Quaker Quicks - Inner Healing, Inner Peace
Ebook
What do Quakers have to offer when there is pain and distress in body, mind and spirit? Can their beliefs and worship help in the processes of healing? In this book, Diana and John Lampen try to answer these questions, drawing on their experiences of caring for troubled people and working in situations of conflict, as well as their long membership of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The book contains practices which readers can use for themselves.
Richly dense and deeply nourishing, Inner Healing, Inner Peace speaks to mind, body and spirit. Through personal narratives that illuminate the reality that major experiences of life have a mystery around them, the Lampens also share wonderfully accessible practices for navigating these experiences and staying grounded. In our increasingly complex and troubled world, we are invited by the Lampens to tenderly open our hearts to the Spirit as we encounter it in others and in ourselves. This Quaker perspective offers us new ways of being present through acts of healing, reconciliation, forgiveness, joy and in the stillness beyond words. -- Deborah Shaw, former Assistant Director of Friends Center, Guilford College, North Carolina
