Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Have you ever noticed that self-described spiritual people are not necessarily all that easy to be with? John Welwood has a term for what often happens--spiritual bypassing. This is when a person reaches for the stars while forgetting about the muck on his shoes. Welwood, author of the popular Love and Awakening and Journey of the Heart has made a profession out of bringing East and West together, integrating the path to enlightenment with the techniques of psychotherapy. In Toward a Psychology of Awakening, Welwood integrates a series of his articles written over a period of thirty years in an attempt to explain the dynamics of psychologies East and West. The hope is that, combined, they can create a wholeness that encompasses the various levels of human experience. Since many of these articles were written for specialist readers, they won't have the verve and inspiration of Welwood's other books, but Welwood fans and enthusiasts of transpersonal psychology will be delighted to have all these ground breaking articles together in one place. So go ahead and reach for the stars--just don't forget that you still have to slog through the mire with the rest of us. --Brian Bruya


Product Description

Can the meditative traditions of Buddhism be integrated with the practice of Western psychology? John Welwood's latest book addresses this question with new comprehensiveness and depth. His psychological approach brings together three major dimensions of human existence: personal, interpersonal, and suprapersonal, in one overall framework of understanding and practice. TOWARDS A PSYCHOLOGY OF AWAKENING addresses basic questions about the relationship between psychology and contemplative spirituality, the practical implications of this convergence for psychological health and healing, and the implications for relationship and community.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Masterpiece, 12 Nov 2009
By Deepak Ravindra (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a seminal piece of work written with such great compassion and understanding. While never losing sight of the core message of non-dual reality, it helps you understand how spirituality can unwittingly grip your intellect and mind and create patterns within them , while in reality it should take you beyond experiencing them. In marrying his deep and genuine insights into the 'psychological' realm of our minds with the spiritual unlearning he has delivered a voice that is very helpful for any sincere spiritual seeker. This is a very valuable work which has been of immense help for me personally.
