About this title

Synopsis

Many people who consider themselves to be on a spiritual path suffer from the popular misconception that they must lose their sense of self in order to achieve the greater, universal connection that marks enlightenment. This book maintains instead that we simultaneously uncover our authentic selfhood and awaken our sense of universal connection as we experience the enlightenment process. It demonstrates the link between our sense of existing in our own distinct form, and our sense of unity with others and the world. Honouring the connection between memory, energy and the physical body, this book uses creative techniques to help the reader discover: how personal growth is an expression of the relationship between the individual and the cosmos; how to free the body from negative memories and protective habits; meditational and physical exercises that help develop the enlightened state.
