I'm in the midst of walking down this road of winning my husband back. My husband and I have been married only five years, but have taken in many parasites of life during that time that have ultimately caused a deep gap to form. This book calmed me, there is no better way to describe it. It has given me hope and a purpose. It has helped define what I will be doing on the road ahead. Above all, it has pointed my eyes to Jesus, the place they should have been all along.

I'm nearing the end of my 40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast and I must say that this tiny book has fed my soul and quickened my spirit.  At first I was simply uncomfortable with the stirrings, but I continued to do the daily reading, prayer and meditation and I can honestly say that it has moved me to a much more comfortable space.  If you are going through some life challenges this book will help you put things into perspective on your own.  What a small price to pay for a neverending peace of mind.

This book has helped me really focus on what I want and how to appreciate things I have. My relationships have improved and I finally have figured out a way to feeling content and be at peace. This book is sure not a onetime read but something you keep referring back like a guide.

Kinship With All Life has made a lasting impression on me.  The way the author gently leads the reader through his experience with animals and other life, as well as describing the special relationship those who are "gifted" have enjoyed has brought me to a new level of peace and relaxation.  Pleasantly worded, easy to read, full of anecdotes and stories which are rather spiritual in nature, Allen has made a believer out of me.

Well, for a very long time I had been searching a book on meditation. I bought a few of them and tried very hard to read but was not able to connect to them.

Today I got the kindle edition of this book. I just cannot stop reading it.

It is written in very simple language, and I could immediately connect to it. I mean it feels so natural to read this book. It is so close to what I do on day today basis and makes be feel better already...

I have read couple of pages already and I can begin to see the peace dwell upon me.

I will come back and share more of my experience.....for now I have to get back to the book...

I found this short e-book after meeting the kind and generous Dr. Puff at his Wednesday evening meditation event's. Meditation plus this book has helped me have a breakthrough in meditation and with my 8 year and counting journey searching for optimal health.

I have been searching for optimal health for about 8 years now, but through a variety of ways: food, alternative medicine, yoga, dance, art, design, boyfriends, a career change, and etc. All I have their place in my life and all is relevant but my mind wasn't ready for the benefits of all those things. Which is why I started to meditate.

I had found peace of mind through meditation during a study abroad program in Japan in 2004. It was mainly because I participated in an intensive Buddhist meditation training and because I wasn't searching for it [nor did I know what "it" was]. But once I left the temple and the country I never was able to quiet my mind again and I stopped meditation.

November 2012, I started to meditate again but my mind was restless, although I meditated at least once a day, I could not quiet my mind for the life of me. I read books, I did a few online programs, nothing worked for me. I then searched for a local meditation teacher and chose Dr. Puff because of his expertise in meditation but also because he had a Ph. D. in Psychology [Spirituality + Science = Good Stuff]. And my instincts were right, after a few weeks, my meditation practice has improved tremendously.

All of the knowledge from each teacher has definitely resonated with me, but Dr. Puff's book and meditation event's really helped me start to heal my core, heal my mind, in order to focus on being in the moment and to get maximum benefits from everything else I do in life. Our mind is so powerful and Dr. Puff explains it so well in this book. I think it is because he uses science and his personal stories to practically explain the process of finding enlightenment through anger work and meditation, his holistic methods were extremely easy for me to understand and apply and the benefits were seen immediately.

I hope this book helps you find a peaceful mind. Peace.

I have been part of, or entirely responsible for, "closing the house" five times so far, due to deaths, or to the diminished ability of loved ones to continue to live on their own. Two of those occasions were the Estates from Hell, with extended probates, knee-high piles of moldy magazines, lost paperwork, and strangers coming out of the woodwork with "promises" that the deceased had made to them; and one was so thoughtfully preplanned and done in stages, that the entire estate was settled within two weeks after my mother died. With each of them, I vowed to organize my documents and possessions to avoid leaving things in a tangled mess for my adult children, who are all in their 40's, live distances away, and have full lives of their own.

So this book has come along at a good time for me, now that I am soon to be seventy, and I am in the physical process of downsizing and organizing; and yes, finally writing my Will, as my daughter annually reminds me.  For my purposes, I especially liked the first two chapters, with checkpoints to refer to while my husband and I still manage pretty well, but are beginning to slow down. It is making it easier and smoother to bring up topics like long distance driving, and hiring help to finish home improvement projects and care for a high maintenance yard, and giving important stuff away now. Having  questions in black and white helps us, and our kids, to watch for signs of how we are really doing, and for us to take care of as much as we can now, so their experience will not be as hard when we are gone.

Some days I pick up this book during a free moment, pick a page and start reading.  Some days, I pick it up and move it from my office desk to my nightstand.  Some days I seek out this book because there's something going on in my world that calls for a reminder of who I am and where I fit in to this life.

Soul Proprietorship was given to me to read by a good friend.  I was going through some particularly rough stuff at the time and was already on the way to realizing on my own that my coping skills need work.  I can get through anything - if there's nothing I know for sure about myself, I know that - but the way in which I've gotten through hasn't always felt right.  And this time more than any other time in my life, I was overwhelmed with issues that were slowly but surely overcoming me.

