Synopsis

Hard times don't hurt if we know how to transform them to our benefit. Rather than being meaningless or evil we can transform them into opportunities to develop special inner qualities. By doing so we become more whole, healthy and happy. "Everything is a Blessing" provides you with the skills to begin this special journey. It will teach you how to take control, overcome and actually use problems as a ladder to personal and spiritual growth. Through applying these ideas and simple meditation techniques we can develop more space and clarity in our mind and learn to view the challenges of life in a more playful way, taking the power away from problems and channeling it in to transformational growth. Drawing on many spiritual traditions, "Everything is a Blessing" pays particular attention to the teachings of the Buddha and the way in which they can power our spiritual path through the ups and downs of everyday life.

"The emphasis of this book is about understanding and appreciating the lessons we can learn from the experiences we have in the here and now. It is about changing the way we perceive our trials and tribulations, whether to do with our health, relatinoships, finances or wahtever. by altering our perspectives and expectations at will, we can control the real source of unhappiness, which is an uncontrolled mind. There are various exercises and meditations to help and there are useful summaries at the end of each chapter, as well as highlighted inspirational sentences."

Planetstarz.com "A very practical book, best treated as a course of study, which can help you on your own journey of personal growth and inner transformation." Rainbow News "David Vennells wonder-full book 'Everything is a Blessing' shares the techniques which can allow every reader to feel blessed and bless'ed; without entrapping themselves in an inert acceptance of difficult times. Life wasn't meant to be a struggle so why make it one? Blessings comes in many disguises and so we all need to know just how to look for them. Once we can consciously acknowledge them we can surf the moment of discovery and enjoy the positivety they bring. For only once we count how truly lucky we really are can we begin to make good use of the inner strength they bring into our lives. This book will inspire, motivate and uplift, which is to coin a phrase is 'a true blessing in itself.' Barbara Venn-Lever, Radio Host 'Positively Barbara' on www.myspiritradio.com
