Excerpt
Forward by Paul Pearsall, Ph.D:
Everyone faces change--whether it's the heart-wrenching loss of a child, a partner, or a home, or the dull ache that accompanies a questionable medical test, a rumor at work, or an inner knowing that an intimate relationship is in trouble--there's really no way around it. The only choice you have is how you're going to approach the changes that are staring you in the face:
- You can connect with your situation with a quiet, open heart, ready and willing to receive the wisdom that comes from the spontaneous insights and cellular memories you receive when you are alert to the lessons of the heart's code and its dance with the subtle energies of nature.
- Or, you can enhance your struggle and suffering by trying to avoid your plight-trying to rationalize, deny, or escape whatever you can, even if such approaches are only the brain's way of self-protection that ultimately fail and can result in more physical, mental, and spiritual pain.
