About the Book

Be Inspired and Uplifted! Dorena shares true stories from her third and fourth decades of life that illustrate one possible version of how walking a deeply spiritual path can look. The stories affirm how each of our lives are extraordinary despite being completely ordinary to us. Be prepared to smile, laugh, gain insight and be amazed. In the stories Dorena contemplates: what beliefs are, where they come from, and how to change them the simplicity of healing and personal growth the power of positive action within a harm reduction model how we already have enough knowledge and everything we need is within us She also describes: her experiences working with a shaman in a medical office how giving thanks in all circumstances, both positive and negative, changes things how she lets go of victim mentality to free herself to achieve what she really wants the complex physiology of breathing and calcium balance in the body how she buzzed her head in response to a mid-life crisis the use of hypnosis to reframe and recreate life The Answers are Within - A collection of personal stories provides spiritual inspiration without using a religious or God based model. Perfect for people that see the divinity in all things or marvel at the mystery of life from a more scientific viewpoint, as well as for people with a strong identification with God or a higher power.

About the Author :
Dorena Rode was born in 1964 in Detroit, Michigan. She moved to California in 1979 as a runaway. There she worked in restaurants in a variety of capacities and went back to school to study art, early childhood education, and writing. After taking a course in Folk Medicine at the Cabrillo Community College, she became interested in herbal medicine and pursued training in Traditional Chinese Medicine while simultaneously completing an undergraduate degree in chemistry with highest honors from UC Santa Cruz (1988). As a child and young adult, Dorena found sustenance in the manifestation of the divine in the world. Her altar was her garden and the natural wonders of the world. When Dorena joined her first Twelve Step fellowship in 1989, that marked the beginning of a formal spiritual path and a program of self-improvement. After close to twenty years in Twelve Step programs, Dorena began studying with the Asian Classics Institute. The teacher training program she completed was developed by Geshe Michael Roach, the first westerner to earn a Geshe degree (twenty-five years training) at a Tibetan Monastery. She began teaching Buddhism in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2011. In addition to her study of the classical Tibetan Buddhist texts under Geshe Michael Roach, Dorena subsequently has studied with Master Culadasa, the leader of the Dharma Treasure Sangha, whose teachings emphasize nonsectarian Buddhism. The culmination of her studies in Buddhism resulted in her publishing the book: The Twelve Steps as a Path to Enlightenment - How the Buddha Works the Steps in 2012. In 2004, Dorena returned to school (UC Davis) and earned a doctorate in physiology. Her research involved exploring the effects of stress on female reproductive health and how herbs can be used to correct problems. Her doctoral research was funded by a personal predoctoral grant from the National Institute of Health - National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Starting in 1995, Dorena studied Chi Gung and Tai Chi with Richard Upton, and in 2011 Ba Gua and Hsing Yi with Tom Morrissey (student of late Master Kenny Gong). She maintains an active internal arts practice and leads classes. Dorena is the mother of one grown daughter and currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She spends her time meditating, gardening, teaching, a wide variety of subjects related to health, and helping people improve their lives as a certified ThetaHealer(r
