A Deep Breath Of Life

“Take a deep breath of life, and consider how it should be lived”. This quote from Man of La Mancha sets the tone for this book, which offers daily inspiration for heart-centered living. Alan Cohen has touched the hearts and lives of thousands of people seeking more authenticity and creative self-expression in their lives.

How Good Can It Get?

Most of us were taught that to reach our goals, we have to work hard and fight every step of the way. But it’s simply not true.

This refreshing mix of feel-good, home-spun, universal truths will make you think, laugh, cry, and remind you that the answer to your quest is closer to home than you may know.

Cohen’s charming modern-day parable teaches us to overcome fear, relax, and enjoy the richness life has to offer. A mix of Paolo Coelho, Spencer Johnson, and Forrest Gump, it is a good tale about how to create the good life.

Angel In My Lens

Spiritual nature photos are seen not only with the eyes but, also with the soul. Truly feel the joy when a butterfly crawls on someone’s hand. Know the peace of the frog who is sunning himself on a rock. The excitement you would get when a small little Chickadee swoops down out of a tree to feed out of your hand. Watching a sunset no matter where you are, and not knowing what colors will be displayed for the evening’s canvas. To connect with nature you not only connect with your soul, you connect with God.

The Day My Soul Cried  

The journey from the depths of despair to an awakening of soul and spirit, has been a long and difficult one. The painful pattern of all types of abuse seemed endless. Until one day, when my soul cried. I began to see that how I perceived my life and my attitudes were crippling me as much as all my bad habits and the ugly things that happened to me. The realization that through forgiveness would prove to be a path to new confidence, new attitude, faith and a profound hope that by sharing my story, others may find courage and strength.

The Drama-Free Way 

“The Drama-Free Way: A Thought-Management Guide to Navigating Chaos and Thriving” , released November 16th, 2015, explains how drama in the world around us relates to the drama-thought patterns we can each sometimes fall into in our own minds–frequently a barrier to higher levels of consciousness. Through an elegant and playful weave of stories and content, the reader explores the underpinnings of drama, identifies where it comes from, why we have it, and how it works as an addiction. They also learn highly effective steps, habits, lifestyle practices, and transformational strategies to shift out of the drama paradigm and into authentic thriving, where we can all live with greater connection, fun and ease, elevated consciousness, and in alignment with our unique soul’s purpose.

Breaking My Silence Surviving and healing myself after years of secrecy, shame, and abuse

In this memoir, Maya Hope Kitwana exposes her truth; showing from the inside out what was required for her to survive her childhood nightmares. These nightmares no longer torment Maya Hope Kitwana. Her story provides a lighthouse for others who have suffered abuse. A way out to discover love. A strong word of caution-the material shared isn’t for everyone. Maya’s story is not just a recap of unflinching secrets. This is a graphic, yet fearless look at a woman’s journey through rape, incest, and abandonment-and her movement toward hope, healing, intimacy, and love. Maya charts a course that is painful and powerful. This work is about secrets and rage. It is about honesty and revenge. Despair. Faith. Kindness. Over thirty years of silence is too long.

The Lifestyle Fitness Program: A Six Part Plan So Every Mom Can Look, Feel and Live Her Best

How Fit is Your Lifestyle? To lose weight, you may hire a Registered Dietitian to design a healthy eating program. To get in shape, you may hire a Certified Personal Trainer to design a fitness program. True fitness however, is fitness from the inside out. That means that not only do you look better, but ALL aspects of your life are fit, healthy and whole. What about your emotions? Your stress level? Your relationships? Your spiritual needs? Unfortunately, when it comes to these aspects of health and wellness, we may either overlook them, or merely look for tips and suggestions. While advice in these categories can be extremely valuable, it’s not enough if we want to look, feel and live our best.

One-Step Spirituality: An Intro

We all have our life story. And so has the human race. We’ve evolved together, and right and wrong turns are experienced collectively. This essay focuses on one of those wrong turns and the collective desire to correct our course. The wrong turn is one of language and thought leading us in the wrong direction and then blocking the return path behind us. The correction is turning to a spiritual outlook that can transform our way of living in the world.

Paradise and Promises – Chronicles of my life with a self-declared, modern-day Buddha

An ordinary woman’s insightful and poetic narrative of enchantment and intoxication, hangover and victory in a cult: compelling reading for those interested in power and dependence, choice and responsibility.

Marlowe Sand recollects 15 years pursuing spiritual freedom as a student of guru Andrew Cohen. For a wife and mother from the remote English countryside, meeting a modern-day, radical Buddha bore extreme consequences. Sand captures the interior experience of being drawn ever deeper into the cult of a charismatic and despotic guru. She invites the reader to share her journey from love and liberation to painful alienation and, finally, disillusionment. Sand doesn’t blame; instead she paints a picture of a complex, dangerous phenomenon. While she is unambiguous about the destructive nature of the community and each participant’s responsibility for its co-creation, Sand’s reckoning is ultimately with herself. Paradise and Promises is a spiritual memoir only by coincidence. More importantly, it is a reflection on choices, consequences and reconciliation.

Sand writes using a nom de plume to protect her family.
