Inspiring message for our times!

Revisado: 11-22-24

I have been a seeker of truth and a student of A course in Miracles for over 20 years. I have experienced much growth in my spirituality, but I still needed some of my questions and concerns answered. This book contains answers to my questions and is assisting me in understanding who I am and how I could be living a better spiritual life. Its practical message and insightful exercises are helping me by offering a way to stop being manipulated by blame, shame and guilt. I have gained a better understanding of the big picture, what I am and why I am here.

This book comes from the heart as the author shares some of his personal experiences as to why he believes in ACIM’s message and that has strengthened my own belief. It opened a path to better awareness of the liberating message of the Course In Miracles and a deeper understanding about what love and forgiveness are all about.

This book is truly inspiring, thoughtful and logically presented. It addresses the key concepts of ACIM while providing clarity to a deeper understanding of the Course. The narrator is expressive and does an excellent job. The book comes with a detailed study guide for current and future reference that includes a much appreciated clearly defined glossary of terms. I highly recommend this book and only wish I had found it 20 years ago.

Passionate , informative & helpful

Revisado: 04-09-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Today, the problems caused by social anxiety cannot be overlook, This book places the stop light on this rising problem and the additional pressure that all, but especially teens, encounter with the raise of social media and the disproportionate role it plays upon one’s psychic. Dr Walsh is someone who has suffering and overcome self-image problems. This is well written, easy to relate to, and touches you on a personal level. This book is not something to be read and put aside. Rather, it is something to work with , do the exercises and actively seek to change those harmful beliefs that lie at the root of your anxieties. It begins with how the mind works. It explains that our subconscious or “monkey” mind is actually running the show. Yet, we can consciously choose to reeducate it.
Being a practical book, it provides the tool to do that reprogramming. The exercises for change begin in Chapter #1 and continue throughout the book. Although the focus is on teen-agers, all can find this book a useful tool against the need to be to accepted and “fit in.”In chapter #2, the author points out a counter-intuitive phenomenon that deep down we actually believe our limiting beliefs hold some hidden benefit that we want. Anxiety allow us to play 3 different roles, protector, punisher and prioritizer. Throughout the book, you are given the tools for self-diagnosis and partial treatments to baby steps your way to self-improvement.
In the final chapter, Dr. Walsh provides an overview of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) for those who need additional help or just prefer to fast track their way to recovery.

Biblically authoritative without being “preachy.”

Revisado: 02-18-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The author is wisdom teacher of the Christian bible. She provides Christian fundamentalists an authoritative basis for their beliefs without being “preachy.” I especial liked her take that giving up control to God does not mean just letting things happen. As a Christian you are meant to take an active role in life and actually live your principals.
Our secular society desires to replace God with itself as controller of your mind, Just like a god of revenge, this new “secular” god uses fear and intimidation to get its way. When you are taught that your life ends with the death of the body, you are easier for them to control. Today, it becomes imperative to know what you believe and why. Our individual morals, ethics and spirituality is under constant attack as irrational and faith in God unfounded. Society’s so called leaders and rulers know that an individual’s spirituality and belief in an afterlife is a major stumbling block in their ability to manipulate and control their subjects with fear.
Although this is a “Christian Bible based book”, it is interesting that so many successful anti-addiction programs and spiritual traditions also place such a strong emphasis an placing yourself under control of a higher power, whatever that term may mean to you. I feel more confident in letting go and letting a higher spiritual power direct me. It is that faith that transform the “why me God?” question to “Try me God.” In challenging situations, can I demonstrate the principles I have freely chosen to guide my life within this world of seeming hate and fear.
If a Christian fundamentalist, this book can help providing that firm foundation and answer the question of why “bad” things happen and who is your neighbor.

Basis foundational books to wealth

Revisado: 02-16-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Book 1 focus was on basic idea that early regular systematic saving program is key to building long term financial security and that compound of interest is an important concept in wealth building. This idea was pounded home with multiple example of compounding. Book basically assume that person had substantial positive cash flow and therefore could easily make the choice to “ pay themselves first.” Did mention that mindset, not how much money you make, is key to wealth. Lack the how to do develop that mindset and in depth suggestion on how to develop that positive cash flow.
Second book was boarder and informative but again very basic. I liked that it had the 5 foundational rules to developing a proper wealth mind set. The last chapter talked about the idea the there are multiple areas in life that makes one wealthy. Money is just one of those multiple areas. Without health, relationship, freedom, enjoying what you do, etc, money will not make one happy. Book is a good broad basic starter.

Pack with lots of tips. Uplifting

Revisado: 02-07-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This book was packed with lots of tips that are important to be aware when dealing with being a single parent. I really liked that idea of leaving other peoples’ judgments behind and embracing the challenge. Realizing that no matter what others think the most important judgment is to try to be a person that your child would be proud of. Remembering that nobody is perfect but you are not alone. Book was uplifting yet real.
Chapter 2 repeated itself a few times but my download might have been the problem.

