Perfect for you if...

  • You're a writer who feels stuck in surface-level work and suspects there's something deeper you're not reaching.
  • You meditate or practise mindfulness and want to bring that awareness directly into your creative work.
  • You're drawn to writing as a spiritual practice, not just a technical skill to master.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a purely craft-focused guide to grammar, structure, and plot mechanics.
  • You're sceptical of meditation or spiritual language in creative work.
  • You prefer short, punchy writing tips over reflective, year-long explorations.

About this book

Writing as a Path to Awakening explores how to access the source of creativity that lies beyond the thinking mind. Albert Flynn DeSilver, a poet, writer, and teacher, shows how meditation can deepen your writing so that your words convey layers of insight that resonate with readers. Structured as a year-long exploration with monthly and seasonal focuses, the book covers: approaching writing and reading with greater presence; using curiosity and spontaneity in regular practice; meditating with poetry to embody language; connecting to the source of creation; applying meditative approaches to storytelling; and the spiritual dimensions of editing and rewriting. DeSilver presents writing and meditation as complementary practices that nourish, trigger, inform, and inspire each other. Through storytelling and practical exercises, the book guides you through a yearlong journey designed to enhance your writing through meditation while using the creative process to support your spiritual development.
