Journey of the Awakening Heart

When we awaken our hearts to love we start to connect to the electromagnetic field of consciousness in the Universe. Our individual and collective suffering comes to an end when we align ourselves with the constantly weaving and ever-changing universal energetic patterns and the directionality of life force energy (prana).

This book has three main objectives:

  1. Inspire readers to find love and deep inner connection within their own hearts;
  2. Find the missing connection to the Creative Intelligent Source;
  3. Enlighten readers throughout the course of the current ascension process by inspiring them to open their hearts, shed old behavioural patterns, unwanted emotions and energies that cause suffering.

An important handbook pregnant with inspirational and contemplative spiritual messages which may help readers find their inner light and awaken within a deep desire for spiritual seeking of a life with an elevated consciousness, unconditional love and deep inner awareness, beyond the shadows of void and darkness.”

About the Author

 

Heba first started studying Eastern philosophy at the age of 15. She was born in Victoria, Australia, lived her teenage years in Mount Liban before returning to Australia permanently in 1996. She charted her own course from the mountains of distant Lebanon through the main streets of a war-ravaged Beirut on her way to the open skies of countryside Australia and finally to mystical India. 

She studied Vedic, Hindu, Greek and Western Philosophies. She then set up a school of yoga, meditation, healing and spiritual teaching in Mildura Vic in 2016.

Heba’s collection of poems and proses was inspired by the great philosophers Rumi, Osho, Yogananda and Gibran. Her main inspiration to publish her own book was derived from her personal spiritual experiences. Meeting her twin flame and husband inspired the pair to work towards fulfilling their divine mission to establish a healing centre and inspire millions to find true everlasting fulfilment within them and surrender to life being the key to breaking from the chains that keep humanity imprisoned in a world of suffering.

A Divided Heart: A Memoir of Loss and Love

Family history. An account of Greek immigration. “May all who read A Divided Heart be reminded, as I was, of events small and large, which have ultimately contributed to shaping the fabric of our lives.” – from the Foreword, Athina Vlahos. In this heartfelt memoir, Sophia Nicolis Tsouvalas takes the reader on a journey through her parents’ lives. Maria and Manoli endured the hardships and tragedy of war-torn Greece during the German occupation and subsequent civil war. Sophia captures their experiences of moving from Mesohoria, a village on the Greek island of Evia, with the Aegean as its backdrop, to a new life in Australia. Their journey takes us through the harsh realities of everyday life in their small village, to the early 1960’s when the family settle in Sydney, a city on the cusp of societal change. Maria was able to release the pain of her past, and Australia was embraced with open arms and gratitude. For Manoli, leaving Greece was a huge wrench and his yearning for his birthplace never waned. A Divided Heart is a chronicle of life, recognising the relationships that define us. It allows each of us to examine our heritage, our identity and where we feel we belong. Intertwined within the narrative of turmoil, longing, loss and ultimately love, are themes of history, traditions, food and culture which will resonate with many. This is a poignant story of the importance of family and wanting to leave a legacy for future generations.
