商品簡介
A Practical Guide to Meditation & Prayer offers a clear, grounded approach to two essential spiritual practices. Revised and expanded by J Douglas Bottorff, this edition invites readers to move beyond secondhand religious ideas and discover meditation and prayer as practical ways of awakening consciousness to the wholeness of the soul.
Meditation is presented as the practice of becoming still and receptive to the spiritual reality already present within. Prayer is presented not as a way to persuade God or force outer results, but as the conscious alignment of thought, feeling, speech, choice, and action with that reality. Together, they become a path of release, renewal, and practical transformation.
Drawing from Unity and New Thought traditions, the book explores the Creative Life Force as the living Source within all existence. The soul is understood not as fallen, defective, or incomplete, but as already whole-seeking fuller expression through consciousness, healing, prosperity, relationships, creativity, and service.
Readers will find guidance on entering the silence, using denial and affirmation wisely, applying prayer to daily life, releasing fear and limitation, and meeting change with courage and trust. Each major section includes review and reflective questions, and the expanded edition also features a 30-Day Practice Guide to help turn spiritual understanding into lived experience.
This book is ideal for readers interested in meditation, affirmative prayer, Unity teachings, New Thought spirituality, practical Christianity, and the relationship between consciousness and daily life. At its heart, it is an invitation to become still, listen inwardly, release what is false or fearful, and allow the wholeness of the soul to become visible in the way you live.
