Everyone has had luminous moments in their lives. It's the "a-ha" moment when one experiences the beauty and grace of life, whether it be when looking into the eyes of a newborn child or watching the sun set over the ocean. But those moments are usually too brief. Too often, people walk around in a fog, feeling vaguely frustrated, resigned, and cynical and asking all the wrong questions about how to make life better. They miss the purpose for being alive: to wake up and become oneself, to allow others to contribute to them and to, in turn, contribute their gifts to the world. This book gives readers specific methods for allowing luminosity into their lives on a consistent basis, allowing them to view the world with much younger, more vibrant eyes.

The Well-Lived Life What is luminosity? How does it differ from happiness? Is it possible to live a meaningful life in an uncertain and unpredictable world? These are the questions Maria Nemeth asks and answers in her latest book: Mastering Life's Energies: Simple Steps to a Luminous Life at Work and Play. Happiness is a feeling that comes and goes. Luminosity - the experience of being fully engaged in a life worth living - is a quality that can be cultivated, and each of Mastering Life's Energies' four sections is devoted to one of what Nemeth has identified as its four essential components: clarity, focus, ease and grace. When we gain clarity about who we are and what's most important to us; learn to focus energy towards personally relevant goals; discern the difference between taking action with ease rather than struggle; and discover the ability to appreciate all that life brings - whether it's what we expected or not - we experience ourselves as living the life we were meant to live. There is no one like Maria Nemeth to simultaneously describe the ways we give up on our goals and dreams and inspire us to keep on going. With a light touch and a sense of humor she provides personal stories, fabulous metaphors and simple tools that any of us can use right here, right now. As a Life Coach trained in Maria's work, I use the principles and practices outlined in Mastering Life's Energies every day, both for my clients and myself. Not only has my life gotten easier - it's a whole lot more fun!
Livng Life with Clarity, Focus, Ease, and Grace When I read Mastering Life's Energies it occurred to me that Maria Nemeth brought Eckhardt Tolle's discussions to the level I can take action on. This is spiritual principle(s) made applicable to my life. That's very appealing to me. There's only so much insight I can stand unless I can apply it in my decision-making, to my relationships, to my work. This is possible with this book and the course Maria offers by the same name. Maria Nemeth's work is the best thing since sliced bread, as we might say in Texas.
breathtakingly simple and empowering Maria Nemeth's book and work (course by same title: Mastering Life's Energies)are stunning in their simplicity. I think of a ballerina. It looks easy but when you try it you see how masterful the ballerina is. Except with the concepts, principles, and tools in this book, I get to BE the "ballerina!" I see that I can create (and have created) a luminous life out of what I've learned. Eckhart Tolle's books are very fine, but Maria's book makes the information in Tolle's books practical. Being a practical German(!) this means a lot to me. If I can't use it, it's not beautiful. And it's beautiful if I can use it. I can definitely use Maria's book. What a blessing.
Living life with ease and grace I'm an accomplished achiever, a doer, a person who loves to learn and grow and take on challenges. However, what has eluded me is a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. Somehow I was too quickly onto the next challenge, the next goal. Then I found Maria Nemeth's book, Mastering Life's Energies. Gentle. Simple. Clear. Not easy, but filled with ease. Focused. Disciplined. Humorous. Step by step, Maria points the way--with wonderful stories, with useful exercises, with compassionate discernment. How can a book change a life? This one changed mine! This book begs to be discussed in a group! Mastering Life's Energies: Simple Steps to a Luminous Life at Work and Play The Energy of Money: A Spiritual Guide to Financial and Personal Fulfillment
