Enlightenment means becoming a light unto yourself. But how does one get on the path to enlightenment? In this practical spiritual guide, Simon Chokoisky shares 11 time-tested yet simple daily techniques to help you find your spiritual path, or “dharma,” no matter what your spiritual background--be it Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, or Agnostic. He explains how everyone has a unique learning style as well as a spiritual style--your “Dharma type”--and how the Dharma method allows you to pick any seven of the 11 methods described in the book to practice. You can even change them daily, all based on your unique needs. And by holding to the 7/11 “rule” daily, you’ll soon find yourself on the road to rapid spiritual progress and personal enlightenment.
In this book, the author explains how he distilled these 11 spiritual techniques from centuries of methods used by spiritual masters from around the world. He details the 5 different Dharma types and provides personality tests to determine your type. He provides routines, tips, and tricks to keep you on track as well as thoughtful exercises to help you apply spiritual principles in your everyday life. He explores how to apply the commandments of the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Yoga Yamas and Niyamas, and the Buddhist 8-fold path based on your Dharma type. He discusses the power of sound and how to use mantras for success and sacred connection. He also explains the best ways to purify your body and mind as well as how to create a “standing wave” of spiritual power to recharge yourself anytime during the day.
Showing how spirituality is inherent in each of us and is abundant, free, and easy to cultivate, the author reveals how you can best cultivate your spiritual light and share it with the world.

Featured Reviews
I enjoyed this book and the eleven practices found inside to help us discover our personal path. This book is filled with mantras and meditations to help us find our own path to enlightenment.
I would like to thank Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
I was attracted to this book as it appears to explore different topics to most of those in the spirituality genre, and I love to learn about such things. What makes it pretty special is that it encompasses wisdom from spiritual masters from across each of the major religions so can cater for many different people due to this. I do, however, feel that there are better books on the market which explore the same methods in a more compelling way.
The core of the book is based around 11 methods to help one to move towards spiritual enlightenment and setting each of us on our own personal path to betterness. Each of the techniques is easy to follow and understand, even to a complete novice. Although no doubt most (if not all) of the information is credible, unfortunately, what really let the whole thing down was that it was written in a rather dry manner leading to it becoming very tedious and a hard slog to get through. However, I did appreciate the contrast between the instructional parts of the book and the theoretical aspects which gave background on the different methods. Overall, this is a sound self-help guide that explains that spirituality is inherent in each of us and attempts to guide us towards a more enlightened path.
Many thanks to Destiny Books for an ARC. I was not required to post a review, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
