It consists of a series of spiritual exercises for entering the contemplative state -- blending psychology, spiritual therapy, and practices from both Eastern and Western traditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony de Mello offers here an unparalleled approach to inner peace that brings the \u003ci\u003ewhole\u003c\/i\u003e person to prayer -- body and soul, heart and mind, memory and imagination. In forty-seven exercises that teach things such as awareness of physical sensations, stillness, healing of hurtful memories, and consciousness of self and world, de Mello succeeds in helping all who have ever experienced prayer as difficult, dull, or frustrating. The essential key, he notes, is to journey beyond mere thought-forms and discover satisfying new depths in prayer \u003ci\u003efrom the heart\u003c\/i\u003e. This allows for a greater sense of awareness amid silence, and disposes the one who prays to untold riches, spiritual fulfillment, and ultimately, a mystical experience of God-centeredness. Drawing on Scripture, as well as insights from Eastern and Western spiritual masters, the author has a unique appeal that transcends time, culture, and religious background. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor many years a bestseller in the English language, \u003ci\u003eSadhana\u003c\/i\u003e has now been translated into more than two dozen foreign languages.
