Mystics tell us that behind the veil of material appearances exists an infinite, unconditionally loving principle of benevolence, abundance and peace. Would you like to develop your own awareness of that? An awareness so vivid, so unwavering that you can no longer mistake the veil for the reality? An awareness so penetrating that the laws of Love, with their transforming, healing power, are admitted even into the darkest hell?
This, and no less, is the aim of The Gentle Art of Blessing, described so eloquently by Pierre Pradervand. To bless, says Pierre, means to wish, unconditionally and from the deepest chamber of your heart, unrestricted good for others and events. To bless is to acknowledge the omnipresent, universal beauty hidden from material eyes; it is to activate that law of attraction which, from the furthest reaches of the universe, will bring into your life exactly what you need to experience and enjoy.
By making The Gentle Art of Blessing your daily spiritual practice, you will learn to send out thoughts and feelings that will enable you to:
* stay spiritually centred and calm - even in the most trying circumstances
* attract more goodness, joy and love into your own life, and the lives of those around you
* spread an atmosphere of kindness, peace and healing wherever you go
* open possibilities for healing in the hearts of those controlled by greed, selfishness and fear
* enhance the life and growth of all the kingdoms of nature - human, animal, plant and mineral alike
* experience a greater sense of Oneness with all life
* reverse negative energy, whatever its source
* feel empowered instead of victimized in difficult situations
You will find that The Gentle Art of Blessing is the perfect way to develop an awareness constantly centred in love. When you bless all those you meet in their total happiness and true integrity, without the slightest concern for their appearance, expression, race, class, gender, or any other label, when you wish them the very best from your innermost being, it will be impossible for your heart not to expand. From a narrow cubicle, it will become a temple without walls.
