Book excerpt: Are you exhausted from the spiritual search?Are you discouraged by your efforts to think positive and create the life of your dreams? If so, that's good news! It means you are standing at the doorway to profound transformation. You see, the way we've been taught to measure success - even spiritual success - is fatally flawed. It assumes that if we just keep on working on our issues and overcoming our faults and accessing more and more rarefied states of being we will eventually get to experience the peace and joy we so desire. But it doesn't actually work out like that. No matter how much we achieve materially or how long we sit in meditation, it never quite brings us the satisfaction we are looking for. After a few moments of bliss, the petty suffering of our human existence returns. In "The Discovery of Causeless Joy," transformational coach Russel Brownlee describes the dilemma of the modern-day mystic - that most of the success teachings and spiritual wisdom that we so earnestly practice is actually taking us further away from our heart's desire. What we really long for is the deep and causeless joy of our own being. And that can only be found right here, right now, in the midst of life exactly as it is. If you are exhausted from the search for happiness, then let the message of "Causeless Joy" give you new hope as you discover you are only a moment away from true happiness, peace and abundance. In this book, you will discover: why the model of self-improvement and endless growth is fatally flawedwhy your attempts to fix yourself and heal your issues have not brought you the lasting peace you so earnestly desire.why negative emotions are not your enemy (so you can stop trying to get rid of them!)why the Law of Attraction fails to bring you what you most desire And more importantly - you will learn a 4-step process for accessing the Now and the perfection of this moment. You will truly get to discover the joy, peace and abundance that is yours already and which no circumstance can take away from you. Imagine being at peace with yourself, no matter how difficult your life situation.Imagine the freedom of knowing there is nothing you have to fix or get right in order to be yourself.Imagine what you might achieve when you know that your true nature is already pure success and total worthiness.Awakening to this way of life is the next phase in human evolution. And you are part of it! Get "The Discovery of Causeless Joy" now and take a leap into a whole new way of being. What the readers are saying: ""Beautifully, lucidly written! Your book has touched the essence of my own struggles and given me a new way to look at life and myself. I believe it will do the same for others."" - Loraine Magda, "Coach and author" ""A clear, authentic, powerful and very entertaining invitation to us all to go on a journey of unmasking the positivity mania of our age! We can stop the struggle for 'happiness' right now. Instead, we can actually start BEING the joy that we are, with the innovative and simple techniques that Russel offers us. A much necessary and inspiring read that will turn on its head everything you know about joy." - Macarena Vergara, Life coach" "
Download or read book Being Myself written by Rupert Spira and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Myself is a contemplative exploration of the essential nature of our self. Everyone has the sense of ‘being myself,' but not everyone knows their self clearly. In most cases, our sense of self is mixed up with the content of experience and, as a result, its natural condition of peace and happiness is veiled. Through investigation and analogy, the meditations in this collection take us back to our true nature again and again, until we begin to find our self naturally and effortlessly established there, as that. In time, experience loses its capacity to veil our being, and its innate peace and joy emerge from the background of experience. * * * The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions, compiled from contemplations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats. This simple, contemplative approach, which encourages a clear seeing of one’s experience rather than any kind of effort or discipline, leads the reader to an experiential understanding of their own essential being and the peace and fulfilment that are inherent within it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I told you that complete acceptance of our identity is fundamental to our way of life, since every interaction emerges from our authentic self? The number one problem nowadays is the fact we have lost contact with our true identity. We subscribe to ideologies and beliefs regarding who we should be because we want to be accepted. This comes at a cost to our self-worth, since we give up an aspect of ourselves and lose our authenticity. Are you tired of not having your personal needs met? Do you want to live a better life but don't know how? My book will help you reconnect you with the core of your essential self. It is a move away from whom you should be, which is adopted by popular culture. My book invites you to reconnect with the deepest part of your being, which knows who you are and how you should live. * You have more power than you realise. * More genius than you can imagine. * More wisdom and knowledge than you can ever access. * When you let go of the false belief that you are lacking or inadequate, in that moment, you arouse your potential. This is not a patronising statement to seduce you into a false belief. You have unlimited power, and accessing that power is the basis of my book 'Awaken Your Authentic Self.' My name is Tony Fahkry. I am a three-time author, expert speaker and life coach for over 15 years. I believe everyone has great potential within them. It is a matter of awakening it to reach your most efficient level. By focusing on what is meaningful to you, my book will bring value to your life by helping you think clearly and make decisions in alignment with who you are. My book will help you discover your genius, talents and gifts and awakening your highest potential. If you are ready to break free from your limited beliefs, thoughts, and ideas of the world, I invite you to purchase your copy of 'Awaken Your Authentic Self' today, so you can experience the results I speak of. Unless you challenge the status quo, you will remain one of the masses. One has only to look to mainstream culture to see the effects the media and marketing hype have on our society. Don't become of the masses. You have so much potential within you waiting to come alive. Believe that you are worthy and capable of great things and it will become your reality. Awaken Your Authentic Self is endorsed by the international acclaimed spiritual author and silver prize winner of the Nautilus award, Dennis Merritt Jones, who wrote the foreword.
