Bare-Bones Meditation: Waking Up from the Story of My Life

Born with only one hand, Joan Tollifson grows up feeling different, finds identity as a bisexual lesbian and a disability rights activist, but also sinks into drug addiction and alcoholism. She embraces Zen Buddhism and then a very bare-bones spirituality that has no form. Bare-Bones Meditation reveals the inner process of the mind in a new way, and Tollifson’s account is beautifully written–intense and from the heart.

From the Trade Paperback edition.Born with only one hand, J

    EDUCATION IN HONEST INTROSPECTION BY EXAMPLE, 22. Mai 2000
    Rezension bezieht sich auf: Bare-Bones Meditation: Waking Up from the Story of My Life: Waking up from the Story of My Life / Joan Tollifson. (Taschenbuch)

    Joan’s writing is so sincere and honest that it engages our identity beyond the outer trappings of who we are. I am not gay or handicapped and have lived a rather straight and narrow life, but was completely identified with Joan on her journey. I have been practicing meditation for twenty years, and have read many books on the subject. This is one of the most engaging.

    I have read this book several times and it still moves me profoundly. Joan describes wonderfully the search for a more meaningful life. The book is in part an engaging story, in part a portrait of a period and, more importantly, an insightful meditation that I highly recommend to anyone with an interest in the search of the real self.

    A book of revelation., 5. Dezember 1998
    Rezension bezieht sich auf: Bare-Bones Meditation: Waking Up from the Story of My Life: Waking up from the Story of My Life / Joan Tollifson. (Taschenbuch)

    I’ve read the book three times. Each time feeling as if I have gone a little deeper into my own life. Joan peels back the layers until there is just This and just Now. I highly recommend it.
