Tend Your Garden Within arose from many years of searching for my spirituality and my life's purpose. The catalyst for this book, was my father's fatal accident in 2006 in Tehran, Iran. Since 2006, I have gone through many personal transformations. I, like you, have wondered if I could face my fears and experience more joy. I have documented my thoughts, emotions, and inspiration, through poems and short articles. I am pleased to share with you, the reader, some techniques that have helped me during my journey.

To experience life fully, and joyfully, one's heart and mind needs to be present in the moment. Being in the moment requires recognizing and delving into layers of beliefs, frozen emotions, past traumas, and self-limiting thoughts. The task is to remove burdensome rocks in our garden within that can deprive our soul and body of nourishment. In Tend To Your Garden Within, I have identified some of the burdensome rocks in our own gardens that are blocking us from experiencing more joy in our lives and in our relationships. It is a book to encourage self reflection.
