Words That Heal is a book of spiritual guidance that is designed to: * Help you to use the creative power of thought to shape your own reality.
* Provide you with daily inspiration that will raise your spirits and enhance the quality of your life.
* Get you in touch with your inner knowing. For many centuries, humanity depended upon institutions and doctrines to lead it to the experience of our God-consciousness. As we approach the dawn of a new age, we are learning to rely upon our own intuition to experience the divinity within.
The heart of Words That Heal consists of a series of 52 passages or “teachings,” each of which contains three parts:
1) A Meditationa short passage that offers thoughts and reflections about a specific subject or life experience. Each meditation will speak to you in its own way, providing support, comfort, insight, and understanding.
2) A series of Affirmationspositive thoughts and ideas that when repeated will help you to transform your negative beliefs and attitudes. For those readers not familiar with affirmations, the text begins with an overview of what affirmations are and how to use them.
3) A Quotation that encapsulates the essence of the teaching.
While it is possible to read the passages straight through as you would a novel, think of the book as a collection of individual stories, each of which tells its own tale and can be approached one at a time.
Refer to Words That Heal as you would any other inspirational work. You can consult with it on a regular basis or periodically, whenever you feel the need to go within and access your “secret place of the most high.”
We are on a journeya journey of change and transformation. Everything you need to know lies within you. May the content of this book lead you to your inner guidance and make your path a smoother and more joyful one.
May they be words that heal.
