A trip worth taking

Revisado: 10-07-21

I just finished my 3rd listen of this book!
Over a couple years, but still got goosebumps & teary eyed.
A wonderful, winding, story that takes you on a journey through time and magical doorways.
Highly recommend this book. If you’ve read Erin Morgenstern or love stories that include magical elements, check this book out !

“To finding”. Find this book!

Revisado: 09-30-21

The Starless Sea is one of my favorite books ever, the Night Circus being another that I love dearly.

Thank you Erin Morgenstern for this gem!
The nuances, the intricacies… the fate of it all. I just listened to it for the third time and still had goosebumps, gasps & tears. It’s so fun to read/listen, feels like I’m on the adventure together with the characters & discovering along with them. The layers of story and fairy tales are woven together just beautifully.

The narration is perfect in my opinion, spot on & only adds to the already rich and textured characters.

Can’t say enough praise for this book & author - just go listen to it already!

Read this before you 'Kondo'

Revisado: 02-18-19

As someone who grew up in a cluttered home, I always had my own clutter because I never learned how to live another way.
I love Dana's philosophy of 'advice for slobs, written by a slob' - she really breaks it down into a no-nonsense & no-emotions-attached way to declutter. I've made lots of progress since (and while) reading this, and find the steps practical to keep using on an ongoing basis to make sure clutter doesn't sneak back in.
She goes over the process many times during the book for different rooms/situations, which could be seen as repetitive - I found it helpful to listen to while I was actually decluttering, and to help me memorize the steps.

If you're considering it, get this book!

Dana's friendly style is easy to listen to, and I find her steps easy to implement, easy to memorize and integrate.
I started doing it while I was still listening to the book, and it's made a big difference in both the cleanliness of my home and how easy it is for me to keep it up now that I have a schedule. Pre-made decisions do free up energy for other things.
Thanks Dana!

Good intro if you're looking into hypnobirthing.

Revisado: 03-04-17

If you could sum up HypnoBirthing: An Introductory Guide in three words, what would they be?

Goes over the history & ideas of hypnobirthing without giving away what's in the classes or books that you'd learn from if you want to practice it.

What other book might you compare HypnoBirthing: An Introductory Guide to and why?

Hypnobirthing by Marie Mongan

Any additional comments?

After listening to this I decided to take hypnobirthing classes and have read Marie Mongan's book. If you are interested in having a calm, joyful birth (might be hard to imagine at first, I know!), I recommend looking into hypnobirthing. The method incorporates a very positive outlook and has helped me shift my perspective.
Also - not just for 'natural' birth mamas -- hypno is open to all ways of delivery.

Peaceful take on having a holistic pregnancy.

Revisado: 03-04-17

What does Shishir Kurup bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Calming voice.

Any additional comments?

I listened to this book early in my pregnancy. Recommend for new parents & mamas who are interested in keeping a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and birth. Gently gives suggestions for positive practices and ideas to apply all throughout pregnancy. Some ayurvedic principles are included, which I'm a fan of.
Each chapter ends with the same 'mantra' about sending love to your baby & other positive practices to incorporate into your day and pregnancy. I found that hearing it at every chapter helped me remember the ideas better and reminded me to do them.

Thorough overview & of chakras.

Revisado: 03-04-17

What does Anodea Judith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Since she's narrating her own book, you can hear the passion & education that she brings to the text. Great reading voice and teacher.

Any additional comments?

Includes meditations & an overview of each of the 7 main chakras, including the developmental timing & what is affected by each. We all have chakras & it's fascinating to get a window into these energy centers through this book.

If you're into chakras, this is for you.

Revisado: 03-04-17

What did you love best about Advanced Chakra Wisdom?

Expands beyond the main 7 chakras into 12 chakras. Lots of info on each, including which age they develop or solidify - good for looking at your own chakras and also to think about when raising children! I go back and listen often because there's so much information that you'll hear something new every time. Also includes some guided meditations.

Have you listened to any of Cyndi Dale’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes - she is consistently a great writer & narrator.

Worth a listen!

What did you love best about Energy Clearing?

Great meditations are included. They're not too long (usually under 10 minutes), and guide you to clear your energy. But it's not just meditations, they are incorporated into the chapters - I bookmarked them so I can go back and listen daily.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cyndi is a great writer & narrator.

Which scene was your favorite?

Daytime meditation.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Energy Clearing?

Daily energy grounding.

Any additional comments?

I love her other books & glad I got this one too.
