| Publisher Description: "Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge."-William WordsworthIn "A Journey of Just Five Feet", the poet leads the reader in meditation, to travel energetically through the body toward meeting (and rejoining) God and the true self. The reading of these poems becomes a meditative act itself. With a Masters in Sociology, Ashkum Ashwick has crafted poems that are mindful, detailed, and instructive. This collection of 21 verses joins the new poetic movement of spiritual poetry and the ancient tradition of mystic poets. It is both a homage to the Divine and a handbook for seeking spiritual divinity through the physical science of meditation. A Journey of Just Five Feet is a reference to the physical body of the devotee and the inner journey to be traveled along the highway of subtle regions. At the heart of meditative practice is the revolutionary promise: We can learn to see truly. To see the world, including ourselves, past illusions and expectations. As it is. As we are. Meditation is transformative. It promotes better physical health (improving the immune system, vascular and pulmonary systems, longevity), psychological health (reducing anxiety, stress, regret and hatred while promoting clarity, harmony, decisiveness) and ultimately, spiritual health. This is the book you didn't know you needed. Get one for yourself and someoneyou love. |
