Synopsis
In Realizing the Self Within, family and marital therapist Sue Prescott describes the concepts of spirituality in everyday language that can be easily understood and applied in daily life. Her 24-year background as a therapist gives her the experience necessary to explain how the concepts can help in self-improvement and relationship enrichment.
The book is written from the standpoint of a teacher leading a 7-session class on "Self-Realization in Everyday Life". This format makes the material come to life as the class members ask questions and pose arguments about how the subject matter pertains to their lives. The reader "joins" the class and participates with hands-on exercises, lively discussions and guided meditations.
What sets Realizing the Self Within apart from other books of this type is its simplicity and completeness. Difficult to understand subjects, such as karma, the purpose of life, and how to develop intuition are taught as if the reader were being introduced to them for the first time. The book includes a complete overview of all the concepts of spirituality from why your everyday, personal self gets in the way of expressing your spiritual "Higher" Self up to what it means to be Self-realized and how to develop that potential within.
Filled with inspiring stories and quotes from poets, scientists, and philosophers that touch the heart of the matter, this book causes your heart to respond in turn. Because of its easy-to-read style and comprehensive coverage of the subject, Realizing the Self Within is useful for both beginners and those already knowledgeable about the topic of spirituality.
