The Art of Letting Go: A Pathway to Inner Freedom [Paperback]

Vidya Frazier (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2002

With refreshing insight, Vidya Frazier demystifies enlightenment for us. Speaking as a human being, not as a guru, she helps us discover a pathway to spiritual freedom that is simple and practical, yet powerfully profound. With gentle encouragement and compassion, she guides us in letting go of our mistaken identity with our ego and consistently points to our true Self that is already free, here and now, living in peace and harmony with all that is.

Review

Exploding the common myth that enlightenment always happens suddenly and to only a select (and divinely chosen) few ... -- Anthea Francine, M.A., C.P.P.C., contributing author of Our Turn, Our Time, Women Truly Coming of Age

Vidya Frazier's compelling description of her own journey of awakening has confirmed and validated my own. -- Margit Jacob, founder and director of the Napa School of Yoga

About the Author

In 1993, Vidya Frazier had an extraordinary experience in which she awoke to her true nature and realized spiritual freedom. Two years later, she felt called to India to visit the spiritual master, Papaji, who validated her experience and encouraged herto use it to assist others. Upon returning to the U.S., she began developing the counseling and teaching practice she'd had for 20 years into what she calls "Consciousness Counseling," incorporating the teachings of the Direct Path of awakening as a foundation for her work. She soon began seeing the emergence of a specific pathway to freedom she was teaching, based on the simple teaching of letting go, and has since been offering classes and workshops on this subject. She currently lives in Middletown, California.

Now, I'm about the most skeptical person when it comes to "self help" books, but this one was recommended by my holistic therapist friend. You have to get into about page 70 before you get your "ah-ha" moment. But this book definitely had an effect on my life and I've since passed it on to at least 5 others who said the same thing.

The Art of Letting Go: A Pathway to Inner Freedom
By Vidya Frazier (Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2002)

In The Art of Letting Go, Vidya Frazier brings enlightenment down from the lofty, mysterious heights where only a few select people might ever go to the ordinary, everyday realms where most of us live. Her warm and friendly style is encouraging and validating, and the exercises and meditations she offers are invaluable. They help us to realize that our awakened self--far from being something we might possibly discover in the distant future--is already very much alive within us and surprisingly easy to reach. At long last, we have a feminine approach to enlightenment--soft, heartful, and embracing of human frailty--yet profoundly ringing of truth.Anthea Francine, M.A., C.P.P.C. Contributing author to Our Turn, Our Time, Women Truly Coming of Age

5.0 out of 5 stars Inner freedom made accessible to everyone, June 21, 2010

By 

Suchi Kumar, Spiritual Empowerment Coach (Eugene, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art of Letting Go: A Pathway to Inner Freedom (Paperback)

I have been on a spiritual path and into nonduality for many years. I found the exercises in this book extremely valuable. I experienced what I refer to as an "ego shift" where no one existed here but consciousness. The bliss of the inner freedom is worth any price, and certainly the price of this book. I also have used these exercises and others with my clients and they also experience inner shifts and more freedom. This is a simple path to spiritual growth and freedom.
