The Six Sacred Gifts: Everyday wisdom for the spiritual seeker

There are six core aspects of the spiritual journey that are a common, if not essential, part of almost everyone's experience: Surrender, Change, Presence, Resistance, Trust and Service. There is no set order in which we encounter these aspects, yet at some point in the journey, we do encounter them. And although they may seem basic at first glance, they are not. The challenge is that these six core aspects can easily become obstacles that stop you when you don't understand their role in your journey. Yet when you can see them for what they are - road signs along your path - you can more easily find your way to where you want to go. In The Six Sacred Gifts, you are shown where each of these road signs is pointing so you can understand what they mean and maximize your journey. It helps you stay steady on your course when all you are certain of is that you no longer want what you have (Surrender) yet you don't know how to get where you want to go (Change). As you turn your attention away from what you know and give it to the unknown (Presence), you may become afraid, confused or stuck (Resistance). With awareness, heart and courage you can find your way along your path to what's real (Trust) and begin to live your life from a true place of joy and love (Service). Where do you start? How do you start? How do you know you are on the right path? How can you be sure that what you seek is real, that it exists? These are the kinds of questions that The Six Sacred Gifts explores with you. Whether you are new to your path or far along, in familiar territory or treading on completely new soil, this book is like a trusted companion you can lean into for company, guidance and direction on your yellow brick road. You’ll find you want to keep it close, if not in your back pocket.
