An eclectic mix of contributors share their reflections about spiritual practices in their everyday lives. Each of the contributors in Faithful Practices describes their unique spiritual practice and the ways it opens them up to their hearts and souls. From chopping vegetables to creatively arranging action figures, from taking long walks to playing roller derby, these practices demonstrate the wide range of ways that we can be spiritual, and provide models for those seeking a practice of their own.
Although this book has Unitarian Universalist authors, the spiritual practices highlighted can be utilized by most, if not all, other beliefs. From the natural to the human-made, there are a variety of practices that readers can experiment with applying in their own life. Questions at the end of each chapter allow the reader to further ruminate on what they have just read, another form in of itself of mindfulness. This is a book that has meant to be returned to, rather than just a one-and-done read.
