More About This Book

Overview

A comprehensive guide for creating a daily spiritual practice, Growing Your Inner Light offers tangible advice on developing a unique spiritual path that fits exactly who you are, what you need as a spiritual being, and how you want to live. Author Lara Owen shows how a personalized practice can open the doors to living fully with integrity and to feeling connected with the surrounding world.

Growing Your Inner Light gives readers the freedom to integrate from different traditions - and develop new ones - in order to create their own spiritual tradition. Owen explains how practices from global religions can be combined with contemporary wisdom to create an authentic experience for readers yearning for a sense of inner peace. With a direct experience of spiritual meaning and connection, Growing Your Inner Light is a groundbreaking, transformative journey through thirteen phases of your growth, including: developing intuition; creating sacred spaces and altars; understanding your dreams; exploring the importance of retreats, meditation, and rituals.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Owen (Her Blood Is Gold: Awakening to the Wisdom of Menstruation; Love Begins at 40: A Guide to Starting Over) here addresses herself to the spiritual journey. Recognizing that many undertake such journeys in relative isolation or seek out solutions and approaches all their own, she offers advice on matters such as creating sacred space, rituals, and altars; coming to terms with personal history, meditation, and dreams; and the sense of wonder and our making use of time spent alone. VERDICT This pleasant but rather generalized guide through alternative spiritual practice is worth considering for a neopagan audience.
From the Publisher
"Lara Owen's Growing Your Inner Light is a beautifully written and inspiring spiritual guide for those of an independent heart and mind. You will find it full of helpful jewels and practical wisdom, whether you are experienced or new to spirituality, and whatever your tradition or belief system." — William Bloom, PhD, author of Soulution: The Holistic Manifesto and founder of the Foundation for Holistic Spirituality
