Aus dem Klappentext

"Today's women don't need more time management skills to help them pack even more into their already over-packed schedules. They need tools to help them put on the brakes, gather themselves, and remember what really matters." ?Abby Seixas

For over two decades, Abby Seixas has taught women how to slow down and reclaim their lives from the tyranny of their to-do lists. Based on the experiences of women whose lives have been transformed by her workshops, this highly anticipated first book presents her comprehensive program to nurture contact with the Deep River within, the soul-nourishing dimension in each of us that flows beneath the busyness of daily life. With gentle encouragement, practical guidance, and compelling stories of struggle and success, Finding the Deep River Within details the three preliminary doorways and six core practices for inviting the rich resources of our deeper nature into everyday life.

Skillfully weaving together time-honored spiritual wisdom and contemporary psychological principles, Seixas gives her readers a highly accessible program for bringing sanity and soul back into daily life.

Whether you read this book and do the guided exercises by yourself, with a friend, or in a women's circle or book group, Finding the Deep River Within will provide both the inspiration and the needed skills for balanced living in a hurried world.
