Book Description
This workbook is a tool for you to use based on the book WTF I’m Trying to Be Spiritual: A Guidebook for Loving Yourself without Fear and is a stepping stone to greater self-awareness. This workbook is an honest look at our need to create self-love that in turn reflects on our daily lives and our relationship with the world. Along the way, readers are asked to gently try quieting their minds via meditation by examining meditation techniques through a personal-preference questionnaire. Other tools, such as the redirection of one’s thoughts and the creation of affirmations, are included to get the reader started in a more positive frame of mind along with creating and writing lists for establishing boundaries with others as well as themselves. In addition, exercises related to the practices of love—Flexibility, Non-Judgment, Willingness, Courage, Relinquishing Control, and Integrity/Honesty/Personal Responsibility—are provided. Finally, thought-provoking questions touch on mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness (or lack thereof ). All this is combined to give a wide range of ideas and thoughts without being limiting. This workbook is an invitation to value the wonderful person you are. Jeanette Bishop, retired cardiology physiologist, active healer, and medium with a wealth of experience in humanity and no belief in herself, finally decided to “come out” as a medium and a spiritual explorer with coauthor and her best buddy, Helen Varga. Bishop’s diverse, out-of-the-box spiritual communications rocks everyone’s boat, challenges the mediocre, and brings about a truth so simple yet labyrinthine as it expands. This is just the beginning. Helen Varga with her best friend, Jeanette Bishop, formed Kiss and Tell Creative Productions to tackle taboo subjects through workshops and books. Seeing and sensing God since a small child, she mentored under Bishop to develop her spiritual awareness.

Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
WTF ARE BOUNDARIES? is author Fraser Johnson’s firsthand account of his path to understanding the Narcissistic Abuse Cycle entrapping him, his past trauma, and learning when he needs to say NO, rather than saying yes to everything. It’s also the story of Fraser’s steps toward healing and finally valuing himself. DUDE, YOUR LIFE IS F***ED. This is the frequent refrain of Fraser Johnson’s subconscious, and, honestly, Fraser himself doesn’t disagree. He owns the vast and wild circumstances in which he’s found himself, the humorous as well as the painful, toxic, and even traumatic: loss, an abusive relationship, and borderline self-destructive behaviours. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s all been a part of Fraser’s journey, and he hopes he can use it to help others. Unfailingly honest, WTF are Boundaries? offers an understanding of what it’s like to experience narcissistic abuse from someone you love, why it is so difficult to leave these relationships, and why we need to address the silence around this issue— especially when it comes to how it impacts men. This book sets itself apart from others on the topic by departing from the impersonal, clinical tone often used in discussing it. The author speaks from his own experience, and his voice is real, approachable, and often humorous. Adults looking to learn more about setting necessary boundaries and narcissistic abuse, and anyone looking to engage with a great storyteller who unflinchingly delves into painful emotions as well as unbelievable adventures, this book is for you.

Book Description
You existed before your human experience, and you will exist after. Drawing from his unique pre-birth memories, Christian Sundberg provides an encouraging framework for understanding the nature of the human experience within the larger spiritual context. A Walk in the Physical is a non-linear reality model that boils down the very vast into succinct accessible language. More than a set of ideas though, it is a tool meant to point you towards the portion of yourself that already exists right now beyond Earth. At the heart of the book is the theme of love, and it describes why authentic love – even in small matters – is so deeply important to our human journey.

The Heartfulness Way
Author: Kamlesh D. Patel
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 1684031362
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
“A must-read for anyone interested in incorporating meditation into their lifestyle.” ––Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent for CNN Heartfulness is an ideal, a spiritual way of living by and from the heart that is inclusive of all ideologies, beliefs, and religions. In this heart-centered book, a student in conversation with his teacher, Kamlesh D. Patel—affectionately known as Daaji, the fourth and current spiritual guide of the century-old Heartfulness tradition—present a unique method of meditation with the power to facilitate an immediate, tangible spiritual experience, irrespective of a person’s faith. Our modern, fast-paced world can be an overwhelming place. Every day, we’re bombarded with messages telling us that in order to be happy, fulfilled, and worthy, we must be better, do more, and accumulate as much material wealth as possible. Most of us move through our busy lives with our minds full of these ideas, multitasking as we strive to navigate the responsibilities and expectations we must meet just to make it through the day. But what if there is another way? What if, rather than letting the busyness of life overtake our minds, we learn to be heartful instead? Based on Daaji’s own combination of approaches and practices for the modern seeker—which draws from the teachings of Sahaj Marg, meaning “Natural Path”—Heartfulness is a contemporized version of the ancient Indian practice of Raja Yoga, a tradition that enables the practitioner to realize the higher Self within. While many books describe refined states of being, The Heartfulness Way goes further, providing a pragmatic course to experience those states for oneself, which, per the book’s guiding principle, is “greater than knowledge.” Heartfulness meditation consists of four elements—relaxation, meditation, cleaning, and prayer—and illuminates the ancient, defining feature of yogic transmission (or pranahuti), the utilization of divine energy for spiritual growth and transformation. Using the method, detailed practices, tips, and practical philosophy offered in this book, you’ll reach new levels of attainment and learn to live a life more deeply connected to the values of the Heartfulness way—with acceptance, humility, compassion, empathy, and love.
