' People often contact me because they have lost some kind of meaning thread in their lives. Without a sense of meaning our lives lose their lustre. We endure our days rather than embrace the living of them. To enter the realm of meaning requires attention & dedication. It requires an interior, reflective life. It requires the calming of our usual chattering minds.'
In the noise & rush of life today we often yearn to find the natural stillness which is our birthright. This thoughtful & poetic guide explains the universal principles of meditation practice & mindful living. It is divided into four sections:
--Beginning Silence which reflects on the understanding that longing & discontent is a wake-up call, an invitation to begin.
--Growing Silence which dwells on yearning itself as a path, with acceptance of the ambivalence which accompanies any deep change.
--Practising Silence which describes the practise of meditation.
--Sharing Silence encourages the idea of formal practice with others to deepen & sustain the experience of cultivating a peaceful heart.
