    About this ebook

    This book is a spiritual toolboxfilled with techniques, practices, and suggestions to challenge every belief you presently hold. It will cause you to question whether your beliefs are supporting you and will assist in creating new beliefs that serve your best and highest good.

    From the introduction for The Power of Spiritual Vigilance:

    Thoughts are the building blocks of life. Our thoughts, beliefs, and subsequently our spoken words create our experience of reality and all that has shown up in our lives. Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy

    It is possible to live a life of harmony and balancefullness and wholeness. People who have developed a certain mastery over their thoughts, words, and actions, moment by moment, are practicing spiritual vigilance and the natural, subsequent result of that practice is living life with fearless faith.

      About the Author

      To my beloved parents, Robert and Pauline Poulin.

      Dad, you taught me by your example of courage and perseverance to never give up!

      Mom, you are now—and have always been—my biggest fan and cheerleader.

      Without you this book would not have been written. Thank you from the depths of my heart.

      Divine Discontent

      I do not plan to spend my life

      in mediocrity,

      And living as I am right now

      feels like hypocrisy.

      For I have yearnings deep within

      for places I must go,

      And people I have not yet met

      that my heart longs to know.

      I’ve learned the truth about the Self.

      My passion stores a house of wealth,

      From whence flow dreams out of the fire

      inherent within, fulfilling desire.

      I’m learning now from day to day

      to turn life’s work to joyous play!

      I am myself. A whole. Unique.

      That love alone fulfills, completes.

      I know now: life is what I choose

      and do not settle for,

      That I, with God, do cocreate

      All this and so much more!

      Foreword

      Hello! I greet you as a friend, for you have been guided to pick up this book to explore whether you wish to read it or not. Have you ever had a book almost jump off the shelf, one that, once you read it, changed your life? Well, one book did that for me, and others have confirmed that they, too, have had such an experience. This book you hold in your hands may do the same for you.

      You are in a state of divine discontent, or you would not be reading this now. The Spirit is nudging you to explore, change, and awaken to new possibilities. It seems we are on a plateau of satisfaction or complacency about everything at times; then comes an inner urging for something—often we have no idea what. When we follow this inner itching, often we will find ourselves moving into a higher plateau of being. Life becomes richer, fuller, and more harmonious. If you choose to follow the suggestions and practices Denise shares here, no guarantees are given; the final results are up to you. But this delightful, insightful book may offer solutions to some of the answers you are seeking for your life.

      First of all, her book is so readable. Her stories, examples, and illustrations will keep your interest. Second, it is an invaluable, spiritual toolbox you’ll use for the rest of your life, for these tools can be life changing. You will select some tools now that meet your immediate needs, but you will find yourself coming back again and again to explore and use other tools as you’re ready. Third, it is at the same time practical yet thought provoking. You won’t feel overwhelmed before you begin, but you are willing to say, Yes! I can and I want to do this!

      This is a book that not only is interesting to read but also offers life-changing tools—what more can you ask for? The rest, as they say, is up to you. I encourage you to take a step forward on the path of spiritual vigilance and know what if feels like to live your life in fearless faith!

      Blessings on your path!

      Introduction

      All that we are is the result of

      what we have thought.

      —Buddha

      Thoughts are the building blocks of life. Our thoughts, beliefs, and subsequently our spoken words create our experiences of reality and all that has shown up in our lives. Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many of these thoughts and core beliefs are preprogrammed into our minds at a very early age.

      As we move through life, we create judgments and opinions about everything without any real evidence to support them and then we attract an experience or event to validate our biases, to prove our rightness. Many of these opinions are the
