Before any battle lines are drawn, the most important battle is won or lost within Today, we are all very aware of war — the kind of war that happens between countries and their leaders. What most of us don't know is why wars begin in the first place — how individual, personal wars are born and rage inside each of us before they ever escalate into conflicts that can spell extensive loss of life. The reason we don't know about this kind of war is that, most of the time, its roots are invisible. In her new book Invisible Warfare, Mona Miller uncovers these roots and provides seeds of new learning that anxiously await planting among the thoughts and feelings of readers who want to learn how to stop the conflict in their lives. Ready to blossom is the knowledge that war begins in each of us — innocently and early — before we have control over what we learn, and it's up to us to develop the ability to see the signs and stop the war before it starts. A master in the field of inter-personal communication, Miller's clients come from all walks of life and life experience. Whether a person is a homemaker, corporate CEO, parent or lover, Miller discovered that conflicts at all levels of society have their origin in the private life and history of the individual. As her clients begin to confront and dismantle personal internal battles and confrontations, their lives achieve new levels of success and harmony. After doing the work captured in Invisible Warfare, individuals are no longer depressed, confused or feel like they're going crazy. The most cited result of her counsel is freedom from self-doubt; followed by an increase in confidence, love, finances and happiness. Using unconventional tools and sometimes colorful, invented language, like "rinsing" and being held an "emotional" hostage Miller breaks through pre-conceived notions of how things ought to be — with a variety of activities and exercises that engage the subconscious and emotional core. Central to the process of communication are three levels of self-worth that indicate whether or not we engage in personal war. These three levels are: • Low ego, which makes us feel powerless Our low ego carries great pain and, when an individual is afraid to acknowledge and deal with that pain, that person remains aloof, away from knowing his or her true self. Our high ego is fed by our low ego, which longs to gain power and forces its energy in an overbearing way. Our spirit is our center of self-empowerment that allows us to simply be who we are. The ability to achieve the level that's best for us comes from our ability to recognize and acknowledge our negative and positive emotions, beliefs, judgment, anger, fear, guilt and shame — and make them visible, not to harm ourselves or others, but to learn from them. Miller asks, "Can we honestly complain about the world's struggles when we, ourselves, are polluting our lives with internal battles? If we want to change, we need to step outside the way we think and feel. We need to 'go beyond what we know.' We need to own - to admit and understand - our past and present experiences and allow ourselves to see how they affect what we think and feel right now. Was someone in your family extreme in some way that led you to the beliefs you now hold? Did you have an angry person for a mentor or parent? Is there someone you live with who triggers guilt in you? Do you feel ashamed of a particular behavior or memory?" To own one's self is to be able to see challenges with no low or high ego, no fear, no shame and no guilt. The point is to see these challenges as messages — to make invisible warfare visible in order to achieve wisdom and truth. True wisdom is a state of unconditional understanding of not only your own perspective, but all perspectives, without judgment and with open-minded acceptance. Miller says, "Put a sign above your bathroom mirror that you see every morning: War stops here." In addition to the guidance provided in her book Invisible Warfare, Miller has created a special workbook full of corresponding exercises and opportunities to engage in techniques that understand what a client's journal writings are ultimately about. These techniques stop the repetitive spin of journal writing. It's called Invisible Warfare, Special Workbook Edition. She has also written and recorded a double music CD "Something I've Gotta Trust" that engages the listener in outside-the-box processing from her own personal stories which follow the lessons in the book. There is also a touching and exciting children's CD of songs and lullabies called "Pick Me Up Blues". The goal: For readers to engage in discovering the root causes of their communication challenges and take responsibility and action for dismantling outdated internal conversations that keep them from achieving life goals. The rediscovery of passion, commitment, integrity and honest relationships is available to all who call a cease-fire on their Invisible Warfare.
