The Journey of Spiritual Cultivation

Whether you are an experienced meditator or just starting your practice, this book will help you understand some of the subtle -- and not so subtle -- benefits and challenges that spiritual aspirants encounter. Meditation and spiritual cultivation can uplift us and heal us physically, mentally and emotionally. Some people are unaware that this process can also bring up unresolved psychological issues, awaken suppressed emotions, remove emotional blinders, and soften some of our psychological defenses. Understanding the process makes our journey easier and allows for deeper healing. Dr. Peake offers a unique perspective on the psychological aspects of meditation -- the heart of spiritual practice -- and explains why it is such a powerful and effective tool for healing. The Journey of Spiritual Cultivation supplies insights that prepare us for the challenges we may face. It also teaches us that spiritual cultivation helps not only ourselves, but everyone around us.
