An alien assassin could get used to life on Earth... Zemanni has been called many things-shapeshifter, bounty hunter, assassin, Gray. But since being ripped apart by an angry Lyrian and barely managing to piece himself back together, the only word he can think of is "trapped". Trapped in the form of Eric Peterson, and saddled with the biological needs and urges of a human-urges that center around the aggressively helpful woman giving him shelter. Brooke knows her unhealthy need to rescue people is reaching a new level when she takes the wounded alien she finds hiding in her car back to her apartment. He's gorgeous and rude and has glowing streaks of silver all over his body-a body he doesn't seem to know what to do with. She has a few ideas... After meeting Brooke, Zemanni begins to think that Earth is the perfect place to retire. Can he convince his many enemies that he's truly out of the game, or will his past catch up to him before he can start a future with Brooke?

I found it in Mantra Meditation - mindful chanting of select Mantras to enable and deepen meditation.What is a Mantra? (Pronounced as Mun tra or Man tra)'Man' translates as 'mind' and 'tra' as a tool or an aid for the mind to achieve whatever it is that it wants to achieve - in this case, some measure of inner peace and tranquility.Mantras transform lives. However, there are countless Mantras. Where would you start and how do they work?It is quite an exact science. With understanding and correct utterance, the sound vibrations activate a chain of bio-chemical reactions that heals the inflammation in our system caused by stress, eating disorders, and broken immunity systems.T H E R E S U LT: The clinical benefits were obvious: A gradual sense of calm; reduced Stress, depression, andhypertension; lower blood pressure; improved metabolism, digestion, and memory functions.I HAVE CREATED A COLLECTION OF NINETEEN MOST SIMPLE AND PROVEN MANTRAS THAT HAVE HEALED PEOPLE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS - IT IS CALLED "INNER LIGHT".At the end of each session, remember to smile and repeat to yourself: I am okay. I am not afraid. I have survived every downturn;I will survive again. There is NO power in the world that can harm me.I am the eternal spirit. I am blessed. Wishing you every success. Sumita Roy
