Personal Review: Legacy of the Heart: The Spiritual Advantage
of a Painful Childhood by Wayne Muller
Those most in need of practice in "being present" are those who're mired
in a painful past, in particular, warriors and abused children. Both have
developed habitual vigilance and a "lens" that filters out everything but
what is, or may be, essential to their survival in a moment of clear and
present danger. Sadly, well after the danger's past and they've grown up or

mustered out of the time or place in which they cultivated habitual
vigilance, they are unable to live freely in the present. They continue to
scan, to dig foxholes, and to hit the dirt at the slightest indication of
whatever used to be an actual danger. Muller speaks practically and
compassionately to these perceptual prisoners of war and teaches them
how to rewire their brains through the healing practices of Buddhism: not
viewing change as the "enemy" but as a neutral fact of life; learning
detachment in order to unbind one's self from the past; seeing here, now.
This is the highly effective approach used in the Yoga Warriors program. It
is the Way of Western psychotherapy. It is the Way that Jesus urged all to
follow. Muller's Legacy of the Heart has a prized place on my bookshelf,
not because I had a painful childhood (mine was far from it), but because,
writing in cyberspace as Rapierpen and as Bob the Bard, I have a passion
to understand warriors and wounded children and to do what I can to help
survivors find peace and healing.
