It's big enough to hold all our experiences, including our highs and lows, and everything in between, without judgement or resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's like a riverbed-mostly unseen, but critically important. The riverbed provides a welcome container for all of life, and as a rule, it doesn't eject anything out. In fact, each component held within the riverbed is seen as necessary-as part of creating the larger picture. The curling eddies, the fish hovering at the sides, the debris floating downstream-they all belong inside the riverbed.\u003cbr\u003eWell-being is the same. When we're in our riverbed of well-being, we become big enough to hold everything with the courage to say, 'I am willing for all of this to be my life.' \" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEarly praise for \u003cem\u003eThe Magic of Well-Being\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"\u003cstrong\u003eReal and powerful.\" \u003c\/strong\u003e-Flint Sparks, PhD, Zen Teacher, former Clinical Psychologist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"Laura Thomas\u003cstrong\u003e walks her talk, dances her dance, and offers her bright and bold insights from an authenticity of rare depth. \u003c\/strong\u003eI wholeheartedly encourage you to join in her magic \"\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e-Marit  Hagman, MPH, \u003cem\u003eWhole Health\u003c\/em\u003eUniversity of Wisconsin, Advanced Energy Healer\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"\u003cstrong\u003eWe are all messy miracles, but we can find our way if we follow her example \u003c\/strong\u003eby committing to such a path of mindful, diligent, clear care.
