In this pioneering book Rupert Sheldrake shows how science helps
validate seven practices on which all religions are built, and
which are part of our common human heritage: * Meditation *
Gratitude * Connecting with nature * Relating to plants * Rituals *
Singing and chanting * Pilgrimage and holy places. The effects of
spiritual practices are now being investigated scientifically as
never before, and many studies have shown that religious and
spiritual practices generally make people happier and healthier.
Rupert Sheldrake summarizes the latest scientific research on what
happens when we take part in these practices, and suggests ways
that readers can explore these fields for themselves. For those who
are religious, Science and Spiritual Practices will illuminate the
evolutionary origins of their own traditions and give a new
appreciation of their power. For the non-religious, this book will
show how the core practices of spirituality are accessible to all,
even if they do not subscribe to a religious belief system. This is
a book for anyone who suspects that in the drive towards radical
secularism, something valuable has been left behind. Rupert
Sheldrake believes that by opening ourselves to the spiritual
dimension we may find the strength to live more wholesome and
fulfilling lives.
