Spirituality Through a Highly Sensitive Lens: An Objective Look at Meditation Methods and Enlightenment

Summary

Dr. Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D., world-renowned author of the groundbreaking, internationally bestselling classic The Highly Sensitive Person, gives readers everything they need to find their path toward peace, equanimity, and simply feeling okay—no matter what’s happening in the world around them or how overwhelming it may be.

The seeker culture of the 1960s was the catalyst for what Dr. Aron sees as a quiet spiritual revolution, like a distant supernova, visible only now. Exploring new spiritual paths, more and more people were able to shift into a state of profound inner peace, clearer focus, and nearly unshakeable calm, even amid challenging times. Those paths to enlightenment worked for them. So, how do the rest of us get there?

In her most personal book yet, Dr. Aron offers the first-ever objective overview of meditation methods and paths to enlightenment. Sharing practical explanations of spiritual practices as well as her own experiences from 55 years of meditation practice, she helps readers better understand the form of spirituality that suits them best. She also delves into the recent brain research regarding the state of transformation that can occur.

Highly sensitive people, with their natural depth of thinking and feeling, as well as their greater need for inner peace, are instinctively drawn to such exploration, but this is a book for everyone. With Dr. Aron’s signature empathy and profound caring, as well as her attention to science, this one-of-a-kind guide will help all of us embark on our own spiritual journey.

“Objective, thorough, and refreshingly non-dogmatic, empowering readers with choices rather than prescriptions. Dr. Aron opens a genuine sanctuary for all who are curious about the landscape of spirituality in our times.”—Rick Archer, creator and host of the spiritual interview show Buddha at the Gas Pump
