Prayer

About the Book

We are presently living at a truly extraordinary time of profound transformation. Most people, wherever they may be living in the world, are presented with very real and great dangers but equally real and perhaps even greater opportunities. To survive and thrive in the 21st century it is essential to activate our intuition and to awaken our spiritual consciousness. The royal road, the fundamental skill, to achieve this is prayer.

Integrating the teachings of the spiritual tradition, of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and of Psychosynthesis, the author who has personally experienced the theory and practice of prayer in his own being life and observed many different people in different cultures do the same, aims at making prayer become conscious: alive, meaningful, and effective. While the essential prayers were drawn from the Christian tradition, the same can be done with prayers coming from any valid tradition. The "key" here is to be able to contact and drawn down the Light from the inner Source that already dwells at the core of our being.

About the Author

Peter Roche de Coppens has dedicated more than 50 years of his life and all of his inner and outer resources to the study of spirituality and the awakening of spiritual consciousness. This he applied to sociology, psychology, psychotherapy, education and finally healthcare and medicine. It was Prayer, which he learned from Saints and Sages as well as his own research that helped him heal from a severe motorcycle accident in his early twenties. This led him to study different medical approaches and paradigms to finally systematically introduce the spiritual dimension and consciousness to bring about a new and more integral healthcare paradigm. With degrees in sociology, anthropology and psychotherapy, Dr. Roche de Coppens has taught for more than 35 years at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania where he is still active as a Professor Emeritus. He also taught at other universities, including the Sorbonne (Paris), McGill (Montreal) and the University of Bari (Bari, Italy). He was a spiritual consultant for the United Nations and now is still active as a spiritual consultant for Guna, Italy. He has authored more than 80 books and numerous articles in English, French and Italian.
