This Moment Is Your Miracle: Spiritual Tools to Transcend Fear and Experience the Power of the Present Moment

by David Hoffmeister, Alan Cohen (Foreword by)

Overview

Written by a world-renowned teacher of A Course in Miracles, this book reveals the profound power of the present moment and shows how tapping into it using practical insights and simple exercises can fortify your spirit against fear, break down perceived limitations and your sense of separation, and help you manifest a life of joy, oneness, and serenity.

We all feel isolated and afraid sometimes, but the truth is, we’re never really alone. Indeed, as author and spiritual teacher David Hoffmeister points out, it is the deeply ingrained belief that you are separate from everything—that you’re on your own, there is reason to be afraid, and you might not be worthy—that prevents you from living the joyful life you long for. So, how can you begin to untangle the thoughts and feelings that keep you trapped in your own egoic fears?

This Moment Is Your Miracle addresses this painful yet widespread belief in separation, peeling back the layers of misperception to uncover the divine oneness at the heart of reality, through which we are all connected. You’ll find spiritual practices and tools to help you awaken from the nightmare of fear and isolation, and practical ways to cultivate acceptance, forgiveness, healing, and trust—for healing yourself, your relationships, and the world.

With this book as your guide, you’ll learn how to trust your inner guidance and accept life’s miracles, and find true freedom and peace of mind. There has never been a better time than now.
