The Spirited Life
I'm so excited to announce that The Spirited Life is finally PUBLISHED! Yay!
It's a Guidebook to Meditate, Dance and Connect your way to a Happier, Healthier Life
Each chapter takes one stretch of my life, from a Catholic childhood to Burning Man, and shares what it taught me. The stories are honest and sometimes funny. The tools are simple enough to use on a Tuesday. You don't need any particular faith. The book uses "Spirit" for whatever you call the bigger thing, and leaves the rest to you.
Every chapter ends with three doors in. Actions to use right now. Pick one, or walk through all three.
- Meditate. Reflection, breath and time in nature. Short practices that help you meet your highest self.
- Dance. Move, find your rhythm, and let your body say what your mind hasn't yet. No rules, no audience.
- Community Connection. Service, authentic conversations and showing up for other people, gently and at your own pace.
About Rev. Anne
Hi! I'm Rev. Anne Marie Appleton, a minister of metaphysics for almost 20 years. My life has been colourful and challenging, and I wrote this book so you can skip the parts that didn't work. I'm not here to teach down to anyone. I'm a fellow traveller who tried a lot of things, kept what helped, and wrote it down.
My philosophy is that trying to be our Higher Self most of the time makes us happier and healthier. And community does too, so let's try to be our Higher Selves together, shall we?
"Cause you can never be over meditated, right?!"
