This book lists and explains four things which very often prevent us from living a spiritual life, which translated means living a joyful, meaningful life—which is actually fun! The author uses the simple term “barrier” to refer to each of these impediments in your spiritual journey. Explained in detail are the ways in which these barriers hold you back, and how important it is to transcend them.

Spiritual barriers are like roadblocks. Some, you may be able to detour around. Others are like hurdles, and as you’re sprinting along, you’ll have to jump quite high to get over each of them without falling. Those are good metaphors because each of these barriers might present a different kind of spiritual challenge. It’s all about the inner work.

Perhaps you’ve already had a spiritual awakening or you may be total beginner and just curious about spirituality. You may be an experienced meditator or even a spiritual teacher. This book is for you because we are all pilgrims on what the author calls The Pathless Path.
