End Your Story, Begin Your Life is an inspiring, life-transforming
guide to the depth of inner freedom also known as awakening,
enlightenment, or self-realization. Through his words and his
presence on every page, Jim Dreaver teaches the revolutionary
three-step practice that helps you awaken to the peace, love, and
creative joy within you:
Step 1: Be Present With Your
Experience Normally we deny, resist, or try to push away
unwanted experiences, but if you are in conflict, upset, or
suffering, you must learn to be present with it, to feel it out,
even welcome it. After all, it is showing you where you are not yet
free. Ask yourself: “What am I experiencing right now?”
Step 2:
Notice The Story Be aware of the reactive emotion, whether it
is stress, self-doubt, guilt, anger, jealousy, loneliness, anxiety,
depression, or fear, and then notice the story, belief, or thought
behind it. There always is one. The mind generates your emotions.
It may be a story from the past triggering the reaction, or a fear
of something in the future.
Step 3: See The Truth Now take a
deep, slow breath, and relax. Continue to be with the feeling, but
don’t create a new story around it. Notice how the story or thought
is always changing. It comes and it goes, but “you,” as an aware
being, are ever-present.
