Self-Help
In 1977, Elizabeth Lesser cofounded the Omega Institute, now
America's largest adult-education center focusing on
wellness and
spirituality. Working with many of the eminent thinkers of
our times,
including Zen masters, rabbis, Christian monks, psychologists,
scientists, and an array of noted American figures--from
L.A. Lakers
coach Phil Jackson to author Maya Angelou--Lesser found that by
combining a variety of religious, psychological, and healing
traditions, each of us has the unique ability to satisfy our
spiritual
hunger.
In The Seeker's Guid, she synthesizes
the lessons
learned from an immersion into the world's wisdom traditions and
intertwines them with illuminating stories from her daily life.
Recounting her own trials and errors and offering meditative
exercises,
she shows the reader how to create a personal practice,
gauge one's
progress, and choose effective spiritual teachers and
habits. Warm,
accessible, and wise, this book provides directions through
the four
landscapes of the spiritual journey:
THE MIND:
learning meditation to ease stress and anxiety
THE HEART:
dealing with grief, loss, and pain; opening the heart and
becoming fully alive
THE BODY: returning the body to the
spiritual fold to heal and
overcome the fear of aging
and death
THE SOUL: experiencing daily life as an
adventure of meaning and mystery
