Joy2MeU Recommended Links

This is a page of links to web sites recommended by Spiritual teacher, codependence counselor, inner child healing pioneer Robert Burney. Included are links to web sites that deal with Spirituality, codependence / codependency, twelve step recovery, emotional/inner child healing, enlightenment, and New Age Metaphysics. Generally related educational, humanitarian, and/or entertaining sites are now being included also. Additionally, there are connections to some related web rings.

“Codependence deals with the core issues of the human dilemma. Codependence has grown out of the cause from which all symptoms arise. That cause is Spiritual dis-ease: not being at ease, at one with Spiritual Self.” “We are not sinful, shameful human creatures who have to somehow earn Spirituality. We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience.” - Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney

In December 2013 I went through all of these and removed the ones that were no longer there - so for now anyway, these should all be good links.

These are the ones I added 9/23/12

Recovery Connection “Recovery Connection has been helping thousands of people find alcohol and drug addiction treatment and detox since 2005. We are dedicated to providing addicts, alcoholics, and their loved ones with answers to addiction and treatment questions, and in locating an alcohol and drug treatment center.”

Treadmill-world](http://www.treadmill-world.com/healthy-habit-or-obsession-diet-and-exercise-addiction-explained/) This is a site for exercise equipment including Treadmills and exercise bikes etc. - but they have quite a number of articles on healthy habits, eating disorders, exercise addiction, etc. Looks like a good resource.

Instead of trying to integrate these that I added 7-4-2010 into the categories below, I am just going to list them here. ~ RB 9/23/12

Links to sites about Codependence, Inner Child Healing, and Recovery sites with info on those areas.

Dr Irene’s Get With The Program Self-Help & Info Resource - Wonderful site with lots of great info - “Understand the workings of verbal abuse, abusive, addictive and codependent relationships and how to fix them. Bulletin Board, Email questions, and more! Co-Dependents Anonymous - The official web site of CoDA. Includes a search for local meetings feature. AL-ANON ALATEEN for families and friends of Alcoholics. AL-ANON (and ALATEEN for younger members) is a worldwide organization that offers a self-help recovery program for families and friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic seeks help or even recognizes the existence of a drinking problem. This is not the official Al-Anon web site (that can be found at http://www.al-anon.org/) but appears to be a valuable resource. The site is available in 12 different languages and lists info to find where meetings are in 40 some countries. The Meadows is a Treatment Center in Wickenburg, Arizona that was founded by Pia Melody - one of the pioneers in developing the concept of Codependence. They are a 30 day treatment program that I would highly recommend but also offer wonderful week long workshops (from survivors of abuse to relationship addiction, a area Pia specializes in) - as well as seminars and training events around the country with their all star staff. Associates of the Center include John Bradshaw (whose PBS series were so important in bringing dysfunction to national consciousness), Claudia Black (one of the pioneers in Adult Children of Alcoholics research,) and Patrick Carnes (a pioneer in the area of sexual addiction.) (On my Referral Page - to Local Therapists / Counselors / Healers: Sierra Tucson is the treatment center I spent 30 days at in the Spring of 1988.) Adult Children of Alcoholics - also for anyone who grew up in any dysfunctional family. Whitfield Recovery Resources - Free recovery resources for addiction, PTSD, adult children of dysfunctional families and other childhood trauma from Charles Whitfield MD, author of the best selling book, “Healing the Child Within” (Which I recommend on my Joy2MeU Bookstore page). Spiritual Emergence and awakening help from Barbara Harris Whitfield, author of “Spiritual Awakenings,” “Final Passage,” and “Full Circle.” A free site dedicated to recovering the Whole Person. Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse - “You’ve no doubt found yourself here at this Website today because you have either been involved with someone who might have narcissistic personality disorder or you love someone whose life has been deeply affected by narcissism or the third option is you are just curious about the life of a narcissist.”

