Synopsis "Practical Mysticism: Finding Peace Through Surrender"

A CHRISTIAN CLASSIC Practical Mysticism was first published in 1915 at the outbreak of World War I, at a time of "struggle and endurance, practical sacrifices, difficult and long continuous effort" when, she believed, practical mysticism was the activity needed most. In this book Underhill sets out her belief that spiritual life is part of human nature and as such is available to every human being. Following, Underhill defines the meaning of the phrase "Practical Mysticism: " "Therefore it is to a practical mysticism that the practical man is here invited: to a training of his latent faculties, a bracing and brightening of his languid consciousness, an emancipation from the fetters of appearance, a turning of his attention to new levels of the world. Thus he may become aware of the universe that the spiritual artist is always trying to disclose to the race. This amount of mystical perception-this 'ordinary contemplation, ' as the specialist call it, -is possible to all men: without it, they are not wholly alive. It is a natural human activity."

Nació en Wolverhampton, Inglaterra, en 1875. Recibió una esmerada educación privada y asistió al King´s College para mujeres (Londres), donde estudió letras, historia, botánica y filosofía. Crecida en el agnosticismo, en 1907, durante una breve estancia en un convento franciscano, tiene lugar su conversión espiritual. A pesar de estar convencida de que la religión católica era la verdadera, diversas circunstancias impiden su adhesión a la Iglesia católica, y en 1921 optará finalmente por una pertenencia practicante al anglicanismo. En 1911, a raíz de la preparación y publicación de su obra fundamental La mística, conoce al barón Friedrich von Hügel, al que convertirá en su director espiritual; él influirá grandemente en su pensamiento y en su práctica religiosa. Repartió su actividad entre la escritura y la vida de devoción, asumiendo la dirección de retiros e impartiendo charlas y conferencias, dedicaciones que harán de ella unas de las maestras espirituales más importantes de su tiempo.

Autora de tres novelas y dos libros de poemas, destacan sus trabajos sobre mística y espiritualidad, que comprenden ediciones y comentarios de místicos y obras clásicas como Ruysbroeck, Walter Hilton, La Nube del no Saber o La Escala de Perfección. Entre sus numerosos libros cabe mencionar The Mystic Way: A Psychological Study in Christian Origins (1913), The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today (1922), The Mystics of the Church (1925), Worship (1936), La práctica del misticismo (2015) y La mística (2ª edición en 2016), publicados en esta editorial.
