I have a unique challenge for those of you who would count yourselves amongst the courageous souls who are defined as warriors; those who battle in the trenches; those who hold the front-line and fight to maintain peace. I have designed this book for those warriors who constantly strive to improve themselves - to set themselves apart from the masses. This book is designed to help you to improve your warrior spirit, as Eastern cultures over the millenniums have done, utilizing the ancient technique of mantras or positive affirmations. The challenge is introducing this "new" training technique to the warriors in Western culture who have yet to experience its life altering power. If you accept the challenge of learning this new technique, I can guarantee you will experience a dramatic and powerful personal transformation as you cultivate and awaken the warrior spirit within.

A mantra or affirmation is a formula of invocation that can deeply affect our ability to succeed. It has the power to alter our lives in ways most of us can scarcely imagine. For the purposes of this book, it entails a short phrase that is repeated over and over until it is ingrained in your consciousness. Think of it as planting a small seed in your mind that will grow and flourish until it is an unconquerable and indomitable part of your will. These techniques have been practiced for literally thousands of years with success that is well documented in the annals of history.

Civilizations the world over have used mantras, or positive affirmations, to overcome the most incredible circumstances. When these powerful techniques are combined with the ironclad resolve of willpower, what you will be able to overcome is limitless. Doctors, scientists and skeptics are left scratching their heads and using words like "miracle" to explain what science does not yet understand. In the context of this book, the mantras I have listed are designed as positive affirmations to evoke the warrior spirit that exists within each of us. These affirmations have the power to ignite the unconquerable strength of your soul. They will help you to become a powerful force against the evils that lurk in our society.

If you want to take your training to the next level, The Warrior's Mantra (Barricade Books Inc., April 2005), can be ordered through your local book store, or from stores listed at right.
