Arrows of Awareness: A mindfulness Guide to Walking the Camino and other pilgrimages by Amanda de Klerk
“This is not a manual about how to have a spiritual experience or find answers to life’s burning questions. See it as a daily invitation to walk mindfully, set intentions, become fully aware of what is happening to you in the moment, and elicit compassion for all things. See it as a reminder to practise generosity, deep acceptance and gratitude throughout the journey. The inner journey has many pathways and, if followed mindfully, can lead to gratitude, compassion and deeper awareness.”
