  Although I didn't agree with all the philosophies in this book, it has great principles to help facilitate personal journeys of healing. For me it was an answer to prayers in understanding the importance of emotional health and the whole ness it brings when balanced. I love that it encourages healing by yourself and not dependent on anyone. Highly recommend for anyone who has struggled with depression and traditional methods of healing were unsuccessful.

  “If you accept that uncertainty is an inherent part of existence, you will not feel as if you must compulsively guard against lack. Placing your trust in the flow of life, you find yourself provided for. Acceptance of insecurity and uncertainty paradoxically brings about feelings of security and stability.” –John Ruskan, Emotional Clearing
  
  This book is a light for the dark, difficult-to-deal-with parts of myself and my experience through life.

  This was a remarkable read for me.... I read it over about six months at a time I was processing a lot of emotional trauma. I learnt to experience painful emotions fully........ my life changed significantly for the better as I read it... I do not think any other book has helped me free myself so effectively (except Pema Chodron)

  This is the best self help book I have ever read. The author clearly spells out how to use available tools such as breathing, yoga, meditation to work through disturbing or self defeating psychological states. This book, like it says, comprehensively explores and utilizes both eastern and western philosophy to help the reader grow and move through emotional problems and limitations.

  The book provides a four-step process to accept and clear emotions and thus bring personal transformation. The author provided definitions of concepts although I would have liked more examples from people/case studies who benefited through this process.

  I just read parts of this book to see what someone dear to me is interested in these days. He has some interesting ideas. Then it was due back at the library so I returned it.

  Ug, very dry. The idea of this book was very good. I believe we often do need to process our emotions instead of stamping them down. I also believe that emotions can effect us spiritually and physically if we don't process them as needed. However I couldn't get through this book. It was very descriptive and not entertaining. It was written like a text book. I don't recommend this book to anyone unless maybe they are going into counseling.

  This book was a bit dry, however, it is a book to help you identify your feeling and balance your emotional well-being.

  One of the most profound self-help books I have ever read.
  
  I trained with John personally in his 5 step Emotional Clearing Process, and qualified as a Certified Emotional Clearing Facilitator (CECF), because I believed in his amazing, powerful and empowering
  Self-Therapy programme.
  It changed my life and I wanted to help others experience the same cathartic shift.
  
  This book was way before its time, a work that's every bit, if not more important in modern times, way beyond Carl Jung's works.
  
  I use the programmes steps whenever the need arises in my life.

  Couldn't finish it. Made it 54% in. Author was redundant, and the spiritual assumptions were controversial.
  
  Getting home late at night, my anxiety would take off and I would imagine getting killed or kidnapped walking into my house in the dark. (Yes, irrational, but anxiety can be quite dramatic).
  
  According to this book, I found myself thinking "Well, I keep manifesting this in my mind and it will actually happen".
  
  At first, I understood the spiritual relation to manifesting your thoughts. However, he took it to the point of blame. You create angry people, you chose your abusive parents, you got into that car accident because of your negative thoughts".
  
  Too extreme. Would not advise reading this.
