"Stephanie speaks, writes, and lives from the heart. To read this elegant writing is to journey with her through your own wilds and find moments of stillness. She is a guide who takes your hand and walks with you instead of pointing and talking about. Her authenticity is essential in these turbulent times and any time we want the courage to listen to our heart's whispers. Taking this journey, we can gain the courage to love, listen, and be fully alive. When we learn to grasp gently the whole, to not disturb it, it reveals itself to us and us to ourselves. The infinite becomes intimate and tangible." --Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Fish Interfaith Center at Chapman University "Dr.

Stephanie Rutt offers us simple practices for tuning into our original nature, furthering peace and ease in daily life. The spirituality she invokes is simply a part of who we already are, waiting to be brought forth. She guides us to listen deeply, and open to inner guidance though practice. Thus, we begin to tap into the awakened heart that interconnects all life. One could say she is an artist at demystifying mysticism, integrating profound inner realization with practical everyday life." --Murshida Halima Sussman, Sama Center, Sufi Ruhaniat International.
