Hello,

This is from the first chapter of a book called Crown of Thorns by Micheal Edward Owens. I found the first chapter here.This chapter was helpful, and useful for me. Here is the exercise at the end of the chapter. I hope this helps someone out there.
God bless

Another contemplative exercise to face life’s
challenges and gain greater closeness to God and
Its Will
The way to develop love, strength, and courage is to
strengthen your connection to God's love. So this exercise is
very simple and in line with the consciousness and teachings
of St. Ignatius who believed that simplicity in all things
creates a more direct path to the heart of God.
1. Close your eyes and imagine a starry night sky in your
Third Eye, at the point just above and between your
eyebrows.
2. Watch the stars twinkle for a few moments and then
notice that one begins to shine more brightly than the
others.
3. Focus on that light and say this mantra three times: “EVA-
TE” (pronounced as "ee-vah-tay.") This mantra
means “Lead me and absorb me into your Universal Will.
4. This mantra and above postulate is your key to greater
closeness to God and greater strength of courage and
conviction in your daily life challenges. You may say it
aloud or to yourself throughout your day whenever you
need upliftment. Blessed be.

Thanks
