Thinking With The Heart with Patricia Sun

MP3 Download

In demand throughout the world as a private consultant, lecturer and communication expert, Patricia Sun speaks here about new styles of thinking and pathways to enlightened relationships. As warm as she is brilliant, Sun gives us new revelations about gender differences, disciplining our children, and accepting paradox as a way to enlightenment. "To be creative in your choice of response is how you put your development into your own hands--this is the essence of enlightenment, the realization that you can do this, and then doing it as often as possible." She believes we are at the brink of an evolutionary leap that will come about when we realize that "we have made the appearance of everything matter more than the substance of being it and doing it." Becoming authentic involves more than being thoughtful about what we say--it means having the courage to discover what we think. (hosted by Michael Toms)
