How About Taking Care of Yourself?

Introduction

The only intention to write this book is to share, with all the people who read it, how I discovered a new healthier and better way of living as a consequence of various sad and difficult moments I lived. These difficult and sad experiences that I will mention, slowly and silently damaged my emotional health drowning me into a depression from which I came out successfully, thanks to a proper medical treatment and the discovery of spiritual wisdom. I want to share with you how now I am physically, mentally and spiritually healthier by shifting old habits into new habits which I learned from the wisdom of several spiritual traditions, and how they have taught me to take better care of myself. I think learning about these habits can help improve the health and well being of many people suffering from depression or any other emotional or physical disease.

My book is not only addressed to people who is going through depression; it is a book that can help any person dealing with poor emotional and/or physical health, which unfortunately are most of the human beings in this planet, although many of them they don´t even know it. It will tell you how to take care of yourself practicing pure and powerful spiritual wisdom. It is a book that can also help anyone struggling with life challenges, and anyone who does not know how to nurture its body, mind and soul on a regular basis. It is basically addressed to all those who lack any kind of self care and thus, have a soul emergency and may or may be not aware of it.

This is not a medical book, it only describes what has helped me for my healing, hoping it can help others in their own healing and spiritual growth. Also it is important to mention that is not a religious book, it is just a book that talks about a spiritual path that can be experienced by anyone, no matter their religious beliefs, as long as they are open to recognize that we are all a Divine creation, full of magical tools within us that are there to help us heal, thrive and live in more harmony. In this path that is available to all of us, you will discover that we all are able to have a more whole and abundant life by changing some wrong day to day habits that we are used to live with, and that have lead us to the exact opposite direction of spiritual growth.

You will find out how and why I ended up with a clinical depression and how I discovered a spiritual path that helped enormously to my recovery, leaving behind the use of antidepressants, and more importantly the practice of wrong habits.

Then, as you keep on reading you will understand why I now say that in my 44 years of life, I have been born twice, one biologically 44 years ago, and the other spiritually 3 years ago, when at age 41 a “new spiritual me” was slowly born.

When you read this book, you will understand that we all have very important spiritual needs that need to be attended in order to really take care of ourselves. You will be able to discover the magic of being in contact with your inner self so you can attend those needs and feel the enormous benefits it brings to us to listen to that inner self and nurture it, so you will never forget about it. You will understand that happiness is not determined by what is happening around you, but rather by what is happening within you. You will learn to be in touch with your wise inner self, which will bring you peace and will teach you, among other things, that you can be stronger, healthier, wiser and happier. As my personal story includes grief, you will also learn the importance of grieving well in order to live well.

You will unlearn wrong habits that all of us were taught since we were kids and will learn to practice healthier ones. You will learn the basic habits I think are necessary to be practiced as often as possible to take appropriate care of yourself.

I am sure that you, as all human beings, have had or has difficult times, but I am sure these habits will help you deal with them in a different and wiser way.

I believe the reason the majority of us are facing soul emergencies, is a consequence of having no schools or teachers that taught us anything about the care of our soul, our feelings or our emotions. We never learned that taking care of them properly is a must to have a healthy and happy life. I hope this book can help as many people as possible to change their wrong habits, as this the only way we will be able to heal ourselves and our society. We all need love and kindness, and in order to be able to give it, we need to first feel it by feeding our souls daily, otherwise we cant give what we don’t have.

At the end of the book and through it, I will be sharing information of my favorite books, my favorite spiritual teachers and all the material that has helped me in this journey, which hopefully can also help you.