Changed my mind set about money

Revisado: 02-02-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Much more than just the law of attraction. This Books focus is on the fact that money as really a manifestation of energy. Spiritual and material wealth are not incompatible. Books goal is to change your mind set about money. It does not take more energy to manifest $1000 vs 1M.The real question is what do you believe is possible & what do you feel you deserve. The concept that money is a reward you receive for the value you are providing to the world is a tremendous shift. With great service, you attract more money. Most need to change their mindset toward wealth and money.
I really like chapter 7. It focus was on learning about yourself and how to benefit from the various tools this book provides. I preferred the 3-6-9- technique over the 5-5 technique for manifestation. The 6 money types personality was new to me. I need to realize that I am a money monk and use the pros and cons of that money type personality to improve my relationship to money. Great book and easy listen. I highly recommend this book for everyone but especially if you are a “Spiritual Types” or been indoctrinated into poverty consciousness.

Demands more than one listening.

Revisado: 01-30-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I was unfamiliar with this specific topic although I was aware of the chakra system. For me, this was a book that I needed to listen to more than once. I had to stop & rewind to replay so that I could absorb all the information. Trying to self-diagnose whether one of the nine centers was defined or undefined was normally difficult to determine although for a few centers it was crystal clear.
This book left me wanting to learn more about this system as it appear that I flow between defined & undefined. It appears that this fluidity may be caused by the people surrounding me in opening these centers. The book offers ways to allow these nature tendency of defined and undefined centers to activate at high or lower expression so that you can use these center to better adapt to the situation that surround you. By being aware of my own innate human design, I have more options available to choose from as to how to interact with my world. It allows me to learn new ways to shift my energy.
This book comes with a PDF file which is the entire PDF of the narration, including all illustrations. I found myself going to the PDF because there was so much information that I could not absorb it by just listening. Pdf has room to self-analyze yourself and others.
This book lead me to reach out to this expert to find out more about human design and how I can use its insight to live a more happy, productive life in harmony with my surroundings.

Relatable without being preachy

Revisado: 01-30-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Author shares her personal experience that lead her to develop a personal relationship with God. It has how to exercises to help awaken internal desire for acceptances yourself by developing a positive relationship to a higher power. I especially like the reality checks & mirror, mirror. The attitude for gratitude of chapter 12 was especially beneficial. This is a Christian book that will reinforce the idea that God and Jesus support you and want you to also love and respect yourself. It explains rather than preaches and understand your humanity. Although geared toward teen girls, young people need to hear that message and this book delivers it in a gentle uplifting and relatable way. The same message coming from a parent might not be as effective. It explains rather than preaches and understand their humanity.
Today in our secular society with so much social pressure to fit in it becomes more important to develop a personal relationship with your spiritual nature. If one is to become truly happy, your relationship to your spirituality is the most important relationship you can develop. Connecting to a higher power can give you that firm foundation to be able to cope with the challenges & circumstances that life throws your way. This most important relationship I can have is my relationship with my God of only love. I, like you, am a spiritual being having an earthly experience. For a young Christian or someone willing to explore Christianity, this book can help you build that relationship.

Only mediation audio book you need.

Revisado: 01-26-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This 18+ hr audio book has meditations for every area of life. It is soothing , relaxing and the narrator does an excellent job. The first book were mainly assorted meditations for various aspect with particular focus. For example, chapter 19 of book 1 focused on releasing obsessive thought which is an area that I need to improve on. This was also covered in book 2 of this bundle.
What I particularly found of value was book 2. Book 2, which was meditation for beginners is a deep dive into how to meditate. Although I have been meditating for about 50 years I still found it useful. It begins with what science and physiologists have now proven to be the tangible benefits of meditation on both your inner and outer world. Tension relief, relaxation, improved mind control and physical bodily changes have all been confirmed by physiologists as well as spiritual growth by the practitioner.
The first approximately 20 chapters of book 2 actually dealt with how to do actually do the practice. I have meditated for over 50 year on a daily basis but the step by step process for Zen mediation was wonderful and insightful. It began with the actual breathing techniques and in a step by step process it moved into deeper Zen meditation practices. It also had a section on yogic postures. The balance of book 2 (approx. 20 chapters) covered actual mediation and visualizations for various subjects similar to book 1. I loved Chapter 23 meditation and visualization that took me on a journey of connecting with pure comic energy. Background music was appropriate and calming except for book 2 ch 28 that was too loud.
Because this book covers such a vast array of meditations while also presenting a step by step process for Zen meditation, you may find this the only meditation audio book you need. I really loved it and will be enjoying listening to selected parts over and over again.

Easy to understand & practical guide

Book gives you the tools you need to become an educated user of credit and how to defend your credit rating against attacks. It provides valuable information to help you stay out of financial trouble with “how to steps” to escape if you are already stuck in the easy credit traps of your past.
