Momentum: Letting Love Lead: Simple Practices for Spiritual Living
By John Roger and Paul Kaye, D.SS.

Book Review by Teri Wunderman, Ph.D.

This wonderful, new book by John-Roger and Paul Kaye, D.SS., speaks to the spiritual heart, the loving that we all share. The book reads like we are having a friendly chat with spiritual masters who speak to us wherever we are. They speak from their hearts with loving messages of practical wisdom that we can apply directly and easily in our everyday lives. No matter what our religious background, the teachings of these authors inspire us to take action to improve our lives with grace and ease and to find the joy and beauty in our learning.

From Momentum, "Most people are playing the Game of Life, trying to make life work. Life already works. How we bring loving into it is the big key. That's playing the Game of Love, and it's by far the bigger game." We can live fulfilling lives not by trying harder, working more, or sleeping less, but by letting love lead us. Instead of looking at our lives and thinking we are restricted, this book teaches us to move into the momentum of love, where we can expand past any perceived limitation and live from a place of freedom and choice.

The feeling of being out of balance in our lives is a sign that there is movement going on. Although we may be tempted to judge this sense of imbalance as negative, movement means change and change leads to growth. The authors write, "It's a good idea to involve yourself in discovering who you truly are. That way, you can change the things that are not working for you and create positive movement inside of you." The best thing to do is to follow the motion and to let the natural flow take over. John-Roger and Paul Kaye advocate creating spiritual calm by following rather than fighting the rhythms of daily life. "When you choose to accept rather than demand change, when you choose to support rather than criticize, you choose to love rather than hurt, that is when something inside you stands up and cheers."

Simple practices and exercises, designed to find love in each moment and to ease anxiety and fears, are taught with humor and gentleness. Momentum teachings are presented in a direct, understandable manner with inspirational quotes accompanying specific steps for experiencing calm and enlightenment within all situations in our lives. Whether it is your first time reading the book or you read it again and again, readers can open to any page and find something uplifting, relevant and, above all, useful and loving for every one of life's challenges.

Let Love Lead you to the book, Momentum! And let Momentum lead you to the loving in your life!
