Author Description

This is a book about facing reality with acceptance and compassion. It is about forgiveness of ourselves for wrong turns, forgiveness of others for past hurts, and forgiveness of life for not always doing as we bid. It is about being human. Whether we recognise it or not, loss, in one form or another, is an unavoidable component of being alive. If we do not acknowledge and relinquish our losses, however, they may result in a deep sadness we carry around with us as we age, and which can eventually weigh us down. This new book asserts the presence of a ‘Loss Box’, which sits beneath our ribs in our solar plexus. It is here we bury our numerous losses, starting from childhood. Eventually, the box fills up and the contents start to fester. Our Loss Box becomes toxic. “At a recent workshop, I learned how to test the auras of others, according to their emotions. When the participants were instructed to think of something sad, it became startlingly clear that their energy field had shrunk. Who wants to go around with a reduced or impaired energy field, due to stored sadness or loss? These losses may otherwise be described as disappointment, regret, change, endings, or goodbyes. Whatever we choose to call them, we can easily do something about the impact they have on our wellbeing,” says author Judy. The Loss Box is a self-help book that will help those struggling with loss and unresolved emotional pain.
