Live Before You Leave: An Introduction to Happiness was written for those seeking happiness, peace, and bliss in their lives. Through small stories and through the author’s life experiences, this book represents a self-help guide on how to live a healthy and joyful life. The guide is based on scientific facts as well as the knowledge of life and nature. Although energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transformed from one form into another. Similarly, a negative life can be transformed into a positive one. Says author Taruna Morandmal Tanwani: “In writing this book, I am trying to spread knowledge in the world that could bring peace and happiness in someone’s life. But this can happen only because I have experienced peace, happiness, and joy in my life. I experience peace and happiness through yoga and meditation. This book helps the readers to realize that happiness is not outside but within ourselves, and we just need to take a step to look within! A wealth of happiness is within us!”
What if whales and dolphins truly do have a superior intellect, as many believe, and can speak to the human race? What would their message be? In November 2008, gifted clairvoyant Patricia Cori was in Jordan teaching a workshop when a life-changing event occurred. A community of Cetaceans—“a choir of whales and dolphins,” as she describes it—interrupted her talk with a frantic plea for help. Cori was suddenly witness to a devastating scene of suffering, a communal grieving of scores of whales and dolphins “frenzied, lost, and dying.” This was the first of several terrifying calls for help, all of which were immediately followed by mass suicide events as these majestic creatures collectively chose to leave us and our planet. These troubling incidents evolved into the stream of messages for humanity that Cori reveals in this extremely timely work. The whales and dolphins present their deep understanding of our urgent global situation, calling for the human race to restore balance to our ecosystems—especially our dying oceans. For the first time, we read the communications of the Cetaceans and their story of devotion and celebration of life on the Great Planet Earth. We are also given a glimpse of their role in the unfolding of galactic events throughout our solar system, and the message is clear: We must wake up and realize that our continued abuse of the environment is altering the course of Gaia’s progression to the next dimension. Without the whale and dolphin song—without these musicians who hold the oceans in balance—we risk our advancement through the ascension process for which our entire solar system is destined. Before We Leave You is a roadmap to that higher future and a pathway to global transformation. ***NOTE: ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THIS TITLE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CETACEAN MEDITATIONS CARDS INCLUDED IN THE REGULAR PRINTED VERSION.
