Edited by Michael Toms, host and producer of the nationally syndicated "New Dimensions" radio series, this book brings together interviews with ten thinkers who have played primary roles in the contemporary spiritual renaissance. They talk about the power of the mind, the healing power of prayer, the benefits of mindfulness, and the vital link between mind, body, and spirit.
Sogyal Rinpoche reflects upon the true nature of mind and its impact on the inner world. Larry Dossey discusses his research and ideas on the significance of prayer. Jon Kabat-Zinn explores the value of meditation while Jack Kornfield celebrates the way of mindfulness. Meditation master Shinzen Young examines contemplative practice, and Marsha Sinetar zeroes in on what she calls "spiritual intelligence." Jeanne Achterberg salutes the healing power of imagery, and Gay Hendricks shows how a conscious approach to breathing is salutary to mind, body, and soul. The book concludes on a spiritual note with Neale Donald Walsch talking about conversations with God and Father Bede Griffiths sharing his thoughts on possible new directions for monastic life in America.
