Leap Before You Look

Perhaps you've caught a glimpse of who you are beyond thought - your spiritual nature - but weren't sure how to live it as a gift and blessing for all. What's the solution? Practice. Leap Before You Look is a collection of simple exercises to help you on your way. Each takes just a few minutes to shift you "out of your mind" and into the infinite possibilities of the present moment. What's more, the 72 "shortcuts" contained herein will allow you to deepen and embody this realization in your daily life, from one minute to the next, wherever you may be. So open to any chapter, and accept Arjuna Ardagh's invitation to Leap Before You Look into "the possibility of spiritual practice not as a means to a goal, but as an endlessly unfolding exploration of a life of beauty, fully worth living..."...ARJUNA ARDAGH IS THE FOUNDER of the Living Essence Foundation in Nevada City, California, a nonprofit church dedicated to the awakening of consciousness within the context of ordinary life.
