By its very nature, life is an ongoing transformation. As we grow from infant to adult our bodies and minds experience profound changes. Up to a certain level of maturity transformation occurs naturally, regardless of our strategies or efforts to resist. Beyond that level of maturation, transformation may continue, but it requires conscious effort. This book is designed to inspire readers on their conscious transformational journeys. It contains a collection of articles from past issues of Personal Transformation magazine, a publication developed in 1991 by Rick and Mary NurrieStearns, the coeditors of this book. Contributors include the Dalai Lama, Joan Borysenko, John Bradshaw, Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, Wayne Dyer, Matthew Fox, Jean Houston, Sam Keen, Jack Kornfield, Thomas Moore, Hugh Prather, Bernie Siegel, Thich Nhat Hanh and many more. Readers will discover the gifts of the transformational life, one of which is gradually learning how to truly live. This entails finding what we are called to do and how to access our inner fire and joy. They will learn, through the process of maturing, how to discard aspects of themselves and their lifestyles that no longer serve their lives-and how to connect with all life by simply tapping into their authentic Selves and living their deepest values and ideals. This book will be readers' guide and companion on their journeys of self-discovery and will help open their way to living richer, more rewarding lives. Readers who seek guidance on the journey of self-discovery and personal transformation are sure to love this exceptional compilation.

A Gift to my Spirit,
By Wilma Heckler (New York NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soulful Living: The Process of Personal Transformation (Paperback)
"Soulful Living" is a gift to my spirit and my humanity. It is compilation of the wisdom of possibility gathered with deep dedication. It reflects a quest in honor of soul's search for expression. The teachings of the significant spiritual leaders of our time have been sought out, studied and honored. They have discussed their work or written related articles so that all of us benefit from their wisdom.As a collection of the most articulate, passionate, resonate work, "Soulful Living" functions as a guide to my spiritual needs as they emerge. For the moment I am immersed in the task of using my life learning as elder and contributing it with love to the next generation. An interview in "Soulful Living" with Marianne Williamson is the piece I turn to for exploring my own concerns. Each section of this book can be read and re-read as I seek guidance in finding a path through the complexity of being spiritually alive.By: Wilma Heckler, Ph.D. (Professor of Education and Author of the forthcoming book "Loving the Minds of Children")
