Synopsis:

Reclaim Joy, Inner Freedom, and Zest for Life. How often do you feel joy--a truly pure, unadulterated experience of ease, bliss, and happiness? In childhood, our joy arises in the moment, spontaneous and free. But as we become adults, we're faced with the pressure of increased responsibilities, endless demands, and a barrage of breaking news. And along the way, we forget how to be present in our own lives. In Soul Shift, Rachel Macy Stafford offers us a practical, inclusive guide to navigating a culture of distraction and depletion to find our way back to what delights our heart, makes us feel alive, and brings us peace. She illuminates how to embody the practice of presence, where we return home to our authentic selves and the joy found only in the here and now. Like a wise, empathetic friend, Stafford accompanies you on a wondrous exploration of self-discovery. She walks you through a symbolic botanical garden made up of eight areas designed to help you practice: presence, worthiness, letting go of perfection, self-kindness, authenticity, forgiveness, looking after yourself, and cultivating your gifts. Soul Shift helps you rediscover the joy inside you at a pace that is natural, with an approach that is gentle and practical exercises that are easy to follow. Here, you will learn how to: - Release external measurements of success so you can focus on what matters - Respond to life's challenges with awareness and compassion - Realign with your heart and the calm presence within - Create a framework to centre you when life steers you off course - Experience the healing power of presence for yourself and with the ones you love In practicing this work, "our innermost truths come to the surface," Stafford writes. "Barriers crumble, the past loses its grip, and we are finally free to show up as our fully human selves and make our unique contributions to the world."
