Greetings, Friends... The third edition of End Your Story, Begin Your Life is complete and is available as an eBook for $10.95 at www.endyourstory.com. For those of you who have already bought the book, send me an email, jdreaver@aol.com, telling me approximately when you purchased it, and I will email you back the new edition. The main change is in the “revolutionary practice” of the subtitle. Previously, the practice involved stepping back with your awareness and seeing that you are not your story. A lot of people had difficulty with visualizing themselves “stepping back.” So, I have simplified it into a three-step practice: |
 |
Notice The Story. Behind every reactive emotion, whether it is stress, self-doubt, guilt, anger, envy, jealousy, loneliness, anxiety, depression, or fear there is always a story, belief, or thought. Just notice the story you are telling yourself, and then see that you are not the story. You are the awareness that is seeing the story. If it helps, you can affirm: “I am not my story... I am the pure awareness that is present right now...” Be Present. Now relax, breathe, and just be the awareness that you are. Observe any residual feelings or emotions, but don’t create a new story around them. Notice how “you,” as an aware being, the witness, are still very much here. Feel the shift in your energy, the new sense of ease and well-being… In time, as you get freer, you will inevitably inquire into this “me,” this “I” that you take yourself to be. This is the “fourth” step. When you see that it is just a story too, the story-teller, your emotional energy harmonizes and living becomes rich in meaning, love, and purpose—plus a whole lot more fun! You can then use the power of thought, your goals and dreams, to create what you are passionate about. This is the secret of awakening or enlightenment.Love and blessings, Jim

"I am really appreciating the practice of stepping back with my awareness. It is simple, powerful, and amazingly effective at releasing stress and emotional tension. In fact, it is magical! Thank you!" Anne Beversdorf, Austin, TX "You completely changed my life. I have practiced your work for over a year. I now realize that I chose to be a victim. No one ever opened the world of wisdom like you." Jan Hamilton, Ph.D., Aspen, CO "There is a very deep presence that has stayed with me after working with you. I am more easily able to come back to the sanctuary of the present than before." Erik Ossell, Big Sur, CA “My experience of Jim was remarkable… Every time I felt conflicted I did as he suggested, and felt a sense of freedom from the story and from the emotional upset. It was profound.” “As a result of Jim’s guidance I have really experienced a much deeper sense of my Being, and feel I am on the threshold of living the freedom he has modeled for me.” Juliana Dahl, Ph.D., Boulder, CO
