Book Synopsis The Trail of the Open Heart by : Rebecca Rees
Download or read book The Trail of the Open Heart written by Rebecca Rees and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are stories of All-Kinds-of-Love: cat love, family love, romantic love, erotic love, friendship and community love, love of work, love of home, love of nature, love of art, love of justice, love of spirit, broken love, mistaken love, and eternal love. From finding and losing and finding a girlhood Jesus to fighting racial injustice in the old South to thirty years of radical loving in flowery San Francisco to adventuring to live on the edge of the wild high-desert mountains, this is one feminist Everywoman’s journey on the Trail of the Open Heart. The dedication from the story “Mistakes of the Open Heart” gives a taste of the book: I dedicate this story to my loving mistakes on the trail of the open heart, the-ones-who-got-away. To Michael, my first friend in San Francisco, who was in love when I was free, and free when I was in love, and lovingly married when I was free again. To Charles, my Rainmaker. To Tim, the first lover who made me feel beloved. To Doug, my kindred spirit who held hands with me in the convent. To Steve, who dumped me on the Winter Solstice, but still wrote to tell me he loved his Hanukah present of seven stories. To David, a sweet guy who just wanted to be my friend and sing with me on the trail. And to Paula, best friend and adventure buddy of my youth, who said that one of us should have been a man and knew that neither was willing to volunteer. From you lost neverwhere or nevermore lovers, and from the unnamed others (including the bad guys), I have learned hard lessons. You taught me humility and respect for the needs of others. You taught me compassion in situations in which I was the rejector instead of the rejectee. You taught me to allow every relationship to assume its natural form, and that just because people love each other does not mean that they are meant to be together. You helped me learn that the true source of all my love is me. You taught me that part of being an attractive woman may be attracting experiences that I didn’t expect. You taught me to take responsibility for assessing when a person may be impulsive and unreliable, and to take responsibility for acting on that knowledge. You taught me that emotional fluency is not necessarily emotional responsibility. You taught me that men who declare that they have been my lover in many lifetimes probably jerked me around in all those other lifetimes too. You taught me to balance the romantic with the rational and not to mistake neediness for passion. You taught me to count the cost of a relationship and decide if I am willing to pay that price—all of it—and still not get what I want. I learned that most people love as well as they know how at the time, given human imperfection in giving love and human imperfection in receiving it. I learned that sometimes love is deeper without sex, and sometimes friendship is more loving than love. I learned that love is everywhere, here and now, and is not restricted in form. I learned that life is ultimately a great Mystery, and that what we have to give and teach each other may be beyond our immediate comprehension. You, my mistakes of the open heart, led me to experience the tremendous peace and clarity that comes from giving up, absolutely, on an unworkable situation. You helped me to learn that I can survive the death of an illusory self-in-relationship and be reborn to new possibilities, an ever–widening horizon of life. You have helped me to become a woman of wisdom, a woman who has learned to make good love and good friends when I can, and learned to make the scraps into enlightenment soup.
Book Synopsis The Open Heart Club by : Gabriel Brownstein
Download or read book The Open Heart Club written by Gabriel Brownstein and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This absorbing and poignant book is not merely the story of one writer's flawed heart. It is a history of cardiac medicine, a candid personal journey, and a profound reflection on mortality. Born in 1966 with a congenital heart defect known as the tetralogy of Fallot, Gabriel Brownstein entered the world just as doctors were learning to operate on conditions like his. He received a life-saving surgery at five years old, and since then has ridden wave after wave of medical innovation, a series of interventions that have kept his heart beating. The Open Heart Club is both a memoir of a life on the edge of medicine's reach and a history of the remarkable people who have made such a life possible. It begins with the visionary anatomists of the seventeenth century, tells the stories of the doctors (all women) who invented pediatric cardiology, and includes the lives of patients and physicians struggling to understand the complexities of the human heart. The Open Heart Club is a riveting work of compassionate storytelling, a journey into the dark hinterlands between sickness and health lit by bright moments of humor and inspiration.

Book excerpt: If you are seeking to more fully engage your heart and soul with a new romantic partner or in your current love relationship, this is the book for you. In this practical guide and spiritual memoir, Robin White Star reveals the intricacies and richness of the shamanic calling ceremony: the power of gratitude that fuels the miraculous calling for your soul companion; making heart requests that are specific without being limiting; sifting through and releasing dozens of beliefs that have obscured your inner truths; reawakening your innate ability to stand in your truth with wholehearted kindness to yourself and your loved ones; and opening your heart to the infinite possibilities of mutual trust, intimacy, love and joy in relationship. The calling ceremony awakens long dormant instincts for sacred relationship, inviting you to safely traverse the inner landscape of your soul consciousness in order to release the fears and limitations that have hindered your ability to manifest your heart's desire for an intimate, authentic, loving relationship with your Soul Companion - whether with a new or existing partner. This calling from the heart starts with your own healing and purification, and leads you through personal empowerment and spiritual understanding until you are crystal clear about who you perceive yourself to be and who you are calling into your life. Upon the culmination of your personal journey, you are ready to sit with the Fire to call your Beloved to you, connecting energetically heart to heart so that you can meet in the physical with grace and ease. White Star outlines the ceremonies and indigenous wisdom she learned through oral tradition as an apprentice for over 17 years to a healer and medicine man of Cherokee descent in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Not only does she share these native teachings and traditions in her own words with clarity and simplicity, she also relates her personal journey of calling her Soul Companion into her life using candor and humor. Because the Calling Ceremony is a life-changing and love-enhancing spiritual adventure, White Star has made this sacred Calling Ceremony available to all who are seeking a higher vibration in their relationship. Consciously inviting joy and healing into every aspect of your life and intentionally aligning your heart's desire with the web of co-creation and interconnectedness that has always been present in your life are the true powers of the Calling Ceremony. Embark on this sacred journey if you dare. It is dangerous work - you could end up being happy!
