About this listen
For those seeking a spiritual deepening and a way to respond to the challenges of our time, this book offers a path close to the heart of God. A challenge to awaken unfolds through 10 spiritual practices for the journey. Beginning with sitting meditation, the book explores myriad ways to enter the silence, including walking the labyrinth, engaging in sacred conversation, cultivating gratitude, divine reading (lectio divina) with sacred texts and nature, mindful eating, listening contemplatively throughout the day, participating in contemplative rituals and engaging in centered action. Drawing on her personal experience as a contemplative, the author offers a poem, a rationale, and introduction for each practice. Included in these reflections are Letters from the Earth that the author has received about each practice.

Experience it for yourself, as Asha brings you into meetings, conversations, personal counseling, living rooms, classrooms, long walks, meetings, and meditations.

When a friend offered author Corin Grillo a session of angel healing, Grillo was doubtful. But she was also a burnt-out psychotherapist, depressed and threatened with foreclosure. Grillo walked out of that initial reading with renewed energy and a rare-to-her sense of calm, peace, and hope. She soon learned that angels were powerful warriors ready and waiting, 24/7, to hear from us. Grillo discovered the ways that indigenous peoples and the faithful of all major world religions have called on benevolent beings, sent from God/Source/Creator, to aid humans.
