GENRE: Self-help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
This
book will help you understand your thinking. You are never broken inside; you
just need to take yourself, your thinking, and your life less seriously. There
is a divine wisdom always present and waiting for you to listen to it. There is
no one — and I mean no one — wiser than you and me. We all have available to us
this wisdom that is ready and willing to help you to be safe, to be happy, and
to live a most fulfilling life. There is really nothing for you to do except
read and watch for a lovely feeling to develop inside of you. This feeling is
with you from birth; it is your ever-present inner energy of psychological
well-being. Most of us cannot experience this inner spark of well-being because
we have learned to think of ourselves as inadequate. The words in this book are
meant to take you back to the gentle feeling of peaceful contentment and love
for self and others. Relax, and see if you can find your way back to yourself,
your inner home inside of you. You need not look anywhere other than inside yourself
to find all that you truly want and need. It doesn’t matter what your life
looks like now; you are capable of turning it around into a heavenly life while
here on this Earth.

EXCERPTS (Exclusive Excerpt):
Your inner
wisdom will always guide you, if you listen and let it in. If you get quiet
inside of your head, then your inner thoughts can come from your inner wisdom.
When we are feeling judgmental, or self-conscious, or just plain uncomfortable
inside, then usually it is just that noise in our head talking loudly. I call
this noise your intellectual thinking which results from your opinions and
beliefs. True wisdom holds pretty much no opinions or judgments. A lot of inner
chatter is usually just going to mess you up with ideas that are not coming
from your true inner wisdom or your mind.
Most of our
creative and helpful thoughts come from our true wisdom, or universal mind, or
universal intelligence. In contrast, many people will go their whole lives
mostly just thinking from their intellect or their personal mind where they
only have access to information that is learned in this life and now held in
the brain as a memory. To get to your really interesting thoughts, your truly
creative mind, you must access the universal mind. You do this by learning to
quiet your mind.
You are now
on your way to realizing that your unhealthy thoughts don’t have to mean
anything at all; they are not usually true or helpful for you to reach the best
solution. Most people do not realize that most of their thoughts do not require
an action. They think that if they have a thought, they have to act on that thought.
Yet you do not need to react to most of your thoughts. This leads to the
realization that often we can turn away from our thoughts; often nothing needs
to be done. We don’t have to believe most of our thoughts.
We have
between sixty thousand to one hundred thousand thoughts per day and we just let
most of them slide on through us; we don’t give them our attention. It is when
we stop on an unpleasant thought that we get ourselves into trouble. Maybe the
thought that you stop on is, “I am a useless person,” and then you start to
feel like a useless person. You may start acting like a useless person. You
mistakenly believe the thought because you thought it, so it must be true. Now
you are acting like a useless person.
The truth is
that thoughts are not necessarily true; you may just need to ignore the
thoughts that don’t serve you well. Once you learn to let the unwanted thought
pass through your head, you can then begin stopping on the thoughts that serve
you well and just simply ignore the thoughts that are not good for you.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I live in
Canada. This is where my husband Rae and I have raised our two daughters; they
are our absolute pride and joy in life. Along with a career in nursing, I
received my B.A. in psychology at the University of Manitoba. I have also
undertaken the study of developing an understanding of the three principles of
mind, consciousness, and thought. This understanding has enhanced my life
immeasurably. Following a workplace head injury and depression, I went through
a long climb back to health. I learned of an ever-present, inner psychological
health that I have always had and just needed to understand once again. The
result of this knowledge has led me to a life of peace, contentment, and love.
I hope this book will lead you to a similar place.
