A Soft Landing after a Bumpy Ride (eBook, ePUB)

Making Friends with the Inner Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Most of our time is spent with the outer life -- our jobs, our friends and families, our hobbies, or our health. We spend much less time with the inner life, that place of feelings and thoughts, anger and love, hopes and dreams. When we do spend time with the inner life, it can often be overwhelming and disruptive, taking over our lives with feelings of hopelessness and fear or with endless ruminations about our past and worries about our future. In the practices of this book, we learn how to make friends with our inner life, to reconnect with ourselves, others, our world, and with God. We learn to have productive conversations with three specific inner voices: our separated self who lives in a world of scarcity and fear, our connected self who lives in an expansive world of abundance and compassion, and the watcher who stands apart from all the conflicting conversations going on in the inner life. The watcher decides how then shall we live. With a little time and some practice, we can bring our inner turmoil to a peaceful resolution and live a life that is safe, joyful, focused, and filled with compassion.

Autorenporträt

For 42 years, the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Ortloff, as pastor and spiritual director, walked with many people in times of crisis. Seven months after his retirement, Charles had his own crisis. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. There would be no cure. He was no longer the one giving help but the one in need of help. Charles soon realized that he needed to listen more carefully to his heart and mind, both the good stuff and the bad stuff. As he practiced an inner listening, he discovered his way out of the fog of his crisis and into a place of peace and safety. After a long, bumpy ride, Charles found his path to a soft landing.
