This page will be a continuing work in progress. I will be adding new pages or information to the site whenever the Spirit moves me - and will announce it on this page as soon as it is posted.  The announcements will be left up as a way of charting the growth of the site.

March 18th, 2013:  
I have added testimonials testimonials about the March workshop to the Intensive Testimonials page and am announcing a new Intensive date on August 18th, 2013.

ebook cover February 26th, 2013:  Announcing the publication of Robert’s newest eBook: The Metaphysics of Emotions - emotional energy is real.  This ebook is the follow up to The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted - and the two ebooks will be combined in one hard copy book.  The Metaphysics of Emotions - emotional energy is real is available in Amazon Kindle format as well as Barnes & Noble Nook format.  Also posted a sale page for the March 17th Intensive Training Day.

January 21st, 2012:
  I have added testimonials testimonials about the January workshop to the Intensive Testimonials page and am announcing a new Intensive date on July 14. 2013. 1/30/13 I needed to change this Intensive Date to June 30th.

Attraction cover January 7th, 2012:  Announcing the publication of Robert’s newest ebook: The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted. This eBook is available now in Amazon Kindle format.

This ebook is the first of two that will be combined and published as a hard copy book in February. In this one I am talking about what I see as misinterpretations and misunderstandings in the way the Law of Attraction is being taught that actually feed into people’s codependency.  Here is a quote from the ebook about why I wrote it.

"I am publishing this book because I believe that the way the Law of Attraction is being taught by most people who are teaching it today is not ultimately Loving.  I believe it is being taught in a way that makes many of the people hearing it feel ashamed;  in a way that causes people to focus on reaching a destination at the expense of being present in the now;  in a way that reinforces the delusion that there is something inherently wrong with being human, with human beings.  It is also being taught by most spiritual teachers in a way that discounts and devalues emotions and emotional healing."

I address the emotional component in the second ebook - The Metaphysics of Emotions - which could be done this month but more likely February. I will then be publishing both ebooks in one paperback book: The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted A Larger Spiritual Paradigm - including The Metaphysics of Emotions.

December 30th, 2012:  Announcing that a new audio version of Codependence The Dance of Wounded Souls A Cosmic Perspective of Codependence and the Human Condition is now available on audible.comnew audio cover

This is a literal audio book with another narrator - not the audio that I did myself which was slightly abridged.  I think that the narrator did a good job - but of course it doesn't have the passion and the points of emphasis that the one I did has.  As one person's feedback stated:

"The audio version is absolutely a mind-blowing audio spiritual experience! You rock, man!! It's one thing to read the articles on the clinically electric computer screen and completely another level of involvement hearing the man himself utter his own words of wisdom and spiritual alchemy. One can tell that you aren't just mumbling through a book you've written; while listening it becomes certain that the message truly is your spiritual truth and not just some neatly packaged intellectual mind job disguising itself in spiritual language. An enormous THANK YOU for sharing your story and perspective for all the world to see, I truly appreciate it, man!"  

The version that I did is for sale right now as an MP3 download.

"Your books are two of the most important books I have ever read. The advice has been life changing - thank you."

"I have seen a number of therapists/counselors over the years, but have not learned as much about my situation as I did reading your website for about 6 hours during a sleepless night last week! found your website extremely informative and rather quite AMAZING!"

"I read this article http://joy2meu.com/Fear_of_Intimacy.html on your website today. I found it to be the most enlightening piece of writing, all that you wrote about rang true for me.  It has already made a huge positive difference to the way I feel about myself and my hope to be a more 'real' person in the future."

"I received your book yesterday. I read it in one go.  It is a beautiful, courageous piece of work and am in debt to you for  sharing this wisdom."

"Your books do something completely different. You have literally changed the way I think AS I have read your books. It just clicks, flawlessly. I am a completely different person than I was a month ago. Every day I grow and change for the better.  Thank you, thank you, a million times."

"I read your book on healing the inner child.  The last one. (Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls Dancing in The Light  Book 1 Empowerment, Freedom, and Inner Peace through Inner Child Healing)  I've only just come across your work in the last month and i ve benefitted so much from your wisdom and insight i want to thank you and express my heartfelt (was crying a lot) gratitude that now I feel I’m not a total mystery to myself any more. "

"Your web site has touched and inspired me. I am so grateful for your work."

Telephone Counseling is available with Robert Burney

Latest Phone Counseling Feedback (9-23-12) 

"I just wanted to say that Robert is an amazing counselor, and he knows how to truly listen, which is a gift very very few people possess. His phone counseling is life changing and worth far more than he charges. Thanks again, to a very gifted man. :)"

"My telephone sessions with you in 2010 was one of the the best investment in myself I ever made! Thank you for providing the tools to unravel the threads and knots of codependency which literally held me in bondage. My inner child healing allowed me to discover that i AM my best friend and my "girl scout troop" of inner children are my playmates, charges and helpers. As I listen to them and care for myself, I have peace, joy, love and freedom like never before!! I've discovered that I can trust myself, I have insightful intuition and I have a keen "bullshit" detector which keeps me out of harm's way in mind, body and spirit. No more a victim, I am truly a powerful creator and joyful participant in my life!” - Posted on Facebook 7/2/12

"I wanted to tell you thank you for all your help and guidance over the last few years.  I never would have been where I am without you.  The engagement has made me very sentimental of all the growth and change and how differently I am able to be a part of this relationship than anything i have done before.  It is absolutely amazing."

"I hope you don't feel embarrassed but I'm just so happy that you exist! At most difficult times, if only I remember to think about you, I feel better. You know why? Because I know you've been through it all and thus I don't feel alone. It is not common to give positive feedback (not here anyway (Finland)) but I think it is important to do so. I hope you think so too. I am glad you were born."

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you my Soul Brother for being such an inspiration to me as well as many others. May you be richly blessed in all goodness...& For those of you struggling with issues in your life, I wholeheartedly endorse Robert Burney. His approach to counseling is healing the inner child through identifying codependency issues.  In 2010 I worked with Robert and it was one of the best investments I ever made in myself...truly changed my life!"

"I have gained tremendously from learning from you over the last 5 months. I've never read anything you have written that I don't agree with and I now have the confidence to write about it myself." (Someone who completed my Counselor Training Program)

"I've found our sessions and your work to be extremely valuable to me in my codependency recovery process and I want to continue this inner work.  I look forward to moving forward with my recovery and to continuing to experience the benefits of your work/wisdom.  Thank you for your support so far on this journey!"

This is my first YANA of 2006.  You will also find my Whimsy award, also non-rated, that I give [on a whim] to websites that I personally like. WOW! I am really at a loss for words - unusual for those who know me. I find great strength reading your pages. They are truly inspirational, and I thank you for writing them."
