Product Description
Once in a decade comes a book that can affect people at the very core of their experience. A contemporary masterpiece in the tradition of the world's great spiritual writings, Spiritual Growth is such a book. It contains the essence of the contemporary spiritual path, embodying joy, growth, and increased aliveness. The teachings are profound and inspirational. Open the book to any page. Quiet your mind, read, savor the words. The effect is instantaneous. Your mind is uplifted, your heart is opened, and your body experiences the sensations of peace. The techniques are practical. Spiritual Growth teaches readers how to move to higher consciousness, when to be an active force, and when to surrender and let things happen. Spiritual Growth will teach readers how to: be their Higher Selves in their everyday life, create a vision of their higher purpose, and manifest what they want rapidly and easily. Readers will learn to work with light for healing and growth, to connect with the Universal Mind for enhanced creativity, and to link with the Higher Will to carry out their higher purpose. A series of meditations (each of the 21 chapters has one) take the reader step-by-step through the process of spiritual growth. Speaking always to the higher aspect of the reader, Orin offers the next step in spiritual growth for those who want to know more about who they are, why they are here, and what they come to do.

This is the third book in a series by Sanaya Roman. I tried to keep an open mind while reading this book. I am not a spiritual person but thought that this book had some pretty good ideas. The book is channeled through Sanaya Roman but the words written come from a higher being named Orin who exists on a higher plane than our own. Each chapter tackles a different life issues and ends in a meditation exercise that can be used as a tool to improve upon what the chapter addressed. Five pages into the book you are given a meditation exercise in which you get into a relaxed state and attempt to merge with your "higher self" and than ask him/her an important question. At first I took it quite literally and expected to be magically transported to some kind of plateau of enlightenment (silly of me I know, but remember, I was trying to keep my natural skepticism at bay, it wasn't easy). Than as I attempted the exercise over and over sometimes for up to an hour I realized that maybe you are just supposed to use your imagination to create the scenarios. Since all of the other meditation exercises rely on being able to perform the first one I could progress no further. The rest of the book is made up of reworded theory backed up through personal scenarios that are only convincing to those that experienced them and the assumption that this book is coming from an all knowing, all seeing source. It contains an exercise similar to what is taught in "The Secret". You can use light and vibrations to make things happen without actually doing anything physically. She says in the start of the book to abandon any assumptions you have going into the book and embrace it with all of your heart. Maybe for some people this is easy but I couldn't keep the red flags at bay. If this book helps you improve your life and makes you happy I think that's great, but it definitely isn't for everyone.

Challenging March 9, 2007
Although I love this book, I don't advise people to start here on the path to spirital awakening. I am of the opinion that you should first read up on information about channeling. Doing so will help you accept the fact that you are always being protected by benevolent beings such as your Higher Self and will enable you to ebrace the notion of connecting with such a being with an open heart. In the beginning, I tried to jump right in but found that without adequate information about the subject my mind conjured up all types of fear-based fantasies about being posessed. Eventually, I learned to trust spirit and allowed my heart to be "touched by an angel". Once you begin this journey you will never be the same: your want to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually will grow exponentially. This will probably be challenging for most because growth often translates into having little to no room left for old patterns and friends. Approach when ready.

I think that in the world there is still some confusion between religion and spirituality. You can be religious, but not spiritual. You can know all the creeds, follow all the dogmas, practice all the rites and passages but if there is no Spirit involved in with what you are doing and practicing, what good is it? I think the main reason why more and more people don't break out of their old religious mindsets is because they have become superstitious about their beliefs. They fear that God might punish them or forsake them or send them to hell for attempting to expand their beliefs.
This book really gave me some valuable insights on how you can truly spiritualize the ordinary...because NOTHING is ordinary! Everything is already Spirit. We don't make something spiritual...we look to see where the Spirit might be in this situation. And maybe you're grumbling to yourself, "There ain't nothin' spiritual about my situation..."
Let me give you a few reminders, if you're experiencing bad health than this is your opportunity to express good health. Start throwing away the ding dongs and cheetos and start buying apples and bananas. Pour the beer down the drain and start drinking water and green tea. Get off the couch and take a walk. But above all else, realize that Spirit is your health. Every cell, every atom, every strand of your being is made in the Image and Likeness of Perfect Health. Your body wants to renew Itself right now. It's not your body that is to blame, it's what you're telling yourself, it's what you are believing. Say to yourself now, "I am healthy. My body is vibrant and alive. I feel good. I now decide to express health and vibrancy each and every day." Say this to yourself morning, noon, and night. Talk about wealth. talk about vibrancy. Keep your conversation in "Heaven".
Maybe you feel poor and like an abject failure. Hey, I've been there...I really have. But now is the accepted time to realize that today is another day and you do not have to believe what you used to believe about yourself. Say to yourself...better yet go look in a mirror and say to yourself, "I am an abundant child of the universe. I am open now to new possibilities, to Divine opportunities, to experiences and situations that empower me, bless me, and prosper me." God did not create anyone poor or miserable. We are here to live the abundant life. we are here to be successful and fulfilled.
Okay, your last relationship soured. Just like the one before that and the one before that. It means nothing. It only means that you need to create a better relationship with yourself first. You need to be the person you wish to attract. Be kind, be forgiving, be loving, be peaceful. Yeah, you might attract a few crudballs into your life, but don't fall for them. Ask your heart/your soul what is for your Highest and Best and here's a tip, LISTEN! We all have the power of intuition but most of us, if not all of us, refuse to believe it. Start making the realization that you deserve only the very best and you do! This is precisely why you are going to be the very best for nobody else but you!
Spiritual Growth is about making daily changes and minor shifts in your perception. Spiritual Growth is exponential. You will be amazed at how much progress you can make in as little as 21 days if you just keep at it. Be forgiving, be merciful, be gentle with yourself. Feed yourself with books that empower you. Remember, you are not insulting God by wanting to be your very best, you are, in Truth, honoring that Spirit that created you out of Itself.
Get this book, apply its magnificent ideas, and flourish! You are the Light, the Love, and the Life of God and you are here to be, do, and have an abundance of everything that is good.
Your life is a blessing and you are blessed even now.
Peace & Love.
