This book helps us to understand the ways of Reality, in turn allowing us to let go into whatever is happening. When we can genuinely accept all that is happening and all we are thinking and feeling, we live a happy life of fun and excitement.This book is a collection of one-on-one student sittings with Sharam, a contemporary spiritual master and mystic. It gives readers a "fly on the wall" perspective of how an enlightened being responds to the everyday issues of his students' lives in relation to their spiritual growth. As Sharam maneuvers through the arguments of the mind and ego, we see how the understandings revealed by a master cause the ego-mind to gradually release its grip on us. This transformation opens the door to the love and happiness humanity yearns for.

Download or read book The Wisdom of a Meaningful Life written by John Bruna and published by Central Recovery Press, LLC. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the keys to genuine happiness? In contrast to stimulus-driven pleasure, genuine contentment comes from living a life of meaning that aligns with one's values. John Bruna provides readers with the practical wisdom and methods to cultivate deeper satisfaction and contentment in everyday experiences. He identifies common traps people fall into looking for happiness that actually create stress, worry, and fear, offering authentic mindfulness-based solutions to counteract them. The increasing popularity of secular mindfulness in the United States mainstream has unfortunately produced a wide variety of teachings that water down and sometimes misrepresent this important philosophy and approach to living. In direct contrast, this invaluable book maintains the substance of the entire teaching as a program that is accessible to people of all spiritual traditions or no spiritual tradition. John Bruna is a counselor, educator, and mindfulness and spiritual teacher. In 2005, he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition through the Gaden Shartse Monastery in India. In 2012, he became a Certified Cultivating Emotional Balance Mindfulness Teacher via the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies. Currently, John is the director of the Way of Compassion Foundation and cofounder of the Mindful Life Program.

Download or read book The Essence of Living written by Robert A. Giacalone and published by Thinkable Press. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the meaning of life? Why do I feel unfulfilled and unhappy? How can I successfully build a joyous, meaningful life? The Essence of Living examines these questions through three stories that serve as metaphors leading to a simple, life-altering truth: Joy and meaning are achieved by living a different story than we were taught. Living in our spiritual amnesia, we forgot where we came from and lost faith in the worthiness of our lives.

Download or read book Soul Centered written by Sarah McLean and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul-Centered: Transform Your Life in 8 Weeks with Meditation presents a secular, mainstream view of meditation and applies it practically as a tool for personal transformation. Each week’s lesson in the 8-week program contains a key for navigating the journey of self-awareness, and each week’s meditation practice builds on those of the previous weeks, making the process accessible and enjoyable for novices and experts alike. Inspiring stories from Sarah’s own experience and from the students she’s taught in her 20-year career as a meditation teacher further enrich the text. Her approach is grounded in leading-edge brain research that shows meditating for 27 minutes a day over 8 weeks can make a huge difference by altering the gray matter in areas of the brain that govern learning, memory, empathy, and stress. Each of the lessons in the 8-week program is designed to provide a structure for creating a successful and sustainable meditation practice. As the readers build their meditation practice, they learn to undo stressful habits that don’t serve them, cultivate compassion for themselves and others, and listen to and trust their inner wisdom. The Soul-Centered journey is one of finding out who you really are; navigating your life based on that peaceful, loving, wise part of yourself; then fully and fearlessly expressing yourself in the world.
