"Pulling a raisin out of a two-year-old's nose probably wasn't on Buddha's path toward enlightenment, but it was one of the obstacles on mine. For me, and many of the women I know, stuck raisins and the other imperfect, real-life moments provide the best-- and sometimes only-- shot at spiritual growth in a day. Yet, we rarely see our imperfections as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Instead, we see them as something to hide, fix, change, deny. Then, we beat ourselves up over our flaws and mistakes. We feel guilty, inadequate, unworthy-- and ultimately responsible for the failings of the entire world and the overcooked pasta dinner. Whew. Enough already. It's time for a different approach. Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People provides a new perspective by showing you that the very imperfections you're trying to hide, are the ones that can put you on path of spiritual growth and greater well-being. You can lead a healthier, happier, more authentic life by adopting useful and easy spiritual practices that will help you shed the life-limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and develop the courage to embrace all that you are. Our imperfections are not liabilities, they hold possibilities. Imperfection is the very pathway leading toward an authentic life. It is the route toward purpose and meaning and freedom. And Imperfect Spirituality is the guide to get you there" -- from author's web site.
