title: Living From The Heart
author:  Nirmala 
description: The spiritual Heart within each of us is the true source of love, peace, joy, wisdom, strength, and fulfillment. Everything that really matters is found within our own Being. The book, Living from the Heart, is designed to lead readers very gradually and yet deeply into experiences of this inner wisdom and capacity for love. Readers can follow the pointers and exercises in the book and directly experience for themselves the limitless joy and love in their own Being. It is profoundly freeing to find that everything that really matters in life is already here inside of us. What a relief to know that peace, wisdom, and fulfillment are always available if we just know where to look. What a gift it can be to the world when we discover that we can freely give our love and attention to everyone and everything we encounter without ever running out of love or attention.<br /><br />The first part of the book, From the Heart: Dropping out of Your Mind and Into Your Being introduces the reader to the spiritual Heart and the capacity it gives us to look out at the world with an open, loving, and complete perspective. It offers simple ways to shift into a more open and accepting perspective and to experience your true nature as aware space. <br /><br />The second part, The Heart's Wisdom, shows how the Heart is truly wise and how it can guide us in everyday decisions. This section points the reader back to their own Heart, the truest source of wisdom.<br /><br />Finally, the third part of the book, Love Is for Giving, Not for Getting, shows a simple way to love in a truly unconditional way. It guides the reader to discover that the true source of love is in your own heart. It is by giving love that we are filled with love.
