The Lord's Prayer, the Seven Chakras, the Twelve Paths -

Book excerpt: Dana Williams made a remarkable discovery: the individual phrases of the Lord's Prayer fit perfectly into the 7 chakras and the 12 archetypal paths of life. Out of this discovery developed a unique prayer-meditation. Williams writes, "Each phrase of the Lord's Prayer fits into a chakra like a key into a lock. By reciting each phrase within its chakra, we create an impulse or evocation that brings us into harmony with Spirit's intention for our growth. The Lord's Prayer prayer-meditation begins at the highest chakra of pure Christ Consciousness. This highest energetic quality descends into the lower chakras as we continue with the prayer. This brings the impulse of spirituality into all the charkas, clearing and transforming the patterns of ego that block the impulse of Spirit in our life. If you start a practice when you are young and keep it up over many years, even if you periodically neglect it, the practice will grow, change and deepen. After 35 years, I now have much to share about this special visualization and prayer-meditation that I believe spans the arch of eastern and western religion. For whom is this book written? For all who are interested in the correlations and prayer-meditations described here, and who treasure the Christian traditions. If you know how to work sincerely with prayer, this meditation should have an immediate effect. The purpose of this book is to open the door to this experience."
