Review:

Dancing with your shadow is written by an experienced teacher of meditation , who not onlty describes the practice of the 'art of arts', giving due weight to stilling the mind and dealing with such problems as distractions and restlessness, but looks at it from the point of view of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. This wide-ranging and comprehensive book will be of great interest to all meditators, but especially to those following Christian meditation rediscovered by John Main. And the stories and quotations from various traditions with which the author illustrates her points are a joy in themselves. Shirely du Boulay Author of 'The Cave of the Heart' --Back page of book

In these pages...anyone will find a guide, a friend, a teacher to walk - and dance - with. Laurence Freeman OSB Spiritual Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation --Back Cover
