Product Description
Imagine achieving physical fitness and spiritual growth simultaneously. Roger Joslin's step-by-step program is an en-gaging exploration of the truth that spiritual well-being can just as easily be achieved while running along the trails of a favorite park as it can within the more traditional settings of neigh-bor-hood churches, synagogues, or mosques. Through aware-ness, chants, and visualization, and through attention to the most evident aspects of the present moment-the weather, pain, or breathing-the simple run can become the basis for a profound spiritual practice. In Running the Spiritual Path, Joslin combines insights gathered from thirty years of running with a per-sonal spirit-ual journey that is guiding him to the priesthood. While drawing from and exhibiting an abiding respect for the traditions and sacred practices of the world's great religions, Joslin describes a heretofore unexplored method of sacred running, bringing meditation and a prayerful communion to the running trail.
