The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living

by Patrick J. Harbula

The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living is a brand new book that offers 224 pages of inspirational guidance and practical techniques to create deeper levels of inner peace, fulfillment, and purpose. The book is a perfect guide for anyone interested in furthering their spiritual path, healing physical or emotional dis-ease, or achieving life dreams. The accompanying audio CD provides guided exercises to assist a daily spiritual practice.

The book was written to help integrate spiritual strength and clarity into everyday living. In an exciting narrative that includes the author's personal accounts of achieving financial success, healing from chronic illness, and realizing spiritual transformation, the text guides the reader to self-empowerment through meditation, visualization techniques, mental mastery, emotional healing, and clarification of life purpose. The Magic of the Soul is more user friendly than most in its genre. It presents helpful statements of encouragement throughout the text that are centered and highlighted, almost like the author is speaking directly to the reader. The philosophy is explained in simple and practical language. The accompanying audio CD contains meditations (accented by soothing background music) that guide the listener through many of the exercises provided in the text.

Everyone has experienced peak moments when they were at their highest levels of understanding, compassion, and mastery. The trick can be learning how to expand and reinforce these experiences through everyday living. How does one recognize and act as a custodian of spiritual force when one is presented with stress, frustration, and even tragedy? The Magic of the Soul suggests recognizing that spiritual force, the magic of each individual's soul, is present and active in every experience. Through daily practice, people can dramatically change how they respond to life's challenges and infuse the direction of their lives with greater peace, fulfillment, and meaning.

I bought it for a class. It was released in 2003 and so much has changed since then — and there’s more scientific evidence.

I liked what he wrote about meditation, and that there is magic even in what we perceive as bad moments. This is an awareness that comes and goes.

There are some good that he mentions like “The 100th Monkey Phenomenon “ that are pseudo science at best. I just ignored that part and moved on.

Overall the book and class I took at Center for Spiritual Living was interesting and actually difficult. The concept of living a peaceful and magical life is a practice. I went to a funeral when the class began and another funeral the week after the class ended. It felt overwhelming. I spoke to my teacher and she reminded me that not even the Dalia Llama is always at peace and seeing its magic. We can practice the tools of affirmative prayer, meditation, being present and surrendering to Spirit. And know that the feeling of overwhelm will diminish.
