Él motiva a los lectores a que se apoyen en el hecho de que Dios siempre está trabajando, aunque muchas veces lo hace en maneras que no podemos ver. Nada ni nadie está fuera del alcance del Señor. La muerte de un ser querido, la pérdida de un empleo, un divorcio inesperado o un mal informe médico--pruebas incontables-- pueden dejarnos con una sensación de derrota y desesperanza. No obstante, si puede hallar la fe para creer que Dios está obrando, sin importar cuáles sean sus circunstancias actuales, usted puede superar cada día. Todos estamos destinados a enfrentar dificultades en la vida. La esperanza, sin embargo, es la creencia de que --a pesarde lo que ven nuestros ojos-- Dios está obrando sobrenaturalmente tras bambalinas. A veces, tiene que ver en retrospectiva para recordar lo que Dios ha hecho por usted a fin de que pueda tener fe para lo que está por venir.Senda DIos hará le traerá una esperanza renovada y se convertirá en un aliento de aire fresco para su alma. Life can be difficult. But does God care?

Irene Visedo, tras años de estudio, investigación y experiencia en el despertar de la conciencia, te muestra un camino directo para vivir tu propia práctica sanadora de autocuidado e higiene mental formidable que te aportará mucho poder personal y tranquilidad.

Si existe conflicto fuera es porque hay algo dentro que no..., que no marcha bien». «Todo cambia. Nada permanece. Y esto es lo que nos duele; sin embargo, aceptarlo es lo que nos libera y permite entregarnos a la vida como seres humanos conscientes y atentos con nosotros mismos y con los demás, eligiendo crear paz dentro de nosotros para reflejarla fuera».

Selfless Love
by Ellen Jikai BirxSelfless Love shows how meditation can help us realize that we don't love--we are love.Gentle, elegant, and radically inspiring, Selfless Love presents a holistic, experiential meditative path that enables us to see beyond our preconceived notions of identity, spirituality, and humanity. Drawing equally from Zen parables, her experience as a mental health therapist, and the Gospels, Ellen Birx shows us that through meditation we can recognize that our true selves are not selves at all - that all beings are united in unbounded, infinite awareness and love, beyond words. Recognizing the limitations of language in describing the indescribable, Birx concludes each chapter in the Zen tradition of "turning words" with a verse meant to invite insights.

Selfish Mind, Slavish Body: A Quest Into Self-Identity
by Laljee VermaEvery thought, sensation, observation, and emotion is mediated by the mind, and it underpins everything that constitutes the perceived reality. But despite an exponential growth in our understanding of the mind, accounting for its nature and implications remain elusive. Selfish Mind, Slavish Body is an enlightening odyssey that investigates the fundamental nature of mind, individuality, and the self. The book distils the wisdom from both, the Eastern and Western religions, teachings of great philosophers, and profound insights from contemporary science into a singular, comprehensive source. The strength of the book lies in its attempt to simplify and unite the diverse viewpoints and conceptions from various fields. Some of the key concepts addressed in the book include: • The religious, cultural, and environmental influences that shape our perception of the world and self-identity. • The relationship between the conscious mind and the physical brain. • The conjunction between mind and the material world. • The intricacies of consciousness, subconsciousness, and ego. To put it succinctly, Selfish Mind, Slavish Body is an ambitious and creative endeavour that provides a fresh perspective on the architecture of self to uncover and understand what really resides behind what we call &‘I&’.
