UPDATE: Greetings.  This site has a lot on it.... but... it is not my current focus.

My current focus is on Light Workers World.  There are lots of spiritual teachings, catchy videos, spiritual books and inspiring quotes up there.  Visit: 

LightWorkers World: inspirational quotes, law of attraction secrets, meditation tips, self help articles and spiritual guidance




You don't have to walk away from problems, you can heal them by being being BIGGER and brighter than them, and by stepping through new doorways.  Doorways offered on this website include a Manifestation Circle, Spiritual Life Coaching Sessions, and High Vibration Books and teachings to light the way. 

 Take a deep breath....  
This is an invitation into Luminous Self-knowing...  


INITIATION INTO THE LIGHT

Instead of being on your spiritual Path, stand where you are. BE your spiritual Path.
You are the path.

Instead of attempting to find true love, GIVE true love. Send love. BE love.

You are love.

Instead of seeking a way out of feeling trapped, find a way into the freedom that you are, where you are.   Be freedom.

You are freedom.

Instead of coming to know who you are, BE who you are.

You are You.

Instead of taking action, BE action. Don’t take each step, BE each step.

You are action.

Instead of getting rid of noise, BE silence.

You are silence.

Instead of basking in the Sun, BE the Sun.

You are the Sun.

You are Light.


You are Love.

There is nowhere to go but here in your Heart.





                

My name is Michael Alperstein.  I am an editor, a spiritual life coach, and author of Mastery Where You Are: How to Stop Stress in Its Tracks While You Keep Walking.   As a Life Coach, I can help you awaken spiritually wherever you are. You break free of old patterns by being okay with what is occurring inside yourself and by incorporating all thoughts and feelings into the "meditation" of daily life.

This website is home to tools I have developed in my healing work with others:

- Simple Meditations to create calmness in the midst of chaos.

- Tools to turn challenges into welcome opportunities for awakening.

- Plus powerful lessons I’ve learned while being faced with the biggest life challenge I’ve had: the sudden death of my sister Susan who had a ten month old son, Nicholas, at the time of her death. I am now helping to raise Nicholas who continually inspires and teaches me spiritual lessons.

My passion is to support you so your best self can shine and you are emotionally clear and empowered to enjoy your life.  To start things off, I invite you to download the above mentioned book.

What Are the Key Ingredients to Spiritual Breakthrough?


One is to place yourself in a field of collective wisdom, to surround yourself with good books and spiritual teachings that ring true to your heart. Once you find teachings that speak to you, you can find ways to integrate them into your daily life.  Our website is dedicated to such integration.  We offer spiritual teachings and tools to bring magic, transformation, inner peace, and a Cosmic Smile to life challenges.

We carefully select the teachings we feature.  We believe the quality of consciousness with which something is created directly affects the quality of consciousness with which it is experienced.  Each tool we offer is a window into a sense of greater wellbeing and heart expansion.

We have a lot of exciting projects in the works.  Thank you for being a part of the expansion!


Consider this:  Spiritual breakthrough happens naturally by remembering our deepest answers are within. We can find them directly in our Hearts and we can find ways to re-access them through community, spiritual tools, and books that point us back to our inner knowing.  

Stay for a while and enjoy your visit.  If you have comments, questions, are looking for spiritual tool recommendations, or just want to say hello, we'd love to hear from you.  You can reach me at Michael @ LuminousLiving.com (Without the spaces)


Two Buddhist teachers I have been influenced by are Pema Chodron and Thich Nhat Hanh.  There is a message they convey that is beyond words, a silent teaching that cuts to the core and takes you back into the simple and loving nature of your self.  Watch these videos and see if their teachings speak to you.

Intuisdom spiritual ebook guided meditation book


Designed as a companion book to Finding Fulfillment with Intuisdom, this book is a simple treatment of meditation as the primary practice used for becoming the natural Self. The purpose of Intuisdom is to assist people in becoming the natural Self, and this guide is all that is required for you to understand that process. Byers' work asserts spiritual development has been made too difficult to achieve naturally with the intellectual approaches we have created to reach an experiential truth.

radiance, inner being, nondual teaching, inner joy, self-awareness, free online book

This 65-page free spiritual e-book shows you how to experience the divine in the world in simple ways by being very present. This is the effect it had on one reader: "Your words are of great joy to me and very comforting. I'm still sending Radiance to everyone! It was a total ‘aha’ for me. It was like: 'yes, yes, true, true.' I cried all through it, and it took me over a week to read it. I can read 65 pages in an hour mostly, but my heart expanded too much, and I thought it would burst.
