Are you tired of being a "seeker"? Ready to be a "finder"? Our souls long to awaken, to remember who we are and live into the truth of our being. We set out on a quest, looking for someone to tell us what is real, when all along, the answer is as close as our breath. And our breath, if we listen to its wisdom, will teach us everything we need to know. Simple, charming, and humorous, Your Breath Is Your Guru empowers us to listen to and trust our inner guidance, illustrating with ordinary life stories how easy it is to befriend ourselves with the gentle embrace of self-awareness and acceptance. Awakening isn't something to attain. It's our natural state, the life force in every cell, the energy of creation we all share. Success is meaningless. Failure is impossible. Our very existence manifests our perfect destiny. So relax, have some tea, and know that you are among kindred souls. You are not alone, ever, and you are always loved.
