The and Principle: Celebrating Self-Acceptance - Paperback

FINALLY, the full embrace you've been looking for... This principle is about the freedom, power, and love that come from accepting all aspects of yourself. Acknowledging all feelings, selves, and dimensions of your being is The "And" Principle. AT LAST, a spirituality that celebrates your humanity... This principle deals with being attuned to spiritual energy and the transcendent, while also being honest in regards to the real challenges of being alive. It is a book about living in the light and the darkness, integrating the polarities and paradoxes of existence. The "And" Principle, which is illustrated, is an artistic expression and contains reflections, poems, and questions on living an authentic, integrated life. The reflections are engaging, and the poems are inspiring and easy to understand. A wonderful contribution of this book is the retrieval of the lost art of curiosity through the asking of powerful questions. Its chapters include: 1) Heaven and Earth; 2) Expansion and Contraction: Honoring Emotional Integrity; 3) Love and Loss; 4) Expression and Containment; 5) Strength and Vulnerability; 6) Freedom and Discipline: Parenting from The "And" Principle; 7) Movement and Stillness; 8) The Wind and the Reed: Celebrating the Creative Process; and 9) Oneness and Separateness.
