Steering Your Way Through Life; A Guide To Being Happy, Purposeful, And Fulfilled

Tom Beardshall, healer and owner of The Holistic Wellness Center in McMurray, has been a prominent figure in the wellness community for a long time, and many, many people have become healers by starting out as one of his students. Tom practices a wide variety of healing modalities, including hypnosis, Reiki, Healing Touch and Energy Field Therapies, just to name a few. As a self-described life-long student of everything related to religion, spirituality, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology, prayer and meditation – again, just to name a few – it seems inevitable that Tom’s next step would be to combine his knowledge into a book, and he’s done just that in Steering Your Way Through Life, A Guide to Being Happy, Purposeful, and Fulfilled.
This practical, straightforward compilation offers Tom’s “homespun advice” in a mandala-like format that encourages the reader to explore, test, question, and ultimately develop a personal philosophy and spiritual connection. A wide range of topics is covered, from reincarnation, affirmations, Christianity, spirituality and quantum physics, to meditation and dream journals.
The first chapters cover very basic tenets of life, which Tom calls immutable truths, such as that change is inevitable and suffering is unavoidable, and also some “good things to know” about life, relationships, forgiveness and life in general. A favorite of mine is “Your greatest need is to discover how to live a meaningful and satisfying life. Following a philosophy which guides you into purposeful and intentional living is the only path which deserves our devotion, satisfies our inner being, and develops our true potential.”
More in-depth discussion of spirituality and consciousness follows. Dividing topics into succinct chapters gives the reader a true overview of what’s out there in the spiritual and metaphysical world today. Tom writes extensively about Christianity and the Teachings of Jesus in the true spiritual sense, not from the angle of religious dogma. And he explores reincarnation, prayer, affirmations, goal setting, and much more. He also includes chapters on specific organizations, such as A.R.E and New Thought Churches. At the end of the book, Tom offers affirmation cards to cut out and use, as well as the Success Meditation, a 40 day success reprogramming process, which includes 40 pages of a personal journal for the reader to use as they embark on a spiritual journey and discover their own philosophy and truth.
Steering Your Way Through Life is a great choice for anyone starting out on a spiritual quest, or for anyone who is confused by all the various teachings and modalities being offered in the metaphysical arena these days. It’s an easy, enjoyable read in a large 8 ½” by 11” soft cover format with large print. The mandala of thoughts in each chapter, sometimes seemingly unrelated to the prior one, all fit together at the end to help the reader steer a practical, spiritual course towards living a purposeful and fulfilled life.
