The four tapes in this series offer guided meditation exercises that support living more mindfully, experiencing a deepened sense of meaning, and honoring the presence of the sacred in the midst of everyday activities. The material in the tapes is based on the premise that we co-exist in a world of collective, as well as individual consciousness-that we never travel alone. The guided meditations promote an experience of living consciously and, when we do, tapping into a vital awareness of life's abundance and possibilities. As a result, we become more mindful and compassionate with ourselves and others, and experience a deepened sense of gratitude and generosity. Recognizing our place within collective consciousness, we discover an underlying web of interdependence and interconnection in which our individual contributions to the larger context have meaning and power. Whether you currently are on a healing journey, or are at a point in your life when you seek to expand your awareness of everyday and spiritual realities, you are supported by all those who have journeyed before you. Every experience of every one of us adds to collective consciousness, and we draw on this collective wisdom whether we are aware of it or not. Living consciously enhances a sense of aliveness, of spiritual and psychological vitality, and bolsters us as we face each day. Ultimately, they lead to a life lived with greater awareness, ease, and equanimity.

Tape 1 offers a kind of mindfulness meditation that teaches you to allow thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses to move through you as easily as clouds move through the sky. By developing the capacity to shift to a spacious state of mind, your ability to recenter yourself, find the humor in difficult situations, and exercise a greater sense fo internal equilibrium is greatly enhanced. On tape 2, experience the opening of your heart as you explore offering compassion to yourself and others. Through lovingkindness, wish yourself well and send thoughts of good will to others. Discover how living with an open heart actually creates a greater sense of strength, connection,a nd safety in the world, and allows you to move through suffering with greater ease. Tape 3 invites you to develop a dynamic relationship with gratitude and generosity, and increase your experience of abundance in all areas of your life. By tapping into a deeper, collective wisdom about
abundant living, offer yourself the opportunity to discover the true source of supply, the availability of whatever you seek. On tape 4, you
explore and release rules and prohibitions from the past that may have held you back or prevented you from achieving all you have the capacity to create in your life, and offers a way to leave behind old loyalties and messages from the past as you give yourself permission to blossom. Access your optimal future self, the part of you that has expressed your inherent talent and potential. Then, say 'yes' to this self, to all that you have the potential to be.

Caution,
By Avid Reader "Avid Reader" (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Practices for Conscious Living (Hardcover)
This book contains much of the same information as that included in Napier's earlier title, Recreating Your Self. What makes this book different from the other is its Buddhist, rather than psychological, bent. Depending on your knowledge of Buddhist principles, this book may be of use; it seems most suited for those with only a sketchy background in the Buddhist tradition. For someone well-versed in that tradition, this book may well be a disappointment, for it does justice to neither the spiritual tradition it espouses nor the psychological underpinnings of its content. If you are interested in a more forthright treatment of meditative practices that encourage healing, get the earlier title.

Simply wonderful. :o),
By Indigo (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Practices for Conscious Living (Hardcover)
As someone who has 'rebuilt her sense of self' after a difficult marriage breakdown, Nancy's book came into my life at precisely the right moment. It is brimming with energy and ideas to assist one on the path to self-realization. Even if you've read through it in its entirety, you'll find you turn to it again and again and find something new each time you do.

A Gift!,
By Vivian (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Practices for Conscious Living (Hardcover)
I am truly blessed to get to work with Nancy in person. However, I have read this book and given it to friends who've had nothing but the highest praise for it. One friend in particular announced that upon meeting a potential therapist, he would insist on having the doctor read it. The exercises within the book have helped me tremendously. I think so many of us are trying to be more aware of the grace within day to day life, Nancy's book is a beautiful tool for anyone on this path.
