Roshi's Big Mind, and if Ken Wilber is the Einstein of consciousness, Michael Brown is the Einstein of emotional body awareness. "Alchemy of the Heart" provides substantial inner nutrition for anyone undertaking the destinationless journey of Self discovery.
