Crossing the Threshold From FEAR to LOVE: 31 Days of Spiritual Awakening

We may not know how to love without conditions when we come into this world,
but we can use our time here to learn to open our hearts to love’s presence.
We can engage in a simple spiritual practice that helps us wake up,
shine our light, and become an inspiration for others.

There are many doors to unconditional love. Entering any one of these doors makesit easier for us to enter the
others. Cultivating one spiritual virtue helps us to cultivate all the others. The 31 teachings in this Book correspond to the 31 days of the month, so there is a teaching and a practice for every day.

Think of your first month of practice as a 31Day spiritual retreat. Of course, you don’t have to travel to a monastery or retreat center. You don’t need to leave your home or your job. You just need to create time and space within your life to focus on the Teaching and Practice for that day.

As you work with these teachings each day, life will bring you opportunities to practice them. Each day you will be invited to cross the threshold. When the door opens, however unexpectedly, walk through it. In this way, you create a simple dailypractice that can transform your consciousness and your life.
