Synopsis:
When circumstances are challenging, how do we react? This book offers methods to help us develop greater inner strength and openness to life by challenging the habit of "self-preoccupation" - the tendancy to act from a narrow perspective dominated by insecurity and isolation. When we learn to look outside this mentality and truly cherish others as well as ourselves, we create a happier, relaxed mind and more fulfilling relationships, as well as realizing our life's purpose in a meaningful way.
A long-time Buddhist practitioner and psychotherapist, Preece (author of Wisdom of Imperfection and the Psychology of Buddhist Tantra) shares traditional meditations and practices for awakening the mind and heart including tonglen, but he also offers a Jungian perspective on these, as well as his own views of how Westerners may need to re-see these practices to benefit most from them. Preece's insightful fusion of East and West will help readers tap inner resources of compassion and integrity in order to flourish in times of uncertainty and ultimately generate the altruistic aspiration to realize the awakened mind for the benefit of all living beings.
"Rob Preece's The Courage to Feel bridges with ease the worlds of Tibetan Buddhist meditation and Western psychology. He brings the magic and joy, as well as maps of the hard methodology, into every chapter." Glenn Mullin.
"This book has brought traditional Buddhist practices alive, translating them into these times and the personal and collective psyche into which we are born. This book is essential reading for those who want to engage with the deeper questions of meaning, as well as a resource for meditators, counselors, and psychotherapists." Maura Sills, co-founder and director of Karuna Institute. |
