The Gentle Art of Blessing
A Simple Practice That Will Transform You and Your World
by Pierre Pradervand
Live a Blessed Life
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/158270242X/realityshifts

"The Gentle Art of Blessing" is an exceptionally uplifting and inspirational book, written by a man who shares his personal discovery of the power of blessing everyone... friends, family, strangers and enemies alike. Author Pierre Pradervand asserts that the most important component of blessing is sincerely wishing well for others, from one's heart... which means that blessings can take many forms, including: hugs, tone of voice, a kind word, a friendly glance. The concept here is simple; by constantly living in a blessed state of mind, you will be truly blessed. Blessing is not so much an action as it is a way to hold oneself in relation to All That Is, and thanks to the particularly transcendent nature of maintaining such a blessed state of consciousness, it is possible to attain great happiness and an ability to rise above problems and conflict. Pradervand encourages us to not just take his word for it, but to go ahead and bless everyone and everything around us, as he assures us that blessings unleash amazing benefits throughout our entire lives. But what about those times when things go wrong, or someone treats us unfairly or cruelly? Blessing need not be something we do only at times when we are already feeling happy and at peace in the world. On one pivotal occasion, Pradervand describes being treated unfairly by his employers... and rather than taking a stance of opposition or victimhood, he chose the path of blessing those who had malicious intent toward his continued employment. Pradervand describes another especially shocking incident in his life when he was punched in the face unexpectedly by a stranger, and his immediate response of going into a blessing state of mind served to help him heal remarkably fast to the point that a few hours later his wife did not notice anything amiss with his appearance. From a strictly logical point of view, it is obvious that someone focused on sending love and good wishes to everyone around them will be transformed by this experience to the point that others will find them much more enjoyable to be around. This means that while there may be no immediate reward in wishing others well from those who are behaving antagonistically, there will be rewards pouring in from many other directions. I particularly love the way "The Gentle of Art of Blessing" describes the way we can change the past by transforming our consciousness about the past. The key to success here is that we can recognize when we are the ones carrying a grudge or judgement around... and that we can make a choice to move into a state of blessing in relation to others, rather than holding onto judgement. I highly recommend "The Gentle Art of Blessing" to everyone with an open mind who is ready to experience how it feels to live with a heart fully open to love. This book can change your life!

The Physics of Miracles
Tapping in to the Field of Consciousness Potential
by Richard Bartlett
Simple Two-Point System for Miraculous Results
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1582702470/realityshifts

For those willing to suspend their disbelief, "The Physics of Miracles" provides astounding accounts of truly miraculous healing experiences. Readers looking for an easy way to start getting amazing results in manifesting what they most desire will be delighted to see Richard Bartlett explain the process in very simple, easy to master steps that have successfully shifted people's realities for the better in many ways. Bartlett explains that when you begin to practice the art of what he calls "two point," described in this book, "Things no longer happen to you. Instead, you begin to take responsibility for your creative use of universal energy." I've experienced and written about thousands of extraordinary reality shifting experiences in my life, including instantaneous healing, stopping time, materialization out of "thin air" of food and money and other physical objects, retrocausality (changing the past) and invisibility, among other things. I have a degree in physics from UC Berkeley, and especially love books containing scientific discussions of extraordinary human experiences, so to say that "The Physics of Miracles" is right up my alley is an understatement. I can immediately see the value of Bartlett's exercises, and the way he summarizes his Matrix Energetics in one sentence as, "Transformation occurs when you let go of the need for anything to happen." The good news for most readers is that it's not necessary to have either a degree in physics nor amazing spiritual experiences to enjoy "The Physics of Miracles." There's no need to be a graduate of one of Richard Bartlett's seminars, nor belong to a particular religion or spiritual group. This chiropractor turned author and energy healer has taught thousands of people to utilize his Matrix Energetics techniques, and his book describes some of the truly miraculous results he and his practitioners have achieved, along with a bit of an explanation of what one needs to do in order to become proficient in this kind of subtle energy work. Bartlett's gift for describing his discovery of high sense perception that allowed him to see inside patients as if he had Superman's powers of X-ray vision makes this book a fun and fast read. I love the way Bartlett helps readers realize a sense of his initial excitement with discovering amazing, miraculous changes. Bartlett's enthusiasm is infectious, and his assertion that anyone can quickly learn and master working with powerful subtle energies is thrilling. Bartlett sets an excellent example of a man who walks the mystical path with practical feet. Equal parts Visionary, Teacher, Healer and Warrior, Bartlett sets an excellent example of becoming comfortable with being empowered and present, paying attention to what has heart and meaning, without judging. Highly recommended!

