The Lord’s Prayer, The Seven Chakras, The Twelve Life Paths: the prayer of Christ Consciousness as a light for the auric centers and a map through the archetypal paths of astrology
Dana Williams received an while meditating, she "saw" how the phrases of the Lord's Prayer align with the 7 chakras and the 12 paths of life. Williams shares her insights while teaching the reader two very doable and healing prayer-meditations--doable no matter how busy and overwhelming life becomes. Williams writes, "Each phrase of the Lord's Prayer fits into a chakra like a key into a lock. By reciting each phrase within its chakra, we create an impulse or evocation that brings us into harmony with Spirit's intention for our growth. The Lord's Prayer prayer-meditation begins at the highest chakra of pure Christ Consciousness. As we continue through the prayer, this highest energetic quality descends into the lower chakras, clearing and transforming the patterns of ego that block the impulse of Spirit in our life. If you start a practice when you are young and keep it up over many years, even if you periodically neglect it, the practice will grow, change and deepen. I now have much to share about this special visualization and prayer-meditation that I believe spans the arch of eastern and western religions.” For those who would like to learn more about working sincerely with the sacred energy of prayer, the meditations described in this book should have an immediate, transformative effect. The deeper purpose of this book is to open the door to this experience. Williams is also the author of "The Rose Way Meditation" and "Math by Grace." Dana Williams bases her books on the work of her teacher, Joe Koperski.
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Dana Williams' first teacher, Joe Koperski, channeled a meditation method from earlier stages of Earth's development, from a time when humans were less materially dense and the portals between the spiritual and earthly dimensions were more accessible. Dana studied intensely with Joe while she was still a teen.
Dana moved to Europe when she was 19 to study music. During these years, she also taught the Rose Way Meditation as a framework for developing access to auric energy sensitivity, healing, telepathy, remote viewing and more.
These classes were held at the parapsychological society of Basel Switzerland and the Parapsychology Institute in Freiburg, Germany, under renowned Professor Hans Bender.
When she was 25, Dana was guided to her second teacher, Hugo Maier, of Ramana Maharishi lineage. Hugo traveled between Arunachalla in India and the Alps in Switzerland, and Dana would spend weeks with him and his small group of students each summer.
Hugo's teaching was universal: he spoke of all religions with respect and insight, enjoining his students not to reject but to discover the heart of each tradition.
After the birth of Dana's children, it was difficult to find time for regular meditation practice.
A meditation that she "received" when she had just begun studying with Joe Koperski would become her mainstay, keeping her mind and energy aligned and clear, even as she took on challenges of parenting as well as dealing with health issues in herself and her family that affect so many in this time of environmental toxicity.
Her desire to share this beautiful and powerful "meditation-prayer" led to her publication of "The Lord's Prayer, The Seven Chakras, The Twelve Life Paths" in 2009, along with a book for parents , "Math By Grace," which addresses the cognitive needs of children.
In 2013, she felt guided to publish "The Rose Way Meditation".
Dana offers an online Rose Way Meditation course whenever five or more persons organize as a group.
She also offers one-on-one spiritual consulting, meditation practice and hypnotherapy.
I liked this book. I think it gave a brief overview of meditating through the chakras and incorporating the Lord through these meditations in the form of the Lord’s Prayer. I think it is a good starting point into meditation and insight on how meditating can be a way of connecting more with the Lord. The author also gave advice on how to visualize the meditations and make them your own. Great starting point overall!
