Synopsis:

Children and adults, people in classrooms and corporate offices, and people from all backgrounds are practicing meditation to release stress and feel happier. Something Radiant Within offers practical meditations that invite one’s attention to body, mind and spirit. It addresses specific concerns by offering fifty-six topics with suggested practices. One may choose to practice a meditation that speaks to their particular situation, followed by writing about the meditation experience in the personal journal provided. Included poems by the author and others are best enjoyed with contemplative meditation. You are invited to explore this book and enjoy the meditations that speak to your heart.

About the Author: My early years were spent on a family farm where our seven children’s father and I farmed crops to feed cattle, hogs and chickens. We had a dairy herd and sold milk, meat and eggs. There was always an abundance of fresh, healthy food from our garden. I look back to this now and am grateful for the years of living close to the land. In the 1970s a friend invited me to attend Unity By The Sea in Santa Monica, California. I had left the farm and my church of origin, and was attending many churches as I searched for a greater awareness of God’s Love. During the meditation, led by a soloist who sang, Something Within, my tears flowed and I knew God was that Something Within me. I began studying with Unity and never looked back. I was ordained a Unity Minister in 1982. Unity has published several of my articles and poems in the Unity Magazine and in The Daily Word. Often when I take my morning walk a poem, and sometimes a melody, streams through my mind. I repeat it until I arrive home and grab a pen and paper to catch it before it drifts away. Some of these poems are included in this book for contemplation. Sometimes the words coming through become chants or songs. I enjoy sharing these with the meditation practice which I lead every Saturday. We have been meditating together for more than four years and the loving-kindness of this community of friends has added immensely to the content of this book.
