"Meditations to heal
your life" by Louise L Hay.
A short extract:
I love children
and they love me
Open, loving communication with children is one of my greatest
joys. I listen to what they say, and they listen to what I say.
Children always imitate adults. If a child near me is behaving
negatively, I examine my own negative beliefs. I know that as
I heal myself, I will also help to heal the child. I affirm that
I love myself unconditionally. I become consciously willing to
let go of all negative beliefs. I become an example of a positive,
loving person. The child can then begin to love himself or herself,
and their negative behaviour dissolves, sometimes immediately,
sometimes gradually.

The little book of peace
by Susan Jeffers
A short extract:
Growth has its own pace
We live in an instant world
where everything has speeded up beyond our grasp. But we are not
instant people, and that is where much of the confusion lies.
Yes, there are many things that can be done speedily, but when
it comes to spiritual growth, the pace is slow. That's just the
way it is.
