From The Core

What if the life you have been searching for was never somewhere else?What if it has been here all along - waiting, quietly and patiently, in the most neglected place you carry?The heart. Not the heart as metaphor. Not the heart as feeling. But the heart as the most significant interior reality a human being possesses - the place where divine light is designed to reside, where the unseen help is recognized, where the life that feels miraculous becomes not just possible but inevitable.
From the Core is a book about tending the most precious thing you carry. Drawing on the wisdom of the Sufi tradition - Rumi, Al Ghazali, Ibn Ata Allah, Rabia al Adawiyya - and written in the voice of a fellow traveler rather than a teacher, this book takes you on a complete journey. From understanding what the heart truly is, to what dims it, to what brings it back to light. The coincidences that were never coincidences.
The help that was always there. The life saturated with meaning that has been available all along - to the heart that is clean enough to receive it. This is not a self-help book. It is companionship - the quiet, luminous company of someone who has walked the same path and wants to share what the light has shown her. Your heart has been waiting. Come home.
