The frenzied world around us has a tendency to drive people inward, toward self-exploration and developing an inner light and a personalized spiritual practice that has become as vital as physical health. Growing Your Inner Light is a guidebook to creating and fostering your own independent spiritual practice, providing a framework to bring spirituality into your life in meaningful, useful ways."Growing Your Inner Light gives readers the freedom to integrate aspects of different spiritual traditions - ore create their own unique practice. As Owen writes, "spiritual development is a natural part of being human, a way to grow the intensity of their inner light throughout life." Structured in thirteen chapters, with each element meant to be implemented over one month, topics include:"* Creating sacred space for spiritual practices?* Clarifying motivation, intention, and clearing the mind?* Meditating, praying, and receiving spiritual guidance?* Working with dreams and developing intuition?* Beginning a vision quest and retreat?* Exploring the material realm and the natural world?* Performing rituals"There is a gap in current spiritual lifestyle books, in that they may propose new ideas, but don't offer the necessary analysis for an individual to take the wide and varying perspectives and form one cohesive and personal path. This book gives readers the freedom to integrate from different traditions while preserving the integrity of each tradition. Similar to The Artist's Way in structure, it's a perfect book for both the beginner and the long-time spiritual seeker.
