Dancing with your Shadow

Dancing with Your Shadow

Kim Nataraja

Dancing with Your Shadow deals with with the journey of meditation and what helps and what hinders us in practising this discipline. In the following chapters we will learn practical ways of arriving at stillness of body and mind to make it easier to enter this inner silence of meditation. The main difficulty will be quieting the mind and its chaotic thoughts that seem at first to be never-ending. But we will learn how to minimize and leave them behind Taken from the introduction

"Dancing with your Shadow" is written by an experienced teacher of meditation, who not only describes the practice of the "art of arts," giving due weight to stilling the mind and dealing with such problems as distractions and restlessness, but looks at it from the point of view of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. This wide-ranging and comprehensive book will be of great interest to all meditators, but especially to those following Christian meditation as rediscovered by John Main. The stories and quotations from various traditions with which the author illustrates her points are a joy in themselves! - Shirley du Boulay Author of 'The Cave of the Heart'

In these pages....anyone will find a guide, a friend, a teacher to walk and dance with. - Laurence Freeman OSB Spiritual Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation
