Synopsis

The inner self, usually ignored, is a source of on-going wisdom, meaning, and direction. By comparison, our outer mind is like a pebble resting within the great expanse of the Grand Canyon. When these aspects of ourselves are viewed as split we fall prey to symptoms like depression, confusion, and meaninglessness. When we recognize and foster the unity of these two selves, we are more focused and confident. The Pebble and the Canyon will: Help you awaken each morning anticipating what you are creating, rather than worrying about what you fear; Support you through lifes rough and unpredictable changes, including those of career, divorce, and grief; Assist you in finding your niche, and thus your sense of purpose, and passion; Suggest ways to fire your imagination with creative thoughts; Improve your health through practices that reduce stress and encourage healing.
