One
hundred in-depth cards, full colour both sides, and contained
in a Japenese silk bag.
Each card explains its virtue in detail, also giving a quote,
'signs of success' and an affirmation. The cards are excellent
for personal spiritual growth - pick a card each day ...
They also provide a much valued activity in a group situation
for adults and youth. A great resource for teachers, healers,
therapists - and for the office!

The
virtues cards have been such a success that several different
sets have been developed to suit people of specific ages,
or in various situations. We feature just some in this site.

- the book
Linda
Kavelin Popov
|
In
today's fast-paced world, we are burning out. How did
we reach this point? How can we reclaim our lives? Linda
Kavelin Popov asked herself the same questions after
the pressures of her own workaholic lifestyle nearly
destroyed her. Having healed herself she now helps others
achieve a 'pace of grace' - a pace that can balance
and sustain us physically and spiritually.
Through a four-part programme, A Pace of Grace
offers lessons to rediscover the essential elements
of a life well lived. Complete with Linda's ten rules
for health, this guide is the first step in rediscovering
the joy and vibrancy
inherent within each of us.
