The Heart Of The Soul By Gary Zukav and Linda Francis
Blurb; With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prize-winning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us to develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development.
Zukav and Francis show how true emotional awareness transforms the human experience. Although devloping emotional awareness is challenging and difficult because it requires becoming aware of our buried emotional pain, it is also enourmously rewarding. The Heart of the Soul shows us how to free ourselves from compulsions, fixations, obsessions, and addictions-such as anger, workaholism, perfectionism, obsessive eating, alcohol and drug abuse, and sexual addiction- that prevent us from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. It also provides the reader with the necessary tools to replace the desire to avoid painful emotions with the desire to exlpore every aspect of consciuosness, and to cultivate the parts of ourselves that contribute the most to Life.
Emotional awareness- Becoming aware of everything we are feeling at that moment- is one of the most challenging tasks we can undertake. As Zukav relates in the book, "The longest journey that you will make in your life is from your head to your heart."For all of us, that is the unending journey toward spiritual growth-toward wholeness, wisdom and compassion-and the healing that will allow us to achieve our full potential.
Zukav and Francis do not discount the violence and destruction that pervade our world, but they do recognise a new emerging consciousness that has the power to transform it. The Heart of the Soul will be a powerful revelation, enabling readers to recognise emotional awareness as a key component in the creation of authentic power. Filled with helpful tools, empowering practices, and compelling drawings, The Heart of the Soul is a life-changing work that can reshape our lives for the better. It is a book to read and reread many times.
I was drawn towards this book at a market, and picked it up for only $4 AUD. It is the best investment I have ever made, as it consolidates and defines years of personal experience, study and courses into a succinct and easily understandable format. I think there will be aspects that everyone can identify with, amd the powerful words have the ability to impact everyone on some deeper level.
"Ageless body timeless mind" By Deepak Chopra
Blurb: 'Aging is much more a choice than people ever dream. One of modern medicines major breakthroughs is a realisation that the body is not an object, but a process with no preordained limits.
The interaction between mind and body processes has become one of the most exciting and revolutionary areas of medical research. Few people are better qualified than Deepak Chopra to explain how to engage with the limitless potential of body/mind wisdom so as to realise our lives as fully as possible. A world class pioneer in mind/body medicine, and an acclaimed exponent of the significance of the ancient Hindu teachings on Ayurveda, which parallel the insights of contemporary research on qunatum physics in stating that our attitude to ourselves can change the way things are. Deepak Copra here shows us the extent to which reshaping the aging process is within our control.
In a book which combines lucid theory with inspiring case studies- one of Dr Chopras's eighty year old patients has remarked: 'People don't grow old. When they stop growing they become old'- and with a wealth of practical exercises through which to translate theory into practice, Ageless Body, Timeless mind demonstrates clearly and convincingly the innate intelligence of the mind/body processes and the extent to which sickness and aging are created by nothing more than gaps in our self-knowledge. By increasing this self-knowledge, we can master simple yet effective ways to metabolize time, and so achieve our unbounded potential. Ageless body, Timeless mind is a book that everyone who is interested in being alive should read.
I think the blurb captivates the essence of what this book is about. It is exciting to realise the power we have simply in the thoughts we create. It is so important to remain as optimistic as we can as individuals. All the time our body is feeding off information that is being created in our brains, and around us. It doesn't matter whether we express these thoughts or not. The important thing to remember is to find peace, pleasure and happiness in everything you do.
