LIVING BY NUMBERS
Numbers are instantly recognizable and feature in everyone's life. Elementary, dependable, yet mysteriously abstract, everything can be translated into a number. 
In this book, the numbers will guide you through the simple equation: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 to get back to the basics of life from where you can begin to clear the conditioning of the past. When you listen to the numbers, you'll discover how to break out of the karmic loop of numbers 2 and 3, and step into the magical connection of 1 and 4. From there, you can awaken your extraordinary potential, and start living the life you want. Included in the book, there is a dictionary of numbers, as well as illustrated yogic exercises, breathing techniques, a suggested daily practice, meditations and many other useful ways to help you stay centred whenever you meet one of life's inevitable difficulties. Everything happens in the moment, and you must be ready.
Trying to understand the ways of the world is hard enough, but recognising and addressing our own habits and issues can be even more confusing. Nothing in life is ever easy, because there are always two sides to the same coin. Just as there is an opposite to everything - north/south, man/woman, black/white, left/right, big/small, so within your one being, there are two of you; your soul who lies hidden deep within, and your ego. Ego is who you believe you are. It's the front you put up; your mask, identity, personality, but it's not the real you. Behind the grimaces, innuendos, smiles or stiff upper lip, there is your soul. The soul just is. It doesn't believe that this or that should be happening, or get worked up about whether something is fair or not. It doesn't concern itself with what is "bad" or even with what is "good". It just is. Soul is part of that extraordinary mystery that we can't explain. Some call it God; others feel more comfortable with a title such as Spirit or Cosmic Consciousness, and many just refer to it as "it".
As part of the universal power, each soul brings a unique gift into the world to offer humanity. The whole point of life is to bring this light out from the depths of your being and realise it. 
This is the journey of the soul, but it's no easy task. Set along the path of your journey are many, many challenges. It begins with the family you are born into. This is your core base on Earth, and meeting and neutralising all the issues that are passed down the ancestral line, as well as your conditioning that started to form the minute you laid eyes on another person, sets the agenda for your journey. Everyone you meet along the way will reflect the issues that you need to resolve so that your ego lets down its guard and allows the soul to shine through.
Everything can be translated into a number, even feelings and emotions. These can be really hard to grasp, because they have no form, but when you translate them into a number, you have something tangible on which to focus and meet. Through the simple equation: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10, Living by Numbers offers a few stepping stones that just might help you to find the way in your journey through life.
On the following pages are some excerpts from each chapter of the book, which I hope will speak to both your rational mind that needs to understand, and your inner, all-knowing self who is ready and waiting to come to light.
