Freedom Is: Liberating Your Boundless Potential [Hardcover]

Brandon Bays (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 23, 2006

All too often, humans look outside themselves for guidance, but according to Brandon Bays, the power lies within. Her new book gently guides seekers to that place and shows them that by exploring their own passions, they discover a wellspring of wisdom. Her formula is simple and profound. Enlightenment is available to everyone, with no formulas to work out, no rituals or mantras to repeat, nothing to complete in order to receive a heavenly reward. In fact, no effort of any kind is required. All one needs is to simply be. Each chapter explores a different aspect of this eternal essence — including Effortless Being, Present Moment Awareness, Honoring and Reverence, Emotions, Forgiveness, and Enlightenment — and is seasoned with traditional wisdom stories and anecdotes from the author’s life. Each teaching ends with a guided meditation designed to draw readers further into an experience of enlightenment and make it a part of their everyday life.

ASIN:1577316002 Freedom Is: Liberating Your Boundless Potential
This book can truly set you free. Read a chapter at a time, doing the exercise at the end of the chaper, and you will see amazing results. If there was a ten star rating, thats how I would rate it. It is a must own book! Peggy Cashman, Canton, NY

This review is from: Freedom Is: Liberating Your Boundless Potential (Hardcover)

This wonderful book will not provide a quick fix or easy answers. It is a book meant to be read slowly, tasted and savoured - and, if you want to get the most out of it, roll up your sleeves and be prepared to follow the guidance given to discover the things that are really holding you back. Keep it next to your bed. This book gives you the tools (for only whatever you pay for it) that otherwise you'll pay thousands for at Journey Seminars (that said, the Seminars are priceless). If you are not ready to face who you really are (and you're great!) then don't buy this book.

This review is from: Freedom Is: Liberating Your Boundless Potential (Paperback)

This is a very inspiration work which helps bring the highly paradoxical and often incomprehensible philosophy of nondualism or Advaita Vedanta down to every day life. Nondual religions like Zen or Hindu Advaita or Dzogchen are perhaps the highest expressions of human religious intelligence, but the teaching that "everything is consciousness" or "any effort to get it takes your further away," or "there is nothing to achieve," can leave the average person (I count myself as one) a bit lost--- especially if you don't have the good fortune to be around a realized nondualist teacher. That's where the book comes in-- in a market flooded with New Age books which often boil down to how use the universe to satisfy your ego wants, this a book that points the way to true satisfaction. It gives good, "practical," if I may use that word, guidance to achieving a state of non-achieving. It's a nice "how to" book for the path in which there is no "how to." It points us to that paradoxical space wherein we must make a total committment to allow things to happen without making any effort. The personal anecdotes sometimes go on a bit too long to make their points, but the author's life and healing are impressive enough to make her approach credible,...actually incredible (in the positive sense of that word, meaning miraculous).
