Love Is for Giving, Not for Getting

Nirmala’s newest e-book points to the true source of love in your own heart. It is by giving love that we are filled with love. Here is an excerpt from the Introduction:

“What is love and where is it found? We search for love and try to get love, and yet it seems like we never get enough. Even when we have found love, it can slip away as time passes. What if there is a source of love that never fades and is always available? What if love is as near and easy as breathing? What if we have been “looking for love in all the wrong places” instead of actually lacking love?

Love is both simpler and more mysterious and subtle than we have imagined it to be. Love is very simply the spacious, open attention of our awareness. Awareness itself is the gentlest, kindest, and most intimate force in the world. It touches things without impinging on them. It holds all of our experience but doesn’t hold it down or hold it back. And yet, inherent in awareness is a pull to connect and even merge with the object of our awareness.”

From the Heart: Dropping out of Your Mind and Into Your Being

From the Heart offers simple ways to shift into a more open and allowing perspective and to experience your true nature as aware space. Here is an excerpt from the Introduction:

“You may think it matters what happens. But what if the only thing that matters is where you are experiencing from, where you are looking from? What if you could experience all of life from a spacious, open perspective where anything can happen and there is room for all of it, where there is no need to pick and choose, to put up barriers or resist any of it, where nothing is a problem and everything just adds to the richness of life? What if this open, spacious perspective was the most natural and easy thing to do?

It may sound too good to be true, but we all have a natural capacity to experience life in this way. The only requirement is to look from the Heart instead of from the eyes and the head—and not just to look, but to listen and feel and sense from the Heart.”

The Heart’s Wisdom

In this short booklet, Nirmala points the reader back to the Heart, the truest source of wisdom. Here is an excerpt:

“The Heart is wise and accurate and can show you how true it is to stay or go, how true it is to buy a house, how true it is to take a new job, even how true it is to eat another cookie. But it also can show you much more of the possibilities inherent in this life and much more of the truth of your ultimate Being. In relation to these bigger truths, the practical questions of your life turn out to be relatively small matters. Using your Heart only to know things like what to do or where to live is like using a global positioning satellite system to find the way from your bedroom to your bathroom; it utilizes only a small part of your Heart’s capacity.

However, following your Heart day in and day out can put you in touch with the richness of the functioning of this dimension of your Being. Along the way, you may also find your Heart opening in response to the deeper movements of Being that touch every life.”

Nothing Personal, Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self

Nothing Personal: Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self. In this concisely edited collection of satsang talks and dialogues, Nirmala “welcomes whatever arises within the field of experience. In the midst of this welcoming is always an invitation to inquire deeply within, to the core of who and what you are. Again and again, Nirmala points the questions back to the questioner and beyond to the very source of existence itself—to the faceless awareness that holds both the question and the questioner in a timeless embrace.” –From the Foreword by Adyashanti.

Testimonials about Nothing Personal:

“Nothing Personal: Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self is an excellent book, very clear and warm-hearted. I love it and recommend it highly. Nirmala is a genuine and authentic teacher, who points with great clarity to the simplicity and wonder of nondual presence. He invites you to say yes to the mystery of every moment. Good stuff!”

–Joan Tollifson, Advaita teacher and author of Awake in the Heartland

Radiance: Experiencing Divine Presence

This short book (65 pages) is about experiencing the Divine in the world. It was given to Gina Lake by her nonphysical teacher, Theo, who is a collective consciousness on the mid-causal plane. She has been receiving teachings and guidance from Theo since 1990. Theo is also available for consultations, which are described on her website: www.radicalhappiness.com.

From the Preface:

“Many of you already realize your oneness with the Divine and All That Is. You already know that you are much vaster than who you think you are. It is possible to experience the mysterious truth about yourself by paying close attention to the many signs that reveal this great Mystery. The purpose in writing this is to point out these clues so that you can more easily recognize yourself as the Divine—that which is creating and has created this you that you think you are and all that this you is experiencing.”
