WRITING AS A PATH TO AWAKENING: A YEAR TO BECOMING AN EXCELLENT WRITER AND LIVING AN AWAKENED LIFE
Book ID/图书代码: 12317517C00006
English Summary/英文概要: The best writers say their work seems to come from a source beyond the thinking mind. But how do we access that source? “We must first look inside ourselves and be willing to touch that raw emotional core at the heart of a deeper creativity,” writes Albert Flynn DeSilver. In Writing as a Path to Awakening, this renowned poet, writer, and teacher shows you how to use meditation to cultivate true depth in your own writing—so your words reveal layers of profound emotional insight and revelation that inspire and move your readers.
Writing calls on us to fully engage our mind’s cognitive powers, while meditation often asks us to let go of thinking and storytelling. Though these two practices may seem incompatible, Albert teaches that they can be powerfully complementary. With a mixture of engaging storytelling and practical exercises, Writing as a Path to Awakening invites you on a journey of growth and discovery—to enhance your writing through the practice of meditation while using the creative process to accelerate your spiritual evolution.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 最好的作家说,他们的作品似乎来自于思维之外的源泉。但是我们如何触及这个源泉呢?“我们必须首先审视自己,并愿意在更深层次的创造力的核心,触及那原始的情感核心,”阿尔伯特弗林•德希尔弗写道。在写作的过程中,这位著名的诗人、作家和老师向你展示了如何运用冥想来培养自己写作的真正深度,从而使你的文字揭示出深刻的情感洞察力和启示,启发和感动你的读者。
写作要求我们充分调动大脑的认知能力,而冥想常常要求我们放弃思考和讲故事。尽管这两种实践看起来是不相容的,但阿尔伯特教授说,它们可以是强有力的互补。通过结合讲故事和实践练习,写作是一种觉醒的途径,让你在成长和发现的旅途中,通过冥想练习来提高你的写作,同时利用创造性的过程加速你的灵性进化。 (WYL)
