Let this moment be a new beginning.

BY SANDY C. NEWBIGGING

NEWBIGGING, IS THAT YOUR REAL NAME? Is one of the most popular questions that Ive been asked since publishing the first edition of New Beginnings. An obvious choice of book title for my first book, you may think. But funnily enough, I didnt actually know what to call this book when I first wrote it. In the end I needed the guidance of a good friend to help me to see a solution that had been staring me in the face the entire time.

Similarly, it is easy to become so distracted by the finer details of the daily routine that we end up missing the bigger-picture point of being alive. By getting caught up with our never-ending list of things to do, we can forget to stop occasionally to just be and enjoy the journey as we move towards creating the life we ultimately want. With this in mind, it is my hope that New Beginnings will give you a fresh perspective on the purpose of life that inspires you to make every moment matter. By letting this moment be a new beginning, this book shows you how to embrace the new, let go of problems, attract what you want and, best of all, live happily ever after not in a land far far away, but in the real-world reality of the here and now.

Since Publishing New Beginnings
In the spirit of walking my talk, I set myself the challenge of applying the messages from New Beginnings to my own life, with miraculous results.

Soon after the book was originally self-published in 2005 I got invited to work as a therapist on three separate television series that were shown in thirty countries around the world. The publicity from these shows led to me being offered big book deals from major publishing houses (leading to the publication of two best-selling books), run holistic health retreats in the UK, Spain, France, Turkey, Thailand and Australia, and train people from fifteen countries in the Mind Detox Method: a form of therapy that I accidentally created along the way!

Personally, Ive made fantastic friendships, visited and lived in beautiful places, become debt-free and even bought myself a convertible and a motorbike! All without much stress or struggle, and instead, by focusing on being, loving, and attracting. Exciting, Im sure you will agree especially because the latter focus was the new way of living that I offered readers in the first edition of New Beginnings.

When the Student Is Ready
Perhaps one of the more unexpected developments since writing the first edition of New Beginnings was meeting my spiritual teacher and becoming what can best be described as a modern-day monk. Ive meditated for thousands of hours since, had the opportunity to teach meditation around the world and published another book on the subject Thunk! (Findhorn Press, 2012).

When you combine the experience that has come from working with a wide variety of people at my clinics, courses, and retreats, guidance from my spiritual teacher and insight gained from countless hours of meditation, my experience of life has moved on somewhat since I wrote New Beginnings in 2005. Now feels like the perfect time to offer a new edition of this much-loved book.
