In this companion book to Creating Deliberate Happiness: The Complete Guide, author Antoinette Spurrier asks you to remember that you are a spiritual creature, first and foremost, and that this is the source of your great power. The journey toward reclaiming this identity, she writes, requires recognizing that you are always connected to Spirit and as such, possess a vast inner power radiant in its potential to create, inspire, and lead you to deliberate happiness. Achieving this sense of empowerment means making yourself a creative actor in your own life Spurrier describes spiritual principles along with practical approaches and techniques-journaling, meditation, affirmations-that can help transform any feelings of impotence, aloneness and deficiency into a strong sense of your own value. She analyzes other primary obstacles to empowerment, most notably the individual's lack of awareness of humanity's dual nature as a Limited (human) Self, and Eternal (spiritual) Self. And she offers effective tools and many specific affirmations that can help to resolve conflicts between these two selves and eventually can lead you to integrating into a whole and empowered human being, who you truly are. Consistently applied, such techniques will lead to greater self-knowledge, self-claiming, and self-love. Empower The Now closes with a sacred invitation to journey toward the direct experience of touching the face of the Infinite in whatever conceptualization you may attach to that experience This is the fifth in a series of shorter books that distill the wisdom, practical techniques and effective tools described in much greater detail in Spurrier's Creating Deliberate Happiness: The Complete Guide. Each smaller book revolves around a theme developed in Creating Deliberate Happiness, but is not meant to replace the larger book with its detailed analysis of the background to these practices and its explanation of the natural patterns and scientific laws governing psychological and spiritual growth.
