I first became interested in meditation and prayer while in college. After writing The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Palmistry, I proposed a similar book devoted to meditations, prayers and blessings. Writing this book was both an adventure and a gift.
Published in March 2000, The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Meditations and Blessings contains hundreds of meditations, prayers and blessings from a wide variety of the world's traditions that are designed to deepen our connection both with our soul and what Native Americans call "The Great Spirit". I was able to find material gleaned from major faiths Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, as well as gems from less-known sources, like Baha'i and Jainism. Some were of my own creation, and others were shared by generous friends. Some of the meditations and prayers involve the use of candles, sacred symbols, mantras, music and nature. For each meditation, there is instruction on breathing, posture and visualization.
