Awaken to Your Spiritual Self

Well, what can I say? A truly fantastic book. It is apparent that Abadie relishes in breathing spiritual fresh air, and her enthusiasm and enlightenment shines through to an overwhelming degree. In this book, Abadie reveals the true meanings of spirituality - experiencing a sense of completeness, increasing self confidence and learning to respect the sacred in the ordinary; and it's all refreshingly free from any kind of religious dogma or regulation.Abadie explains the powerful effects of prayer and mediation, and shows that when we choose to shift our focus away from the folly and stress of society, we can all find an inner peace and a strength by focusing on the 'spiritual level' of existence. For me personally (as a Christian), her comments about us being in contact with the "Universal Spirit", and our oneness with the "Universal Body" shows that when we pray or meditate, we are all in contact with the same thing - whatever we want to call it. Indeed her talk about the importance to treat one's own body as a "temple", and her three vivid accounts of the intervention of "angels" in her life, and also her comments about the "Universal Spirit" is very compatible with Christianity, yet Abadie's outlook is completely compatible with Buddhist thought and with spirituality in general. If you know there must be something more to life than the stress and folly of society and materialism, but you haven't quite found it yet, then this is the book for you. Highly recommended.
