Meditations on the Rosary

Meditations on the Rosary intersects the areas of psychology and spirituality. It takes the reader through the mysteries of the rosary, using over fifty passages of scripture, five psalms, twenty illustrations, and twenty guided-imagery scripts. The scripts are designed to be interchangeable, using four basic inductions, twenty distinct bodies focused on the mysteries, and one closing for all. The book can be read alone for personal inspiration or used for leading Christian groups or retreats. It is also ideal for pastoral counselors, coaches, or mental health professionals. By using sensory awareness, the guided imagery brings the reader or listener right into the context of the actual events in Christs life, creating direct interaction with the characters involved. These exercises can foster psycho-spiritual growth, initiate insight and personal development, inspire through revelation, and/or aid in creating desired positive change in the person. Included is a chapter on the history of the rosary and a brief review of basic forms of meditation. Also included are twenty biblical illustrations by the nineteenth-century illustrator Paul Gustave Dore.
