Invoking Angels: For Blessings, Protection, and Healing [With CD Audio]

The book arrived in a timely manner, was in the shape discribed. Will use this seller again.

Master kabbalist, scholar and story teller, Rabbi David A. Cooper, has produces a complete programme of daily meditations and prayers to help readers to connect to their angels and find self empowerment. This alternative view into the world of angels, ancient history and sacred text, includes an 1 hour CD with guided meditations and prayers to assist you on your journey of discovery and increased awareness. If you have ever felt there was more to this life than what the eye can see, and what society expects us to believe, and deja vu, coincidences are messages sent to those who can read them from a higher force, then this book is for you. You do not have to be a believer of any faith, although you are taken back to ancient teachings of the Torah, the Bible, and other sacred texts purely to assist you in understanding how it all came about. Admittedly, you can't pass a high street shop these days without seeing some sort of angel for sale, so there is no denying these divine creatures do capture our hearts and imagination, and this book is intended to compliment these beliefs via meditation and prayer, although not necessarily expecting you to think of angels as creatures with wings. The CD includes: An Archangel meditation for open-heartedness and courage A Guardian Angel meditation for protection in any situation A meditation on the Divine Presence (the Shekhina), invoking the "supreme" angels, Metatron and Sandalphon, to experience profound awareness and sufficiency. I found it rather exciting, the idea of invoking angels for guidance is very appealing for me, however, it must be said there is no quick fix and information like this can increase your awareness of angels, and the energies they represent to open you to new possibilities over a period of time.

This book looks at the process of invoking angels, bringing about blessings and guidance from the Divine at any time. Through a Jewish perspective, the author uses sacred texts to show how to connect with a broad number of angels to access their divine characteristics. The ultimate goal is to reach a new level of consciousness where the reader can experience the presence of the Divine in nearly every encounter. Since there are a nearly infinite number of angels, the author concentrates on some of the "major" angels, including Sandalphon and Metatron, the Angel of Death and Archangels Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. The CD that accompanies this book includes a number of guided meditations that get into How To Do It. I must be the wrong person to review religion/spirituality books like this (maybe I am not spiritual enough), because this is not the first such book that I have had a hard time "getting." Absolutely no disrespect is meant toward the book or the author. I am sure that this book has helped, and will help, a lot of people. Perhaps some of us are meant to stay on the outside, looking in.

You wouldn't think a title on angels would also come from a Rabbi scholar, but the teachings of the Torah and other sacred texts do support the presence of angels in Jewish belief, and the inspirational INVOKING ANGELS provides a program of daily meditations and prayers to help both Jewish and non-Jewish people in their efforts to connect spirituality with empowerment. Spiritual collections will find the book/cd combination a popular read, using the skills of a kabbalist and storyteller to bring to life daily meditations on cd, from an Archangel mediation for courage to a Guardian Angel one for protection. Biblical insights and support throughout make for a fine survey. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
