Jasmin Lee Cori, M.S. - Author, Mind, Body & Spirit

“Jasmin Cori has created an instruction manual for that which has no instructions, a map for an invisible territory, and a compass to help us find something that we can never lose.  Born from her own in-depth exploration, Cori’s meditative essays invite the reader into a mindful and heart-centered investigation of his or her own essential nature. The book is as light as it is deep and as irreverent as it is honoring. Cori’s playful writing style, married with her integrity and wisdom, makes the book accessible to both beginners on the spiritual path and those who are already familiar with the terrain. This book is filled with the essential qualities that Cori writes of: joy, gentleness, humility, compassion, commitment, and grace.”

“Simple yet profound, this is a delightful guide to inspire both the heart and mind to act as collaborators for your highest human potential.”

-Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., Author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water and Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backward

In addition to the Introduction sample below, a number of blogs are adaptations from here, so hop on over to the spirituality blogs.

The famous poet Rumi said there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. In some translations it is a thousand ways. I like this even better. Of course that was before there were seven billion people on the planet, so I think he would bump up that estimate. This was a poetic way of saying there are countless spiritual paths, countless ways to bow down and honor what is sacred.

This is a broad-strokes approach relevant both to those who follow a particular tradition and those who are finding their own way. It is about deepening the connection to your own essential nature, the radiance within, and fashioning from that an integrated spirituality—one that you live every moment of your life.

As you will see, this path is not separate from psychological healing, but is rather an extension of it….This is a journey I’ve been on my whole life, focusing in my adulthood (personally and professionally) on the healing parts. I’ve also poked around in various spiritual teachings and was on a particular path of psycho-spiritual growth for sixteen years. These days I find more interest in the intersection of paths and where they all lead.  I’m on an inner path whose outlines are constantly shifting. You could say I am “unaffiliated,” yet spiritual awakening is itself a process of affiliating—connecting.

Much of the writing in this book is light-hearted. That is on purpose. Light-heartedness opens us to dimensions we can’t otherwise get to. Spiritual life was never meant to be dreary.  Not a chore but rather a place of celebration.  At times I may seem irreverent to you. Know that in my heart I am not disrespectful. I love the sacred. I’m just having fun and poking at a few sacred cows.
