'Like being whisked away to heavenly realms - accompanied by God!'

As a bit of a novice in meditation I was looking for a suitable book to guide me, and the cover of Leave the Body Behind captivated my immagination. The prologue is very informative and helped to clarify different ways of meditating. The authors own guided meditations become your own, because these 'sojourns' feel like you are being whisked away to heavenly realms - accompanied by God! Overall, I found it motivational and inspiring and beautifully written. A large glossary encompasses a multitude of spiritual terms which is fascinating. I highly recommend this book whether you are a beginner or dedicated practitioner as it's a real joy to behold.

5.0 out of 5 stars My soul has been transported to the most beautiful places thanks to the beautifully crafted texts in this ..
I have been blessed to have read all of David's books so far and I am grateful each day for the connection that I felt from the very first book Pathway. My life has changed beyond recognition and I believe that reading David's books was the catalyst for those changes. Meditation is now a major part of my life and each time I have read a new chapter in this book, my soul has been transported to the most beautiful places thanks to the beautifully crafted texts in this book. I have been able to literally leave my body and the pain I experience within it - both physically and emotionally. I will be buying the physical book because I want to hold this masterpiece in my hands. Thank you, David, for this book that has appeared during a major transitional period in my life once again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A DELIGHTFUL LITTLE BOOK!

This delightful little book is ideal for taking one’s imagination out of the ordinary ... into the extraordinary. The energy with which it has been written has a calming effect on the soul and one cannot help but want to ‘take oneself there’. This is able to be done with great ease due to the purity of channeling from the author and enables Truth to visit the soul from the Highest Source. A peaceful read that takes one on enchanting journeys, leaving one’s Being rested yet, recharged. Highly recommended.

Glossary

Prologue

You are being drawn towards this book for many reasons. And, though a picture may capture your imagination, it is what touches your heart and Soul that is of greater importance. After all, you are the aspirant and seeker of truth, aren’t you?

Around the world, many people practise meditation for a variety of reasons. Some wish to alleviate stress or disease, others to touch upon the peace and bliss within. Methods of meditation vary and include concentrating on a sound or an image, repeating various mantras or even undertaking graceful movements of the body.

Appreciate, each method can help the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies you possess, but only in silence can you experience the ultimate reality of your true self.

So, whether you class yourself as a beginner or as an expert makes no difference; any notions of ego have no place in God’s kingdom of light. Understand, the path to knowing Him is through knowing yourself.

The power of the ‘stillness’ you require begins with a slow breath, followed by another, and then another … until you forget you are breathing at all. Sometimes you will fall asleep, but that is only because some part of you needs the rest. In time, you will learn to release the mind; moreover, the mind will lose its power over your true essence and divinity.

As you sit and become still, peace shall descend on you. The hustle and bustle of the day will soon fade away into a distant memory and you will become calm. Please do not worry about achieving this peace, for the process of clearing clutter from your mind becomes easier with practice. In addition, remove the desperate desire to ‘learn’, as this can sometimes hinder the guidance you are destined to receive.

The sojourns of the Soul are as complex or as simple as you need them to be. Any so-called obstacles and tribulations occur for numerous reasons, one of which is to help you to pause and reflect on who and what you are. These barriers also bring forth the right conditions for your karma and equilibrium; in turn, they assist your growth and inner experience.

In the peace and quietness, do not wish for an easier path, but accept the here and now. Be positive and strong, whatever comes your way. You are not separate from our ‘oneness’; you are part of God, the source and creator. So, you will never have to face these days alone. Remember, He comprehends everything that you think, say and do. No secret can be kept from Him, for He is the eternal witness.

By turning your auto-pilot off, whenever you can, you connect and retain the power to change the way you live. Though your life may contain many twists and turns, countless opportunities will occur, with dreams and choices made available to you from the cradle to the grave. So, do not look back to the past with regret; you cannot change it. Look forward instead.

Our futures are only the results of the seeds we sow in the present. Therefore, cast your thoughts, words and deeds, with care,
