Miranda MacphersonThe Way of Grace: The Transforming Power of Ego Relaxation

You will dog-ear and underline and re-read and sigh with delight and resonance and longing and gratitude! Many reviewers suggest getting the audiobook; and it's true that Miranda's guidance through inquiries and meditations are Not To Be Missed. And/but buy the book as well! There is too much goodness and wisdom and guidance for only listening. It is a manual for deepening into yourself, getting out of your own way, and accessing a kind of presence, peace and empowerment that this 70 year old has attempted to find in a teacher over many decades. Miranda MacPherson integrates so many beautiful disciplines into one brilliant and love-filled gift to us all!

This is a spiritually uplifting, but practicallly grounded guide of sorts to allowing for more grace and love in one’s life. Not as an accomplishment to be had, but as an offering, available anytime to us. Learning how to embrace and surrender to grace is incredibly outlined in this exquisite

I have been studying with Miranda for over three years. I have never worked with a teacher so completely compassionate and committed to her students. I have her book in 3 different formats. Paperback which I keep by my bed, audible so that I can listen to and do her meditations and inquiries with her, and kindle because I always have my phone with me.I have shared Mirandas' teachings with many of my friends and family. They too have seen extensive growth along their spiritual path. She creates an environment that extremely inviting and inspirational.We are extremely blessed to have this beautiful person available in our lives.

Recommend the audiobook. It is read by the author who is a majical presenter. She includes several meditations which are much easier to follow when you are not trying to read it.

Like so many of us, I have been fortunate to have sat with many wonderful spiritual teachers over the years. That said, I have never encountered a heart so naked, so devoid of pretense, so loving & compassionate, so utterly and unshakably real as Miranda’s. This the rarest of beings; a radiant jewel whose deeply feminine and liberating teachings on ego relaxation- teachings borne on the wings of Grace- now alight at a time in our evolution of tremendous confusion and despair. And, needless to say, a time of tremendous need. ...That said, one could argue that the condition in which we now find ourselves - both individually and collectively - is not the least bit surprising given the extent to which mankind has genuflected over the countless millenia to ego’s garlanded cudgel. …But we can see through the charade. For those who have grown genuinely weary, who harbor a deep love of the truth, and who have an interest and willingness to lay bare that which has been far too long in the shadows, Miranda shows us another way…So exquisitely tender, so very, very magnificent that way is. ….Drink deeply.

I bought this book because of the excellent reviews, and I was not disappointed. I have been using it as a guide to my spiritual development for several months, following the author's unique and graceful (grace-full) suggestions. I'm delighted that I have deepened my spiritual work through this, although I have read many books on the same topic. The author's gentle guidance and patient teaching draws the reader into realms of satisfying understanding, relying on her own cross-religious experiences, thereby speaking to a wide variety of fellow seekers. As a Christian I found many helpful lessons that would be powerful for Christians as well as those of other faiths, confirming my belief in the Perennial Tradition that unites all faiths. I just bought a copy for my daughter, and I'm sure it will unite us into a common language of faith.

I listen to the audiobook when I walk and then I read and refer to the book to solidify the teachings. Really enjoying this book! Life changing!!

The structure, language, and additional footnotes reminded me how the author gently guides the reader through authentic, knowledgeable, and experiences of grace given to all. Meditations and journaling put the grace into the reader's hands.
