The Soulkeeper’s Way
44 invitations to Heal, Remember, and Rise
The Soul Keeper’s Way
A gentle companion for clarity, healing, and returning to yourself
There are moments in life when everything looks fine on the outside —
but inside, something feels unsettled, unnamed, unresolved, quietly heavy.
This book was written for those moments.
The Soul Keeper’s Way was born from a season of deep loss and inward turning. After my mother passed, what followed wasn’t a search for answers or a dramatic spiritual awakening. It was a need for clarity — to look honestly at my life, my patterns, my grief, and the way I had learned to survive.
What I found was not something new.
It was something true.
Rooted in Buddhist teachings such as impermanence, compassion, and mindful awareness, this book approaches healing not as self-improvement, but as self-understanding. It invites you to look inward gently — without judgment, urgency, or pressure to be “better.”
Through 44 reflective invitations, this book offers space to:
• sit with love and loss without needing to resolve them
• forgive yourself for what you didn’t yet know
• soften the strength that once kept you silent
• recognize emotional patterns with clarity rather than blame
• return to yourself with steadier breath and clearer eyes
This is not a book about fixing what is broken.
It is a book about remembering what was never lost.
Many of us were taught to endure quietly — to stay longer than we should have, to be strong instead of honest, to carry pain without naming it. We learned how to function, how to hold it together, how to move on without ever fully looking back. But what we don’t process doesn’t disappear. It lingers — in the mind, in the body, in the small, restless moments when old conversations replay and unfinished relationships resurface.
This is the quiet anxiety many of us live with: not panic or chaos, but a constant mental revisiting of what we didn’t yet know how to forgive. The Soul Keeper’s Way creates room to meet that restlessness with clarity and compassion — to understand where it came from, and to forgive the version of yourself who survived with the tools they had at the time.
Each page is meant to be read slowly, intuitively, and in your own rhythm. There is no right order. No finish line. Only an invitation to notice what is ready to be seen.
This book is for thoughtful readers, quiet grievers, inward seekers — and for those who feel lost not because they are broken, but because they are ready to live with greater clarity and tenderness.
You are not broken.
You are becoming aware.
Let this book walk beside you — gently, honestly, and at your own pace.
The Lotus and the Moon-Theravāda Buddhist Teachings for the Modern Family- COMING SOON ***
For generations, Lao families have carried their traditions through temples, ceremonies, and daily rituals. In villages, life was always close to the temple: the sound of morning chants, the offering of rice at dawn, the joy of New Year, the solemnity of funerals.
For Lao families living abroad — in America and beyond — distance and pace often scatter these rhythms. Children grow up between cultures. Parents long to preserve traditions but wonder how to adapt them. Grandparents remember Laos vividly, but younger generations may know only fragments.
This book seeks to bridge those worlds. It is written as a living guide for the modern family — Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike — to understand the teachings of Theravāda Buddhism as they are practiced in Lao culture. It is not only about rituals, but about how the Dhamma is lived: in the birth of a child, in the union of marriage, in the remembrance of the departed, and in the festivals that bring joy to the year.
For Whom This Book Is Written
This book is for:
Parents who want to pass on their heritage and teach their children kindness and mindfulness.
Children and young adults who seek to understand the rituals and festivals their elders practice.
Grandparents who hope their traditions will not fade in a foreign land.
Friends and neighbors who may not be Buddhist but who wish to learn and honor these traditions with respect.
This book speaks through three voices:
the monk, who preserves the heart of the Dhamma;
the scholar, who brings history and understanding;
and the family guide, who shows how these teachings can be woven into daily life with grace and intention.
