Violet Flame to Heal Body, Mind & Soul by Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1998, Paperback, Pocket)

I bought this book as a replacement for one I lost, which had become my faithful daily companion. When you USE this book, it becomes a part of your routine - meditation, prayer time, inspiration-for-the-day time. But it actually has become MUCH MORE than that for me, since following the prescribed meditation has saved me from physical harm on more than one occasion. Example: In 2001, I was driving in the wee hours of the night from Cincinnati to the Columbus area, and there was little to no traffic on the roadway. Unbeknownst to me, I entered a construction zone where there were three- to four-foot ditches on either side of a single-lane highway, and only occasional, hard-to-see orange barrels to show me where the road was. It was newly paved, sans paint lines. An extremely dark evening, light was scarce - except for the violet light that suddenly appeared in the center of the road ahead of me. From years of working with this book, I had automatically started going into the Violet Flame meditation, and the Help I needed was there. I followed the Violet Light and drove 10 more miles through this dark valley to safety. This is just one of many situations I could have cited to show that Body, Mind and Spirit can be united with Source in many life-affirming ways. The physical protection is just one portion of the treasure in this short, easy read, which can provide a lifetime of spiritual adventure if you are faithful in using it. If you let it become a part of you each and every day, you will find a peacefulness you never knew you could access. There are a few stories and examples to grab your heartstrings and pique your spiritual interest. It could be organized a bit better, but I believe the original writer left us riches beyond our capability to understand which more than compensate for any lack of organization. Love and light to all, The Rev. Helen Hayes
