Returning: exhortations, advice and encouragement from the heart of direct realization practice

Sarasvati composed Returning as a gift for her students while she was on a personal meditation retreat. It offers twenty-four concentrated bursts of provocation, encouragement and inspiration for spiritual seekers. Returning is an addition to the ancient tradition of teachers offering intimate heart advice directly from their own experience. With refreshing clarity, humor and sympathy, Sarasvati speaks from the heart to all those who long for awakening-and who also sometimes feel stuck or lost along the way.
