Opis

40 Meditations in 40 Days: A Guide to Personal Transformation is a unique self-help guide composed not of complicated exercises and uncomfortable thought processes but of insightful inspirations, one for each of the forty days, to help readers transform their fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs into a state of emotional well-being. Author and life coach Beth Sandri created this book during the experience of losing a loved one in order to illuminate a path toward healing. The format of the book is concise and easy to follow. It is designed to be read over the course of forty days, due to the fact that this particular number represents a time of change and renewal across major cultures, religions, and societies. Each of the forty essays in the book takes a simple one- or two-word idea and expands on it, offering readers a thought-provoking and deeply meditative perspective. Themes explored in the book include Letting Go, Deep Wisdom, Acceptance, Desire, and Forgiveness. The essays all end with an invitation to the reader to incorporate that day's meditation into his or her everyday life with a specific intention. Following this is a short blank space for the reader to record a response to the essay and any personal thoughts that might be helpful when re-reading the meditation. It is common of self-help books to ask readers to go outside of their comfort zones: to interact with others in ways that might be difficult, or to require too much time for exercises and not enough time to continue with the activities and pressures of daily life in the modern world. Sandri has come up with a brilliant self-help concept that does none of these things. The meditations are personal and introspective and require nothing uncomfortable; readers need only to reserve a few moments at the beginning or end of the day to read and reflect. Sandri's fresh approach to a familiar concept makes her teachings relatable, highly engaging, and user-friendly. Anyone seeking reflection, meaning, or just a word of comfort will love this daily reader and its enormous capacity to teach and change.
