The Golden Path Series

The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society. This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view. Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth to you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, and to our relation to this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we discard or transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment. I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.

In this book, I am presenting the practice of meditation in simple words, so that anyone can understand it, and start practicing it. This book is created especially for beginner practitioners who want to pursue the practice of meditation and want to know how to start and how to practice it. Inside the book, there are 13 chapters, describing the process of meditation and general meditation instructions. All throughout the book, I'm guiding you through this process of Shamatha meditation (which translates to Calm-Abiding), to make sure nothing will stand in the way of your successful practice.

In this rather extensive collection of Japanese 3-line haiku poems, the mystical blends with the simplicity of the world to create sacred, transparent, and yet profound and inspiring insights, to guide you further, on your spiritual path. Reading and contemplating these poems will sustain your mindfulness and you will be inspired to meditate more, in your daily routine. The book is organized in 29 chapters, all related to virtues and spiritual aspects. I have covered most of the topics that a seasoned spiritual practitioner or even a beginner one would need for his meditative and contemplative practice and I am sure that any practitioner will find plenty of poems that he can resonate with, in this book. May all these poems that I wrote with much love, guide your heart on the path of beauty and simplicity. Namaste

Throughout our lives, we all experience a gradual and slow process of Awakening. Those of us seeking the spiritual aspects of life are using centuries-old practices of accelerating this process, be it by using meditation, yoga, silent prayer, devotion, contemplation, reciting mantras or mostly by just keeping mindful during their day. By being more mindful and centered every day, we become more compassionate, develop gratitude for what we have and manifest a clearer perception of our world, both in the spiritual dimension and as well in the casual and mundane one. Thus, we start to love more, give and receive more, appreciate things more and live a balanced, happier and abundant life. I wrote these reflections with carefulness to encompass most of the spiritual aspects that are present on a spiritual path and with the hope that these pieces of wisdom will create that much-needed space where your soul can finally feel the freedom that it is meant to experience here, on Earth, during this life.

Positive affirmations and mantras are the key to a steady and upgoing spiritual life. They are a crucial aspect of our daily practice and easily complement a steady meditation practice, yoga practice, or prayer practice. Positive affirmations can be used by any person, no matter if he is spiritual or not. They work by rewiring our brains with the positive message that they hold. Mantras, on the other hand, are short phrases that can be repeated in our minds, so we can clean our psyche of misconceptions and behavioral patterns that keep us stuck in our lives. Mantras are a great practice tool for both the spiritual practitioner and the simple person alike. In this book, you can choose from the 70 positive affirmations and 70 mantras that I have created myself, that address particular parts of your life such as relationships, materialization, health, positivity, money, success, and so on. I hope this book will benefit you and transform your life into what you wish it could be. Namaste

"Everyday spiritual wisdom" is a collection of 219 wisdom quotes and phrases for you to read, understand, think about and contemplate. Each phrase has an additional explanation so you can see that phrase from another point of view. I created this collection out of the inspiration that I got on my spiritual path so I can share them with you, my beloved reader. Namaste

Prayer is one of the most ancient forms of connecting to the Divine. Alongside meditation, prayer has been used consistently throughout time, to sustain a spiritual life, cleanse our souls of the burdens of our sins and wrongdoings, heal, bring peace, maintain a healthy spiritual life, and most of all, connect to the Divine Aspect, which God ultimately represents. "64 Orthodox Christian Prayers" is a collection of old Romanian orthodox prayers, translated into English so that more people can benefit from the wisdom of the oldest Christian faith, which spans no more than 2000 years. This collection of prayers is intended for any Christian practitioner, as there is no absolute separation between faiths, be it Orthodox or Catholic, so anyone could recite their prayers, as they connect you to the same Divine Figure, our Holy Father, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit. By repeating a prayer that you feel drawn to multiple times, you will find in the time a sacred and serene silence between the rows of that prayer, that will guide you towards finding your soul again and again.

I have started the practice of acceptance more as a necessity than a spiritual pursuit. I was in a situation where I really needed to change my life and the things around me, and I understood that only the practice of acceptance can get me out of my situation. As days and months passed by, I noted different passages from what I understood and after 2 years I compiled out of them the book that you are presently reading. There is not much to say about acceptance, so the book is not lengthy but rather compressed as information, but I made sure that I have explained every detail of the process I underwent. As a bonus, or better said as a surprise that happened in my practice of acceptance, I discovered that by practicing it, the heart opens so that you can see the world in its pure and pristine quality. Therefore, I also adapted the title to include it, naming it instead of "The Path Of Acceptance" to "The Heart of Acceptance". There is a lot written in this book about the open heart of acceptance, and I even dedicated a full chapter to it. I hope you will enjoy my book and gain the courage and attitude to practice it yourself. Namaste.
