Willingly ACT for Spiritual Development: Acknowledge, Choose, & Teach Others

by Hank Robb, Daniel J. Moran (Foreword)

Your spiritual dimension provides a place where you notice the world around you, the thoughts, emotions, and sensations within you, and gives space for choosing how you relate to it all. Like the eye of a hurricane, your spiritual dimension provides a stable center, and a platform to use to pick the directions you travel in life, and the manner you choose to move in those directions. It is a place from which you can choose to travel willingly, rather than grudgingly, even in the stormy winds of life.
Willingly ACT for Spiritual Development identifies eleven features of our spiritual dimensions and provides activities to expand these capacities here and now. It demonstrates how we can relate spiritually to our fight, flight, freeze responses, rather than responding with our mind and body only. These alarm responses inevitably arise as we pursue our deepest desires, but sometimes produces our deepest sorrows. It provides an opportunity for learning to engage from our spiritual center even as our mind and body push us to avoid. Spiritual development means learning to ride the waves in our storms instead of tumbling around in them. We more frequently recognize the difference between acting in the moment and acting only for the moment… and we do this by willingly acknowledging, willingly choosing, and willingly teaching to others this approach to spiritual development.

Li o livro após um ótimo e divertido workshop sobre espiritualidade em psicoterapia com o autor na ACBS Conference deste ano. Foi um bom complemento ao curto workshop, com várias ideias com reformulações um tanto originais e metáforas 'físicas' interessantes para uso pessoal e eventualmente com clientes. Espero que mais pessoas entrem em contato com a abordagem do autor.
