Practicing Conscious Living and Dying

41cfdeyhccl__sl500_bo2204203200_pisI came across an excellent book recently called 'Practicing Conscious Living and Dying' which I thought some of our readers might find inspirational. Written by Annamaria Hemingway and published in January 2008, this collection of powerful and thought-provoking stories illustrates how each of the individuals concerned has come to understand death... They teach us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of existence.

In the author's own words: "It is my sincerest wish that all those who read this book will find it inspirational and spiritually uplifting, that it will provide hope and strength to the dying and the bereaved, and offer compelling evidence for the possible continuum of consciousness after the death of our physical body."

Personally, I found it wonderful, beautiful, enormously interesting and endlessly fascinating... high praise indeed, but it really did fill me with hope and inspiration. Click here for more details.
