John Bradshaw (author)

“Spirituality embraces the numinous (the holy). Spirituality has to do with an inner life of values and meaning. It also has to do with our finitude–our awe and reverence for the mysteries of life.

It pushed us to transcend ourselves and become grounded in the ultimate source of reality.” (quote taken from Healing the Shame that Binds You). click here to read the full post
