"At this crucial time when the world needs clarity and wisdom,
Detox Your Heart calls us to our power, offering guidance in
letting go and befriending our world from the inside out. Valerie
Mason-John's words spring from the heart and ring with unmistakable
grace and genuineness."--Ruth King, author of Healing Rage
"In Detox Your Heart Valerie Mason-John, a poetic and humane writer
helps us to creatively engage with our difficult emotions. This is
a thoughtful, kind, and exploratory manual, which gives precise
practical advice. It is essential reading for people who do not
want to fight or ignore difficult emotions but who long for a way
to understand and work with them. What struck me was the gentleness
combined with the directness of her approach. As Mason-John has
used these techniques herself and also with her clients, the
descriptions come alive and with great vividness."--Martine
Batchelor, author of Let Go: A Buddhist Guide to Breaking Free of
Habits