Seekers of the Soul
Seven Psychics and Intuitives Talk about Their Work, and The Lives That Led Them To It
by Sherry Ward
Fascinating Life Stories of Seven Intuitive Guides
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595498663/realityshifts

Author Sherry Ward delves into off-the-beaten-path lives of seven psychics, visionaries and intuitives in "Seekers of the Soul." Ward's initial interest in these individuals developed when several of them provided her with intuitive guidance and information at a time when doctors found a mass in her kidney that they could not clearly identify. Ward was impressed with the intuitives who independently came to a consensus view that the mass in her kidney was not malignant, giving her confidence to wait a year before taking another medical exam which came back as 'not cancer.' Thanks to having received helpful and accurate information from these intuitives and psychics at such a pivotal time, Ward felt inspired to learn more about how these people knew what they knew and developed their exceptional abilities. Individuals profiled include: Serafina Andrews, David Cumes, Barbara Friedkin, Jenny Ellen Galloway, Judith MacKenzie-Castell, Catherine Rosek, and Mary Roach. I love the way "Seekers of the Soul" shows how seven people have taken seven amazingly different paths. David Cumes learned to throw bones from the shamans of his native South Africa, and has learned first-hand the importance of maintaining commitment to service above desire for power. David's story is especially interesting because in addition to his shamanic skills, he is also a medical doctor and surgeon who once taught at Stanford University's medical school. Some fascinating common threads emerge in these biographical accounts, such as the way each of these individuals felt compelled at some point to provide intuitive information in service to others, no matter how hard the challenges were along the way. Each of these people knew on a very deep level that they were being called to their life's work, and each knew their life would only feel fulfilling in the service to others with their intuitive ways of sensing and knowing. Readers interested in developing intuitive abilities will feel inspired to see a wide variety of useful ideas, techniques, and methods. While "Seekers of the Soul" is not a tutorial in learning how to throw bones, channel spirits, meditate or transcribe what is heard clairaudiently, it is definitely a book that will delight and enthrall. This book is perfect for lightworkers curious about how different intuitives and shamans felt their calling, followed their path, and see the most important challenges and opportunities present in their work. This book is marvelous for anyone interested in reading about what kinds of intuitive insights are possible in a variety of ways. Highly recommended.

Eyes Wide Open
Cultivating Discernment on the Spiritual Path
by Mariana Caplan
Assessing Your Progress on Your Path to Enlightenment
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591797322/realityshifts

The central idea of "Eyes Wide Open" is that spiritual growth and progress can occur in many different ways, including the occasional roadblock, detour, and rough spots along the journey. Psychologist and anthropologist Mariana Caplan shares insights culled from her spiritual experiences and expertise as to how spiritual seekers can become more discriminating about the paths they choose, and better measure the progress they make on the way. Caplan dances along the edge of enticing us to admit that "everyone is on a spiritual path" whether we acknowledge it or not, and then enthusiastically encouraging us to consider what kind of guidance works best for each of us. I am delighted to see Caplan suggest that we can progress just fine without a physical teacher to work with, and I appreciate her observation that it is better to avoid spiritual teachers who are not spiritually and/or psychologically balanced, healthy and whole. In her identification of "ten spiritually transmitted diseases," Caplan helps all of us better appreciate the highest levels of quality on our spiritual path, rather than succumbing to things such as: quick-fix spirituality, faux spirituality, mass production of spiritual teachers, identifying with spiritual experiences, spiritualized ego, spiritual pride and the "chosen people" complex. I especially love the gentle way Caplan encourages readers to trust their own intuition when selecting paths and teachers to work with. Caplan also excels at identifying some of the crises which often lead us to realize a need for greater spirituality in our lives, such as health crises, divorce, death, or addiction. Because so many people are initiated into spiritual experiences at times of unexpected crisis, it's important to be prepared at such times to make good choices concerning what kind of spiritual path will be adopted. Caplan understands that people are at their most vulnerable at the very moment when it matters most what sort of spiritual guidance they will be working with, and provides guidance to help readers find the strength, courage, and spiritual support in ways that also help them transform and grow. Learning to be increasingly mindful and aware in the present moment, Caplan suggests we can ask ourselves questions that help us better find our way such as, "Does this person / situation / experience give me energy, or take it away?" Caplan asks readers to become attentive to our individual preferences, so we can then choose a practice suited to who we are -- such as acceptance of all that occurs, or working with breathing to clear blockages, or transforming fear and anger into love and peace. While "Eyes Wide Open" is not itself a spiritual guidebook per se, it is a powerful tool for those seeking assistance in finding how to discover their best possible spiritual path. "Eyes Wide Open" is marvelous for intermediate to advanced spiritual seekers who are open to considering psychological views of spirituality. Some of the most advanced experienced spiritual seekers who are already well aware of such things as the many levels of samadhi might appreciate this author's masterful joining of psychology with spirituality in ways that help people better communicate some otherwise ineffable insights. Thought-provoking and highly recommended!
