By uniting emotional intelligence (EQ) with spiritual intelligence (SQ), Fred A. Kressaty reveals forgiveness as a pathway to healing, restoration, and deeper faith. The Emotional Burden of Unforgiveness Fred A. Kressaty explains that when we hold onto anger or resentment, we remain trapped in cycles of negativity.

  How Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence Inspire Service and Love Compassion is more than a feeling — it’s love put into action. In a world often marked by division and self-interest, compassion has the power to heal, connect, and restore. In Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence , Fred A. Kressaty explains that compassion grows naturally when emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) are cultivated together. Emotional Intelligence Opens Us to Others Fred A.

  Life often feels noisy and rushed. Between work, family, and endless distractions, it can be hard to know which direction to take. In Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence , Fred A. Kressaty explains that one of the most powerful tools we have in life is intuition, that quiet inner nudge that, when grounded in faith, helps us make wise and purposeful choices. Emotional Awareness Clears the Path Fred A. Kressaty shows that intuition works best when paired with emotional intelligence. Emotions can cloud judgment if left unchecked, but when we practice self-awareness and self-regulation, we begin to recognize what feelings are guiding us. By naming our emotions instead of being ruled by them, we make room for clarity. This clarity prepares us to hear that deeper voice of intuition without confusion from fear or anxiety. Spiritual Intelligence Anchors Intuition While EQ clears the path, spiritual intelligence anchors intuition in God’s truth. Fred A....

  Every day we make choices — from the simple to the life-changing. Yet many of us make decisions while stressed, distracted, or emotionally reactive. Fred A. Kressaty’s book, Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence , reveals how integrating emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) empowers us to make decisions that are not only wise but also aligned with our deeper values and faith. The Problem with Reactive Decisions Fred A. Kressaty explains that when emotions rule unchecked, decisions are often hasty, defensive, or fear-driven. For example, anger can lead to impulsive words that damage relationships, while anxiety can cause hesitation that stalls progress. Without self-awareness, decisions are shaped more by immediate feelings than long-term purpose. Emotional Intelligence in Decision-Making The first key is cultivating EQ. Fred A. Kressaty teaches readers to: ·          Identify emotio...

Kressaty teaches that peace is not the absence of problems but the result of balance when emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) come together in daily life. Emotional Intelligence Creates Calm Fred A. Kressaty explains that emotional intelligence is the first step to peace. By practicing self-awareness, we begin to recognize what triggers stress and unrest in our hearts. Self-regulation then allows us to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. These skills reduce the chaos inside us, making room for calm. Emotional intelligence helps us realize that while we cannot always control what happens around us, we can control how we respond. Spiritual Intelligence Deepens Stillness Peace becomes more...

  Creativity as a Gift Creativity is one of God’s greatest gifts to us. It shows up in art, problem-solving, leadership, and even in our daily interactions. Yet many people face creative blocks, self-doubt, or the fear of failure. In Inner Harmony: Mastering Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence , Fred A. Kressaty explains that creativity is not just about talent. It flourishes when our emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) work together. Emotions as Fuel for Creativity Fred A.

Instead of blocking creativity, emotions become the fuel that drives it forward. Spiritual Intelligence Gives Direction While EQ provides fue...
