A workbook of simple walking exercises to quiet the mind, expand consciousness, and rediscover our sacred relationship with Earth. * Foreword by Victor Sanchez, author of The Teachings of Don Carlos. * Includes 45 walking techniques that were developed from the author's work with Huichol Indians of western Mexico. * Explores the power of moving meditation for achieving new levels of spiritual awareness through connecting with elements of the natural world. * Includes group and individual exercises. In Earthwalks for Body and Spirit, a workbook of 45 simple walking exercises, author and workshop leader James Endredy shows us how the act of walking can be a catalyst for personal transformation by teaching us to develop our attention, quiet the mind, expand our consciousness, and rediscover our sacred relationship with Earth. Each of the exercises, many of which are based on the author's work with the traditional indigenous practices of the Huichol Indians of western Mexico, offers step-by-step instructions and comments that will help you to gain the most from the walk. Additionally, the author focuses each group of exercises on a different aspect of transformation-there are walks of attention and awareness; group connection; connection to the nierikas (powers) of Sun, Water, Wind, Fire, and Mother Earth; connection to the energies of animals, trees, and places of power; and finally, as a way of honoring both your new understanding of Self and your deepened relationship with Earth, walks of offering and vision.

What did the Dalai Lama say to the pizza guy from Brooklyn? ‘Make me one with everything!’ It’s a familiar joke, muses Lama Surya Das, but it holds a profound truth: that in addition to inner peace, meditation is a path for all-inclusive connection .With Make Me One with Everything, he invites us to experience this expansive dimension of the dharma through the art of intermeditation. If you’ve ever felt at one with something your beloved or your child, a wooded trail, a favorite song then you’ve experienced intermeditation, teaches Surya Das. Based on Tibetan Buddhism’s core insights into the deeply connected nature of who we are, intermeditation offers both new and experienced meditators a fresh new way to commune with every moment on and off the cushion in oneness with our partners, our family and friends, our enemies, those in need near or far, our higher Selves, and Nature itself.
