Big Mind, Big Heart – Finding Your Way


Big Mind Big Heart Finding Your Way




This book presents a highly original and accessible pathway to self-discovery and personal liberation. Since 1999 the Big Mind process has been experienced by many thousands of people in seminars across America. Big Mind employs a Jungian voice dialogue technique that enables people to step out of limited self-concepts into awareness of their many different sub-selves (emotions/mental states). In addition to exploration of the more familiar sub-voices like anger and fear, author Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel uses this technique to help people access the ever-present Big Mind/Big Heart awareness – the clear, "just being" awareness and the unconditional compassion that we all can experience. The Big Mind process is now available in book form to bring readers of all backgrounds many benefits including: access to our innate wisdom, compassion and equanimity; openness of mind and ability to shift perspectives; greater presence and empowerment; and appreciation for the wisdom within all of our many sub-selves even ones we tend to dislike or disown, like fear and anger.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars So easy, so profound
I completely recommend this book. It is so easy and makes the workings of "The Ego" so clear and understandable. Experiencing "Big Mind, Big Heart" is profound and life changing.

5 Stars Wow!
This book is breakthrough therapy and understanding. It goes beyond the traditional self help and spiritual books, and gives the reader a deeper understanding of life, consciousness, and our connection to the source. This book is a great complement to Pearls of Wellness (Pearls of Wellness 52 Inspirations to Achieve a Peaceful Body, Mind, and Spirit).

5 Stars This book is simple and direct. This book is Zen.
The beauty of this book is that we are able to acquaint ourselves with the mind of Zen Master Genpo Roshi and see that he is as ordinary as the rest of us non-masters. He uses his own experiences to bring aliveness to a handful of voices, which are part of the 10,000 dharmas (aspects, voices)that make up who we are. Reading this book will allow one to begin the journey of rediscovering oneSelf in a way that is both personal and genuine. Whatever Zen is, I think this book points the way perfectly. When we know our true Self then we can find happiness, love and truth in our lives.

5 Stars Further evidence that Zen is a teaching outside the sutras
So you thought Zen had gotten stuck in the meditation hall at some far away Japanese monastery? Look again my friend. Genpo Roshi has delivered the breath of fresh air I've been waiting for since 1964 when I first sat Zazen (Zen Meditation). You can check him out at :

Then go to Amazon.com and save a bundle on this wonderful book. No more sitting stuck in a rut like a constipated Toad. This man understands that the wheel of the Dharma must get unstuck from where the Monkey mind jams it.

In Disney's Alice in Wonderland, full length cartoon done way back when, there is a catapillar smoking a Houkah asking in letters forming out of his smoke rings "Who are you?" Read what Genpo Roshi has to offer us as the tool to unlock this puzzle. It's really so simple and is exactly what's missing from Echardt Tolle.

Stick around long enough and someone will find that last piece of the puzzle we confront each day!

5 Stars Incredibly powerful
This book is an awesome tool for the search within. Like an immense flashlight the reader can see into the space of the mind. Genpo Roshi is an awesome teacher whose book embraces the essence of his teaching.
