2.  DISCOVERING THE SECRET OF LIFE
by Swami Amar Jyoti
Life has to be a yoga: union with your true being. Ask yourself: why am I not fully Enlightened? What are my blocks? What is delaying my goal? Be honest and you will find something. All situations in life are working out our nature.

FEATURES

10.  THE ELOQUENCE OF SILENCE
by Thomas Moore
If you fill up your life, nothing unexpected can happen. You have to plan and build empty spaces ahead of time so that when an opportunity comes, you can see it and move freely.

14.  ACTIVE HOPE
by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone
Active Hope is a practice. Like tai chi or gardening, it is something we do rather than have. It is a process we can apply to any situation.

18.  DREAM OF A HIDDEN TREASURE
by Rasoul Sorkhabi
In Rumi’s Masnavi Ma’navi, “Couplets on Spiritual Matters,” he tells the story of a man who went to Egypt in search of a hidden treasure, and discovered “grace hidden in hardship.”

21.  AWAKE, EMPTY AND INTIMATE
by Paul Weiss
Our divine emptiness, sometimes blissfully revealed, is equally our empathetic recognition, our dedication to, and our compassion for, all beings.

24.  PILGRIMAGE TO AMARNATH WITH SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
by Sister Nivedita
Swami Vivekananda traveled to Kashmir in 1898 and stayed with western disciples in Srinagar. At the end of their stay, he invited Sister Nivedita to accompany him to one of India’s holiest shrines.

28.  HEALING COLLECTIVE TRAUMA
by Thomas Hübl
The points of pain that we feel in our individual and collective bodies were left by accumulating traumas, but the call so many of us hear is an invitation toward collective healing, the ultimate hero’s journey.

32.  THE RAM DASS TOOLBOX
by Amy Buetens & Julie Weinstein
There are many methods to choose from to help you gain inner freedom and connect to a higher consciousness. And which do you pursue? You must listen quietly inside.

36.  TO LOVE THIS PLACE
by Claire Haynesworth Coenen
When I arrived at the Abbey of Gethsemane for the very first time, I sensed a porousness between the spiritual world and the physical world.

39.  YOUR SENSITIVITY IS A GIFT
by Dana Knerl
Empaths are being called to step into their power more and more, so it is time for us to let empathy be a guiding force. Love and compassion can be the solid stable foundation for the new paradigms that are being created.

42.  YOU ARE NOT STUCK
by Becky Vollmer
Fear cannot be eradicated from our human experience. So, how do you move from a place of fear to a place of trust? First, by accepting that it probably isn’t going anywhere and instead learning to use it in a constructive manner.

44.  PARAM PARA: ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH
by Swami Amar Jyoti
If we are ultimately Light, why do we need to come into this physical existence? How to care for others without neglecting our own health. Do enlightened beings experience discouragement or hopelessness?

50.  IN GRATITUDE

64.  
IN REMEMBRANCE
