Setting Your Heart on Fire
Seven Invitations to Liberate Your Life
Setting Your Heart on Fire is a practical manual for the heart, a powerful series of invitations to open to love—”not the romantic, familial, or platonic kind, but a love that most of us have rarely tasted,” but the dynamic, primal connection with all life that opens doors to fulfillment.
Working through seven “Invitations,” each providing an opportunity to take a deep look at aspects of ourselves and others we may have been shutting down to, the reader is offered knowing guidance through steps of self-discovery and opening that might otherwise feel pretty scary.
In the first Invitation, “Feel Everything,” Cushnir leads us step by step to explore in love our pain and fear, our likes and dislikes, with a view to broadening our sense of self. Subsequent invitations invite us to question everything, to resist nothing, to live as though we were dying... dancing... dreaming... and to widen our world.
Cushnir writes based on his own experience in opening to love in the face of a painful divorce, crushing career setbacks, a serious illness, and a classic “dark night of the soul.” Opening to love made it possible to face life's challenges, he tells us. Speaking directly to us and also through illustrative stories from his own and others' experience, he offers insights he gained for staying emotionally and physically healthy, avoiding getting trapped in unfulfilling relationships, maintaining an open mind and heart in the face of political absurdity, and finding the courage to step forward to fulfill our own unique potential.
As one who has been active in the self-help field for over thirty years, I found familiar territory, yes... and some unique approaches. Setting Your Heart on Fire is a worthy read.
