Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground: Words to Awaken your Heart
Anyone who has ever tried to write about the spiritual journey knows how hard it is to find words that are big yet humble enough, serious yet light enough, full of drama and awe yet also stripped down and naked. This little book pulls it off. Jeff Brown has a most marvelous way with words. You think you are reading a joke, and it turns into a profound realization. Or you are following a complex thought to completion and suddenly it blossoms into a song and dance. I love learning about life and truth and love and purpose through the wizardry of Jeffs words. I think you will too. --ELIZABETH LESSER, Co-host OPRAH'S 'Soul Series' radio, author of 'Broken Open' and 'The Seekers Guide'; Co-founder, Omega InstituteJeff Brown stirs the soulful imagination with words that encourage, challenge and remind us what we are and why we are here. His aphorisms- soulshaping nuggets for the journey- come from the heart of his experience. Enjoy! --ORIAH MOUNTAIN DREAMER, Bestselling author of 'The Invitation', 'The Call', 'The Dance'With great wisdom, depth, humor and warmth, Jeff Browns brilliant offering pierces through the veil of pretense, and brings us to our knees before the refreshing alter of authenticity. His musings manage to offer both an elevated, delightful and invigorating perspective as well as gift us with a grounded, solid pathway home to the most true and tender parts of ourselves. A heartwarming and heart-opening read, this beautiful little piece of art rekindles an almost childlike faith in the possibilities present, while reminding us to do the very real work to actualize them --KATHERINE WOODWARD THOMAS, bestselling author of Calling in 'The One'; and co-leader of the Feminine Power Global CommunityJeffs writings are so inspiring! His quotes wisely and warmly support our shared expansion, and his Apologies series brings men and women together in a healing process that we all must go through to be whole. We heartfully recommend this special book. --STEPHEN & ONDREA LEVINE, authors of 'Embracing the Beloved' and 'The Healing I took birth for'The book is fabulous- provocative, encouraging, and blazing with a clear-eyed truth that bows to no icons, only to the sweet, clear song of reality itself. There are enough sparks of wisdom in this book to ignite a blaze in the soul. Exhilarating, compassionate, in-sightful, these truth-soundings will vibrate in your being long after you have put them down. This is the kind of provocative companionship I cherish. --PHILIP SHEPHERD, author of 'New Self, New World: Recovering Our Senses in the Twenty-first Century'Ascending with both feet on the ground is a concrete and vital approach to personal evolution. The process of 'enrealment' is not for the faint of heart this is a serious commitment to standing in the purifying fire of a deeply discerning and ever-expanding personal awareness. Jeff Brown's call to consciousness is clear and direct as he cuts to the heart of the matter with his words of wisdom in this eloquent and engaging book of quotes and commentary. ----FREEMAN MICHAELS, Co-host of Cutting Edge ConsciousnessThis book is a breathtaking accumulation of offerings. It turns out that our greatest love affair is actually with our very own soul. With his written words and their subsequent echo through the center of the heart, Jeff Brown validates the inner journey, filled with both blustery canyons and snow-capped mountaintops, coupled with authentic external expression as the path to freedom. Rather than resist the paradoxes of life, we are invited to rest within them to know ourselves, full-out and full-on, as spirit-embodied. Savor each drop for this is as deliciously nitty-gritty as soul recognition gets! ----ANNIE BURNSIDE, award-winning author of 'Soul to Soul Parenting'Jeff Brown is the Spiritual Warrior our planet needs today. Truth  permeates his work and his authentic soul message hugs my open heart.  His wisdom will inspire you to not only take your step, but to reach the  luminous place inside your soul. --GRACE CIROCCO, Author, Take the Step, the Bridge will be There.An insightful, wide-ranging collection of navigational aids for the  path of awakening, with a special emphasis on grounded spirituality and  deep healing. ----Robert Augustus Masters, Author, 'Spiritual Bypassing', and 'Transformation through intimacy'
