If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 We all go wrong somewhere along the way... Everyone makes mistakes. We all need forgiveness. We all need to be able to forgive others. And, perhaps even more difficult, we need to learn to forgive ourselves. The good news is that God offers hope for our burdened state! His grace is unconditional, and he has made a way for us to be not only cleansed but renewed. But forgiveness is something we must in order to receive. All we have to do is ask, and God is ready to forgive us and lead us into abundant life. As we learn to embrace the forgiveness so freely given to us, we will be moved to freely offer forgiveness to those around us. Are you ready to know about forgiveness and embrace it your own life?

Born and raised in Romania, Eva Adam, moved to Norway in 1993 and married her Norwegian husband, Leiv. Together with him and their son, Leif, Eva had the perfect family life, until the past managed to hunt her down. Going through a major shift, battling with her memories of sexual and physical abuse back in Romania, Eva's body and mind started to break down, and she became sick and depressed. Motivated to learn how to change her health issue, Eva started to learn to heal herself practicing Reiki healing, shamanic healing, and meditation. She traveled to many places, attending many courses in Norway, Sweden, India, and the US, hoping one day she'll feel better. But her healing started the day she started to forgive. Working with the teachings of "A Course in Miracles" helped Eva to close the gap of separation between her and God, between her and persons she believed did her wrong. She understood all she had to do in order to change her own life was to forgive all of them, including herself. Understanding that she could "create or re-create" her life every day, Eva managed to change her thoughts and break the circle of her ancestors. Guided by God's words in her daily life, Eva finally changed her life. Good luck to you. I love you. Be blessed.

Guilt & shame are twin demons from the past, which can trouble any of us. However, in guilt, one is also susceptible to shame. The frail boundary between “I did something wrong” & “I am wrong” dissolves and hence, makes guilt a more challenging emotion to handle. Guilt distorts our reality and causes turbulence in our minds, wreaks havoc on our thoughts and emotions. It is a karma trap which can imprison anyone for entire life. It undermines our health, behavior, & relationships. The standard approaches like “let go,” “move on,” “substitution,” & “don't think about it” worsen our condition as we try hard to bypass our suffering. Suppressing or substituting our thoughts, emotions, & feelings creates more pain. Embracing guilt is an invitation to heal against guilt. The book is aimed to understand guilt, dispel myths, explore beliefs, and ground the reader to the path of self-forgiveness and self-love through one's vulnerabilities. Embracing guilt allows us to think any kind of thoughts, stories, and reasonings about the past,without any resistance in the present moment. Embracing reduces the additional suffering which one experiences by living in denial or resisting the suffering as an integral part of life. Further, we move deeper into embracing guilt by availing the present to transform guilt into self-forgiveness and self-love. Embracing Guilt allows our hearts and minds to be touched by forgiveness & love through our vulnerabilities.

I invite you to step into a realm where the intricate dance of human emotions meets the art of strategic conflict resolution in “Checkmate Narcissist.” This compelling guide invites you to unravel the enigmatic behaviors of narcissists, whose manipulative tactics resemble the deft sleight of the hand of a master magician. Building upon the foundational insights and analyses of the narcissistic manipulative techniques, specifically gaslighting, neglect, isolation, blame-shifting, and the like, described in the previous book “Sleeping With a Narcissist,” this book explores the principles of emotional aikido to confront and counter-manipulate a narcissist. Narcissists are often likened to skilled magicians, their manipulative tactics being the sleight of hand that distracts, distorts, and ultimately deceives. Understanding these tactics empowers you to recognize and counteract them effectively. Confronting and counter-attacking narcissistic behavior requires a strategic approach grounded in psychological Aikido principles. Outplaying narcissists in conflict does not mean defeating them in a traditional sense; rather, it involves skillfully navigating the interaction to maintain your integrity and emotional well-being. The essence of “emotional aikido” is that a person does not openly oppose his/her opponent but mirrors and redirects an opponent's energy rather than confront it head-on. Narcissists thrive on emotional reactions. By staying calm and composed, you can prevent them from gaining power over you. By increasing your emotional intelligence and employing techniques of emotional Aikido that redirect, reflect, and assert, you can effectively manage conflicts, counter-manipulate, stand your ground, and avoid escalation. Breaking a narcissist's script in conflict resolution requires strategic communication techniques and a strong understanding of narcissistic behavior. Narcissists often rely on certain predictable patterns, i.e. scripts, they use to manipulate, deflect, or dominate conversations. By disrupting these scripts, you can regain control of the dialogue and foster more constructive outcomes. We will also speak about “conditioning” as a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology that explains how behaviors and reactions are learned. The book illustrates how behaviors can be acquired, maintained, and further modified. In this exploration, the principles of psychological Aikido provide valuable insights into human behavior. Self-awareness involves recognizing your own emotions and their effects; self-regulation relates to managing or redirecting disruptive emotions and impulses. In conflicts, particularly those involving manipulative individuals like narcissists, emotional aikido is your greatest ally. By leveraging emotional regulation skills, you can maintain control over both the situation and your emotional state, preventing the narcissist from destabilizing you. In stressful situations, we may forget our original intentions. Our instincts drive us, altering our goals. The inability to manage ourselves comes at a high cost in both business and personal lives. Aikido emphasizes maintaining one's center and composure, even in the face of aggression. In conflict situations, remaining calm can help de-escalate tensions. “Emotional aikido” underscores the vital importance of maintaining one’s center amidst the storm. Through practical techniques and mindfulness practices, you will learn to cultivate an unwavering calm, allowing you to respond with clarity rather than react with impulse. This centeredness not only de-escalates tensions but also enhances your capacity for thoughtful engagement, even in the most heated disputes. In Aikido, one of the fundamental skills is the ability to redirect an opponent's energy. Join us on this transformative journey to reclaim your power in the face of narcissistic manipulation.
