We are all born with the capacity to love, but because of painful experiences early in life many of us create barriers within ourselves which prevent us from giving or receiving love freely and fully. Our primary lesson in life is learning to love again. The authors believe we can choose to re-experience love's natural flow within and through us. We can choose to love and reopen ourselves genuinely to receive love. Learning to love means learning how to make this choice and put it into effective action. This workbook, which is based on a workshop given for many years by the authors at the Findhorn Foundation, takes readers through a journey of self-discovery, incorporating personal self-awareness exercises, many of which have their origin in psychosynthesis, a humanistic and transpersonal psychology. By the time they reach the final page, readers have traversed both their outer and inner landscapes and have a complete record of their own personal exploration into the universe of love. Topics covered include: defining love, identifying your blocks to love, creating and changing your life, forgiving yourselves and others, applying spiritual principles and practices, and loving unconditionally.

What is it that makes Eileen Caddy special? Here is a woman whose words have inspired and changed millions, and yet it is her very "ordinariness" that has helped so many to relate to her words. She is a woman of her time, with a gentle, feminine and powerful soul. Eileen does not strive to be perfect or different, she is comfortable being "divinely ordinary." And yet she is also much more than that. She constantly displays a willingness and commitment to do whatever is asked of her by her guidance. Now in her eighties, beginning to experience the frailties of her age, she still is the first person meditating in the Findhorn Sanctuary before dawn every morning, listening to her "still small voice within" as she has done for nearly 50 years. She listens, and then she acts. 
What Eileen has always managed to do best is inspire others to strive for the highest; she expects us to be the best we can be, to listen to our own inner voice and to use our talents in service to our planet and to each other. We are all ordinary, and in essence we are all divine. We are part of the unconditionally loving spirit that guides our lives. Eileen is a shining example of what we seek to be, and she needs no pedestal, no admiration, no gratitude. If we, who have read and loved her words, connect with our spirit, make positive changes in our lives and embody the unconditional love we seek, then she has done her job very well indeed. 
This book allows you to appreciate Eileen’s ordinary, extraordinary life.
