An anxious mind is a living mind. It is not only a brain that thinks (and overthinks), it is also the echoing voice of a heart that truly cares. What if... Anxiety can be transmuted into a force of extraordinary personal power? What if... Anxiety has been secretly training you to become an amazing manifestor? What if... You could accept yourself right now, exactly as you are, and start creating the life you truly want? What would you do next? Learning to listen to those inner experiences we call 'Anxiety' gives us clarity on who we really are and guides us to grow far beyond the illusory limitations of fear, illness and exhaustion. With IF, we can actually choose joy, health and creativity using the hidden skills Anxiety has granted us. IF is a theory and practice designed to guide those who experience Anxiety, not to simply 'cope' and 'manage their symptoms', but to absolutely embrace an opportunity to transcend their experience in an empowering journey toward personal enlightenment. This is a book about the surprising (and thoroughly ironic) relationship between Anxiety and personal Enlightenment. It is ultimately a book about choice - and realising you have one. Rather than being caught up in false assumptions, negative tropes and cycles of 'bad habits', you can choose to ask 'What if...?'. In doing so, you realise that you have an amazing mental and emotional skillset which, if you choose to accept it, can actualise so much more than ever imagined. Embracing the fundamental irony of 'life the universe and everything' allows you to embrace the entirety of your being and explore your true unlimited potential. As a personally written guide, IF offers deep insight, wisdom, practical help and inspiration for anyone who is weary of the cycles of anxious living. Where the usual and traditional approaches simply don't lead to relief or progress, this alternative approach offers a complete shift in both perspective and attitude to turn an overwhelming problem into a joyful solution. Going beyond the traditional models of psychology, IF takes an upbeat psycho-spiritual approach of positivity and growth. The result is a handbook for applying practical metaphysics and mind-body wellbeing into everyday living. With wisdom drawn from personal adventure, creative thinking and holistic experience as well as clinical practice and academic study, IF ignites the sheer magic of being human in place of redundant fear and self-doubt. What if...?

Weniger Details

Living in the 'avant-garden of life', Kirsty Lucinda Allan has led a curious career. Born in 1982 in Scotland, Kirsty was raised in East Kilbride, near Glasgow. Attending local schools and ballet classes, she was a quiet, studious child, yet secretly she was fascinated by the 'big questions', the unconventional and the outré. Studying ancient mysticism, magick and comparative religion as soon as she could hold an encyclopedia, keeping snakes by age ten and practicing hypnosis by 12, she was perhaps always destined to become a 'maverick' in her fields. In the 1990s, Kirsty was a child fashion model and junior ballerina for the Scottish Ballet Company, but her ambitions were curtailed by her developing body shape being deemed 'unsuitable' for either career. As an alternative thinker, these rejections laid the foundation for later adventures challenging body and beauty norms. As an undergraduate psychology student at the University of Glasgow, Kirsty created Ministry of Burlesque as a project to help her and others overcome Anxiety surrounding body image. In doing so, she became an accidental arts movement leader and is considered one of the pioneers of the modern burlesque renaissance. As a 'student hobby that got out of hand', she has produced, directed and written approximately 1,000 shows, workshops and media projects celebrating body and beauty diversity. In also landing (cat-like) in the world of corsetry, latex, fetish and alternative fashion, her subversive appeal led to many worldwide magazine covers (including prestigious art publication 125 magazine), international catwalks and art gallery exhibitions. Adding to her remarkable portfolio, Kirsty was also a formal paranormal investigator for a psychical society and became a consultant for mainstream television and leisure groups on matters of hauntings, vampires and psychic phenomena. By age 23 her first business cards read 'Pinup, Performer, Paranormal Investigator'. As a postgraduate, Kirsty has studied at numerous universities acquiring further certificates in the fields of parapsychology, consciousness, transpersonal psychology, spirituality and mental health interventions. She continues her academic research today - specialising in psi phenomena and the trait of high sensitivity. She is also a scholar and teacher of Western mystery philsophy. Through her unusual career in both avant-garde arts and science, she has developed many unique creative wellbeing workshops and personal development courses inspired by the beauty and insight in everything she encounters. Kirsty lives in an old (happily haunted) 17th Century home in the romantic Lake District, UK with her husband Jon, two children (Victor and Gabriel), cats and a snake. She continues to write, create and coach others to realise their potential through expansive consciousness. More information can be found on Ironic Fundamentalism here: https://belong.theifcrowd.com
