The inspiration for this journal was sparked by reading ‘The Secret to Higher Self Living’ by John Burgess. The new concepts and paradigms propounded in his book, motivated her to reframe it in a journal setting for progressive training and personal growth toward Higher Self living.

"The Secret of Higher Self Living book by John Burgess is for me, a ‘sort of splendid torch’ that by means of this working journal, burns brightly so that future generations can benefit. The concepts covered in his unique book are key to living each day of our lives the best we can be – in our Higher Self. The idea to reconstitute the essence of his book into a working journal, met with John’s enthusiastic support. It was a great privilege to have him collaborating with me and guiding me every step of the way.
The journal begins with an overview of Higher Self Living on which daily intentions and reflections are based." - Sharon Bierman
"The guided journalling practice focuses on the mindfulness required to identify one’s daily ‘state of being’, understanding that one vacillates continuously between different levels of Higher Self and Lower Self throughout each day.
The differentiation of this journal is that it becomes a bridge between an in-depth understanding of The Secret of Higher Self Living and the practical application and habits that self-journalling creates, which ensures fundamental steps are taken and habits are formed." - John Burgess

Fear Less Love More
The one fault in our stars is the grip that fear has on us. Yes, and we heard all your hasty denials! It’s okay, no one likes to admit a soft underbelly. Fear is everyone’s flaw, so we’re average on that score. To transcend from mediocre to marvelous we need to calibrate our thinking, feelings, and behavior to the superior quality of love.
Appreciate the Miracle of Life
There is no excuse really, given that we have National Geographic exploring the marvels of our planet in up-close-and-personal HD video. But let’s face it, worries are the stuff that disturb our sleep and blot out the beauties of a brand new day. Instead of a cheerful ‘Good Morning, Lord’, most of us wake up saying, ‘Oh, good lord, it's morning!’, right? Fear not, help is on the way. In a nanosecond, you can nuke the stream of negatives that run on autopilot in your head.
Stay more Effortlessly in Your Higher Self
Oh that our default was the best version of us, our fabulous, adventurous, fearless Higher Self! We’ll only tell you bad news if we can shine a light on a solution, so sit down for a minute while we level with you. Our default is to Lower Self - like it or not - sad emoji. Whenever we’re not conscious of what we’re thinking and doing, we’re going to project Lower Self stuff.
The good news is, we don’t have to stay there, and yes, taking a couple of deep breaths, charging up our awareness and dragging ourselves towards our better self is an option. But because we’re constantly vacillating back into Lower Self, that procedure has to be on a ‘repeat’, or ‘loop’ setting.
But there’s a shortcut - ah, we know this appeals to the lazy in all of us, so here’s the deal. Paradigm shifts (attitude adjustment for those who struggle with technical speak) literally catapult us to a level where we half the negative and double the positive. We offer Seven Secret Paradigms - take your pick, work through them one at a time - whatever, but the results are guaranteed. You get to remain more effortlessly in Higher Self….
Negotiate the Changing World and Look Good Doing it
It’s hard to look cool with everything shifting under our feet. But what if you had a superpower that kept you upright no matter what? Among all the abilities you imagine could alleviate your pain, there is one we all have that works perfectly. We were born with and while many of us buried ours, it’s still there…waiting. It’s called non-attachment. We kid you not. It’s a big word and an even bigger concept but it’s the one secret weapon we have that exists to help us negotiate change and everything that’s temporary in this life, and look great doing it.
Minimise Your Negatives & Maximise Your Strengths
Light and dark, positive and negative, strengths and weakness, just like heads and tails, are two sides of the same coin. And just like coins, only one side can face up. But life can’t be negotiated by tossing stuff up in the air, hoping for the best. We get to decide which side of the coin is going to make a showing.
How to Keep Your Head When Everyone is Losing Theirs
Humans are sentient beings. We are aware of one another, we have our internal radar permanently scanning our intuition for its feedback and our environment to pick up cues so we can choose appropriate responses. And we probably all do quite well when we’re on our own or in charge of matters. The trouble starts when people around us are in panic mode or exhibiting knee-jerk, Lower Self reactions. Rudyard Kipling supplied a clue about how best to be, in his timeless poem entitled ‘IF’. Part of it goes like this….”If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,... Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”
If you want that awesome superpower Kipling describes, you’re in the right place..
