Book Cover & Preview Text
"When something ends, something new begins. It is intrinsic to the process. Trust this process and do not seek to know the outcome when you are starting your journey. Once you discover the outcome it will be another ending and the cycle will begin again. This is the way of the world and this is renewal. Do not second guess your fate. Imagine your life as a journey. A road that you are walkiing on. A road that one day ends but not until you make many detours and arrive at many destinations.... There is no more to be gotten out of life. There is only a better life for those who strive and work to make it happen. You cannot take anything out of life, you can only put in or add to your own particular life and the lives of those with whom you intersect....The only things that can be taken from you are the things that are not yours. What belongs to you always belongs to you, no matter the outer circumstances. Let what wants to go, go. It will leave no matter how hard you fight....If you become bogged down by your past you will miss out on the truth of your life.

About the Book
Are you a traveler? When you travel with author Bette Ziegler, you will notice the glory that exists in the universe. Just as a tree grows from a seed, you grow from an idea, a gesture, or a touch. Growth is intrinsic to each moment, life is present in the smallest organism, and love is in the scent of a flower. All is contained in the whole and the whole is contained in an atom smaller than the heart. The heart is where true memory resides. The memory of who you are as opposed to who you think you are and who you think you should be. Put yourself in drive. You have the tools. What is keeping you from making the move? Secrets of the Self is a spiritual self-help book inspired by the great yoga master, Bhagawan Nityananda of India. A blend of western reasoning and eastern philosophy, it is an illumined guide to living in the moment and understanding why things happen the way they do. “Secrets of the Self is powerful, simple and full of sutra-like wisdom. I love it.” —Sally Kempton, author and columnist for Yoga Journal
