- CD Includes 20 Guided Body Prayers in Aramaic
Product Description
Aramaic—the language of Jesus and his disciples—has captured the imagination of seekers from every faith and spiritual tradition. Since the publication of his bestseller Prayers of the Cosmos, Aramaic scholar Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz has become a foremost expert at uncovering the rich layers of meaning found in Jesus' native wisdom sayings. Now, in Blessings of the Cosmos, this renowned author presents a collection of all-new translations of Jesus' best-loved benedictions and invocations for peace, healing, divine connection, and more including:
• "Come unto me, all ye that labor"—blessings to renew and re-dedicate your life's sacred vocation
• "Ask, and it shall be given you"—discovering your origin in the source of Love itself
• Jesus' parting words to the disciples, from the blessing of "greater works" to the "many mansions" teaching to the great commandment on love, and more
• Jesus' Beatitudes in Luke: blessings for our inner being
• Plus an 80-minute CD with 20 guided Aramaic "body prayers"—similar to the traditional Middle Eastern practices that Jesus himself used to generate spiritual energy and insight
Whether for personal inspiration or use in communal worship and rites of passage, Blessings of the Cosmos offers you a heart-opening prayerbook that will guide you toward an ever deepening, daily experience of the divine.

Reviewer: Sue Ellen Wolcott from , Not available
Reading this book, and working with it, is like breathing in deeply out in my garden at twilight, when the flowers and leaves and soil are giving off the perfume they've been growing all day in the sun. Breathing in peace, breathing out conflict, quandries, decisions, worries, burdens.
I first studied with Saadi Neil Douglas-Klotz over a decade ago, and was astonished to find that there were actually other people besides me who worked deeply with the words we use so cavalierly most of the time. "Blessings of the Cosmos" follows in the tradition of "Prayers of the Cosmos" and "Desert Wisdom" (both also by Dr. Douglas-Klotz) in being a gentle, peaceful offering of the author's work with these words and phrases, which becomes soil in which my own spirituality may be planted, and grow, and flower. Neil Douglas-Klotz makes offerings, not fiats or pronouncements; he offers another way to look at words and phrases which, for many of us, have rather rigid interpretations that have been given to us, and repeated so often, that they are so familiar they might be the wall-paper in the hallway. As we read, and as we allow these offerings to wander around inside us, we may pick up the offering "as is" and use it, or we may find that this offering has stimulated the growth of something new, and completely personal to us, opening a door through which we may step into a more expansive relationship with all facets of the cosmos.
