You can get Simply Serene: How to Calm Down, Reduce Stress, Deal with Stress, and Be Instantly Alert and at Peace at no cost.  It’s my best seller and some think it’s my best book.

The giveaway ends midnight, PST February 19, 2014.

Go for it => Simply Serene.

Why Get the Book?

The ideas in Simply Serene help you to remove stress and restore health and harmony.

Do you recall that when you’re stressed – when the flight-fight response engages, you stop digesting your food?  You stop repairing your body all the way down to the cellular level.  

If you want your body to heal and repair, to make nutrients available for your tissues, then you need to turn off stress.  Simply Serene shows you how.

It also contains the incomparable Owl Eyes and Owl Ears mindfulness meditation.  You will find you can easily learn this meditation and it works better than anything I have ever seen.

Tell your friends.  Post on Facebook and Tweet.  The material in the book can make a difference in people’s lives.

Get it for yourself => Simply Serene.

Lastly, recall that you don’t need a kindle device to read kindle books.  You can read them on anything.  (Ask if you need help finding the software that Amazon provides.)

May you be serene, peaceful, and instantly alert,

William

More of What Works

Today’s Oracle

My software angels choose this oracle quote for you today:

339) Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power. Begin now. -- Johann Wolfgang Goethe

More of What Works

You may know this aphorism:

Do more of what works and less of what doesn't.

You can live your life from that.  You can have a life you love from that. 

Find things that work for you, and quit doing what doesn’t work.  Simple, sure, but not so easy. 

Take small steps.

I re-titled my book: Do More of What Works to –

Finding Your Own Best Ideas– A Practical Prescription for Figuring Out What Works in Your Life. This book contains reliable ideas you can apply to your life so that you can live a life you love – body and soul.

Get it.  Read it.  Apply it.  I repeat – take small steps, but keep stepping.

Do this experiment, it works.

Here’s a experiment from Wayne Muller’s exquisite book:  A Life of Being, Having, and Doing Enough.  You do this every morning and your life will become radiant.  I promise.

What if, as an experiment,  if only for one day, we lived as if we believed that there lived in us some reliable  strength, wisdom, and wholeness? 

What if we were to pretend that, regardless our health or mood, our fortunes or circumstance, we would remain quietly wise, accurate, and trustworthy in our judgments and actions? 

Even more, what if we could actually feel, sense, and know, with unshakable certainty,  that whenever we went, into whatever company or situation we were called, we would  carry with us always this capacity to move with confidence and trust in any situation?

How would we think, act, choose?  How would we respond differently to the world during such a day? 

All the Books By Wayne Muller can change your life for the better.  Get them.

“Making an altar may not make all your wishes come true, but it can make you really happy and bring more peace into your holiday season,” William Wittmann says.

Amazon reviews agree.

 “This book is a wonderful source of calm and inspiration and I've put its contents into practice in many places in my home, including one on each of my bedside tables. Nothing fancy and all with things I've found outside or already had. An easy, thoughtful way to stay in touch with myself.”

Another reader says, “Altar Making shows you how to bring the sacred into physical form. In easy to understand terms, William helps you create with your spirit, altars in your own personal style using what has importance and meaning to you.”

Remember how much fun it was to build things with Legos or blocks. Just imagine how nurturing it can be to build your own sacred altars and shrines.

When you create your own altar, you feel that same pleasure that you felt as a child. And when you bring in the Sacred, your satisfaction deepens.

You may also find that your connection to the innocent heart of your inner child deepens and sweetens in this sacred practice of altar making or shrine building.

This lovely book will walk you through the whys and hows of altar building.  In addition to my insights, I have seven friends, spiritual teachers all, that disclose their private experiences with building altars. Their contributions will feed your heart and expand your horizons.  They give you a wide range of surprising insights you will not find anywhere else.

Just imagine how nurturing it can be to build your own sacred altars and shrines. I recommend you get the book and nurture your soul.

Again Go for It => Altar Making

May you be lighthearted and free,

William

What’s the Most Import Technology I Have Learned in My Life?

Today, I realized, Owl Eyes takes the tops spot for most import technology I’ve learned in my life. 

Before I tell you why, let me remind you that  I attended high school, college, graduate schools, massage school, and countless workshops. 

I read numberless books. 

I have studied with world class spiritual teachers and healers. 

I have been married for over forty years and had children for over forty years. 

So, when I say Owl Eyes holds a dear spot in my heart, I mean it.  Pay attention. 

Here’s why: 

In a brief few moments, Owl Eyes allows me to quiet my mind, to enjoy peace of mind, and to experience for moments being one with all life.  People call this experience enlightenment.  Not bad, eh?

 

I have made the Owl Eyes and Owl Ears technology available to you in three of my books.  Simply Serene: How to Calm Down, Reduce Stress, Deal with Stress, and Be Instantly Alert and at Peace has a wonderful version of it.  I tell the story of how I learned it over a smoky campfire with Jon Young, founder of Wilderness Awareness School. 

 

I’m giving Simply Serene away… 

Until midnight March 13^th, 2013, you can get Simply Serene for freee HERE.  After that the book reverts to its normal price – obviously, still a huge value and you’ll certainly benefit.  

Go for it => Simply Serene 

Read more about why I’m giving it away  in this POST. 

Why the name Owl Eyes?  Owl Eyes gets its name for wonderful reasons you can read in my book.

Walk in beauty, 

William 

P.S. You don’t need a Kindle to read Kindle books.  You can get the software to read Simply Serene from Amazon HERE. 

Again, you can get Simply Serene HERE. 

 P.P.S. Do pass this on to people, it will bless their lives.

Evening

Evening

It’s one o’clock in the morning and my brother, John, and I are sitting on either side of my father’s hospital bed in the quiet, dimly lit care unit in lovely costal southern California.

Our father is dying.

For several hours he has been disappearing into some realm where we could not follow. He stops breathing. Minutes pass. Then with a huge effort he takes another breath and returns.

He talks with us, making sure things are good between us, stays as long as he can, then some wind sweeps him away on his journeys. He repeats his coming and going all night.

John and I peacefully observe this profound mystery unfold.

My brother and I each have 30 year meditation practices. We’re comfortable just sitting. Just breathing. Even while our father dies.

It was intense, and it was sweet.

It was one of the richest times of my life and continues to inform my work and inspire my life.

The film, Evening, parallels John’s and my journey with our father.

I recommend you watch it. Here’s why. You can upgrade your right brain, (one of my four alluring paradigms) with this film.

This film will present you with beautiful design (one of the six skills for upgrading your right brain). It takes place by the sea in Newport, RI in a beautiful mansion.

I mostly want you to see it for its ability to fortify your empathy. Empathy is another of the six right brained skills you need to navigate the 21st C. Strengthening your empathy enhances your ability, as well as everyone else’s, to thrive.

Vanessa Redgrave plays Ann who is dying and drifting into and out of this and other realms like my father who thought he was in France. Claire Danes plays Ann as a young woman in the flashbacks.

The two sisters are played by Toni Collette and Natasha Richardson, who is the real life daughter of Vanessa Redgrave. Their bedside scenes will move you.

Some of the most fun, yes fun, and deepest wisdom come from the interactions between Ann and Ilene Atkins, the night nurse, while she is wearing a ball gown.

Even with all this death, my fathers and Ann’s, you will be richer for the journey.
