10 Spiritual lessons

BOOK REVIEWS

10 Spiritual lessons You can learn from your cat comprises short stories, quotations and exercises which highlight what the cat can teach us about having a happy, stress-free life.

This charming little book, given to me recently to read, would be immensely enjoyed by cat lovers, but has wisdom to offer to cat lover and non-cat lover alike. Anyone who has ever observed a cat would be able to relate to the behaviours of the cat that author describes. The author provides thoughtful and thought-provoking suggestions on how we may draw inspiration and instruction from the way our cat friends live.

The spiritual lessons that the author compares with the behaviours of the cat include:

·                     keeping your eyes open for new opportunities.

·                     taking pleasure in the small things.

·                     living a life filled with joy.

·                     getting a good night's sleep.

·                     learning to relax as an antidote to stress.

·                     having time for play in a busy life.

·                     giving love and attention on the people closest to you.

If you want to concentrate on the things that really matter in life, and explore how to reach higher goals by reaching inside ourselves, this wonderful little book is a must on your bedside table.  It is not only well worth reading, but has the potential to be used as a personal or parish group spiritual growth programme over 10 weeks.