Download or read book Life Part Two written by David Chernikoff and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to seven essential elements that will illuminate your path to spiritual realization and wise elderhood. What Carl Jung called “the second half of life” has the potential to be a remarkable curriculum for insight and awakening. When wisely understood, the changes inherent in the aging process become stepping-stones to the actualization of our best human qualities: wisdom, lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Author David Chernikoff has spent decades pursuing spiritual study and practice with remarkable teachers, including Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Father Thomas Keating, and Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. In Life, Part Two, he distills lessons from across contemplative traditions to invite readers to embrace seven essential elements of conscious living: embracing the mystery, choosing a vision, cultivating intuitive wisdom, committing to inner work, suffering effectively, serving from the heart, and celebrating the journey. These elements culminate in wise elderhood--a state celebrated by indigenous cultures around the world, yet largely unacknowledged in contemporary Western society. For those of us who aspire to live fully and to love well as we age, Life, Part Two is a lucid guidebook that empowers us to personally thrive and to contribute with ever greater clarity and purpose.

Download or read book Happy for No Reason written by Marci Shimoff and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to be happy--yet so many people are unhappy today. What are they doing wrong? Clearly, a new approach is needed. Self-help guru Shimoff presents three new ideas and a practical program to change the way readers look at creating happiness in their lives: 1. Happiness is not an emotion, a spike of elation or euphoria, but a lasting, neuro-physiological state of peace and well-being. 2. True happiness is not based on what people do or have--it doesn't depend on external reasons or circumstances. 3. Research indicates that everyone has a happiness set-point. No matter what happens to a person, they will tend to return to a set range of happiness. This book shows how you can actually reprogram your set-point to a higher level.--From publisher description.

Download or read book How to Pray When You re Pissed at God written by Ian Punnett and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When things really go wrong, what do you do with the feeling that God is to blame? A popular Coast to Coast radio host (and Episcopal clergy) provides some answers. In a first of its kind book, Ian Punnett provides a spiritual path for expressing your rawest emotions through prayer and how to rebuild a relationship with one's higher power--or anybody else in your life. In this important and practical book, Ian Punnett provides insight on feeling anger and resentment toward God and offers advice on how to deal with the pain and blame that accompanies these emotions. In a book that is edgy, timely, funny and compassionate, Punnett presents real help in everyday language for transforming the negativity of anger into a positive and useful force that will ultimately help us pray more effectively, bring us closer to God, enhance our spiritual relationship, and change the way we live and love others. After a divorce, a broken friendship, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or even the accumulation of all the tiny cracks in our spirit from life's disappointments, it’s easy to feel pissed at God. When anger is left unchecked, it is harmful to our minds, bodies and souls. “How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God is not “the last word” on angry prayer,” Punnett writes, “but it might be the first words you have ever heard on the topic. By the end of the book, it is my hope that you’ll understand the role of anger in our lives, the benefit of honest prayer, and the need for honest, angry prayer in the lives of the faithful and faithless.”
Download or read book When Fear Falls Away written by Jan Frazier and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 2003, virtually overnight, Jan Frazier experienced "a dramatic falling away of fear"--not just the immediate fear of her annual medical test but, as she learned as time went on, her fear of everything. She was "flooded with a causeless joy that has never left me." In this book the commonplace belief that enlightenment is only for saints comes apart at the seams. Anyone can be enlightened, and all we need to do is ask. * This rare and beautiful account puts Jan Frazier solidly in the tradition of enlightened teachers from J. Krishnamurti to Byron Katie. * Guns and money aren't going to buy peace of mind. Giving up fear is.
