The Power of Meditation: Chanting as a Spiritual Practice
"Repeating an affirmation is leading the mind to that state of consciousness where it accepts that which it wishes to believe." Dr. Ernest Holmes
Adding music and rhythm to inspiring words and repeating them for a fixed number of recitations is a powerful practice. Dr. Edward (author of The Power of Meditation) shows us how we can establish a practice of chanting.

Practice The Presence Journal
Journaling offers a powerful way to record your spiritual growth. Writing in a journal calls on you to be more conscious of the insights that occur daily in your life. It gives you an opportunity to examine your beliefs and be mindful of your choices.
Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
