Customer Reviews

a soulful gem

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. True, this book won't overhaul your emotional life but then it doesn't promise to do that. What it does do is bring a sense of the sacred into everyday life. I love its gentle tone and practical, easy to follow suggestions for bringing healing rituals into our lives. Sometimes they are so simple - saying grace for example - but make a huge difference. It's about stopping for a while, taking stock, allowing your intuition to flower. If you're a busy person, looking for simple, gentle, effective ways to bring the soulful into your life, I think you couldn't do better than to buy this book.

This is a fabulous tool for today's busy people.

Jane Alexander's hardcover book, "Rituals for Sacred Living", is a beautifully illustrated and arranged book to calm and focus we busy people living in the fast-paced world of today. In eight brief chapters she explains "sacred living", and how to connect you with yourself and the Universe. Other chapter titles include: "Your home as a reflection of the soul, "Sacred areas in the home", "Mealtime rituals", "Spiritual cleansing", "Releasing negative energy", "Sacred sexuality" and "Celebrating life's cyles." This book is lavishly illustrated, with full color photos or drawings on each page. The feeling I was left with was of great reverence and enthusiasm for life, whether Alexander was gently pointing out the underlying benefits of the easy self-discipline lessons, or the meaningful enjoyments of daily living. The hardcover-only edition will assist in preserving this rich and ripe guide. Enjoy! Give generously as gifts as well as to your self.
