A
Workbook for
Reawakening the Voice
of Your Soul
FORWARD
By

Dear
Readers,
Ours is an age when many of us feel out of control, victimized by
the velocity and direction of modern life. Too much seems to be
happening to us that is not of our own making. We are swept along,
buffeted and bruised by the velocity of world events. Many of us
long for a life that is more handmade, perhaps simpler but certainly
more personal, more satisfying than the life we seem to be leading
by default.
"I
want more of what I want in my life-and less of everything else,"
we say, but we do not know how to effect this change. This is
where the work of Sonia Choquette comes in.
All
too often we are told that we should lead lives that are more
spiritual and yet are also more fulfilled in worldly terms. Frankly,
we would love to-if someone would just tell us how. What we want
and need is nuts-and-bolts information on how to build such a
life. We don't just need the vision of the life we could and should
have. We want the actual feast, not images and pictures and descriptions
of it. What we want-- and what we deserve--is the actual recipe.
Sonia
Choquette is not only a master spiritual teacher, she is a teacher
who shares her recipe for living in a series of clear, simple,
doable steps. Not for her the grand, highbrow, and elusive evocation
of how wonderful it could be if we would just somehow get spiritual.
Instead, Choquette brings spirituality into practice. This means
she gets practical. She gets nuts-and-bolts. She gets nitty-gritty.
She doesn't just tell us to do something. She tells us exactly
how to do it.
The
book market is flooded with spiritual self-help books that are
not particularly helpful. They promise to tell us how to function
in seven simple laws or twenty-one wizardly ways, but when we
look at the laws or ways closely, they are difficult to integrate
into life as we know it.
"Meditate
an hour a day." Sure, if you find me that hour.
Choquette
gives spiritual direction in bite-size chunks. Married, the mother
of two, a full-time writer, spiritual teacher, and practicing
intuitive, she has had to learn the art and the skills of time
management for modern life. Her books teach what she herself has
had to learn: how to "do" a fulfilling life somewhere
in the middle of the life you've actually got.
For
the past decade, Choquette has been a close friend of mine. Over
time I have realized her considerable education, erudition, and
sophistication (her tone is a well-polished jewel of cosmopolitan
taste). I have come to appreciate that her grounded, humorous,
populist approach to spirituality is a carefully chosen path.
She teaches through story and principle rather than steeping her
work in the intellectualism and borrowed respectability that so
many people use to mask and promote their message.
Reading
Sonia Choquette will not make you feel smart. Reading Sonia Choquette
will make you be smart. When a friend or student hits troubled
water and needs to revamp a badly damaged sense of life safety,
I do not send him to the best-selling spiritual gurus of our time,
fine writers and teachers though they are. Over and over, for
soul hunger, it is to Choquette's work that I send people who
genuinely want their own lives to alter and expand. I do this
because Choquette is an empowering teacher. She teaches people
to trust themselves, not her. She is, to my eye, radically humble:
"Be your own guru," she advises, and then adds, "Here's
how."
With
every hope that Sonia's work is as valuable in your life as it
has been in mine.

| OLD
RULES |
NEW
RULES |
| I
am a mortal being, full of sin, and basically not good, without
worth. |
I
am a spiritual being, a child of God, a divine miracle,
inherently precious. |
| I
can't trust myself. I don't know what is good for me. Others
know better. |
I
can trust myself. My Higher Self always knows best, if
I only listen. |
| 1
am not psychic. These unusual experiences are coincidences,
luck, "weird" |
Every
moment of my day, my Higher Self directs me. Everything
counts. |
| I
don't know where I'm going, what I'm doing. I hope it
works out. |
I
have clear goals. I know where I'm going. I'm in charge of
my life and it is working out. |
| I'm
disorganized, rushed, behind schedule, too tired for
it all. |
I'm
organized and responsible. I say yes to what is important, no
to the rest. I'm free of worry. |
| People
won't believe me, will think I'm weird, if I talk of my psychic
ability. |
My
experience is better, happier, when I trust and use my
psychic ability. I don't need approval from others. My
success in life will be my approval. |
| I
can't justify my feelings. How can I be sure? |
I
operate on faith! I don't need to justify my intuition.
I will be patient until it becomes clear why I am guided. |
| I'll
play it safe. I'll ignore my psychic feelings. |
I
live my authentic life. I go with my feelings. |
