The Many Faces of Prayer

About the Book

When you use the word prayer, what comes to mind? I believe that prayer leads to a certain type of relaxation that allows us to hear God speaking. I believe it is a silent song that we are always hearing but sometimes forget to listen to. This book is my humble attempt to explore various aspects of prayer based on spiritual practices in the east and west such as: prayer of action; life as prayer; prayer as adventure; listening to the silence; studies on prayer; ceremonies and rituals; and the practice of Reiki. This is a book about peace, love, and joy and I hope you will discover more of it in your reading experience.
