Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-12 00:00:00 Beth Smith You have to be in the right time and place in your own life for this book. I read it at a time when I was actively seeking spiritual enlightenment, and this book absolutely fit the bill. My notes are copied here from 2004 - after reading my notes, I think I need to re-read this book! Wonder if I can find it in my stacks somewhere.... Spiritual healing and intuitiveness. Discusses body chakras and connectedness to spirit and health. TRUST our instincts our intuition and our dreams. Self-discovery Full of amazing insights and information. I spent weeks reading this book - sometimes I would take 1 hour just to think about a particular passage. I've marked up many passages in the book. Death is not the enemy - fear of death is. Healing the fear of death and dying is an aspect of the tranquillity that the human spirit is capable of achieving through the journey of becoming conscious. Without energy you cannot support health…. If we do not like ourselves we will be incapable of making healthy decisions. From an energy point of view, every choice that enhances our spirits strengthens our energy field; and the stronger our energy field, the fewer our connections to negative people and experiences. Intuitive guidance means having the self-esteem to recognize that the discomfort or confusion that a person feels is actually directing him to take charge of his life and make choices that will break him out of stagnation or misery. Few Quotes: Sometimes the greatest act of love is to withhold judgement. Being judgemental is a spiritual error. Remaining attached to negative events and beliefs is toxic to our minds, spirits, cell tissue and lives. Negative choices generate situations that recur in order to teach us how to make positive choices. The sweet energy of healing pours into our energy system every time we break a fear's authority over our lives.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-24 00:00:00 Makoto Ochiai Some books fall into your hands at the exact right moment. This sure did. Even a year ago, I would have easily been turned off by a lot of the language within this. There is a lot of God talk, that at one time made me want to drink bleach rather than confront. Now I have gotten to the point that while I am not ecstatic when I see it, I do not have an immediate negative reaction. And truthfully, that only works in my favor here, as this book has been beyond helpful in creating a path to healing, where I take control of what needs to happen and I take the responsibility rather than creating a relationship where I can blame someone/thing else if I do not heal. And this is truly a gift. A gift. A gift. A gift. Myss really shows how much of our world and our lives are dominated by energies. How much we are actually energy. IF this sounds amazingly new agey, she does not really approach it that way, but in a you need to eat good to get energy to do things. And if you do not eat food, you will have no energy. Then applies this though out. It makes sense. She also discusses how when we give up energy or lose it, how we can be adversely effected by that: "If a person is able to sense intuitively that he or she is losing energy because of a stressful situation - and then acts to correct that loss of energy - then the likelihood of that stress developing into a physical crisis is reduced, if not eliminated completely." This is basically a guide book to living a far healthier life. And while I took pages of notes and quotes away which I hope to use in helping me restore my health, the best part of this is that she has 10 questions after each chapter which force you to confront issues that most of us bury as deeply as possible. And while I am done with the book, I am just beginning to answer those questions. And as difficult as most of them are to answer, they feel like shedding old self destructive patterns and habits. They feel like yanking away the lies we tell ourselves, thinking they make each day easier, only to create mass confusion and pandemonium. It is not the easiest thing to read. I found myself reading some passages up to 8 times, and often having to mouth the words, just to ensure my mind was open to the plethora of new ideas. And I have plans to go back and review it in some months time, to ensure I am putting it all into action. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to create a more healthy space to exist in, or you know anyone sensible and who enjoys life and wants to ensure they live it to the fullest.
