Book Description
Waking Spirit Dreams A book about the awakening of the spirit within and the illumination that comes from reconnecting with the forces of creation. Poetry helped me to realize that we can be healed through cleansing our karma. By letting out my deep and innermost feeling through poetry I was able to sort thorough my problems and awaken my Spirit's Dreams. I've learned to let go of the unforgiveness that ailed my heart. I've healed my mind, soul and body living through loves qualities. I've forgiven myself for everything I've ever held against myself, as it is our God given right to be forgiven for everything, no matter what we've done. When I let go of the past and began to live in the moment a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder and I felt ten pounds lighter! By being humble I was able to open my heart through the golden flame of God's love. I am thankful for poetry as it has opened many doors for me. I hope you enjoy!

Pages : 273

Book Description
Matthew Sanford's inspirational story about the car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down is a superbly written memoir of healing and journey—from near death to triumphant life. Matt Sanford's life and body were irrevocably changed at age 13 on a snowy Iowa road. On that day, his family's car skidded off an overpass, killing Matt's father and sister and left him paralyzed from the chest down, confining him to a wheelchair. His mother and brother escaped from the accident unharmed but were left to pick up the pieces of their decimated family. This pivotal event set Matt on a lifelong journey, from his intensive care experiences at the Mayo Clinic to becoming a paralyzed yoga teacher and founder of a nonprofit organization. Forced to explore what it truly means to live in a body, he emerges with an entirely new view of being a "whole" person. By turns agonizingly personal, philosophical, and heartbreakingly honest, this groundbreaking memoir takes you inside the body, heart, and mind of a boy whose world has been shattered. Follow Sanford's journey as he rebuilds from the ground up, searching for "healing stories" to help him reconnect his mind and his body. To do so, he must reject much of what traditional medicine tells him and instead turn to yoga as a centerpiece of his daily practice. He finds not only a better life but also meaning and purpose in the mysterious distance that we all experience between mind and body. In Waking, Sanford delivers a powerful message about the endurance of the human spirit and of the body that houses it.
