Provides People Access to Their Greatness and True Purpose
At a time when people around the world are searching for answers and meaning, comes a book and body of wisdom that allow men and women everywhere to rediscover themselves and the purpose of their lives.
The Code of Authentic Living: Cellular Wisdom, Joan C. King. Fort Collins, CO: Bibliocast, an imprint of Work Keepers, Inc., 2009 the foundational book/first Cellular Wisdom book in a series of five, is the by-product of former neuroscientist Dr. Joan C. King’s own inner journey. It is based on her beautifully blended five decades of scientific research and spiritual principles. The book provides a process that allows anyone to review his/her life and uncover core values and heart desires.
A former professor & department chair at Tufts University School of Medicine for twenty years and Dominican nun in her native New Orleans for nearly a decade, King contemplated the significance of Cellular WisdomTM during a year–long sabbatical in 1997 that allowed her to reclaim her life and create a template for the deeper understanding of the divine in life. Her work amplifies the scientific and the spiritual as she compares the organic human journey to how the cells operate and make possible the human body7rsquo;s systems very naturally and effortlessly.
"While on that year–long sabbatical, my first time out for myself in years, I began to view the body and its systems from a completely different perspective - as an inner teacher of how to live," says author/creator King. "Exploring who I was, underneath everything external, allowed me to touch and come to know an inner truth, bigger than anything I had ever known before. That's when my knowing began to reveal a whole new kind of work for me."
In The Code of Authentic Living, King reveals how fundamental truths for living an authentic, fulfilling life are coded in the elegantly complex dance of chemical and energetic interactions within and between our cells. King realized that what she had been studying under a microscope all those years had significance beyond human physiology. Much more than just a temple of science, her lab, she discovered, was a temple of the human spirit as well.
With more than thirty meditative and thought-provoking exercises, this book shows readers how to interpret the truths that our bodies teach and how to apply them to their daily lives. King helps people to explore the landscape within, working to identify their values and articulate them for improving human relationships and fostering more harmonious communities, as demonstrated within the relationships and communities of our cells.
According to King, the topics covered in The Code of Authentic Living are ones that she has seen ‘stop people cold’ in their personal or professional lives. The book is interactive and helps to guide readers along a pathway of learnable skills, linking the science of the body with the personal exploration of interior knowing. Through stories, contemplations, and exercises, King gently draws people in deeper, toward exploration and self-discovery. Using teachings extracted from an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of how the human body models a person's beliefs, The Code of Authentic Living is a comprehensive journey toward the authentic, essential self.
King's own life was changed in an instant and forever with the sudden death of her father. She was just ten years old when he died. This great loss set her on a collision course to become a nonstop achiever. Decades later she realized that her drive for success masked the loss of her dad. In pursuit of the next big achievement, she had completely lost her self. This ultimately drove King to integrate her scientific background and knowledge of cells with her commitment to reclaim her own life, then to provide the same to others via her books and seminars in her expanded awareness she coined as Cellular Wisdom.
Fascinated by science, King studied to become a Chemist and later received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience & Psychology from Tulane University. The world of academia loved King and she thrived in the university setting, first as a student and later as a professor, a researcher, and eventually a department chair at Tufts University School of Medicine. What many people would consider a dream career, proved to be a springboard for King-moving her forward toward her truer calling.
