How can a blessing change the world? Making the conscious choice to bless every person or being in our lives, rather than lashing out or feeling self-pity, can make a world of difference. Blessing not only offers a renewed perspective, but also has the power to generate tangible benefits throughout your life. In Pierre Pradevand's The Gentle Art of Blessing, readers develop a down-to-earth approach to applied spirituality, a deep and lasting calm, tools to ground their spiritual practice in everyday life, and methods to explore the power of positive expectations and unconditional love.
