Well over 20 years ago I met 
an intuitive named Jeffrey Wands. He opened up a new world to me in many ways. I was certainly on a path of self exploration, but he challenged me to go deeper into my intuition. To trust, have more faith in myself and believe in the power of hope. We’ve been friends ever since.
So when he asked me to contribute a chapter to his latest book published by Simon and Schuster’s Atria division, Knock and the Door Will Open: 6 Keys to Mastering the Art of Living, I was more than happy to participate.
For the last year we’ve often discussed the “life keys” he felt were important to master ones life, which included maintaining ones emotional and physical health. For me, it means striving to be happier in our careers and work lives in general. Working toward better work life balance seems an elusive quest for most of us.
Through my lens, certainly getting a handle on your work life experience is a crucial part of our existence. After all, we spend more than half of our daily lives working, and facing the challenges and navigating the relationships and information overload that go along with it.
For the last decade I’ve been writing about shifting the culture in the workplace and in business by reducing stress; more specifically using personal development and breath work techniques. Jeffrey’s book gave me the opportunity to share some of that work. Here’s a link to a post I wrote a while back that was the basis for my chapter in the book.
Taking an Office Break to Meditate
The 6 Keys to Mastering the Art of Living
For a taste of what’s inside Jeffrey’s new book and his other two books click here.
The title: Knock and the Door Will Open implies that we have to do the work to make positive changes in our lives. It’s not just about waving a magic wand to manifest happier and more successful lives. Hope is a good start, but putting one foot in front of the other toward lasting change is our responsibility. Taking charge of our existence toward our goals.
In his book, Jeffrey offers 6 Keys to get you on a more productive path. It’s left to your interpretation to a degree, as most guidance is. But the first step is acknowledging that change is needed in order to evolve. A teacher once told me that once the decision is made toward change, the doing becomes effortless. That along with focus and commitment goes a long way.
#1 Evaluate Yourself:
#2 Gather your soul mates
#3 Make sure your home is your castle
#4 Bring more posperity into your life
#5 Seek more spiritual strength
#6 Maintain your emotional and physical health
As I’m in the book, it was a gift. I have a personal interest in it. But I would encourage you to take a look at the perennial wisdom Jeffrey has to offer. Meantime, what do you think the keys to mastering life are? Please share.
