Inside the Flame: The Joy of Treasuring What You Already Have
Author: Christina WatersPublisher: Parallax PressCategory: Memoirs, Popular Psychology, Assertiveness, Motivation & Self-esteem, Mind, Body, Spirit: Thought & Practice, Mind, Body, Spirit: Meditation & VisualisationBook Format: PaperbackInside the Flame invites readers to unplug their computers, cell phones, and televisions and plunge back into overlooked nooks and crannies of everyday experience. We've lost touch with the richness of the tangible and with it our reverence for the physical world. Our ability to focus on the here and now is in crisis. By illuminating ways to take a closer look at the world around, Inside the Flame will help readers heighten their surroundings, tune the volume more precisely, and live lives that are fuller, richer, more mindful, and more compassionately interwoven with others. Inside the Flame illustrates how attentive experience brings the world close, and how the world responds by infusing us with bold colors, memorable textures, and a more widely open heart.
