But it doesn't have to be that way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReturning the Self to Nature\u003c\/i\u003e is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked--the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa--opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self--an isolated, damaged ego in a delusional cycle of selfishness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the reader will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJEANINE M.
