Author Roger Walsh says: “The word religion has many meanings; in particular it implies a concern with the sacred and supreme values of life.  The term spirituality, on the other hand, refers to direct experience of the sacred.  Spiritual practices are those that help us experience the sacred – that which is most central and essential to our lives – ourselves.”

 

Essential Spirituality addresses how we can create that direct experience, through practice. It contains the seven perennial practices common to all authentic religions and provides practical exercises for applying them in all aspects of life.
