Beschreibung

"...a profound, deep awakening and inspiration..."
On our life's journey there are major turning points. Falling, fracturing her hip, and then having surgery were experiences that forced Barbara Sinor to travel an unknown path. These experiences took her beyond her normal life to exploring emotions and thoughts in foreign regions. While Barbara was confined to a rehabilitation facility to recover, her inner journey took her through territories of fear, doubt, pain, guilt, and down other emotional paths. Regardless of your personal struggle, the lessons in Inspirational Musings offer courage and insights to awaken and transform.
"Drawing on words from many teachers and adding her own honest stories and reflection during a time of convalescence, Barbara offers us a small book to dip into when we want to go deeper, when we need to find healing for this moment. Inspirational Musings is a book to slip into your pocket or bag as you travel the journey that is taken by human beings."
--Oriah "Mountain Dreamer" House, author, The Invitation
"Sinor's poetic musings around topics such as Compassion, Suffering, Beauty, Joy, Awakening, and Faith not only inspire us, but awaken our souls to discover meaning and purpose both during and after our pain."
--Holli Kenley, M.A., MFT, author, Daughters Betrayed By Their Mothers
"Reading this booklet of insights reached up and grabbed me within the first few pages. I experienced a profound, deep awakening and inspiration of some buried feelings I didn't know existed within my being."
--Reverend Peggy Tennent, Astara

Foreword

Reading Inspirational Musings: Insights Through Healing reminded me of when I first began practicing meditation nearly thirty years ago. Much like the students I now teach, I experienced the discomfort of fear, guilt, anger, loneliness and other strong emotions that had been successfully avoided for most of my life. I found the author relaying similar feelings of discomfort, as well as those of insight and discovery. In developing a curiosity about the feelings that arise while reading this booklet, you will discover the author creates an open space to befriend her emotions, and the truth unfolds before her. She shares her journey from discomfort to eventually accepting all her life experiences as beautiful gifts. Through this process, we are invited to discover all that we are and all we have experienced in life, nothing more.

The author, with her usual creative wit walks us through her post-surgical days allowing us a glimpse into the various mind-states that one would inevitably go through after hip surgery. She explores issues of loneliness, grief, and boredom until discovering new friendships with clouds, trees, and birds. Barbara shows us that embracing all parts of ourselves can create real and lasting happiness in each day as it comes. The brevity of descriptive title names, such as “Coping” “Patience” “Hope” and “Awakening” display her inner conflicts and emotional fluctuations on any given day.

Through prose and missives there is an occasion offered to look outside a window that can create an opportunity to make choices to color, view, and approach our lives in a positive light. The author’s decision to mingle her poetry with quotes from those of great thinkers was a bold move that effectively paints a clear portrait of the ebb and flow of the emotional stages she moved through when forced to be without her physical independence. You will be gently carried along the author’s stream of thoughts, day dreams, and sudden epiphanies to touch a place in the heart.
