FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Peaceful World Evolves through Peaceful Hearts
Free Holistic Prayer Email Course Now Available

April 3, 2002, Lambertville, NJ - In an uncertain era of terrorism, high alerts, and anxiety, many are turning toward spiritualism and God for comfort and solace. In support of this quest, Self-Healing Expressions, which provides holistic and personal growth email courses, announced today its new free prayer study course, "Holistic Prayers ~ Healing the Mind, Body and Spirit Through Prayer." The email lessons consist of interfaith prayers and a wide range of inspirational quotes from Buddha to the Dalai Lama, to Duke Ellington and beyond.

As with other courses from Self-Healing Expressions, the learner sets the day and interval of the email lessons. "We noticed that the highest 'search strings' for our site were for 'healing prayers' and 'meditation,' so we figured there was a need to address prayer. We also believe that world peace will evolve through inner peace. Given that, as a public service, we developed a prayer study course that focuses on peace and healing," says June Soyka, founder of the company and developer of the course. "By embracing multi-cultural prayers and grasping their spiritual underpinnings, we begin dissolving the barriers separating us."

The course aims to guide, assist and support journeys leading towards inner healing and world peace. The lessons draw from ancient and contemporary prayers, blessings from many faiths and inspirational quotes. Additional resources are suggested, such as relevant books, web sites and organizations that support world peace. Through these resources, one can learn about upcoming prayer vigils, grassroots networks and events.

"Prayer is something we can all participate in and benefit from. Studies show that people who are prayed for heal faster and that people who pray and practice spirituality are healthier and happier," says Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway, interfaith minister and co-director of World Light Fellowship-United Nations Chapter. "Self Healing Expression's new course on holistic prayer is a wonderful resource and support to people who choose to tap into the power of prayer. It is diverse and interfaith. And in the true spirit of connecting with community it's free!" she notes. "The course brings together an inspiring collection of materials and insights that make prayer easily accessible to all."
