Amongst them Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. Of living teachers of Buddhism, material by Thich Nhat Hanh,the Dalai Lama has been included here, among many others. Katinka Hesselink

DAILY INSPIRATION on Spiritual Growth - StumbleUpon free buddhist audio : free mp3s and texts on buddhism, meditation and the arts Drink, Meditate, Date: Finding yourself post break-up The self help industry is huge. Buy this book, go to that seminar…even the movies show that finding yourself takes an obscene amount of money. One of the most spectacular examples is the movie and novel; Eat Pray Love. Now, I admit that I really enjoyed both the novel and movie. I found it a fascinating experience but unfortunately for most of us in the real world, a completely unattainable mission. In the beginning I could only take life in bite sized portions; refusing to focus beyond the day to day. I had a healthy, bright daughter. Check. I had a fabulous career with amazing colleagues that praised me on my good days and carried me on my bad days. I had a supportive family that checked on me and encouraged me. I had my health. I had incredibly supportive friends. Drink. Meditate. Date. Traveling the world would be a fantastic opportunity for anyone but it is not required in order to rediscover who you are.
