Abstract
Grace is a disturber of the peace. It can invade our lives in the most alarming ways. To begin to understand a phenomenology of grace is to begin to work with embodied practices that actively invite grace in. Such practices are called ‘grace-hacks’ in this chapter. The goal is to outline how grace invades our lives, how grace also changes our lives and how we can utilise grace-hacks in the quest for more meaningful, richer lives that reach out to this world of forms. Grace is relational and deeply embodied and brings to phenomenology a new dimension that peels back conditioned being and habit revealing what a remarkable, magical deeply connected world we inhabit.
