Reviews
“In
these pages anyone…. will find a guide, a friend and
a teacher to walk - and to dance - with.”
LAURENCE FREEMAN (Spiritual Director of the World Community
for Christian Meditation)
"'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 discovered by John
Main. And 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')
"I
really like your book. It is deep, and easy to read. Thank
you for writing it."
