by Michele Rae

Overview

Living From the Center Within is a highly engaging, interactive, informative and accessible journey toward higher consciousness. Moving from personal pain and lacking to abundance and wholeness is possible. Living From the Center Within helps readers center, quiet and open the mind-body-heart. Using the wisdom of ancient teaching and modern science, invitations to daily transformative practice and reflection questions, Rae walks with readers through three levels of human consciousness. Expanding awareness, focusing attention and clarifying intention brings people to their center within.

Living from one’s true nature amplifies creativity and benefits the personal and professional life. It also has collective impact culturally, politically and economically as people become more effective at service, relationships and work. Living From the Center Within explains how minds, bodies and emotions are intertwined, and gives the reader tools to move toward a healthier self. It is for people eager to actualize their beings and fall in love with their lives. You can live full out and fearlessly from a sense of calm, joy, and peace. With increased awareness, we naturally shift toward transparency, compassion, tolerance and interdependence. Now is the time for humanity to claim a higher level of consciousness for personal and communal growth.

Editorial Reviews

Michele Rae is a synthesist, a deeply compassionate human being, a transformation artist, and a master at operating from a place of light and inspiration. Living from the Center Within creates an embodied experience of the transformation toward higher conscious that Rae describes. She presents a solid synthesis of what we know from the fields of neuroscience, mind-body science, and consciousness studies. But it is in the gentle unfolding of her process that we experience a glimpse of what it means to live from a place of interconnectedness or even an infinite, pure awareness state.

Cindy Wilcox

"This book combines the loving wisdom of the Dalai Lama, the generous kindness of Mother Teresa, and the brilliant insights of Deepak Chopra. It would be a stroke of genius—and necessity—to make Living from the Center Within part of the core curriculum of every K through 12 school in America."

Bill Manahan

Michele Rae skillfully condenses the stages of conscious evolution into individual, interconnected, and infinite consciousness. With each leap in consciousness there is a corresponding boon to the individual and culture.

Elliott Dacher

Michele Rae has crafted a recipe for the times. Drawing from her extensive education, personal growth, and credentialed world experience, she has extracted the mystical beating heart of all religions, healing ways, and sacred philosophies. From this she has managed to keep intact hundreds of different languagings and systems of understanding and distill them into a concise, complete, and abbreviated path for today's seeker. For all who would improve their life, the life of the greater community, and that of the planet, this is the go-to book and a must read.
