"PROVIDES A GUIDED TOUR OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL AWAKENING... POWERFUL, POWERFUL WRITING, I LOVED IT." -- Wayne Dyer, author of You'll See It When You Believe It In this enlightening book, renowned author and mind-body therapist Joan Borysenko reveals the power of spiritual optimism: a philosophy that sees life crises as opportunities for personal growth and spiritual transformation. Drawing on her own experiences -- and those of her therapy patients -- she shows how meditation, prayer, and heightened awareness can illuminate the "dark night of the soul." This is when the soul is on fire, fueled by despair. Yet this same soul burns with an inner flame that can consume negativity, allowing a new soul to be born. But the terrain is dark and most of us need a little light to see our way. Fire in the Soul is that light. Its practical wisdom will inspire you to shed self-blame, heal childhood wounds, gain strength from adversity, and tap into the love that is everywhere. WITH ELOQUENCE AND ELEGANCE, DR. JOAN BORYSENKO LEADS US GENTLY TO A PLACE OF INFINITF CREATIVITY, INFINITE BLISS, COMPLETE SELF-SUFFICIENCY, AND PURE POTENTIALITY. FIRE IN THE SOUL WlLL CHANGE YOU AND YOUR WORLD FOREVER. -- Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Unconditional Life, Quantum Healing, and Perfect Healing
