Matrix Meditations
Autor Victor Daniels, Kooch Danielsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2009
- Contains meditation practices from both Eastern and Western traditions
- Includes proven techniques for increasing mental clarity, replacing negative behaviors that have become habits, and realizing your desires
"Matrix Meditations" offers dynamic meditation practices derived from both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions to develop intuition, manifest desires, and empower the self by forging a strong heart-mind relationship. The authors provide a systematic 16-week program that is designed to develop heightened awareness and deeper states of consciousness for readers with any level of meditation experience, moving from lessons in classical Eastern techniques to advanced levels that employ methods not found elsewhere.
Four key forms of meditation are used in the book: concentration, mindfulness, contemplation, and adventures in awareness. These are applied to specific practices that range from improving mental clarity and memory to replacing self-limiting patterns of thinking and behaving in which you may be trapped. Each of the 65 meditations offers a doorway into a different chamber of your consciousness and an opportunity to learn more about your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual nature. The matrix can also be used as an oracle to guide you to the most valuable meditation you need for the present moment--be it love, balance, conflict, dreams, renewal, or celebration. These meditation techniques are designed to create healing and harmony between the mind and emotions, allowing you to attain not only greater financial and emotional security and well-being but also life-long spiritual growth.

Recenzii
"Whether you are an experienced mediator or a beginner, this is easy to understand and to follow. It is written in real English, not psychobabble, and is in no way 'airy-fairy'." --Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn Magazine, September 2010

NEW AGE / MEDITATION "Victor and Kooch Daniels have studied dozens of meditative disciplines, creating a systems approach in which each of their readers will be able to find a suitable path. In today's troubled world, navigating the sea of consciousness can be a hazardous task. Matrix Meditations provides a trustworthy guide for avoiding the hazards and enjoying the ride." --Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Saybrook Graduate School, and coeditor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience "Matrix Meditations takes the complex and makes it simple, with one thought in mind--to show the reader that despair can be changed into hope and tragedy can be transformed into triumph. It gives readers truly practical methods for solving their worst problems and thus achieving happiness and success. Magical and mystical at the same time, Matrix Meditations is a must read!" --John Harricharan, author of When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat Matrix Meditations offers dynamic meditation practices derived from both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions to develop intuition, manifest desires, and empower the self by forging a strong heart-mind relationship.
