150 Meditations From The World’s Mystics

One of the biggest challenges people have in maintaining an ongoing practice (besides setting aside the time) is a surprising one. It’s not what to do. It’s not how to do it. It’s not even feeling like they’re doing it wrong.

It’s transitioning.

When we’re stuck in our thoughts and to-do lists, it can be hard to downshift into the contemplative space.

This is a sticking point for a surprising amount of people.

Our friends Marc and Clint from Contemplative Light have responded to that need with a book of simple meditations to help with that transition.

Their new book “150 Meditations From The World’s Mystics” is a collection of wisdom from those who have walked this path, who have opened themselves to the divine silence.

Here’s just a quick sample:

“To the right seeing eye, creation is afire with God.”
~Anonymous

“For all that has been, thanks.
To all that shall be, yes.”
~Dag Hammerskjold

If you read devotionals, you already know how they can be a true blessing. A devotional can uplift you when you’re feeling discouraged, sad or lonely. And, if you are feeling called to write devotionals, know that you have a unique opportunity to bless others and make a genuine difference in their lives. This course takes you step by step through the process, and then guides you towards publishing, if that is your goal.
