Luminous Heart of the Earth: A Survival Guide for Original Heart - Paperback

by Robert And Rachel Olds (Author)

Coming to direct experience of original heart, original nature, outside words and doctrine is crucial for the spiritual path. The luminous awareness abiding naturally in your heart finds clear reflection within the natural world. To go outside concepts and entanglements of the mind that cloud the heart's perception, the most powerful avenue is simply to go outside into the embrace of the natural world. This book is a trail guide for all those who feel an instinctive resonance between spiritual practice and nature, for those who are seeking direct experience of spiritual awakening rather than further ritual or elaboration, and for those who seek a way to deepen their connection with their hearts and the heart of all life.

Author Biography

Artists Robert and Rachel Olds spent nine years in spiritual retreat together in the mountains of northern California integrating Earth living and the practices of the heart essence of Dzogchen. They came to their retreat after years of spiritual inquiry through their artwork and years of letting go and simplifying their lives to connect more fully with the natural world. They share the unique perspective that their completion of the path of Togal brings to encourage recognition that this Earth, this vision we call life, is a sacred offering.
