Editorial Reviews

08/01/2014
From the author of Seeing Anew comes a pathway to spiritual experience through the practice of mindfulness. Psychotherapist Sheehan weaves together real-life stories, meditations, poetry, and psychological truths to demonstrate how the spirit can reach practitioners through stillness and mindful attentiveness. The author addresses some of the universal human desires: to be needed, to be authentic, and to accept oneself. At the end of each chapter, Sheehan guides readers through "a moment for mindfulness," taking them through breathing exercises, journaling, potential roadblocks on the journey to peace, and a closing blessing. VERDICT A solid choice for those interested in developing the spiritual aspects of meditation.
