Overview

The Gift of Unconditional Love is a self-help book in story form that teaches usable lessons based on enjoying the great gift we have been given, our hearts. Our heart is special because it is the center of peace, love, joy and happiness. It is the key to mental, emotional and spiritual growth. It is through the doorway of our heart that we can access our innate wisdom, an inner knowing we can rely on for clarity, guidance and insight. When you reflect back on the precious moments of life, how does it feel if you point to your head and say, "I was so touched"? Even your head knows this does not compute. However, it is natural to put your hand on your chest, and feel how you were deeply touched by that special moment. What is it that made that moment so special above the rest? It wasn't just the external circumstance. In that moment, the special and precious feeling was your direct connection with your heart. Over the entire span of our life, when all is said and done, it is these heartfelt experiences that provide the greatest sense of satisfaction, and joy. We are meant to live a heart-centered life, so that we live life to the fullest with abundant love and joy. This can only happen when our heart and mind are in proper alignment and working together as a team for our highest good. Our heart is the doorway to embrace the spiritual dimension of life because the core of our heart is connected to the True Source of Unconditional Love. This terminology is used as a "Universal" reference because our heart's connection to Unconditional Love exists for every person, regardless of culture, belief or religious preference. Since the Source of Unconditional Love is unlimited, and without any discrimination or conditions (or else it would not be Unconditional), it is referred to as the True Source of Unconditional Love. When our heart and mind are properly aligned and our hearts open, we become less emotionally reactive, more accepting of our own shortcomings, as well as those of others. We easily forgive and experience more gratitude, contentment and true joy in our life. In this story you will learn about very important key life lessons, and it will become clear that it is indeed our birthright to experience the Gift of Love. You will also come to understand why the title of this book is The Gift of Unconditional Love. This book was written as a tool for understanding that an open heart is the safest place to be, and the key to our happiness and fulfillment. Deep in our hearts, we all know it's time to let Love give us the best of the best so that we can awaken to be who we truly are. This is meant to be a natural process so that we can fulfill the spiritual dimension of life and live how we are designed to be. In order to integrate important key life lessons explored in the book, fifty self-reflection questions are included and can be enjoyed individually, in book clubs, or as part of a group designed to enhance well-being and spiritual fulfillment.
