'When I first read this book a soft warm cloud of peace fell over me. It took my knowing about the wonder and healing power of blessing to a deeper level and prompted me to use blessings all the time. I found I had often sent blessings mechanically but this book reminded me to passionately and wholeheartedly see the person I was blessing enjoying everything they could possibly wish for themselves or I could wish for myself. Now I picture them laughing, happy, healthy, surrounded by love and abundance. Pierre Pradervand offers an amazing tool for happiness and inner peace for in blessing someone who has injured you, you are the recipient! Blessing invokes the Law of Grace so that wondrous things happen when you bestow this unconditional energy on others. I met Pierre at the Cygnus 15th birthday celebration and he radiated an aura of benevolence and harmlessness.' Diana Cooper

Mystics tell us that behind the veil of material appearances exists an infinite, unconditionally loving principle of benevolence, abundance and peace. Would you like to develop your own awareness of that? An awareness so vivid, so unwavering that you can no longer mistake the veil for the reality? An awareness so penetrating that the laws of Love, with their transforming, healing power, are admitted even into the darkest hell?This, and no less, is the aim of The Gentle Art of Blessing, described so eloquently by Pierre Pradervand. 'To bless,' says Pierre, 'means to wish, unconditionally and from the deepest chamber of your heart, unrestricted good for others and events. To bless is to acknowledge the omnipresent, universal beauty hidden from material eyes; it is to activate that law of attraction which, from the furthest reaches of the universe, will bring into your life exactly what you need to experience and enjoy.' You will find that The Gentle Art of Blessing is the perfect way to develop an awareness constantly centred in love. When you bless all those you meet in their total happiness and true integrity, without the slightest concern for their appearance, expression, race, class, gender, or any other label, when you wish them the very best from your innermost being, it will be impossible for your heart not to expand. From a narrow cubicle, it will become a temple without walls.
