Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

When I first started the type of meditation taught in the book shown below, there were some very powerful dreams.

In one of them, a little boy was throwing bricks at my windows. I went downstairs to check it out. A female police officer was there and arrested him. Meanwhile, a search of his/my apartment found lots of sharp weapons, a big round saw, knives, pikes, etc. Those were the weapons he used on me. He, a destructive force, was now neutralized.

I recommend this book for anyone who thinks.

3. You can elect a mental manager who takes a stand for maximizing love and well-being for yourself and others.
4. Your manager is up against some ferocious mind demons who preach negative messages of guilt, shame, and hopelessness.
5. To tame this unruly bunch of naysayers, your manager needs to learn mindfulness – the practice of detached observation.
