One hundred and eight well-known spiritual leaders respond to the question, 'How do you pray?'
As we evolve, so do our prayers; as our prayers evolve, so do we.
This is the evolution of illumination, the collective voice of the soul of the world. How Do You Pray? was born from a vision in which Celeste Yacoboni was told to ask the world, 'How Do You Pray?' She reached out to leading spiritual, shamanic, scientific teachers, guides, and activists and asked for their response. Culled from those responses is an original and deeply personal collection of essays. Talking intimately and candidly about how they pray, these personalities encourage the reader to contemplate the intention of prayer in their own life.
This collection speaks to the reader's heart and asks: what is your soul's expression? How do you dance in ecstasy, bare your soul to the divine? Bow in gratitude? Merge with nature? Cry out for guidance? How do you pray? This groundbreaking and moving book gathers responses from leaders of diverse spiritual and religious traditions ranging from Buddhism to Islam to Christianity, as well as those who do not claim one or any particular walk of faith.
Contributors include Brother David Steindl-Rast, Matthew Fox, James O'Dea, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Tessa Bielecki, Lama Surya Das, Hank Wesselman, Father Bede Griffiths, Byron Katie, Joan Halifax, Normandi Ellis, Andrew Harvey, Dan Millman, Kristena Prater, Nicki Scully, Mirabai Starr, and more. This book is a beautiful gift package with matte laminate cover and red ribbon.

Celeste Yacoboni is a Minister of Walking Prayer, ordained by
the Center for Sacred Studies in Sonora, California. Her work
focuses on guiding and supporting people through transitions by
creating a space of awareness, presence and inspiration which
integrates body, mind, spirit and emotions. She maintains a
thriving private practice in Santa Fe, NM in which she facilitates
healing and wholeness through Massage Therapy, Chi Nei Tsang,
Qigong, Women's Breast Health, Plant Essences, the Hawaiian
practice of Ho'oponopono, and the inquiry "How Do You Pray?"
Celeste leads "How Do You Pray?" workshops in which people share
and experience different ways of prayer and connecting to Source.
On her Ho'oponopono CD, Celeste sings a Hawaiian healing practice
which creates a space of love, compassion, forgiveness and
gratitude. Celeste lives in New Mexico.
"If you want to learn how to be more creative, study Leonardo da
Vinci or Thomas Edison. If you'd like to improve your cooking
skill, watch Michael Symon or Cat Cora on "Iron Chef." And if you
want to enrich your inner life, immerse yourself in the beautiful
examples of prayer from spiritual teachers, visionaries and thought
leaders in this exquisite volume. How Do You Pray? offers
creative inspiration and rich nourishment for all
seekers."--Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da
Vinci and Innovate Like Edison
"This is a book that many will be putting into their pockets and
carrying with them to inspire them on a daily basis. This is a book
that not only inspires, but reminds us of the inner connection that
powers this world of reality. Celeste Yacoboni has planted a seed
to awaken our memory! Let our hearts unify as we celebrate our
diversity and the spiritual nature we walk with."--Jyoti, Spiritual
Director for the Center for Sacred Studies and Ambassador to the
International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers
"Each humble seeker will discern the language of prayer, the
language of the heart, in his or her own way, guided by the Love
that interpenetrates all existence. Nonetheless, we are richly fed
and inspired by the words and witness of others in their
explorations and practice within this mysterious
and ultimately ordinary domain. In this feast of a book, Celeste
Yacoboni presents us with dozens of invitations to stop, to listen,
to let go, to wonder, to shout in praise, to cry with longing. Here
is a gift for all lovers of God, whatsoever Name is assigned to
that One."--Regina Sara Ryan, author of Praying Dangerously and
Igniting the Inner Life
"Celeste’s book is not just entertaining, or interesting, or
inspiring. It’s positively revolutionary."--Arjuna Ardagh, author
of The Translucent Revolution
"The book exudes sacredness."-- Jamal Rahman, author of Spiritual
Gems of Islam: Insights & Practices from the Qur'an, Hadith, Rumi &
Muslim Teaching Stories to Enlighten the Heart & Mind
