Publishers Press Release

"We already are that which we seek." This simple tenet lies at the heart of Visions of Reality: Art of Synthesis' (published by Authorhouse), the new nonfiction by Barbara Rose. It's easy to get caught up in the constant pursuit of material possessions and personal and professional goals; so easy, in fact, that one can forget to live in the moment and give thanks for the present. Visions of Reality is a welcome reminder to live grounded in each moment.

Combining the philosophies of Kabbalah, Sacred Geometry and the Chakras, Visions of Reality takes those core principles and expounds on them with 42 colour images of Rose's original artwork, seed thoughts, poetry and symbols. The ancient wisdom gives a foundation for transformation and Rose's upbeat style conveys her message in an accessible, thoughtful way.

"All to often the everyday demands of life in the 21st century mean we live our lives at the outer edges of who we really are, rarely finding the time to delve even a little beneath the surface," Rose writes. "Taking time out to pause and reflect is becoming more and more essential as everyday stresses take their toll on our health, relationships and environment." Visions of Reality gives readers a new resource for cultivating inner peace. Find out more in the pages of this inspirational, non-denominational new book.
