the long version

Lesser provides directions through the four landscapes of the spiritual journey: The Mind: developing awareness, learning meditation, easing stress and anxiety. The Heart: finding what one really loves, dealing with grief and loss, becoming fully alive The Body: returning the body to the spiritual fold, healing, coping with aging and the fear of death. The Soul: naming God for ourselves, exploring other realms of consciousness, trusting the mysterious nature of the universe, developing compassion and forgiveness.--From publisher description.
