The 12 Commandments of the Heart (German Version)

The journey back to our humanity is a great challenge for us all, for we have lost ourselves along the way. “Functioning at all costs” has become paramount. We strive for perfection, wanting to conform to a societal ideal that leaves no room for weakness. To meet every requirement like a machine, to achieve the superhuman, and to ignore, suppress, and shut out our feelings so as not to destroy this desired perfection—this is the spirit of our times. But what does it mean to be HUMAN? What defines HUMANITY? Are we still capable of feeling, or have we become empty shells, puppets driven by functionality? What is the meaning of our lives, and are we even alive? What does it actually mean to be alive?

Corinne Dettmer explores all these questions within a philosophical framework, examining the development of our humanity in a clear and direct manner. With remarkable simplicity, she traces the primal principles of life and shows how small insights can lead to a new awareness. The great pronouncements of the ancient philosophers, such as “Know thyself!” are given a new interpretation in this book. The aim of this book is to explore the questions “Who am I?” and “What is the meaning of my existence?” more deeply in this context and perhaps even to find the answers for yourself.

In a clear and compassionate manner, the author shows you the strengths and potential lying dormant within you, how it is possible to reactivate your feelings and your intuition, and how you can recognize your own self-worth and (re)discover self-love within yourself. She guides us through processes of insight toward a compassionate relationship with ourselves, and thus also toward the possibility of unconditional love.

Corinne Dettmer is the founder of the Academy of the 12 Heart Sciences, where she offers awareness training based on the 12 Commandments. The author works as a therapist, coach, and lecturer in her own practice, where for more than 10 years she has been helping ill and seriously ill patients pave the way back to their humanity through awareness-opening and the activation of vitality, and through this work she has been able to witness many wonderful healings.

“My goal is for you to once again embark on your personal development with love, curiosity, and profound gratitude for this life, to accept your life unconditionally, and to enjoy with full joy everything that has been given to you…!”
