Spirit Taking Form

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 161

Book Description
Anyone can make art. Finding one's spiritual center can come of making art. Making art can come of finding one's spiritual center. Nancy Azara has been teaching the making of art, art-making as a spiritual practice, and other spiritual practices for thirty-five years. She has developed a system that combines her lifelong spiritual practice with techniques designed to help anyone get and stay in touch with their own inner artistic souls. Spirit Taking Form is a practical book. It offers lists of materials to work with and exercises and meditation techniques to help everyone bring out their inner voice. It includes specific meditations for healing the inner critic, cultivating imagination, and finding one's artistic heart. Its meditations and exercises can be done many times, and each time they can bring the reader new and richer experiences and deeper insights. Throughout the book Azara shares her own story and the inspirations that have made her a successful artist. Using an old Sicilian folk tale taught to her by her grandfather, she has always sought to look at life with one eye open out to the world and the other closed, or turned inward. It is this skill more than any other that she seeks to engender in the reader through exercises such as "The Visual Diary." Learning and teaching about art from a place of spirit calls us to a challenge, a challenge to look at something very familiar, yet distant and remote. Spirit Taking Form offers insight into artistic expression and how it can be applied to life as a catalyst for growth, change, and expression.

What if you could achieve inner peace right now, regardless of your life circumstances? Shortcut to Spirituality: Mastering the Art of Inner Peace is a non-fiction manuscript based on the author's clinical work. Unlike many spirituality and self-help books, this book goes beyond information to offer a multi-dimensional approach that can save years of searching for inner serenity compared with either mediation or psychological techniques alone. The book offers an array of significant life lessons, introduced in a fresh and innovative way, from resolving stress, anxiety, and depression, to dealing with difficult people, conflicts, and complex emotions such as anger and grief. It describes a unique process to cope with various health problems as well as death and dying. Most significant, it approaches these issues from a practical. result-driven perspective not usually associated with spiritual writings. Many spiritual books are based on a special personal experience. Others reflect traditional religious principles or Eastern philosophies. In contrast, Shortcut to Spirituality is based on the author's clinical experience as a therapist, interacting with thousands of real people about daily challenges. The book also discusses a number of controversial topics, which readers will find stimulating and challenging.

The Art of Spiritual Direction

Author: Jos Moons
Publisher: Messenger Publications
ISBN: 1788122542
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160

Book Description
This is a concrete, practical book about spiritual accompaniment. While there may be no shortage of books on this matter, most of these books remain somewhat abstract in the way they highlight the beauty of this ministry and point out its pitfalls. This book instead resembles a toolbox with a user’s manual. In six chapters, the author presents the following tools: ‘there is no rush’, ‘listening by following’, ‘searching for the soul’, ‘going deeper’, ‘evaluating’, and ‘accompanying towards spiritual maturity’. By means of examples and case studies, he demonstrates how these tools may be used to good effect. Two introductory chapters discuss the choice for a practice-oriented book and the core values of an Ignatian approach to spiritual accompaniment. A final chapter specifically focuses on vocational discernment. New spiritual directors can learn from this book the tricks of the trade and experienced directors can be encouraged to reflect upon their own practice. Although it is written from a Roman Catholic, Jesuit background, this book may be used in a wider variety of Christian contexts.
