Dare to Feel: The Transformational Path of the Heart

Dare to Feel is a guide to the transformational path of the heart, a spiritual practice for connecting deeply with yourself, others, and the world by accessing the power of your emotions, sensations, and intuition. Alexandra Roxo explores how most people were taught to hide their feelings and play it safe, rather than embrace deep feeling as a path to expansion and connection. The book argues that avoiding emotions causes us to shrink away from life, love, and the passion possible in being human. Roxo shares personal stories and experiences of bold living and openhearted loving, including adventures in Nepal, encounters with lovers, and moments of vulnerability. The book includes poems, rituals, and contemplations designed to help readers embrace passionate, embodied living as a spiritual path. It addresses the courage required to shed protective layers that keep us small and numb, and offers guidance on learning to trust yourself and live boldly for art, love, and your soul.
