<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rev. ed. of: Awakening the world: a global dimension to spiritual practice. 2006.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Including the Earth in Our Prayers </i>tells a story of love and prayer, how spiritual practice is not just for ourselves, our own journey, but for life itself. It steps back to reclaim the wisdom of our ancestors, including the "Original Instructions" of Indigenous peoples--how we need to "get along" with all of creation--and relates these teachings to the need of our present time. With our ecosystem in crisis and our culture increasingly divisive, it suggests ways in which the energy and transformative potential of our spiritual nature can be applied to these critical issues, and reconnects us with a spiritual understanding of the living Earth.<br /><br /> The simple premise of this book is that there is a vital need to shift our collective culture from a story of separation and exploitation into a new story of living oneness, and that spiritual practice, and the love and light it generates, have an essential part to play in this shift.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"... this luminous book shows us the way to navigate these tumultuous times with a clear mind, a hopeful heart, and a renewed relationship with holy awe.

Nicol, author of <i>Subtle Activism: The Inner Dimension of Social and Planetary Transformation</i><br><br>"The call of the soul in our time is to become loving partners with our world in manifesting the potentials of blessing and wholeness innately within us and within the Earth. In this wonderful book, Llewellyn eloquently shows us that we each have within us the power to answer this call and embody this partnership.

It is definitely a book whose time has come." --David Spangler, author of <i>Journey into Fire</i><br><br>"The Earth is luminous. From being a dark and degraded "thing," the earth is in reality an angelic being. Our relationship with the Earth, not one of domination but one grounded in harmony, adoration, and contemplation is a powerful indicative of our relationship with the Divine, with the feminine, and ultimately with the entire realm of the Spirit. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee opens up this connection in a lucid and luminous way.
