MAGICAL KEYS TO SELF-MASTERY:

CREATING MIRACLES IN YOUR LIFE

INTRODUCTION

Is it possible to manifest miracles in your life? Is it possible to live the life you want to live and to be who you want to be? Of course it is! But you must first come to know who you really are and what you really want in order to actualize it. And to do that you need to have the keys that will help you to do it.

This book gives you solid, easy to apply, proven tips and techniques on how to really get to “know yourself” from the “inside out.” In this way you can bring greater joy, passion, purpose, creativity and love into your life. This book is a primer on Self-Mastery and on how to make your life miraculous.

The first chapter Peace of Mind is a Breath Away: The Fine Art of Meditation gives you an in-depth introduction to Meditation, explains why it is the foundational key for all change, growth and miracles in your life and offers a simple meditation exercise to help you get you started. Meditation introduces you to your “most significant other”---yourself!

The second chapter Peace of Mind is a Thought Away: As You Master Your Thoughts, You Master Your Life explains how important it is for you to be conscious of your thoughts, how they create the experiences you have in your life, and how to master your thoughts so that your life is an expression of the deep joy and passion that lies within you.

The third chapter Using Meditation to Relax and Manage Stress explains the deleterious effects excessive stress can have on you and offers a couple of simple, easy to implement meditation exercises that help you to relax and bring greater health and happiness into your life.

The fourth chapter Life Is a Trip, But Where Are You Going? The Art of Choosing “Who to Be” Rather Than “What to Do” offers suggestions on how to create real quality experiences in your life by learning how to simply “be” instead of always “doing.” Instead of always creating “to Do” lists, here you learn how to create a “to Be” list. It is through this process that you can create miracles in your life.

The fifth chapter Meditating with Your Children: Relaxation, Communication, and Quality Time for Your Family teaches you how to incorporate meditation into the rhythms of your family life so that you can vastly improve the overall quality of your life and the quality of your children’s lives. Here you learn how to make everyday life sacred and miraculous.

The sixth chapter The Art or “HeArt” of Listening helps you to learn how to “listen” from “within” rather than from “without.”

True “listening” is not an active, assertive state. It is not a state that judges, understands, or analyzes. It is simply a state of “being,” a state of silence, a state of openness, receptivity, and allowing. It is quiet and still and does not pay attention to words or appearances;instead it senses the “essence” of things. It looks into the Soul of people, experiences and all things. It is a state of simply being present and just “knowing.”

By learning how to “listen” one can truly experience the full wonder, mystery and majesty of oneself and of all of life. This chapter opens one to this kind of true “listening.”

The seventh and final chapter A Time of Collective “Initiation” is a brief reflection, from an internal perspective, on what is happening on the global scene during these times of great transition and uncertainty.

As well, I have included a section of some of my favorite quotes on Self-Mastery and Meditation, a Postscript, and a brief section about my work.

Lastly, I have added a bonus booklet entitled: Magical Keys to Self-Mastery: Creating Miracles in Your Life, Meditation Booklet. In this booklet you get the verbatim transcript of four guided meditations that are based on meditations that I have outlined in the book.  Practicing, and even just reading through, these meditations will help you to best integrate and absorb the message of Magical Keys.*

Life is meant to be “magical.” Claim the “magic” and the mystery of it all and then “live it!”

Wishing you all the best! Peace be with you! It is your birthright!