The friend that gave me the book actually had no idea the turmoil I was dealing with - we were friendly acquaintances at best.  But he recognized somehow that I was struggling and gifted me with Soul Proprietorship.  It didn't fix me, it didn't solve all my problems, it didn't give me pat answers to tough questions.

Instead, I got something so much more valuable to me than all of those things.  I got a physical manifestation of courage.  The more I read (and re-read), the more I thought about what I was reading and how Al's teachings correspond with who I am at the core of my being, I realized that I was holding in my hands what had been eluding me for so long.  Courage.  I have been afraid for as long as I can remember.  So long that it doesn't even occur to me most of the time that I operate from and make decisions based on fear.  So long that in the midst of all my personal turmoil, I was at a complete and utter loss as to where to turn, how to deal and how to manage this mess I felt I had created.

Soul Proprietorship spoke to me in a language I could understand.  Al's style is sincere, heartfelt, plain spoken and truly logical.  I decided to trust in his voice rather than the one in my head and it's serving me well.  What I learned more than anything is that it's not about fixing.  It's about being able to be present in your life and making the choice to deal with what comes your way.  Good, bad or indifferent.  Ask yourself out loud what is the worst possible thing that could happen if you made choices that completely correspond with who you are on the inside?  The real you.  The you that's maybe gotten lost.  I discovered that the worst possible thing isn't nearly as scary or daunting as I thought it was.

Someone handed me courage in the fall of 2009.  I am grateful.  I am paying that forward.

I've kept my Hexagram Journal since March 26, 1993. Other I Ching books have come into my life since then, but this is the one to which I always return, and sometimes that's after months of absence, but all the while I'm mindful that it's here, available to me. Sometimes the readings have been confusing, unsatisfying, and I realize that those are the times when I need to do the most introspection. At other times they've been so inspiring and uplifting that I've come to tears of joy and discovery. Whatever they are, I write them down, hoping that in retrospect, they'll form a map of my journey. I realize there is still so much I don't know about the I Ching, but that's one of the beauties of it, that we can take strength from it wherever we are on our path. I'm writing this review in simple gratitude to the author, R.L Wing.

I participated in one of the artists Free Full Moon meditations over the phone and at the end she opened the line for discussions. I was facing a particularly challenging diagnosis of skin cancer and the next day would be undergoing a MOHS Procedure to remove the lesion. Norma shared that this album was particularly good for clearing anesthesia and "hospital energies" from your system. I downloaded the MP3 of the Album and just loved the music. It was so uplifting. I listened to it several times the day before my procedure, during (the nurses and doctor were very intrigued when I shared what I was listening to--they actually asked) and I've continued. Now I am including it, along with "Open Heart Meditation", as part of my nightly bedtime ritual. It literally relaxes me and I've long suffered from insomnia. As the days go by, I'm finding it easier to drift into such a deep state of relaxation that the challenges of old are disappearing. I've even been able to cut back on the amount of Valerian root I've been taking to help me sleep.
What an absolutely marvelous album that helps with so many areas, but primarily healing and relaxation!

Oh how we all want calm and peace in this world today.....I happened across Danas Peace of Heaven posting on Facebook and now believe I did not just happen across it, I believe God led me there!
Now I am thrilled to hold this beautiful book in my hands and it is wonderful!

To begin I must explain myself for a moment. I've never been the person who "stays in bed all day reading a good book". I actually often tell of how reading is difficult for me and I can't seem to make myself do it even though I think books are wonderful. I have had a distinct disconnect with reading since fourth grade. I maybe read one book a year, or get a chapter or so in and give up... So, when I say that I sat up all night enthralled by a book to the point of words blurring before finally going to sleep at 8 am only to wake hours later hungering to finish my read, you can now understand the meaning of those words. I had known about this book for years and a hard copy had been perched on my desk staring at me for a about a year. It was a book I wanted badly to read, but, as foretold above, you can see my dilemma. One night I decided I would force myself to push past my disconnect with reading and delve into the pages I wanted so badly to experience. This was not hard as I became entranced. The story unwinding before me captured my attention and spoke softly to my heart as the life of Esther unwound. As I was reading I was filled with a peace that only comes from God and I don't have the ability to describe. Chana's heart - the Father's heart - is evident and unmistakable. I am so thankful for this piece of encouragement and love in the midst of decisions and circumstance facing me. Peace in the midst of a storm.

I'm looking for more peace in my life. I'm trying to train myself to be kinder and gentler me so that this will spill over to everything and everybody else in my life as well. This was a wonderful book to help men on this journey!! So easy to read. A nice, well written, Buddhism for dummies (if you will) type of book. Not at all condescending though. You can tell the the author really enjoys the topic and wants to help his readers learn. Well done!!

This book has given me back to myself, I no longer look at life through eyes corrupted by ego seeing a life needing to be solved but rather through a heart peaceful in knowing "I Am" home.

This book gave me a sense of the joy that I can experience if I truly live in the present moment. The humour of the author allowed me to see that I don't have to take my own spiritual journey so seriously.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in experiencing peace.
