Since I had my first big enlightenment, I’ve been communicating the truth of what I discovered is people’s true nature. I’ve been speaking about and developing exercises to enable people to discover that nature for themselves, their unchanging and everlasting soul.
For 20 years, I’ve had a story the discovery of your soul in my mind, and I’ve been looking for the right way to tell it. I thought it would be best shown with pictures for people to really understand. Pictures stimulate the imagination and make the abstract concrete. But I could never find the right artist to draw the right pictures until last year.
Finally, I found a woman from South Korea named Jisu Han to create winsome illustrations of what I call the bird of the soul. She is a Dahn Yoga practitioner and dreams a world where all life forms dance together in oneness. Because she has experienced her true nature through her training, the illustrations she hand-painted for my book express that nature eloquently. The message of the soul I want to share is imbued in the clear and sensitive expression of the drawings. I’m very grateful to have found her.
Now in this book, I tell the story of a man named Jay and his relationship with his soul, symbolized by a sweetly, singing bird. Traveling life’s journey with Jay, you rediscover what is most precious and important, and the wisdom, meaning, and potential that come from your soul.
By representing your soul as a bird, you can more easily visualize and meet with your soul in meditation. With the joy of discovering a long-lost friend, you can lay down the burdens that disconnect you from your soul in your daily life and return to the freedom of the innocence of childhood.
With Bird of the Soul, I hope you hear the voice of your soul always singing its love and support to you. In a way, Jay’s story is my story, and I believe it is many people’s story. That’s why I included a 21-day meditation journal and a guided meditation CD to help you bring the story of Jay and his soul bird into your own life. My heart sings and I am so excited to share this book with you.
