February Meeting

On February 15, we will be finishing "Living Buddha, Living Christ" and "Same Soul, Many Bodies." If it's your first time coming to an event and you only have time to read a little of one of the books, that's perfectly fine. You are still welcome to come and enjoy talking to like-minded people.

About the books: Many people would say that Thich Nhat Hanh is not only the best Buddhist author of all time but that he bridges the cultural divide between East and West better than anyone else. He succeeds in doing this the most with the title "Living Buddha, Living Christ." Many Buddhists and Hindus speak as if enlightenment or liberation is impossible. They say you can really only pray for yourself and others to obtain it in the next life. Thich Nhat Hanh, however, emodies that transformation. He lives, breathes, and speaks in a way that inspires you in a calm yet powerful way to live from the place of stillness and compassion that is always there for you at your core when you make the effort to gently embrace your emotions with true awareness and quiet your mind. There is a reason I chose him to be the first author for the book club.

Dr. Brian Weiss is a prestigious psychiatrist who was an atheist who stumbled upon past life therapy in his psychiatry and hypnotherapy practice. In his fifth and best book, "Same Soul, Many Bodies," clients come in from various walks of life with seemingly impossible situations. They are emotionally and mentally overwhelmed by life and feel they are trapped by problems they cannot escape. Dr. Weiss discusses their problems then uses hypnosis to take them into past and future lives to find the source of and solution to their psychological issues. The healing transformations that take place in these true stories is both fascinating and profoundly motivating for readers. Weiss is the most famous practitioner of past life hypnosis and has appeared on Oprah. You can see some of these appearances on YouTube.
