Waking Up to the Heart of Care:
Essays On How To Maintain Your Kindness and Compassion,
Even in the Midst of Challenging Situations

What stops you from sharing your kind heart?

Fear? Hurt? Habit?

What stops you from living from your deepest,
most open and loving place?

Why not this moment now?

Waking Up to the Heart of Care examines our difficulty with staying connected to our most basic of experiences, much less our difficult times when we feel vulnerable, reactive, and overwhelmed.

Stress, pressure, distractions, weariness, frustration.

These difficult experiences can lead to emotional reactivity, regression, drama, loss of perspective, and eventually and regrettably, immaturity.

But...

There is a very basic and workable solution to these problems. This solution not only renders all of those problems obsolete, it also opens us to our greatest joys and our deepest gifts.

Are You Finally Ready To Step Into
The Depths of Your Life?

If so, I want to expose you to a vision that suggests:
Wake Up! You don't HAVE a life, you ARE life.

Waking Up to LIFE!
The Art & Skill of Awakened Attention

A Guide for Awakening to the Power,
Presence and Passion of the Living Moment

Unconscious, unaware, oblivious, lost ... asleep.

Much of humanity spends its waking hours with eyes open, yet in a state of greatly
diminished awareness as the natural beauty and magic of Life goes by unnoticed and unlived.

In this long awaited book, Aaron outlines what he suggests is one of the greatest causes of unnecessary suffering currently plaguing mankind.

When attention is weak, distracted and captivated by mental activity, the suffering is
insidious, relentless and Life depriving. This is the asleep state and is responsible for humanity at its worst, its most destructive, its most deadly, its most tragic.

When you become aware of how much of your Life you spend asleep, a glorious new possibility opens. You can begin to awaken to a completely new way of seeing and being. Your Life will take on the depths and colors of a Life you have been missing, but have secretly longed for.

Filled with insight, practicality, humor and grit, Waking Up to Life gives voice to your deeper heart, sometimes calling you gently, sometimes calling you harshly, but always calling you to awaken to your birthright and embrace Life in its totality. You are alive AS Life!

Inside the book: 300 pages outlining one man's gritty, instructive and amusing journey from living the life of a sleeper, lost in the busy mind, to a life dedicated to the awakening of attention and understanding.

Full of provocative points of view as well as loads of experiential practices designed to awaken you to who you are and what you might become.

Pssst... You Awake?

RUTHLESS WORDS
Unsentimental Quotations
From The World's Wisdom Sources

(For those who have had their fill of 'Chicken Soup', and would like to taste reality)

The popular mainstream notion that spirituality is about self-improvement and nice-ism is demolished by a plethora of quotations from a variety of wisdom sources, on topics ranging from the self-concept, belief systems, false suffering and life, to compassion, choice, unconsciousness and death.

Kind words often fail to hit the mark, and are given mouth service out of fear of speaking truthfully from the heart. Unexamined assumptions, hand-me-down dogmas and second hand beliefs populate the programmed mind.

Ruthless Words will jolt you awake with an honesty and passion that will force you to look more closely at the views that inform your way of living, seeing and being. You can never go back again and you will never want to.

Inside the book: 70 pages packed with rare, tell-it-like-it-is quotations that do not inspire, comfort or instill hope, but rather shock, provoke and challenge everything you thought you knew.

Also contains commentary on such topics as crazy wisdom, idiot compassion, false freedom, mediocrity and the delusion of normalcy.

This is the ugly, painful truth, like you've never seen it before.

Warning: This book is not recommended for anyone looking for warm fuzzies, self esteem, chicken soup or inspiration.
