Download or read book Inner Journey written by Lawrence Patrick and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any inner journey, to true spirituality, is an individual one. It can be found, not only in the teachings of the ancients, but in many cultures as well. This story is a beautiful allegory, showing the pitfalls and dangers mortals have to overcome on their way to eternal life. The author's attitude takes the reader through the initiation of another culture, although the culture is startlingly like our own. His whole aim is to make us see the "rich qualities of life" that play an important role for those seeking inner peace. Mr. Patrick proves how unspoken words express the most advanced philosophy. He shows that we can master the forces that shape personal reality. These powerful forces, which work within each heart and soul, are always present No matter the outer chaos of events in the lives of the main characters, they always look within themselves for inner truth. They live their daily lives with peace, love and caring. Others live by terrestrial laws, living for status, power, or control. This story mirrors earthly life experiences in all of its aspects. The author lets his readers wander into paradise, to a new awakening that can elevate them to new heights and great depths of inner awareness. He clearly expresses that we can attain a world of love, truth and beauty. The wedding ceremony reestablishes every individual's spiritual marriage with God and universe. Mr. Patrick exemplifies special traits in his, proving literature of power and knowledge. It is great reading with a style and spell all its own. "Compellingly readable," says one reader. The author's talent to create suspense and drama arouses curiosity which connects to the readers interest and makes Inner Journey an absorbing novel.

Download or read book The Art of the Inner Journey written by Margaret Carpenter Arnett and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and demonstrates the use of imagery as a catalyst for growth and awareness, and the power of the symbol to lead the way as a healing agent. The drawings, artwork and lives of the people with whom I have worked are living proof of the transformative power of art. Focusing on this aspect, I interviewed thirteen participants (eleven women and two men) to discuss their personal experience of using art as a growing and healing process. Their stories and artwork are the basis of this book. They were asked to bring no more than 10 drawings or pieces of artwork to the interview, which they felt had been particularly significant in one or more of the following ways: 1. Bringing something to awareness that may not have been accessed in other ways. 2. In helping to make a major decision or change in life circumstances. 3. In expressing strong emotions that provided relief. 4. As an affirmation of transformation or change. 5. Breaking through a creative block. 6. Developing of skills. Excerpts from letters of recommendation: “Margaret has assisted me at my workshops on “The symbol as Healing Agent”. I highly recommend Margaret for work in the field of art therapy, counseling and/or teaching and training other counselors, therapists and teachers.” Gregg Furth Ph.D., Jungian Analyst Author: “The Secret World of Drawings” “The power in Margaret’s work comes in part from her ability to help participants access information about themselves crucial to their well-being, which is not generally accessible to the intellect. I have witnessed Margaret’s work with a group of physicians in which she was able to help participants break through the denial and control which is so much a part of physician training. Her work is gentle compassionate and a very important tool in healing.” Christiane Northrup, M.D. Author: “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” If you’ve decided that you’re really ready to move past your preconceived ideas, defenses, and blind spots, then you’re ready for Margaret. Be prepared to enter a world you’ve never before experienced – of colors, shapes, feelings and growth. Never judging, never pushing, always drawing (in more ways than one!), she will gently show you ways to know yourself that cannot be experienced intellectually, only through pre-verbal discovery. Margaret has helped me become a better person and I treasure her. As will you Gregory Sawyer, M.D., PH.D. Director, Organizational Health and Wellness “This is a class for the artist within, and the only skill required is the willingness to attend to what is offered from that inner well.” Jane (participant) Cover Art by: Margaret Carpenter Arnett www.margaretcarpenter.com

Download or read book Pilgrim Road Revised Edition written by Albert Holtz and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the view of St. Benedict of Nursia, the Lenten journey is an inner pilgrimage with Christ into the deepest parts of ourselves, to be marked not so much by external observances, such as fasting and self-denial, as by a deepening of our relationship with God. Benedictine monk Albert Holtz develops that journey theme through meditations written during a fifteen-country pilgrimage while on sabbatical. At the heart of each reflection is the lesson it teaches about our inner spiritual journey. By applying Benedict’s monastic wisdom to the everyday concerns and aspirations of modern Christians, Pilgrim Road helps contemporary spiritual seekers travel along and experience the journey of Lent in the most positive, meaningful, and fruitful manner.
