One of the most important inspirational writers of our time, and an
internationally acclaimed spiritual guide, Anthony de Mello here
presents a way toward peace of mind, inner power, and joy through simple
spiritual exercises that blend the ancient traditions of the East with
the psychological and philosophical perspectives of the West.
Wellsprings is intended to guide us to a deeper appreciation of the
physical and mystical realms within us.
In these pages, numerous aspects of self-awareness are explored that for
many people are often left uncultivated in the rapid pace of modern
life. In the tradition of the great spiritual leaders of the past, de
Mello directs the whole person toward a state of harmony and grace --
in heart and mind, body and soul. This book's great insights into our
universal spiritual yearnings have had tremendous resonance the world
over, and its simple lessons of the spirit have touched the lives of
millions.
Wellsprings is indeed a book for everyone who thirsts for inner growth
-- regardless of age, religion, or cultural background. If read
carefully, its exercises will lead from mind to body, from thought to
fantasy and feeling. It is then that we are both freed and empowered,
awakened to reality and our real selves. For, as the teacher explains,
in solitude your self is given back to you.