A German translation of my book is now available as can be seen on this page from the publishers web site. The web site of Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse one of the Pioneers of the Adult Child / Codependence recovery movement. Another Pioneer in the Adult Child movement is Claudia Black whose website has been redesigned. As I note on my bookstore page: “Claudia Black ~ One of the people who defined Adult Child Syndrome, Claudia had a great personal impact on my recovery. I attended several of her workshops and saw her at an ACA convention. Her presence and validation in our interactions was very powerful for me. I will always be grateful to her for being herself.” Another pioneer in the recovery field is Earnie Larsen the originator of the Stage II™ Recovery process. Faces & Voices of Recovery is an organization for dedicated to in mobilizing and organizing the recovery community!

Links to sites about Recovery:

Links to sites about Healing and Spirituality:

The Hunger Site- this site is actually helping to feed the hungry of the world. There is a button to click on that results in the sites sponsors donating food to international relief efforts. Anyone can visit this site once every day and contribute to fighting world hunger. Geri Recovery Music The web site of a woman who has CD of great recovery songs that she has written and sings beautifully. You can listen to segments of those songs. The Breast Cancer site where you can click on a link and free mammograms are donated to underprivileged women. Catherine Ryan Hyde is a critically acclaimed novelist and award winning short story writer. She has been a friend for about a dozen years now, and is referred to in my book - as I explain on my recommended books page. Inspiration for life - a personal home page that is designed for webtv. Beautiful writing and graphics - must really be stunning on the big screen tv that it is created on. Factmonster.com - an information source that includes: Atlas, Almanac, Dictionary, Encyclopedia and homework help from The Learning Network. 12 Step Travel.com - Adventures for People in 12 Step Recovery Programs. Ocean cruises organized and designed for people in recovery. Most cruises feature well known recovery speakers - and also workshops and meetings. I have been reading Rob Brezsny’s Astrology insights for some years as it appears in the local free alternative Newspapers in areas I have lived. His messages are interesting and quite out of the norm - sometimes baffling, often inspirational and with an uncanny ability to convey a message I need to hear at that moment on my spiritual path. I have had one or more of his weekly messages taped to my wall or computer for years. In wanting to share his latest one with a friend who is a fellow Leo, I discovered his web site and decided to add a link to it here. Here is a special site which combines 5 worthy causes - and where it is possible to click on a link or all 5 separately and money is donated to the cause you click. The Hunger Site, Animal Rescue Site, Rainforest site, Child Health Site, or Breast Cancer Site. I usually don’t add links to sites that promote just a single author’s work (or artist or whatever) unless they offer a lot of other resources. I have decided this time to add a few that have contacted me - two authors, a poet, an artist, a site about healing songs, and a free greeting card site: Nerd Gerl’s Naked Angel Art; Barbara Sinor, Ph.D. author of “An Inspirational Guide for the Recovering Soul” and “Gifts from the Child Within”; and 123Greetings lets you send free greetings all across the world. The Vitamins and Nutrition Center, where you will find information on vitamins, the latest vitamins research, expert knowledge on vitamins and tips for proper supplementation with vitamins. SpiritualQuest.com provides a wide variety of Natural Crystal Himalayan Salt Lamps, and other meditation related supplies. AngeLynx Divination Cards - “exploring the Angelish Language.” Interesting site about a deck of Divination Cards that explores the meaning of words. Project Renaissance - Transforming Education in Ecuador “Project Renaissance collaborates with the Interoceanica Educational Network to enrich the education and nutritional status of children in the rural area of Quito, Ecuador.” Gofobo.com - Free Tickets to Movie Screenings Susan now works for the National Resource Safety Center which is the Nations Largest Safety Video Lending Library. A great cause here: “A cardboard box is saving the lives of thousands of people in Africa. It’s called Solar Cooker, and it is pure ingenuity. The cookers have made a huge difference—and not just because they are a way to heat food. Without them, refugee women must go outside the camp to gather firewood. But to leave camp is to gamble with death.” Someone strongly recommended the Shalom Process which offers retreats that looks pretty interesting. “Shalom Mountain Retreat and Study Center was established in the Catskill Mountains one hundred miles northwest of New York City. It was founded as a ‘hope structure’, calling people to live passionately and with compassion in the world.” Spiritual Stickers a site with Spiritual bumper stickers.
