I highly recommend Love's Way : The Union of Body, Ego, Soul and Spirit by Brenda Schaeffer. I thought I know what love really is until I read this book. I like the recipes for a vibrant physical; healthy ego; soulful life and spirit based love life. The Body in Love; the Ego in Love; the Soul in Love and the Spirit in Love are great. The meditations are worth checking out. Quotes in "Love's Way" that I would like to share: "...what stands between you and the power of love is you" "...the most powerful human energy we have is love. And our greatest energy center, our central powerhouse, the heart, mediates that energy." "Multidimentional love is the greatest symbiosis of all. When we bring our ego,soul and spirit into symbiotic harmony by living from the heart, we create a world of amplified power. This is the real meaning of Love's Way." "Love says: I am the flow of life. I flow from the Great Spirit to you. I enter through the heart. Harness me. I am the greatest power you can know. Let me in and use me. You must take me to others. Others must take it back to you. This is the geatest circle of life. Go my friend. Never forget the words: I love you. And now live them." "Love's Way Recipe for a vibrant multidimensional love life" Find a handful of people willing to be lovers with heart. Do everything you can to open your heart. Nurture childlike innocence,curiosity and playfulness. Be loyal and honor commitments. Allow space for contemplation, introspection and the need to be alone. Understand what love really is. Get rid of love illusions. "The Realm of the Heart" Share all of you from deep in the soul. Become the "Good Mother" the "Valiant Father" Protect your body, your ego, your soul, your spirit. Dance, dance, dance the circle of love. Thank your wonderful, strong heart. Become a warrior with heart. Do lots of down to earth loving. Get rid of the glut and clutter in all four facets. Work through any inner fragmentation Love fearlessly. Radiate love frequencies. Bend heart to heart. Put Love's Way into the streets.

This is the most complete book on what love is and isn't that I have read or even imagined. This book is way more than about romantic love, it's about life. Ms. Schaeffer's insights are simple and wise. And new. I often shook my head in amazement while reading. Her knowledge is extensive and could be a bit too meaty and in depth, but her writing is lyrical and easy. But make no mistake, this is not a fluf self-help book.I have known for a long time that love is all there is and all that is important, and therefore I have been searching as to what it is exactly. This book was my answer.

Brenda Schaeffer's book is very personal since it reveals not only true case history but also candidly share a practicing therapist reflections. She reveals to her readers how love is available to all and to understand what it really is in the union of the body, ego, soul and spirit. It is a small book packed full of common sense advices and spirit awakening exercises that are just gems! Her creativity and fresh approach to therapy offers rituals and life affirming recipes to design your own love life, to overcome the bad hand that was dealt, to give each one of us winning cards and the will to discard the jokers in the deck.I will always keep this book as a travel guide to navigate the rest of my life’s journey.
