• Do you get lost in your stressful mind?

Then this is the book for you. Filled to the brim with practical insights, it’s a book you’ll want to have sitting on your bedside table. Fifty-two short chapters each contain a nugget of wisdom, applicable to your everyday life, that invites you to pause, come alive to the moment, and remember the deepest truth of who you really are. And each offers practices to help you bring this heart-centered awareness into your relationships, your work, and the way you show up to yourself and your life.Your devoted guide is psychologist Gail Brenner, Ph.D., who offers you her personal and professional experience with knowing how to move from human suffering to the deepest peace and openhearted living.You’ll find questions that orient your attention to the present moment (“What is most alive in me right now?”), suggestions for moving through sticky habits (”When you notice a pattern has overtaken you, stop. Pause. Take a breath. Put some space around it so you have options.”), and ways to work with fear (”Get to know the scary stories fear tells and how it feels in your body. When you notice it, step away from the grip of fear, and see what life wants to offer you—beyond the fear.”).We start with very human experiences that we all get caught in: holding a grudge, believing the harsh critical voice in our minds, being stuck in feelings from the past, judging others. Over and over, we remember the unifying field of aware, loving presence. It’s the living, breathing, timeless knowing that all is well beyond our personal attachments to stories and emotions. And we learn to live practically from this open, connected, conscious place within us.At the Core of Every Heart skillfully navigates the paradox of this messy, emotional human life and the freedom that’s available in any moment. Right here and now, we honor everything and realize the most profound release into limitless ease, spontaneous joy, and loving celebration.Scroll to the top of the page and click "look inside" to learn more or the "buy" button, and the book is yours.
