Blessing: The Art and the Practice

On the most basic human level, we all want to be blessed. We want life to bring us good things, to shield us from harm, from fear, from loneliness. A blessing can be anything-a kind word, a prayer or ritual, a gesture, an embrace, a gift.

Blessing is the culmination of David Spangler's remarkable career as a spiritual thinker and teacher: the definitive book on how to channel our natural sense of compassion. With specific exercises and examples to guide and inspire us, this book helps us answer the ancient human calling within us all.

a country where all colors are sacred and alive

This memoir of Non-Ordinary Experience and Collaboration with Nature is an account of Geoffrey Oelsner's continuing education with experiences that defy rational explanation, but point toward a more holistic, interconnected Reality than we normally perceive. It sets forth a vision of our intimate relationship with Nature, and offers scientific evidence as well as personal anecdotes supportive of the thesis that we can influence the natural world positively through attunement, meditation, prayer, intention, loving presence, mindful ritual, celebration, song, dance, and other expressions of joyful creativity.

alchemy of soul

This book teaches the ancient truth of alchemical liberation, by which each of us can overcome the dehumanizing forces all around us and grow into the full-bodied, open-minded, spiritually joyful beings we all have the potential to become.–everything you want to know about living a conscious, heart-centered spiritual life. It is a relief to hear the truth that spiritual development is not easy. It is not complex either, but it requires attention and impeccable self-honesty. This book not only speaks about the art, it is itself a work of the art. By Lee Irwin.

Meditations on christ

The origin of this book came in a visionary encounter for Lee Irwin. Meditations on Christ is a book about the Hermetic Christ, not the Christ of traditional Christianity, not the Christ of the Church, nor the Christ of the conventional faith of Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant teachings. And yet, it is a book about a Christ of all those traditions and faiths; it is about an Inner Christ, the emblematic, alchemical Christ of the transfiguration, a mystical Christ of resurrection and rebirth. The Hermetic Christ is traceable to the very origins of Christianity and precedes those origins by many generations. It is a Christ reborn through a synthesis of multiple traditions, diverse ideas, and a mystical weaving of old patterns with new emergence spiritual realizations. The Hermetic Christ is not an idea but an experience; not an abstraction but an encounter; not simply imagined, but a direct visionary knowing. And this knowing is deep and lasting, it opens the heart to the reality of Love, Spirit, and Mystery. In so doing, it transforms the initiate into a vessel of grace which radiates into the world as healing awareness. By Lee Irwin.

soul medicine

By Judith Boice.

Every now and again, one comes across a book that opens the heart and lets the soul sing. Such a book is a window on the wonder and joy, the beauty and the depths of the world around us. Such a book leads us from one jeweled insight to another, like the Genii giving Aladdin a tour of the treasure cave. Once found, such a book joins a precious few in a privileged place on one’s bookshelf, to be taken down, re-read and savored over and over. Soul Medicine by Dr. Judith Boice is exactly such a book. With exquisite prose, it transcends its pages to become a heart’s companion, delivering exactly what its title promises. Outstanding!
–David Spangler
