Publisher's Synopsis
THIS LIFE IS JOY is an extraordinary new book by one of the most admired and successful spiritual teachers in the country. With THIS LIFE IS JOY, Dr. Teel shows us how every moment, every experience and every person can be an opening for our soul. Each opening is a portal to greater understanding, more peace and joy and an overwhelming experience of love. Separated into three easy-to-use parts, this book will: · Tell a fable that puts our spiritual journey into context. · Discuss the seven spiritual principles that are universal to all of the world's wisdom traditions, becoming a map into our purpose and destiny. · Show how nine specific challenges and difficulties (fear, illness, change, etc.) can be transformed into stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. Each chapter, also, includes three parts: the Essence, the Experience and the Expression. The Essence gives the spiritual teaching behind each principle, the Experience tells a story illustrating the principles from Dr. Teel's own life or the life of one of his many followers and the Expression gives specific instructions for the reader to embody that principle for themselves. Filled with advice that can only come from a lifetime of practising these traditions, this book will be a unique and indispensable guide to people who want more from their lives.
