Publisher's Summary

The essential meditation guide for the twenty-first century: renowned mindfulness teacher Henry Shukman replaces the concept of original sin with original love, teaching us to tap into the love that shapes our world and can transform who we are.

An increasing number of people today feel disconnected, disengaged, and lonely. Many of us are seeking solace, beginning with ourselves. Original Love is the secular spiritual handbook we need to ease our troubles and find the highest possible happiness.

Henry Shukman, spiritual director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, provides a way forward based on four paths—Mindfulness, Support, Absorption, and Awakening—that promote growth and healing through meditation for practitioners of any level. And it works! Shukman includes inspiring stories from the students of his Original Love program that reveal how it has transformed their lives.

Urgently needed, Original Love helps us create peace for ourselves and our times by

  • reducing stress, anxiety, and depression;
  • relaxing the mind and body;
  • easing feelings of worry, regret, anger, and irritation;
  • and improving decision-making and executive functioning.

Finding a sense of love is a critical purpose of meditation. Finding your way back to the loving peace that lives at the center of things is Original Love.

A deep and profound book

This book is a must listen for those who are interested in mindfulness and the mystery of awakening. The whole thing sounds like one long guided meditation. Disguised as a manual for awakening this is a truly beautiful, mind expanding piece of art that I think is best enjoyed by listening to the author. Enjoy!
