World Prayers, Mantras, & Words of Power: Ancient and Contemporary Wisdom For A New Age

There is perhaps no more poignant indication of the universality of humankind than the realization that nearly every faith in the world shares similar prayers and incantations. In her inspiring book World Prayers, Mantras & Words of Power: Ancient & Contemporary Wisdom For a New Age, Alix H. Mahe', M.Sc. and Reiki master, takes readers on a meaningful journey through words. We learn about the mantra-a word or sound that, when repeated, awakens our spirituality- and the sutra, an abbreviated text based on Buddha's words. Mahé introduces us to little known, yet universal prayers for peace and hope, repeated in languages and nuances characteristic of each spiritual belief that created them...different words, different rhythms, yet so similar in message. Whether readers are familiar with these words and cultures or are experiencing them for the first time, the author's commentaries, delivered with tender heart and hopeful spirit, are sure to enlighten.
