A Note from Arria Deepwater
Author of "Love Threshold: Practicing the Art of Choosing Love in Every Moment"
You may be wondering why you should read Love Threshold. I want to provide you with some
additional information about who the book is designed for, the questions it addresses, the benefits you
can expect to receive, and a couple of other key points.
This page may seem strangely long to you. Most authors don't provide you with this much information
about their book. I've done this because I know that buying a book is like starting a relationship. It's
a leap of faith for the reader. (Especially if you have never seen me live or don't already have a good
sense of who I am.)
I want this relationship to start off on the right foot. Spiritual work is a powerful and incredibly
important art dealing with the most tender and vulnerable parts of who we are. I don't think I should be so arrogant as to assume that you are going to buy the book because I am proud of it and whole bunch of other people said they liked it.
It's my responsibility as a spiritual leader to encourage you to make strong, empowered, informed decisions about the material you choose to surround yourself with - regardless of whether or not you ever purchase a single one of my products.
So let me ask you this ...
Can you recognize yourself in any of these examples?
At it's core, this book explores the question:
So many spiritual books provide beautiful and powerful insight without solid, practical, and applicable techniques to integrate the revelations they offer into your everyday experience.
That's what my book, Love Threshold, is all about!
What can Love Threshold bring to your spiritual experience of life?
Through reading Love Threshold you can:
The thing about Love ...
Is that it is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the human experience. There are actually two forms of it. I call these two forms, "Big 'L' Love" and "little 'l' love." Both are powerful for their own reasons, but let's breakdown the key differences between them.
Most of us grow up living in and moving from our human self (our personality.) The problem with that is that our personality is fickle, short-sighted, changeable, easily hurt, triggered, and manipulated, focused on judgment, and very willful. Don't get me wrong - I think we are fabulous, but our human side, when left it it's own devices, doesn't know much about peace. And it's not really supposed to.
The human self was designed as a vessel for our divine self. Our personalities are designed to seek, receive, respond to, and carry the impulses of our souls. We are meant to become channels of peace - the presence of Love. We are destined to live from a deeper, more expansive, consciousness than the one we can muster with our hearts and minds. So Love Threshold teaches you how to unplug from your personality and root yourself deeply into your infinite core truth. It teaches you how to move from "love" to "Love."
Then why do I call it a Threshold?
It's a very good question and I get it all the time. Most of us think about our limits when we hear the word threshold. We think about maximum tolerance levels, as in "pain thresholds" or "I am reaching my threshold here!" But if you look the word threshold up in the dictionary, you will find something very interesting.
When I read this I realized that it was the perfect symbol for my work. So many of us think we can't choose Love in a given situation because things have just gone too far or we don't have enough strength or commitment to stick with our compassionate peaceful ideals. All of our excuses for not choosing Love over fear or conflict are based in lack - ours or someone elses.
How powerful would it be then to realize that the moment we think we have reached the end of our human capacity to love, we shift to a higher capacity to Love? Because it is in those moments of greatest doubt and confusion that our true power to choose it can begin.
Your Love Threshold is a dynamic thing and can shift depending on the circumstances. For example, you may find it very easy to choose Love in one case (a situation where there isn't much at stake) but be extremely challenged in others. It is ironic that when our circumstances get tangled up in our human idea of love, they often challenge us the most when it comes to choosing the more divine perspective of Love.
Over time, as you learn to practice the three steps of Thresholding and deepen your understanding of the principles behind them, your Threshold becomes stronger, more creative, and more resilient. You find yourself living more and more fully from your soul and you make decisions from your core authentic truth. Everything you do - every interaction and decision, each choice and experience, becomes a living demonstration of the Love you came here to live.
Life then becomes about looking for and finding your Love Threshold - getting better at it with every opportunity to practice. It's not always easy, but it is always worth it.
Is Love Threshold really for you?
I am not sure, but I can think of a couple of ways for you to get clear on it yourself:
Link #1 is active. Link #2 & #3 are still under construction, but will be ready soon - and they are worth coming back for!!
One more thing that I am really proud of ...
Love Threshold: Practicing the Art of Choosing Love in Every Moment has been printed exclusively on paper made from 100% post-consumer recycled fibers. I made sure of it! As a conscious entrepreneur I believe it is my responsibility to do everything possible to reduce the ecological footprint of my business. Additionally, as a spiritual leader, it made no sense to me that in trying to spread a message of healing and change, I would be adding to the problem of deforestation, resource over-use, consumption, and the status quo.
No, instead I insisted that the book stand as an example of how easy it is to be a part of the solution, not the problem. After all ... it is the Loving thing to do.
I would, of course, feel blessed if you were to purchase the book. However, I also truly feel honoured that, in your journey of exploring your spirituality, you have found yourself on this site and reading this page. As I end this note I would like to offer you a sign of my respect and admiration by sharing with you the dedication of my book. I mean it as sincerely here as I do in the opening pages.
In Love,
Arria Deepwater

Can you recognize yourself in any of these examples?
* Maybe you are passionate about your spiritual growth but struggle with recurring cycles of self-doubt and
feeling like you should be more spiritually advanced
* Or you may have recently gone through an intense time of grief, pain, or change and, as a result, feel
"spiritually shakey" - as if your faith has slipped away and you aren't sure how to get it back.
* Perhaps you feel haunted by your past (or your old programming), as if no matter how deeply you reach for
release, you just can't seem to let it go and step into personal freedom and peace
* Or possibly you have a difficult time merging your spiritual faith with the daily responsibilities of your life and
the demands of your schedule and are seeking a form of practice that allows you to feel more present and
integrated
At it's core, this book explores the question:
How can I connect with the infinite Love of my divine soul
and integrate it fully into my human experience?

Link #1 is active. Link #2 & #3 are still under construction, but will be ready soon - and they are worth coming back for!!
- You could read this sample chapter. "Principle Five: Love Can Only Thrive With Gratitude" It's my gift to you so you can get a sense of what the book is like.
- You could listen to this sample mp3. It is an excerpt from a talk I gave at a Unity Centre in Mississauga, Ontario in September 2009 that explains the three steps of Thresholding.
- Or you could review this list of study questions. These questions are helpful for your spiritual focus and development regardless of whether or not you actually read Love Threshold. If however, you decide to buy the book, they are just wonderful for helping you work through the material with maximum effectiveness and understanding.
