Book excerpt: The practice of the rosary in various faiths is thoroughly covered in this stunning book and its accompanying DVD. For background, the commentary explains that the word "bead" has an interfaith origin: it comes from both the Sanskrit "Buddh," which refers to self-realization (the Buddha is the "Enlightened One"); and it also derives from the Saxon verb "bidden," meaning to pray. The rosaries pictured are made from such materials as rose petals, chunks of Tibetan amber, exquisitely carved Italian coral, and silken Turkish tassels. One simple mantra or prayer for each faith is also presented, as is a prize-winning DVD that takes the viewer into various world cultures where the recitation and method can be heard and seen.

Download or read book A String and a Prayer written by Eleanor Wiley and published by Red Wheel. This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleanor Wiley and Maggie Oman Shannon have taken an ancient practice and made it new. A String and a Prayer recounts the history and symbolism of prayer beads, teaches basic techniques for stringing beads and a host of other objects into prayer beads, and offers a variety of prayers and rituals to use those beads on a daily basis. Beads have appeared throughout history. Prayer beads are used in the spiritual practices of cultures as diverse as the African Masai, Native Americans, Greek and Russian Orthodoxy, as well as the religious rituals of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism. But prayer is highly personal. By infusing prayer beads with personal associations, we can keep our spirituality fresh. The beads are a device to help build and rebuild meaningful ritual in our lives. With myriad ideas about what makes objects sacred and where to find sacred objects -- from the personal, perhaps beads from a grandmother's broken rosary, to the unusual, maybe seashells from far away found in a thrift store -- A String and a Prayer offers many suggestions for different ways that beads can be made and used, exploring the creative roles they can play in our relationships, ceremonies, and rituals. "You are the expert, trust yourself. Let the instructions be a guide to your own creativity," write the authors.

Book Synopsis Praying with Beads by : Nan Lewis Doerr
Download or read book Praying with Beads written by Nan Lewis Doerr and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is essential to the Christian life, bonding us to God. Yet we find it difficult in our frenetic world to keep our minds focused for long. All kinds of external noise and inner voices clamor for our attention. How can we slow down and quiet down so as to truly wait on the Lord? Nan Lewis Doerr and Virginia Stem Owens offer a solution that calls on the physical senses to break through to the spiritual -- praying with beads. The use of prayer beads, which has a long history in practical spirituality, is now becoming more widespread among Protestants. Doerr and Owens here show readers how to use what have become known as Anglican or Christian prayer beads. Readers can then use the basic prayer structure provided by the beads to pray their way through each day -- morning, noon, and night -- and through the church year. These prayers -- a thoughtfully chosen combination of quotations from Scripture and gleanings from the Book of Common Prayer -- can be enhanced and enriched by the mindful and meditative practice of using beads. Doerr and Owens encourage readers to use beads as "something to hang onto, a lifeline to the Presence that lies, often hidden or forgotten, at the center of our lives." Praying with beads, as outlined and embodied in this little book, has the potential to transform one's prayer life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing from trauma begins with the courageous act of telling your story. Yet many survivors of trauma are afraid to tell anyone about their deeply painful and personal experience(s). Trauma survivors often feel shame, guilt, fear, and anger. They may also carry deep spiritual wounds, such as feeling abandoned or punished by God. They may wonder how they can ever trust God. In Beads of Healing, Kristen Vincent shares her story of childhood trauma and how she eventually found God’s peace, healing, and wholeness. She tells how, over 35 years after the trauma, she encountered God as never before in the presence of a Christian community. In this setting where she felt safe and loved, and through the help of spiritual practices like scripture reading, prayer, group sharing, and reflection, she finally found the peace she had been seeking since age 7. Vincent models how to name feelings of grief, anger, abandonment, shame, and fear. She gives readers ideas for ways to use prayer beads as a safe way to enter conversations with God, to talk honestly with their Creator, and open themselves to God’s love. This powerful story of one woman’s journey to spiritual healing offers hope for all trauma survivors, as well as those who have experienced loss, hurt, or other spiritual wounds. Each chapter includes a scripture passage that supports the chapter theme truth-telling (the author talks about the chapter theme from her perspective) reflection questions a prayer bead experience a listening focus (a line to repeat with your prayer beads) an opportunity to check in with yourself before moving forward NOTE: The author recommends that readers study this book with someone: a therapist, pastor, spiritual director, or support group. Beads of Healing features a Leader’s Guide with an outline for 16 sessions, links to instructions for making prayer beads, and a guide to using prayer beads.

Book Synopsis The Art of Making Beads of Faith with Reference to Buddhism, Christianity and Islam by : Clara Elizabeth Tan
Download or read book The Art of Making Beads of Faith with Reference to Buddhism, Christianity and Islam written by Clara Elizabeth Tan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research has made a comparative study of the art of making beads of different faiths with particular reference to Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. They have been considered within the elements of their history, origins and evolution, the variations in types of materials used and possible symbolic influences of those choices, the usage of additional pendants, the association with a leading figure within each of the religions, colour, the use within chanting and recitation, and the etymology of the words used to describe them within each of the relevant languages. The demographics of the populations who use the rosaries have also been investigated to determine any possible correlations between rosary usage and the economic status of the countries of abode of the devotees. Each religion did not develop the idea of a rosary independently and then implement it as part of their prayer ritual. The preferences for any given design and the various types of materials used are based upon two main parameters, the traditions of the particular religion, and the societal cultures that often predate those religious traditions. One of the important goals of this research was to determine where these two factors impacted upon the rosary design within each of the chosen religions. This was then used during the comparative analysis to determine where any possible acculturation may have taken place between the different civilizations, or where prior primitive forms of religious practices display commonalities. During this process the research has also brought to light certain differences within the methodologies of how the different faith systems use natural phenomena as a vehicle for the devotees to understand their own particular faith system better.
