5.0 out of 5 stars Carefully Curated Collection!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017
Reading this book is a consciousness-raising experience, even for those who may have spent a significant amount of time studying world religions. My hat is off to Netanel Miles-Yepez for his thoughtful compilation. The essays, each written by different authors from diverse religious backgrounds, specifically focuses attention on the practice of meditation, also called contemplation or mindfulness practice. Part I offers insights from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Indigenous, Islamic, Jewish, and Taoist practices. Part II adds Selected Readings from these traditions with verses about health and happiness, gratitude, transformation, love and compassion, breathing and mindfulness, meditation and wisdom, and dedication. All are challenging voices explaining a plethora of ways to engage in the disciplined practice of meditation and its effects on daily living.

InterSpiritual Meditation is a universal seven-step process drawn from the world’s spiritual traditions. It was developed by Dr. Ed Bastian of the Spiritual Paths Institute through meditation and dialog with contemplative teachers from many spiritual traditions.
InterSpiritual Meditation is a step towards InterSpiritual Wisdom and a foundation for profound peace among peoples of all religions. As an individual contemplative practice, it helps us to cultivate inner peace, wisdom, and compassion that is inclusive of all traditions. As a group process or liturgy, it helps us to create contemplative communities that can include practitioners of many traditions.
The Purposes of InterSpiritual Meditation are:
1. to help each of us to develop and sustain a comprehensive, satisfying, and sustainable process of meditation.
2. to help us co-create contemplative communities for people of diverse faiths and meditative practices. InterSpiritual Meditation is designed to provide a process around which meditators of diverse practices can build community.
3. to model a profound process for people of various religious traditions, and those without a tradition, to join together to create peace and to solve the critical challenges of our times.
This Online Retreat, originally designed to be presented over six weeks, will consist of daily emails covering the seven steps of the InterSpiritual Meditation:
• Motivation
• Gratitude
• Transformation
• Compassion
• Mindfulness
• Meditation
• Dedication
Six recorded audio conference calls will give us opportunities to hear of the experiences of teachers from the Spiritual Paths Institute: Ed Bastian, Kabir and Camille Helminski, Swami Atmarupananda, and Cynthia Bourgeault. A recording of the full guided InterSpiritual Meditation as well as short separate meditations for each of the steps are also included.
Two new books, InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven-Step Process from the Worlds Spiritual Traditions and Meditations for InterSpiritual Wisdom: Practices and Reading Drawn from the World's Spiritual Traditions, are also available for an additional charge.
Sign up for this unique opportunity to learn a universal meditation practice for our times!
(6 CEHs for Chaplains available.)
