larger culture’s formative role in our individual suffering,
we can learn to experience the power and intelligence of our
feelings. We can also learn to transform conflict into a catalyst
for building sustainable relationships and begin to accept our
greatest difficulties as our strongest allies.
The Art of True Healing: The Unlimited Power of Prayer
and Visualization by Israel Regardie, edited by Marc Allen.
(New World Library, $12.95, Paperback.)
The Art of True Healing details a powerful exercise that
stimulates the body, mind, and spirit in creating physical
health and personal success. Predating by over seventy years
the current interest in the mind’s power to heal, this concise
work guides us through what Dr. Regardie calls the Middle
Pillar meditation—a technique that combines the mystical
concepts of yoga’s chakras and the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life to
create a simple and effective healing
tool.
“The first step toward freedom
and health is a conscious realization
of the vast reservoir of energy in
which we live and move and have our
being,” writes Regardie. “When we
reflect on this repeatedly, and make
repeated mental efforts to make this
part and parcel of our outlook upon
life, part of the hard, inflexible shell of
the mind beaks down and dissolves.
Then, inevitably, life and spirit pour
abundantly through us. Health spontaneously arises, and a
new life begins as our point of view undergoes this radical
change.”
Like few books before or since, The Art of True Healing
provides both the theory and practices necessary for wellbeing
and fulfillment. In this new edition, Mark Allen, cofounder of
New World Library, brings Regardie’s work into the twentyfirst
century—showing us how to unleash energy to create
physical healing and, ultimately, healing in every part of our
lives. He urges us all to try these exercises as this form of
meditation definitely contributed to his health, success in the
world, and ability to help others.
The Two Truths About Love: The Art and Wisdom of
Extraordinary Relationships by Jason B. Fischer, MA, LPC.
(New Harbinger, $16.95, Paperback.)
Some relationships last, others
fall apart, and still others seem to
thrive and grow as the years go
on. The Two Truths About Love is
a guide to creating this third type
of relationship—an extraordinary
partnership wherein each partner feels
fully accepted and loved as they are.
Designed over the course of thousands
of hours conducting face-to-face
counseling sessions with clients,
psychotherapist and former Buddhist monk Jason Fischer’s
unique approach has already improved the lives of countless
individuals and couples.
The two secrets to creating extraordinary relationships are
simple: partners must give permission for the other person
to be who they truly are, and take responsibility for their
own reactions, behaviors, assumptions, and expectations
of their partner and the relationship. This book gives us the
tools to start giving permission and taking responsibility in
our own relationships and offers strategies for letting go of
dissatisfaction and habitual conflicts. In short, accessible
chapters, we learn how to put these seemingly simple rules
into practice to regain balance and peace in our partnerships.
Answering the Contemplative Call: First Steps on the
Mystical Path by Carl McColman. (Hampton Roads, $16.95,
Paperback.)
The mystical path is not some sort of static experience for
the select few, says Carl McColman,
rather, it is a living tradition, a rich
and many-layered dimension of
spirituality that is in large measure a
quest to find the mysteries at the heart
of the universe, paradoxically nestled
within the heart of your own soul.
McColman first introduced readers
to Christianity’s lost mystical roots
in his popular book, The Big Book of
Christian Mysticism. Now he is back
with Answering the Contemplative
Call to show us how to apply the
riches of the mystical tradition to daily living.

the Call” explores how each one of us is called to the
mystical life, and what that might look like. “Preparing for
the Journey” shows what we need to do in response to the
contemplative call. And “Embarking on the Adventure”
considers what those first steps on the path might look like.
Throughout the book, McColman includes quotes from the
great mystics of the Christian tradition who have also traveled
this path, including Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, Evelyn
Underhill, and more.
