Imagine waking up every morning with the unwavering certainty that the day ahead holds all you need, flowing effortlessly into your life. Picture yourself placing full trust in the abundant wellspring of Life as your source of all. How liberating would it be to face each new day this way? It's worth experimenting with.

This state of mind, dear souls, is your natural birthright. Confidence is woven into the very fabric of your being. It is only when we allow our vision to be clouded that fear and panic find their way into our hearts, robbing us of joy.

Let me remind you of this timeless truth - You live in Life. You are immersed in the same power that birthed the universe. This force seeks to express all the goodness it holds within you. There is no malevolence lurking in the vast expanse of existence; only an infinite desire to grow, express, and evolve.

Once you rekindle your trust in this sacred truth, worries and anxieties diminish like mist in the morning sun. Feelings of inadequacy and dissipate, and your life will undergo a profound transformation.

Application Exercise: To cultivate the spirit of trust and abundance within, start each day with a simple affirmation: "I live in Life, surrounded by its infinite blessings." Take a moment to visualize yourself immersed in a sea of boundless opportunities and unwavering support.

Throughout the day, whenever feelings of worry or fear arise, pause and repeat the affirmation: "I trust in the abundant flow of Life." Feel the sense of peace and assurance that these words bring to your heart.

As you practice this daily exercise, observe how your perspective shifts, and how life unfolds with newfound ease. Trust in Life's benevolence, and watch as doors open to opportunities beyond your wildest dreams.

Embrace the abundance that dwells within you, and let your life be a symphony of trust and peaceful assurance.

With boundless trust in Life's embrace,

Edward Viljoen

Bhagavad-Gita For Beginners

The Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God Retold in Simplified English is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library. This unique edition of the timeless epic is designed to be accessible for readers without any prior experience of Hinduism. Not merely a translation of the original, Viljoen has simplified and restated the Gita’s complex ideas, so that a first-time reader can fully appreciate the scope and beauty of this magnificent Indian classic. Written in concise, modern language, the retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work.

The Power of Meditation

“Edward Viljoen’s new book, The Power of Meditation, is a gift. It serves as a practical guidebook for those who are new at spiritual practice, as well as a beautiful reminder of simplicity and essence for those who have been engaged in spiritual practice for a lifetime. Edward helps us find the strength we need to be present with whatever life brings. He takes the reader by the hand, dispels the mysteries, and makes this elusive thing called meditation very real and doable.” —Alan Seal, author of Create a World That Works

Reviews

“While goodness, kindness, compassion, and faith might seem like ordinary concepts, when it comes to actually living them in the face of life’s daily challenges, it’s easy to get stuck. Edward Viljoen has given us a gentle, illuminating, compassionate guidebook to living from the goodness that lies at the heart of who we really are.”
—Alan Seale, founder of the Center for Transformational Presence, and author of Create A World That Works and Intuitive Living

“Ordinary Goodness reminds me I can see goodness and kindness every day. Edward reminds all of us, that despite our failings, we really can be both good and kind. Brew a cup of tea and curl up with this insightful and achingly beautiful account of the mystery, paradox, and wonder of your life. You’ll be glad you did!”
—Petra Weldes, author of Joyous Living Journal

“If kindness were a country, Ordinary Goodness would be its travel guide. In this book, Edward Viljoen delves into a perfectly ordinary yet arguably neglected virtue—kindness—and reveals its source, its rewards, and a well-defined approach for integrating kindness into your very bones. Combining his personal history with his decades of experience as a minister, Viljoen is eminently qualified to teach us that the ordinariness of kindness may actually be the most dazzling quality we might possess.”
—Randall Friesen, publisher of Newt List Books

Edward Viljoen was a recent guest to my radio show, "In The Spirit." I had read his book, "Ordinary Goodness" and was happy to talk with him about it. I like the way he inserts stories from his own life to illustrate various points. In this cynical age, this book is a tonic a guide to live a good life by being good to others. We cannot be truly happy until we do. Thank you, Edward for bringing a much needed topic to our attention.

—Gary Goldberg, host of In The Spirit
