Description:
If you had only one year left to live, what would you do? When Stephen Levine posed this question to himself, it led to a profound, year-long experiment in conscious living that is fully revealed in A Year to Live. In his work with the dying, Levine observed the radical life changes people can make in the face of death. He challenged himself to live an entire year as if it were his last, and to investigate how death is cut from the same fabric as life, and why it is never to be feared. A Year to Live shows that every minute of life is not only part of a promise made at birth, but the spiritual adventure of a lifetime. With suggestions for practices and meditations.
Biography:
Stephen Levine is a poet and teacher of guided meditation healing techniques. He and his wife and spiritual partner, Ondrea, have counseled the dying and their loved ones for more than 30 years. Stephen Levine's bestselling books Healing into Life and Death; A Gradual Awakening; and A Year to Live are considered classics in the field of conscious living and dying. He is also the coauthor, with Ondrea, of the acclaimed To Love and Be Loved; and Who Dies?
The Levine's work is said to stretch from the most painful experiences of the human spectrum to the furthest point on the human horizon, from hell to heaven, from pain to ease, from our ongoing sense of loss to the legacy of our unending interconnectedness. Their experiential Conscious Living / Conscious Dying workshops are a meditative investigation of what it means to be fully alive, cultivating the qualitities which heal the mind and heart, exploring the nature of what it is that dies.
