ART & SOUL: Poems, Prayers and Paintings for the Spiritual Journey
Art & Soul is a collection of affirmative prayers, spiritual poetry and inspired artwork that emerged out of deep silence.. It reveals spiritual truths that have the power to uplift, transform and heal. The works in the book were completed while in a state of profound stillness after deep and prolonged meditation. The prayers, each accompanied by an original and expressive image, can open you to greater possibilities within yourself. Each addresses a specific need or potential outcome, making it a powerful resource for those seeking antidotes to the pressures of daily life or who simply seek greater spiritual realization. Taken together, the poetry and artwork impart a glimpse into that which cannot be named or explained and so help to break through the limitations of our rational minds to penetrate the mystery and beauty that is always and forever behind this material world. The book can be experienced by one of any faith—anyone seeking greater depth and peace—a gateway to what lies within and beyond. To see artwork from the book, go to the Gallery page. .

EXCERPT FROM ART & SOUL
Support
The universe with all its splendor and diversity is simply the body of God, the One expressing itself as multiplicity.. I am a drop of intelligence in the ocean of Consciousness. I separate temporarily to experience the excitement and thrill of riding the wave, of pretending to be something other than my true Self. Why? For the joy of rediscovering who and what I really am. Divinity hides itself from itself so that it can experience something new and then return home again.. Connecting my individual mind with Divine Mind wires me into the true source of power, the subtle creative realms where my life is truly shaped.. I find the center, the balance point and effortlessly glide on the Divine currents, knowing I am sustained and supported always..

In these pages, Sandy Leader shares a series of profound and creative meditations, both visual and in words. Each of them can open up an expanded state for you and deepen your experience of your subtle Self.
--Sally Kempton, author of “Meditation for the Love of It” and “Awakening Shakti”
I am delighted to have, in print, a book of Sandy Leader’s poems, prayers, and paintings. I have had the privilege of receiving Spiritual Mind Treatments from her for years and to now have all of this inspiration in one package truly pleases my heart. This is a work of grace and presence that invites us to slow down and walk into the silence. It leads us into experiences with the sacred, where we can enter into our connection with the Divine. Consider it a handbook to accompany you on your spiritual adventure.
--Sharlyn Hidalgo, author of “The Healing Power of Trees” and “Nazmy – Love is My Religion: Egypt, Travel, and a Quest for Peace”
Sandy Leader has accomplished a beautiful melding of imagery and spiritual truth in this volume, which will open the inner eye. On opposing pages, she presents a divine idea in poetry or prose accompanied by a painting of the energy of that idea as it expressed itself through her. It is a treat for both left brain and right brain and allows an integration of both into an experience unlike anything I’ve seen in print. Bravo!"
