What was Jesus' personal spiritual practice? What can he offer us today to help us understand our relationships, our purpose, and the depth of our own being? By going back to the language Jesus would originally have spoken - Aramaic - Dr Neil Douglas-Klotz retrieves what has been 'lost in translation' for the best part of 2000 years. He re-translates Jesus' most powerful benedictions and invocations for peace, healing and divine connection, allowing the original, rich layers of meaning to shine through. Each blessing also has an associated guided 'body prayer' on the CD, allowing you to experience the words in a contemplative or spiritual practice similar to those that Jesus himself would have employed to generate spiritual energy and insight. Whether for personal inspiration or use in communal worship and rites of passage, Blessings of the Cosmos offers you a heart-opening prayerbook that will guide you towards an ever deepening, daily experience of the divine. 108pp, 148mm x 223mm, hardback book + 72 minute CD, 2006
