The powerful and loving angel is always around and wants to help the individual in every aspect of his life.

The book says that it is possible to cure even mental and emotional health by this method. Also included are correct childhood behavioral issues, angel affirmations to increase self-confidence, heal from grief and powerful angelic prayers for helping one find a soulmate. This book discusses topics like the future of the world, life after death, and finding one's divine purpose. The reader can also understand the meaning of some numbers like 111, why one comes across some human beings having angelic qualities, how the effect of one’s past lives affects one’s present life problems.

Mystic's Musings: A Profound Mystic Of Our Times

The path of a spiritual seeker can be difficult. As the introductory passages in the book point out, seekers are ignorant of where they came from, the path that they should take, and what the destination is. In this situation, how would one learn about the path to wisdom? In Mystic’s Musings: A Profound Mystic Of Our Times, Sadhguru explains the vital need for a guru - a teacher for those who want to tread the path of spirituality and enlightenment. Seekers can learn from those who have travelled the path before and more easily reach their destination. In this book, the guru for contemporary seekers, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, explains to his readers how they can walk on the path to eternal bliss in this troubled world. In the form of questions and answers, he provides answers to the doubts of all seekers. Sadhguru is forthright in his answers and pushes the readers to go beyond their comfort zones. To a question as to how to deal with fears and anxieties, he asserts that fears are unreal as they are created in the person’s mind and kept alive by them. He explains that by going beyond the physical confines of the body and connecting with the higher plane, one can get rid of fears and insecurities. The book states that once a person begins to experience life at the spiritual level, fears and anxieties begin to disappear. With this beginning, the Sadhguru expounds on many topics, from mundane facts of life to the path to enlightenment, experiences of spirituality, life, death, and what lies beyond death. He also talks about the beings in other planes, and about disembodied beings. Mystic’s Musings: A Profound Mystic Of Our Times often challenges the readers’ level of comfort, urging them to explore their limitations and conditionings. It encourages them to explore everything, to ask questions and be open minded so that they can be receptive to all aspects of existence.

Zen In The Art OF Painting

This new study reveals all the mystery of the zen approach to painting. The impact of zen art comes from its synthesis of elementary power and meditative silence, of unaffected simplicity and unfathomable depth, of sparkling humor and a subtle feeling for the miracles of everyday life.zen painters working from the basis of religious enlightenment, see the world around them with changed eyes. this is reflected in the seven qualities of thier art - asymmetry, simplicity, naturalness, depth, freedom, repose and consistency - some of which transcend purely aesthetic values and point to lofy moral and religious ideals. zen painting is not an isolated and clearly differentiated genre of East Asian art. as this book shows, it must be seen in its proper setting of the general history of art in china and japan on the one hand, and the overall development of Buddhist art in the East on the other.
