A practical guide to surviving and thriving in a world gone mad
Do you ever feel torn between finding refuge and staying informed and
engaged? Have you ever felt too stressed out to meditate? Too anxious to
roll out your yoga mat or pray?
The truth is, when the world gets chaotic and confounding, we need
spiritual practice more than ever. That's when our souls need
sustenance. That's when we need to recharge and ground ourselves to take
on the challenge.
This concise, compassionate guide is filled with tools and techniques
for accessing the sanctuary within you. They'll give you spiritual
support at a moment's notice, in whatever time you have, with whatever
attention you can spare.
Expert teacher Philip Goldberg draws on authoritative texts and teachers
from every spiritual path, especially the empirical methods of the Yoga
tradition-as well as contemporary psychology and scientific research.
The result is a wide range of techniques to relieve the mind and body,
refresh the spirit, and gird us for constructive action. You'll get
insightful instruction in practices ranging from deep meditation to
cognitive reframing to spiritual space management, from silently
communing with nature to actively engaging with others. And you'll find
detailed guidelines for creating a spiritual routine-along with an
inventory of supplementary practices-that suits your needs and
lifestyle.
This breezy, thorough, pragmatic book will help you find refuge and
healing from the crazy times we're living in-and it will prepare you for
taking robust steps to help restore sanity in the world around you.
