108 ways to uplift, heal and transform the mind
By Jimmy Roos
Cover of 108 messages book
“108 Daily Messages” is the title of a new inspirational book that has just been released. The book contains 108 positive messages which are tailored towards teaching, uplifting and strengthening a person’s mind; because, as the author of the book, R. Janet John-Dorie, remarked, “When the mind is transformed, a person is in a better position to be in control of their senses.” She also says that a person is better able to perform and
act without regret when the mind is transformed. How many of us have made decisions that we regretted afterwards? Ms. John-Dorie, who has been spreading inspiring and enlightening messages since 1986, says she realized the role of the mind in her own life. When her mind was not transformed, she was not in control of her senses, and was thus an unstable person. However, since she transformed her mind, she is more in control of her senses, and is able to take better and wellthought-out decisions. She says she was inspired
to write the book because, when she looks at so many people, she can see her old self in them. And because she knows what it took for her to transform her life, she is offering an easy way for others to also reap the same benefits. So, how does one use the book? Using the book is simple, according to Ms John-Dorie. Since there is a daily message for the next 108 days, a person simply has to read the message for a particular day and contemplate on the meaning of each word, and how one can apply it in one’s life. The next step is to apply the message whenever one
comes across situations that are suitable. Once the 180 days are over, one simply starts over. Ms. John-Dorie says she decided on 180 days because it has special significance in many religions. For example, in Christianity, the rosary has 108 beads, which are called Taspi in Islam and Mala in Hinduism. Ms John-Dorie encourages people to buy the book as a Christmas gift for their loved ones. The book costs just $500., and those who are interested in its purchase can contact the author on telephone number 680-7047.
