Download or read book Daily Spiritual Tools written by Sherry Woodcock and published by Sherry Woodcock. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has found God in many wonderful places - within churches, synagogues and other houses of worship, or in miraculous events. In these places we have always expected to find God. But what if we are able to know God within ourselves, and as ourselves, in the midst of the day-to-day events of our lives, work, parenting, paying bills, doing our best and our not-so-best, striving to understand others, and getting stuck as all people do? Daily Spiritual Tools celebrates the existence of the divine in all human experience. It's a compilation of meditations and simple practices that open our awareness to perfect and divine order within all things. As humankind moves from a truth of spirituality "out there" to one of God expressing as each of us and in all things, the tools contained herein help us accept that truth and know it as our own. In doing so we help elevate others and our world. It has been a great joy for me to write Daily Spiritual Tools. May you know the deep truth of God within you as you read it.
Download or read book Spiritual Connection in Daily Life written by Lynn Underwood and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often do you find moments of deep peace and satisfaction in your day-to-day life? How often does connection with other people, the divine, or nature make you feel more alive? How often are you touched by a sense of awe-inspiring beauty, compassionate love, or pure joy? For many of us, these kinds of experiences tend to be fleeting and all too rare. Fortunately, new research is suggesting that a regular practice of paying attention to experiences like these can help any of us find them more often and cultivate richer, deeper, and more satisfying lives. In Spiritual Connection in Daily Life, Lynn Underwood introduces her Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), which is comprised of sixteen simple, multiple-choice questions that invite us to become more attuned tothese extraordinary experiences in ordinary life. The DSES is the definitive set of questions for measuring the experience of spiritual connection and has been used in hundreds of studies, translated into over twenty languages, and used around the world by counselors, therapists, nurses, social workers, clergy from multiple faiths, and business leaders. Spiritual Connection in Daily Life offers a step-by-step guide to using the DSES to improve our abilities to sense the “more than” in the midst of our days. Embraced by people from many different cultures, religious traditions, and professional backgrounds, the DSES doesn’t require any extraordinary experience like hearing divine voices or embarking upon a dramatic religious conversion. Nor does it belabor the exact definition of “spirituality.” Rather, it simply invites us to focus on aspects of our daily lives such as deep peace, sense of inner strength, longing, and compassionate love. The sixteen questions also provide a common, nonpolarizing language for communicating with others about the role of the “more than” in our lives. Adherents of all faith traditions, as well as people with no religious leanings whatsoever, have experienced profound and lasting benefits from having these experiences, including improved health behaviors, better relationships, decreased stress and burnout, and improvements in daily mood. Now all of us can reap these same long-term benefits with just a little bit of self-reflection and Dr. Underwood’s expert guidance.
Download or read book Daily Spiritual Tools Learning to Trust written by Sherry Woodcock and published by Daily Spiritual Tools. This book was released on 2014-09-07 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By learning to trust in yourself and the universe, you open up the world around you and begin to see it clearly, the right and perfect path for your journey. You are able to remember that all circumstances are divinely guided and meant for good. In Learning How to Trust I share my own personal ideas and offer some strategies or “tools” that may be useful to you on your own spiritual journey. For all of us, trust is a very deep and basic need. We all encounter disappointment and hurt in many different ways throughout our lives that make trusting others difficult sometimes. We are misunderstood, mistreated or abused, and in these moments a piece of our heart shuts down, making us more wary and guarded in the future. These situations are part of a human experience that unerringly provides just the experience we need to discover the light within ourselves, and ultimately serve our best interest. But in the moment it hurts, and as we carry the pain forward into other life situations, we become closed off from the wisdom that knows every experience as a sacred part of remembering who we really are. By learning to trust in yourself and the universe, you open up the world around you and begin to see it clearly, the right and perfect path for your journey. You are able to remember that all circumstances are divinely guided and meant for good. In Learning How to Trust I share my own personal ideas and offer some strategies or “tools” that may be useful to you on your own spiritual journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author A. J. Sherrill still remembers the moment when his life was forever changed by a word he didn't even understand at the time: Enneagram. A personality theory that includes nine different "types," the Enneagram has become a popular tool for self-awareness and improvement. But in this book, Sherrill goes deeper, exploring with Christians how the Enneagram can be a pathway to profound spiritual transformation. Sherrill reveals the Enneagram as a tool to unlock new ways of viewing identity, personality, discipleship, spiritual practices, evangelism, and the Bible. Using this fresh approach, Sherrill shows how our true identity is that of a beloved child of God. Recognizing that, we can move confidently into the world expressing this identity through our unique personality. Through Sherrill's detailed spiritual exploration of each type, readers will emerge viewing the Enneagram as a precious gift to following Jesus more closely. Foreword by Chuck DeGroat.

Download or read book The Power of Now written by Eckhart Tolle and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-10-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
