As Natural As Breathing: Being Intuitive
Enter an unfolding journey of intuitive understanding that began many years ago by the author. It is an affirmation that we are all intuitive but that is only the beginning of the story.. For some, living from their intuitive abilities is as natural as breathing. For others, fear prevents them from engaging their intuitive nature. We all get stuck at some point. Through practice we dissolve barriers, connect to our inner wisdom, and develop our intuitive presence.
Ready to own your intuitive nature? Take a deep dive into the anatomy of intuition — including the connection of intuition with intelligence styles, emotional intelligence, the senses, and the nervous system. Learn tools and practices to bridge your intuitive awareness through these connections.
Imperfect in an Uncertain World: Your Life, Your Message
The world has never been so connected — we communicate instantaneously, watch the world unfolding on 24-hour news channels, and jet thousands of miles away in a matter of hours. Yet, a virus of dissociation rages across the globe. Schisms have formed between nations, political ideologies, and religious beliefs. Deepening schisms need not be the end of our story. Within each of us is the power to bridge these divides and, in doing so, create a compassionate, nonviolent world. How do we begin? By recognizing that we are imperfect in an uncertain world.
Using an inward-out approach, Imperfect in an Uncertain World: Your Life, Your Message is a resource for recognizing and minimizing the impact of internal and external violence in your life. Through a series of practices, name your imperfections, rescript your life, and reframe your reactions to responses. Strengthen your commitment to living imperfectly, nonviolently, and compassionately in an uncertain world. Take the challenges to discover the message you share with the world!
Navigate this uncertain world with your imperfections as guides. Read the book!
A Constellation of Connections: Contemplative Relationships
“I haven’t failed, I can tell you 10,000 ways not to be in relationship.” Instead of viewing our relationships in terms of success or failure, A Constellation of Connections offers a relationship paradigm shift. Instead of winning or losing in relationship, our connections with others become opportunities to experience our challenges, learn our life lessons, and meet our purpose. By reframing the way we perceive relationships, we create more mindful, contemplative connections with our self, others, the sacred, and all of creation.
Using the image of the night sky, the book provides resources to live mindfully in relationship. The darkness of the sky is silence, the environment in which our awareness flourishes in real time. The twinkling stars reflect the sparks of compassion present within each of us. Communion, the connectors of our constellation, forms through intentional listening and compassionate response. Through silence, compassion, and communion, our life becomes a constellation of contemplative relationships.
Engaging Compassion Through Intent & Action
Compassion is lived experience — a unique, personal expression of the alleviation of suffering. It grows from our intent. But, we get busy; the connection between our intent and action is severed. We react and further erode the connection between our intent and action. Through compassionate response we rebuild and strengthen this connection from intent to action.
Using the metaphor of a bridge, this book provides a template for reconnecting our intent and action. The bridge has three major components: three foundational awarenesses, four life pillars, and cables of mindfulness practice. Included are experiential activities for creating and sustaining a bridge between intent and action. Create a bridge; shift from fear-filled reaction to compassionate response.
Create your compassion bridge through intent and action! Read the book!
