The Garden
of the Soul
lessons from four flowers
that unearth the Self
written by Lynn Serafinn
'You are already the hero of your own life. You did not earn this title. You did not have to. You were born the hero. It is your birthright. If you do not take up your birthright, no one else will do it for you. If you leave it unclaimed, the universe will remain bereft of something it passionately desires. The world will continue to long for that which only you can fulfil. It will dream of you again and again. It will call to you repeatedly. It will cry for you.
Then, finally, one day, in this lifetime or the next, or the next after that, you will finally take up the path of least resistance to the Self, and simply become the person you were always meant to be. And on that day, ever so easily, you will see that you were always the hero of this story-your story-and that all you ever needed in order to be the hero, was to look within the simple stories of your own life...'

This page is still
under construction!It is a book that dances freely on both sides of the bridge between fiction and non-fiction, to illustrate the unearthing of the human spirit, using autobiography, dream work, poetry and metaphor. It is a journey on the 'path of least resistance to the Self' using the metaphor of four flowers that represent four spiritual principles that bring wholeness to the Self: 'Give' (the Rose), 'Receive' (the Iris), 'Become' (the Daffodil) and 'Be' (the Lily). It is an open invitation to readers to explore how they are already the heroes of their own lives.

"While as spiritual as the works of Deepak Chopra, and as magical as the novels of Paolo Coelho, 'The Garden of the Soul' carries a unique identity within its genre. Reading this book took me on a journey through the entire gamut of human emotions, in all their lightness as well as all their intensity. Lynn is a master at beautifully and coherently weaving together prose and poetry, autobiography and fiction, fantasy and realism, drama and humour (and a lot more of the unexpected), all in service of sharing the wisdom of the Four Principles of the Garden of our Soul. With each amazing chapter of her life, Lynn brilliantly and ever so subtly allows for the blossoming and maturing of our own Soul and wisdom. This is a book I will be going back to again and again as a very powerful spiritual reference book, that is infinitely entertaining, moving and engaging all at the same time. I am certain that with each repeated reading, I will be discovering more gems in its nuances and within my own Soul. I absolutely love it!"

“Wonderful! 10 out of 10! An epic journey from the 1950s up to the present day –- with one woman’s personal journey of discovery. Engaging, intimate, open and profound, this collection of memoirs, fables and lyrical poetry will provide fertile ground so that your own 'Garden' can bloom. Keep this book on your bookshelf right next to 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'."

"...[when I read the prologue 'the Very Good King'], I was moved to tears (good ones) and put into a spiritual mood that lasted most of the day (not something that normally lasts that long for me)... Since reading this story, whenever I am aware of my inner wounded child feeling insecure, I remind myself I am commanded to live according to my nature… nurtured by the Earth, kissed by the Sun, cooled by the Moon, nourished by the Rains...It's a story I would love to retell and share!
"The Garden of the Soul is a book that will help you discover your Soul has a voice that can help you… learn how to treasure and leverage your natural spirit, realize the value of your own painful and delightful life stories and be inspired to appreciate Mother Nature's lessons and the power of honoring your own nature."
