Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness, best-selling author Joe Paprocki provides a prescription for spiritual health based on the rich wisdom of Catholic Tradition. Through his nondogmatic, downright inviting style of writing, Paprocki makes this book eminently accessible to non-Catholics and "seekers" as well. Recognizing that the spiritual immune system is weakened almost daily by toxic patterns and attitudes that negatively impact our ability to live in a harmonious relationship with God and others, Paprocki offers seven enduring and reliable strategies for achieving spiritual wellness. After identifying practical ways to integrate each of these strategies into daily living, he describes seven persistent dangers to our spiritual well-being and how these dangers manifest themselves in our lives. At its core, 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness helps us see the Christian faith not as a collection of rules and doctrine, but as a spiritual path--a path whose guideposts for spiritual wellness are sure to lead us to a more meaningful life and to a much richer experience of our faith.

Nelson is right, it really is the small things, done consistently over time, that make a huge impact in every area of life. In the past two years I've lost over eighty-five pounds and kept it off.

Unblocking the Chakras Understanding the reason why unblocking chakras is necessary starts with knowing why blockages occur in the first place. Any block in one of the chakras can result in a physical problem linked to that area. It is especially connected to some form of psychological or personal challenges. For instance, when the sacral chakra is blocked, it tends to manifest as digestive discomfort or changes in appetite. And since the sacral chakra is directly related to the core creativity and identity of a person, the most common reasons for blockages aren’t far-fetched. Common examples include little to no time spent on self-development, and unsatisfying careers. An understanding of the nature and importance of every chakra will help them identify and locate disruptions as they occur. On the flip side, there is a possibility of working out a way to restore balance to the chakras. In the same vein, these blockages can be removed regardless of their place of occurrence. From meditating to chakra yoga to lifestyle changes all geared towards unblocking the chakras, one can do many things to clear problems in the chakra system. ... ... ... Many thanks for purchasing this book. I believe the content has opened your eyes to the reality of mental and spiritual health, helping you find balance and live a whole and satisfying life. Warmest regards, Amelie Novak

Download or read book Roll Call written by Bobby Kipper and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two seasoned law enforcement professionals, Bobby Kipper and Joe St. John, Roll Call is a Christian Spiritual Guide for other law enforcement professionals. Police work is a stressful and often dangerous job that puts a burden on the individual that most people will never understand. It also forces the police officer to see the world in a very real light and that light is not always positive. Kipper and St. John understand the challenges to staying spiritual in an often-harsh world. It is easy to lose focus on a loving and caring God in the midst of turmoil. It is easy to lose hope when a person sees so much hopelessness. Roll Call is as an easy-to-carry book that an officer can read in these troubling times. During a break from all the chaos, the officer can read a quick chapter and refocus on a loving God and the peace of Jesus. Roll Call is a “no-nonsense” book that places the Christian Faith in the forefront of the officers’ lives. In these drastic times of today and with the problems facing law enforcement, there is no better time for the faith community to have a police “Roll Call.”
