Full Description

At birth you are completely your pure self. The ability you then have to let your essence shine through your outer form, gradually becomes overshadowed and buried under many layers as you become more and more influenced by your environment and distracted by many external things that demand your attention. This book encourages you to get back on track with your essence. Through real-life illustrations, you will learn to recognize countless expressions of life energy in nature, in your body – which is part of nature – and in the cosmos. These signposts can serve to expand your consciousness, from what is clearly observable to more subtle life processes. Through being present with yourself and others from your essence, you invite transformation and healing and can experience the full potential of being human. This exploration process begins with your feet on the ground. Treading a path of wonder, stillness and connection with who you are in the depth of your being, more direction and meaning gradually unfold. This book emphasizes personal development, offering realistic starting points for fundamental social change and a worldview that embraces differences.
