Journey to the Heart: Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul

Loving this book of daily meditations by Melody Beattie. It is a bit of a floppy paperback, so not sure how well it will hold up over time, but I take good care of my books, so I think it depends on how you handle it. The printing, spacing, font and layout are all nice and easy to read. I like that she gives different suggestions on how to use it, either by date or at random. I have been doing it by date, and then choose one at random after meditating on the first one. They are all fairly short, giving you a topic, a write up and a kind of mantra for meditating on. I find this helpful as I develop a daily meditation practice for the first time., and it is definitely aiding in my healing journey. So far, I'm enjoying it very much.

As someone who has been a voracious reader for more than 7 decades of the thousands of books I have read (and wrote reviews on) one of my favorite genres has been self-improvement quote and meditation types of books. This is why when I saw this 374-page soft cover book for a bargain price on Amazon I immediately purchased it. This excellent and educational volume has a self-improvement quote along with a short essay to meditate by for every day (365) of the year. Though there is a lot of repeat advice; nevertheless, the advice is upbeat and positive providing the reader with inspiring and loving meditations. The following is a very small sample of what you will find in this fantastic book: “Love yourself until it is real, the universe is abundant, find healing and magic within yourself, discover the power of meditation, cherish each moment, you are s perfect balance of Yin and Yang, find humor in it, value passion, let your creativity blossom, clear out the clutter, value each moment, and open your heart to Universal love. This book has so many gems of advice that you will find yourself coming back to the ones most meaningful to you. If you love meditation, quote and self-help books, this is one you will want to check out. I loved it. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

Love! It’s a wonderful book for framing, yoga classes and having a nice theme. My students love it. I highly recommend.

I’ve enjoyed this book Daily every year for many years. It is beautifully written and inspired. I start every day with it in my meditation.

Must have book, very inspirational for following your true direction on your journey in life!

Using this book daily! It helps keep me going.

Good read but too much “God” for my taste.

This is a daily must read. It is beautifully written and so relevant. I love how each year as I re-read the daily passage, it resonates with me in a different way. This book has helped me so much. Love it!!

Inspiring

Ich war anfangs etwas skeptisch, weil ich schon viele Bücher gekauft hatte, die meditativ wirken sollten, aber für mich nicht hilfreich waren. Dieses Buch unterscheidet sich von anderen sehr. Es ist zwar Englisch, aber wirklich gut verständlich, auch wenn man nicht perfekt englisch beherrscht. Es ist für jeden Tag im Jahr ein Abschnitt vorhanden, der täglich gelesen werden kann. Es ist mittlerweile zu meiner täglichen Routine geworden, morgens zu meinem Kaffee meine „Daily Meditation“ zu lesen. Es regt immer wieder zum nachdenken an und tut der Seele gut.

A beautiful book that my acupuncturist uses after a session. I love it so much that I bought my own. The first one arrived with cuts and tears out of it and of course Amazon returns for Ireland are SO difficult that you have to pay for it yourself, they claim to offer money back - until you try and then they don't answer emails. So the quality could be better, I got a better second version. Fabulous meditations for those days when you need inspiration (all the time) and for days when you don't feel like doing oracle cards. Highly recommended.

This is a fun reference to open each day to help us on our journey. I don’t use it following the calendar even though there is an inspiration for each day of the year. I prefer to open it up randomly and let the spirits talk to me. A lovely book which would also make a great gift for anyone searching for something on the spiritual side.
