Wildflower Seeds: the Beauties of a Reflective Life shows us why and how to adopt a 20 minute a day practice of reflecting on the truly important things in life, and why developing your inner life is a political act. We need to analyze why life so often seems to work against us, and listen for the deep wisdom within that brings peace and guidance. It offers inspiration for nearly 100 practices for those times when we steal ourselves away from the overculture's demands in order to claim both inner and outer liberation. The practices are of two kinds: ones that have us thinking and analyzing our lives and ones that have us quiet ourselves to listen within. They are described in the five different categories of Word, Image, Dream & Story, Silence, and Embodiment. These practices can be of help whether you consider yourself a traditionally religious person, a spiritual person, or a person who follows no particular path.
