Bøker av Doug Kraft

Deepening is about practices and perspectives that help consciousness deepen into itself. These work in meditation, psychotherapy, and our own contemplations. This 55-page booklet provides a practical overview of these processes along with detailed examples of how they work, whether we are using them to open ourselves or to guide others. Most of us have more wisdom and heart than we give ourselves credit for. Deepening opens our awareness to capacities we have overlooked. It's not about climbing a mountain as much as settling into a depth. It's not about conquering a beast as much as about discovering well-being that has been patiently waiting to be seen. Pure awareness-that is awareness without content-has a slightly luminous quality. It's a quiet joy we can't hold or even adequately describe. All we can do is surrender into it. Doug Kraft mentors meditators around the world. He's a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and ordained Unitarian Universalist minister. He enjoys walks along a River in northern California where he lives with his wife and cat, and has visits from grandchildren. He has written ten books about Buddhist practice.
