The desire to soothe our souls has perhaps never been greater. This collection of lyrical meditations, prayers, contemplations, devotionals and psalms is the spiritual balm we desperately need right now.
​​
Enjoy 111 passages structured around nine metaphorical landscapes, such as forest, plateau, riverbank and mountaintop, guiding the reader over three emotional terrains - confinement, gestation and expansion - on a journey toward peace and transcendence.

We can't help bring about much-needed change in the world if we aren't engaged in some form of self-healing.
What is happening on the global stage is a reflection of what is transpiring within. SACRED LANDSCAPES of the SOUL gently assists in the process by helping us to find the wisdom, wit and wherewithal to embrace our challenges and celebrate our spiritual dynamism.

CALLING IN MAELSTROMS of emotions and heartache, shadow and light, spiritual practitioner Karen Brailsford offers a banquet of meditations and images to awaken, calm, challenge and excite soul, mind, heart and body. Plentiful food for all the hungry—indeed starving—souls in our chaotic world today!

​I WAS SURPRISED BY THIS BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL BOOK, which I will from now on keep by my side for comfort and inspiration. As a long time Buddhist, terms like "God" and "soul" are not so usual, but Karen's use of them in harmony with sayings of great mystics, West and East, gives them new life. And it is especially her eloquent affirmations of the divine as the life force and love force within oneself and every being that resonate with the buddha essence and the diamond clearlight of freedom that sustains our infinite lives. Enjoy this daring book of affirmations—once you get over worrying about feeling way better about yourself, you will find yourself happy at home in it!
