Vuelve a Ser Quien Eres Reclaiming the Self On the Pathway of Teshvah by Rabbi D. Pinson English or Spanish
Teshuvah is one of the great gifts of life. Through Teshuvah we are able to return from pain, fragmentation and confusion to a place of greater unity and well-being, to our authentic self. RECLAIMING THE SELF offers a glimpse into aworld with-out the damaging influence of past negativity - where misdeed is transformed into merit.
Questions addressed include:
What exactly is Teshuvah and how does it function?
How do we understand the mechanism of undoing our past and co-creating our future?
Is it possible to foster healthy regret without eroding our self-esteem?
In this informative, inspiring and empowering book, Rav Pinson guides us along the pathway of genuine transformation and holistic integration so that we can live fully present in the now.

From the Back Cover
...Today, the present is the one and onlyconstant in life. It is the context in which the flow of life forms andtransforms, appears and disappears. Whatever happens in our life and whateverchanges we may undergo, we are always here, now. This moment is therefore notan action after which we must chase, but rather it is the eternal, pure, openfield upon which all actions unfold.
...Every new moment translates as anopportunity for exponential growth and spiritual advancement. It is throughTeshuvah that we have the ability to release ourselves from the imprints of thepast, and untangle ourselves from automatic, programmed responses anddeterministic beliefs. What's more, when we release the heavy baggage of ourpreconceived notions, more of life and more of who we truly are becomeaccessible to us. What we have, in any case, is the now: the past is historyand the future is mystery. The present is indeed a 'present', a gift of freshenergy and hope in beginning anew.
