Graceful and gently powerful guidance and methods for seeking truth, depth, and loving awareness in one' life
The words of this lovely book echo the author's clear and "almost angelic"—in one student's words— sensitivity towards each individual he works with one-on-one during his classes and retreats. There is a depth in Your Deepest Ground that so often touches my body as I read, surfacing old "clampings down" and also surprising widenesses, both clues to a more generous, more integral, more truthful self knowing . The book details a particular and adaptable method, called meditative inquiry, that mirrors the way John works with individuals and groups. Exercises throughout the book offer the reader step-by-step handholding for this method on the subject of each chapter. The book's subtitle, "A Guide to Embodied Spirituality," predicts what the book itself embodies, that our body's signals and knowings, respectfully investigated, are crucial guides to a fuller life and an ever-deepening opening to the tremendous mystery of which we all are a part.
