It is also in Whole Life Products, and was included in The Best of Pacific Spirit catalogs.

Of those who listen to the training cassette twice, 80% report being clearly calmer over the next several weeks in confrontations with family members and at work. We are pleased to be able to offer both the booklet and the training cassette for what we feel is a highly reasonable price.From the AuthorMental Shielding came out of my work over several years with clients who were facing antagonistic relationships and were too hooked in. We do better to brush off or disregard hostility, instead of taking it personally and letting it get to us. Combining the best of available procedures, and I developed a stress reduction training to help you unhook from hostile situations. I found myself using the training again and again with various clients, week after week. So I standardized the training, and recorded it, to make it available to the widest audience possible. I also wrote a booklet to present the rationale and show you how to apply mental shielding to your best advantage in various situations. Together, the cassette and booklet give you a way to toughen up and deal with hostile situations and not be unduly intimidated and stressed by them. I have been truly gratified by the various letters I have received from customers who have learned mental shielding and found it highly beneficial. I wish you the best with your own mental shielding training. where can i download free ebooks pdf Personal Shielding to Deflect Hostility (Book Training CD)

Truly applicable and deeply effective...By cattyTDr. Driscoll's pairing of audio cd and book make the process of entering into meditation and shielding surprisingly easy even though its content is rich and deep. The cd is not too long, so it was easy to incorporate into my very busy day. Dr. Driscoll's voice calmly leads you step by step into meditation without ANY chance to fail (I think!). After listening to the audio cd I felt refreshed and relaxed, and I wondered to myself, "why I don't give myself this kind of time for healthy rejuvenation more often?". Building my shield the first time I listened to the cd was exciting (you'll see when you listen) and meaningful. During the first listen I had already started "shielding" my main stressors and looking at them in a new way that made me feel lighter. The very next day after going through the shielding exercise for the first time, I knew the time spent in meditation and building my shield had deeply affected even my subconscious mind. I had had a dream the night before where I found myself in a stressful/hurtful situation and immediately used my personal shield I had made! I felt personally effective, good and safe in my dream's stressful situation. I have listened to the audio cd more than once now, and my eyes are opening to enumerous possibilities and circumstances when I can and have used my shield. Shielding should be a practice that not only people who feel they are in need of relief learn and use, but that everyone should learn to do because of how it can help you stay focused, calm, and less stressed in unpleasant situations. I am very happy to have discovered this gem.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Changed my lifeBy jojowelchI was diagnosed with depression/anxiety disorder several years ago. I have tried meditation, yoga, exercise, hypnosis, therapy, alcohol, and much more, which has helped some, but not enough to keep me from screaming and running naked down the street! My present therapist recommended Doctor Driscoll's "Personal Shielding" book and training CD. I was skeptical at first, because I had tried so many other things in the past with so little benefit. After reading the book and listening to the CD, I am now able to control my anxiety and panic attacks, even if I am not in a place where I can not listen to the CD. You do the exercises and learn the principles. Then you can use them, no matter where you are, whether in a meeting at work, in the mall, or in a car full of screaming kids. Thank you Dr Driscoll. You have changed my life.
