This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings,
So love, love, love.

Beautiful beings of Gaia...
The last gem of the week (and oh, we've had a wonderful one!) is a bonus chapter from the just-released book
Free to Love, Free to Heal .
Free to Love, Free to Heal is the work of Dr. David Simon, co-founder and medical director of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. He's one of those rare humans who happens to be fluent in the languages of both western medicine and spiritual holism, and I've been touched and inspired to see how he draws on both in his latest book.
And the bonus chapter, Living in Love, is a perfect example. It's filled with soulful exercises (for instance, David asks you to take a moment to imagine that you love someone with every cell in your body, and how wonderfully healing and relaxing it feels... and then asks you to consider what it could be like if you could harbor that level of love for
yourself), outlines the levels of human fulfillment, and offers a beautiful set of ingredients for the most magnificent life you can imagine--all with the same profound compassion and authenticity that characterizes the rest of the book.
Just visit the Free to Love, Free to Heal site to download the pages. And, of course, if you enjoy them, I'd highly recommend getting a
copy of the book itself . This is another of those I can't quite bring myself to give away. :)
To love, and health, and that sweet sense of freedom that leads not to irresponsibility, but instead an open and undefended heart..
