The Power Of Acceptance: One Year Of Mindfulness And Meditation

by Mollie Player

"Eckhart Tolle and other spiritual teachers insist that continuous meditation is possible for us all. Which brings up a simple yet profound question in many of their Is it, really? Can a normal person like me experience an ongoing sense of onenness with the Divine? In The Power of Acceptance, one spiritual seeker attempts to answer this question. Following her year-long attempt to meditate daily, then to remain in the state of meditation as much as possible throughout the day, it chronicles both her significant successes as well as her ... well, learning opportunities. Featuring six honest, in-depth interviews with experienced meditators, it is less an advice book than a refreshingly honest look at this widely-practiced prescription for happiness."
