Practical Spirituality is part of the Loving a Sacred Life series. It's a collection of essays written on topics that support simple and direct ways of living in our overly complicated world. The categories of this book revolve around the functioning of the brain, the mind (not to be confused with the brain), relationships, and spiritual principals in everyday reality. Expanding your knowledge and experiences leads to opening the mind into greater awareness. The things we discuss here are very practical because, for instance, some of the greatest learning happens in our relationships, which can put your learning path in overdrive.

Most of what we read about in the spiritual domain fills the imagination and excites our fantasy life, but most people have a difficult time making any of it useful. This is practical writing, meaning that you can put into practice immediately everything you read in this book. It will not require excessive classes, time, esoteric information, or travel to exotic lands.

Here, you’ll find information, experiments, and ideas whose purpose it is to expand your awareness and perception, and reframe your challenges into teachings. After all, an open mind is a healthy mind. Truth is both objective and subjective. Here’s to the path that leads to yours.
