Saving Your Own Life is not about dying...it is about de-energizing the fear we have about dying so we are free to live our best life. It is about artful, elegant living...saving your precious time for the good stuff...
Change your past? Have you ever considered how you could not only change your future but also alter your past - from this moment on? It is a totally refreshing way of looking at life! I explain how...   |
Excerpt from the Preface:
I have found a way to come to terms with the inevitability of my own death that brings me peace. That, delightfully, is what has saved my life.
“Today is a good day to die, for all the things of my life are present.”
This lovely phrase by the Lakota chief Crazy Horse invited me into an intimate dialogue with myself. It was the beginning of a deeply personal and reflective exercise.
It is a declaration of acceptance and courage: Today could be my last day, so I will make it my best day. With this in mind, every day will be my best day.
Like a fingerprint, what that “best day” looks like for me will be different for you. For some of you, that means living large, boldly going where no you has ever gone before. For some, it means simply putting one foot ahead of the other, finding the courage within you to summon a kind word or two from out of the depths. And for some, simply waking up on this side of the grass is your triumph and what you consider living your best life. It is all good.
Experiencing the passing of a significant number of people I care about has given me a lot of information to process. I have done as much death work as I can, at this point, without actually dying.
I worked through the healing process using the tools and exercises outlined in this contemplative workbook. It is designed to assist in the process of de-energizing many of the subjects that hold fearful, guilty, angry, and/or confused energy for you. These thoughts can hold you captive for your entire lifetime and strip every day of its joy.
However, thoughts can hold you prisoner only if you agree to it. You cannot alter the fact that you will leave this life through death’s door, but you do have the power to change your mind about how you consider your death while you are still among the living.
Saving your own life is a lifelong practice. It puts into perspective the wonderful gift that you have today, as you open your eyes and find another day in which to live and love. I continue to work at de-energizing the challenges of life each day I wake up on this side of the grass...
Today could be my last day, so I will make it my best day…
