Editorial Reviews

Review

Just as physical exercise helps to build physical vitality, spiritual exercises help build spiritual vitality. The Spiritual Exercises Of Eck contains 131 "steps" which lead to spiritual freedom, self-mastery, wisdom, and love. Each step is a spiritual exercise leading the discovery of an "inner master", dream consciously, protect oneself spiritually, achieve balance and harmony, and "soul travel" into the splendorous worlds of God. These exercises are simple and straightforward. Described succinctly (often in less than a page each), practitioners will see gradual changes in their outlook on life over a period of weeks or months. -- Midwest Book Review

One of the best meditation collections of today! ...can help your life become more relaxed and complete. -- Voices from Spirit Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars "WORTH EXPLORING!", August 10, 2000

This review is from: The Spiritual Exercises of Eck: Your Doorway to Wisdom, Freedom, and Love (Paperback)

According to the author, "The Spiritual Exercises of ECK, the Holy Spirit, are a treasure whose value we might overlook because of their simplicity". There are 131 exercises covering balance and harmony, healing and protection, solving problems, dreams, self-discipline, mastering your fate. They are given in a clear, gentle, simplistic manner. The value is in applying them. I especially liked the "Water of Life", "Attention Grabbers" and "Doorway to Heaven". I tried them and did notice a change in some of my viewpoints, and that I was more alert and amenable through out the day. There are additional techniques to experience the "inner light and sound of God". Reminiscient of Gibran and Rumi, yet more direct. The author is the spiritual leader of ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God. There is no esoteric jargon here, just straight-forward options for examining, exploring, strengthening ones spirituality and ability to cope with life. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Developing Spiritual Strength, September 16, 2006

This review is from: The Spiritual Exercises of Eck: Your Doorway to Wisdom, Freedom, and Love (Paperback)

I use The Spiritual Exercises of Eck frequently because in it, I have found innovative ways to get out of my own way when looking for answers to life's problems. I am continually amazed at how much inner strength I have developed by these practices. Far from being slavish reliance on some outside force or being, these exercises have taught me how to harmonize myself to the rhythms of life. They are simple, practical, and extremely effective. For example, one exercise helped me solve a programming problem I had with my computer. Another helped me when I sat with my father when he was about to leave this world. This book isn't a quick read--it is a life-long study.
