SACRED PRACTICES FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING explores approaches and ideas that enhance a sense of vitality and connection in daily life, themes such as compassion, wholeness, the interaction between visible and invisible worlds, generosity and gratitude, and the inescapable presence of suffering as part of life.

Through both guided meditations and experiments, you have an opportunity to practice mindfullness--being in the present moment, experience your place within collective consciousness, deepen a sense of meaning and purpose, and enhance your capacity to move through suffering with equanimity. The practices offered also can help you develop greater compassion for yourself and others, reduce stress in the face of the inevitable challenges and opportunities that arise in the course of life, generate a greater sense of abundance and prosperity, and add a sense of vitality to daily living.
