Book

I finished "The Book Thief" last night for my book club meeting tomorrow night. What an ending! I cried like a baby. It was such a touching story that practically ripped my heart out. But it was a realistic tale of Nazi Germany during Hitler's reign and the life of the young German people who lived it. Uh... can't think about it again, I'll start crying. Hopefully I'll be over it by the time we talk about it tomorrow, otherwise I'll bring lots of tissues.

I finished reading "The Yoga of Jesus" and have now moved on to a book about living fearlessly. I can't recall the title off the top of my head, but it is written by a woman who had a lot of anxiety and used meditation to find the natural loving core of her and stay there. I want that. Even more than running away, I want to feel that peace. I already feel it.

I read in one of my books that when you can quiet your mind and just feel the inner peace and love inside of you, you are feeling your own soul. If you can just mediate deeper, you can go beneath your own soul and feel God's love radiating inside of you, the Source. I have brief glimpses of it, but the peace of my own soul is comforting. This is what I have been without for the last few years, which I had lost. It feels incredible to have it back.

I also read that people experience anxiety and depression as a drastic measure for the soul sending you a message that you are not living the right path. Its a wake up call to find yourself again, as you've lost yourself somewhere. I feel like I'm finally back on the right path! THANK GOD!
