The subtitle of this book is: Stories to illuminate the soul
As Far As the Heart Can See, is a collection of over 40 spiritual stories that will stimulate mindful reflection. Journal questions, table questions for sharing, and meditation points accompany each tale, ensuring listeners get the most out of the parables, dreams, and special moments of inspiration that Nepo shares in this remarkable work.
It is an audiobook that lasts almost five hours. The book was narrated by the author himself and he has this soothing voice that draws listeners in.
I love the format of the book.
Some stories are mind-stimulating and thought-provoking. The journal questions made me want to sit down and write something in my journal. The table questions are like Toastmasters Table Topics. Some meditation points seem really worth practicing.
Here are some examples from the book that I find fascinating:
Journal Questions: If you were to describe yourself as an instrument, what would it be? Now imagine a myth of origin: how were you made and what has your life as an instrument been to this point in time?
Table Questions: To be asked over dinner or coffee with friends and loved ones. Try listening to everyone's response before discussing.
Describe a time when fear made you hold on when you needed to let go
What does it mean to consider that where we stumble and try again in our braille?
A Meditation:
Close your eyes and as you breathe, consider how connected in and out are
Slowly stand and sit several times and consider how connected up and down are...
Highly recommended.
