This book was given to me by one of my clients after he learned that I have had 3 NDE's ... (I secretly hope that I'm like a cat and have 9 lives to live!!!). The Foreword was written by Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is also one of my biggest fans.
It really isn't anything that we don't know already ... I just think it's an excellent reminder!!!
But on with the lessons learned ...
"Always remember not to give away your power - instead, get in touch with your own magnificence. When it comes to finding the right path, there's a different answer for each person. The only universal solution I have is to love yourself unconditionally and be yourself fearlessly! This is the most important lesson I learned from my NDE, and I honestly feel that if I'd always known this, I never would have gotten cancer in the first place.
When we're true to ourselves, we become instruments of truth. Because we're all connected, we touch the lives of everyone around us, who then affect others. Our only obligation is to be the love we are and allow our answers to come from within in the way that's most appropriate for us.
Finally, I can't stress enough how important it is to enjoy your self and not take yourself or life too seriously. One of the biggest flaws with many traditional spiritual systems is that they often make us take life too seriously. Although you know that I abhor creating doctrines, if I ever had to create a set of tenets for a spiritual path to healing, #1 on my list would be to make sure to laugh as often as possible throughout every single day - and perferably laugh at YOURSELF!. This would be hands down over and above any form of prayer, meditation, chanting or diet reform. Day to day problems never seem as big when viewed through a veil of humor and love.
In this age of information technology, we're bombarded with news seemingly at the speed of light. We're living in an age of high stress and fear, and in the midst of trying to protect ourselves from everything we think is "out there," we've forgotten to enjoy ourselves and to take care of what's inside.
Our life is our prayer. It's our gift to the universe, and the memories we leave behind when we someday exit this world will be our legacy to our loved ones. We own it to ourselves and to everyone around us to be happy and spread that joy around.
If we can go through life armed with humor and the realization that we are love, we'll already be ahead of the game. And a box of good chocolates into the mix, and we've really got a winning formula!
I wish you joy as you realize your magnificence and express yourself fearlessly in the world."
