“BE what you seek!” – A Jolt of Joan – for the week of March 13, 13
Do you seek understanding? Then be understanding.
Do you seek love? Then be love.
Do you seek the harmony? Then be the expression of harmony.
Do you seek peace? Then be the expression of peace.
But you might ask,
How can I find within myself the ability
to be understanding, love, harmony and peace?
Beyond the chaos of our lives, beyond the suffering
in the deepest part of our being
there is peace, harmony, love and understanding.
However to reach this part of us it is important
that we give up the struggle.
Joan King’s life path embodies the blending of the hard and noetic sciences. At the tender age of seventeen, she stepped into life at the Dominican convent in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Eleven years later she left that religious training to become a chemist, and then received a Ph.D. in neuroscience and psychology. Her twenty-year tenure as a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, lead her to a dynamic crossroads of personal self-discovery. She left academia. Her new found "inner knowing" ignited the writing of her first book. It became the foundation in understanding how our bodies model the teachings of our beliefs. Joan King’s blending of science and spirituality birthed her professional coaching business, Beyond-Success LLC, in 1998.
