Description

In her beautifully composed and thoughtful book,
author and activist Carol Adams explores the inner life of spiritual
growth with the outer life of practical compassion. She shows how the
reasons for becoming a vegetarian (to promote health, care for other
animals, and express concern for the environment) are deeply wedded to
spiritual practice.

Adams reveals how the practice of creating mindfulness and
disciplining the mind meshes with becoming an activist for
nonviolence, and shows how in our busy and stressed-out world it is
essential to sustain and replenish the soul through spiritual
discipline. Adams discusses breath awareness, meditation, yoga,
journaling, and dreamwork as examples of how to keep true to yourself
and your beliefs, maintain your mental equilibrium, and prepare truly
delicious meals with thoughtfulness and care. This is an essential
book for all those who wish to have their soul nourished and follow
the spiritual path of vegetarianism.
