Download or read book The Spiritual Seekers Guide to Happiness written by Rashana and published by Inner Nature Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day as Rashana was sitting in meditation she felt the presence of a group of Beings asking her to be their scribe. When she asked who they were they answered The Council of Nine. Being unfamiliar with that name, she said she would think about it and get back them. She wanted to be sure they were of a consciousness that was bringing love into the world. She discovered that love is what The Council of Nine is all about. She agreed to commit to receiving a channeled message every day, knowing that it would be collected into a book so that all could benefit from the 'Essays' as Rashana calls them. Day after day she would sit at her computer and type away as The Council of Nine spoke through her. One day she wondered how many Essays she should have to know the book was complete. The answer was 100. That seemed like a good number. Then she thought, wouldn't it be interesting if 100 Essays took her to December 21st. The significance of that date is that she was writing this book in the year 2012. You see, this all began to unfold in that grand year that led us into the end of a 26,000 year cycle and into this new cycle - the age of enlightenment. The next morning she counted how many essays she had so far and how many more she would need to make 100, knowing that she would dedicate herself to receiving a message every day. Sure enough, the 100th Essay would be received on December 21st. That affirmed to Rashana that she was offering a service to humanity in receiving these messages. She knew the love that was coming through and the guidance on how to create a successful life in these new times. She knew that these messages were going to help people navigate these new and wondrous times and the fact that the book would be finished on the last day of that 26,000 year cycle called the Precession of the Equinoxes was profound. And so this book is available to you now. 250 pages of messages from The Council of Nine that will inspire you to let go of all that you thought you were and step into the full potential that is now available to us all. The Council of Nine encourage us to do as much healing work as we can to let go of the limiting beliefs that keep us prisoner to the past and recognize the full potential of who we are. They invite us to love ourselves so that we will create a life that reflects that love. They state that the word selfish should be wiped from our vocabulary and replaced with the concept of being self-full. Every Essay is infused with the energies of The Council of Nine so that the reader not only reads their wisdom but an energetic transmission is happening as well. In fact, the Council referred to all their messages as transmissions. It is time for us to release our old, restricting thought forms and step into the full potential that we came to this earth to live. It is time to create the life we have always dreamed of. It is time to love ourselves free. The Spiritual Seeker's Guide to Happiness will guide you there. You will feel the love that they transmit as you read the Essays.

Download or read book Searching for Happiness written by Martin Thielen and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to happiness is being rich, successful, and beautiful…right? Martin Thielen, best-selling author of What's the Least I Can Believe and Still Be a Christian?, insists that this is far from the truth. Happiness, Thielen argues, does not come from external factors like getting a job promotion or finally reaching your goal weight. Rather, happiness is an inside job. In brief, easy-to-read chapters, Thielen offers ten traits of happy and fulfilled people. Using psychological research, personal anecdotes, and Scripture, Thielen begins the path to contentment by showing how life circumstances—including income, health, physical appearance, and marital status—only account for about 10 percent of a person's overall life satisfaction. From there, he offers alternatives to the frequent methods we use to make ourselves happy. Instead of aiming to make more money, Thielen contends that expressing gratitude and cultivating optimism are surer paths to joy. Rather than focusing on constant advancement in our careers, let's practice our ability to forgive, to be generous, and to use trials as growth opportunities. These lessons, and much more, help readers who may be dissatisfied in their lives see that authentic contentment is closer than they ever imagined. The book features a guide for group or individual study, which includes questions for reflection and a challenge for each individual to reflect on during the week.

In The Starting Point of Happiness, Okawa beautifully illustrates how we can attain happiness and live a purposeful life. He counsels spiritual seekers to be strong when difficulties occur, to respect and love others, and to be in tune with the will of the universe.

Download or read book The Happiness In Being written by Gari Bui and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE HAPPINESS IN BEING: Spiritual Guide for Discovering Your Essential Nature, is a book that aims to offer the reader a spiritual understanding that is fundamentally inspired from ancient wisdom traditions including the non-dualism of Vedanta and Buddhism, yet conveyed in everyday English language. It is grounded upon the basic spiritual principles that we all share in the 'oneness of Being', and our inherent pure Being is infused with peace, freedom and joy. The way to this recognition is to return to our sense of Beingness. Intrinsic to this 'direct knowing' of our core existence, which is beyond our thinking mind, we come to the clear understanding that we are, in essence, unaffected pure consciousness, or awareness. Then, we must practice and abide in this knowing. Utilising a dialogue format, the journey to discover our essential nature is explored by addressing specific questions of manifested time-bound existence for the modern Truth seeker within the compass of this fundamental understanding. This may help Self-empower us to overcome our personal challenges, worries, doubts, anxieties and fears as well as the inevitable experience of conflicts that we encounter in the world. In particular, this book tackles some pertinent issues of our modern world that can be understood in a new light to be in harmony with a deeper, authentic way of living. We must then endeavour to cultivate a natural flow of aligned action with our inner Being, which will promote a more peaceful, fulfilling and happy life.
