Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water

Brian Luke Seaward's "Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water" is must reading for anyone interested in Mind/Body/Spirit teachings. It is also the most complete book on this vast subject area that I have read, along with being user-friendly, touched with compassion and wisdom throughout, and something that motivates one to take the necessary steps to living in balance with all that we are a part of. Having taken Luke's "Holistic Stress Management Instructor Certification Workshop," I would encourage readers of this book to check out his website - www.brianlukeseaward.net - to review the many courses, certifications and speaking engagements he gives throughout the year. Whether you are someone looking to teach in this area or just want to tap into your highest good, it is worth a look. This is a book that I go back to time and time again. A great read on all levels written by a wise and compassionate man.

A gift for the reader

I heard Dr. Seaward speak at his book signing in Boulder, Colorado and was very impressed. He is an expert in his field but spoke in plain English and told everyday stories to back up his work. Then I read "Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water," and knew Dr. Seaward had created a masterpiece imparting wisdom and knowledge everyone should read. Luke Seaward has created a gift for his readers. Stand is beyond well done. The writing style is conversational, friendly, informative and a pleasure to read. There is so much wisdom packed into the 300 or so pages that it will take several readings as time goes by to fully appreciate it. And I observed proof of that when several people in the line in front of me brought their First Editions of the book to be re-signed. Pages were dog-eared, margins filled with notes, and passages highlighted. Bill Ellis

Amazing Book

This book is one of the most amazing books I have ever read in my life. I have personally met Brian Luke and heard him speak. If you ever get the chance to do either you will have been very fortunate to meet such a special person. Brian Luke's Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water will not fall from your hands if you pick it up. I read the first edition last summer and couldn't wait until the 10th Anniversay edition to come out. What a great revision to such a wonderful book. This is a book I will revisit throughout my time here on this earth because it says all the things I've thought or wondered about and serves as an inspiration to how I live my life.

Finally, Someone got it right!

For someone who is spiritual, but not religious in the sense that there is ONLY one way, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going through one (or many,as the case may be) life crises. This book is written in a simple manner on a very profound topic that meets you where you are and brings you up a few levels. Balance is the key to life, and I now have the key!

Simply the best

Luke Seaward provides inspiration, beauty and simplicity exemplifying this book's title. The book truly stands and flows, weaving the ancient and the current, the philosophical and the practical, the momentous and the mundane into a celebration of how to be your best "spirit on a human path." I have a copy for my office and a copy for my nightstand!
