Wheel Of Initiation: Practices for Releasing Your Inner Light

This book guides personal spiritual initiation through habitual pattern transformation, apathy, and resistance. Based on Native American, Vedic, and mandalas, it enables readers from any tradition to initiate through thought transformation, narrative medicine, meditation, rituals, and journaling. It facilitates breaking through personal and societal illusions that perpetuate resistance and apathy. An initiated life comprises intentions, spiritual principles, meditation, contemplation, ritual, and risk-taking. However, modern society lacks initiation practices that break through negative habits and illusions, trapping us in past conditions and attachments. We often identify too strongly with the status quo, which must be challenged for stagnation, happiness, and authenticity.
