I appreciate that Davenport enhances the original works and acknowledges the original author of It Works. the material that Davenport has added to the original text makes this book a greater learning as well as reference tool. Several times as I find myself in an emotionally difficult place, not moving forward in my life, I can refer back to one of the tools, referred to as “keys” in this book and find an exercise that will help me get out of my rut and begin moving forward again.
So many jewels in each chapter.
Animals serve as our protectors, messengers, and guides. Because animal archetypes are so strong within the human psyche, many individuals resonate with the mannerisms, defense strategies, social structures and habits of particular animals, insects, birds, and fish. According to the author animal totems are also known by names such as spirit animals, power animals, totem helpers, and others
In this book, the author provides comprehensive information on animal totems, including the process of discovering your own. He discusses how to awaken to your spirit totems, the mystery of predator and prey, reading signs and omens in nature, and augury and the meaning of landscapes.
If you want to explore the Tao Te Ching as it speaks to you, personally, then this is a book you definitely want to digest.
It starts out with an overview of Lao Tzu's work and the challenges that come with translating it. Every character of every chapter is provided, along with multiple possible meanings. Using this, you can compose your own interpretations of your favorite chapters, or the whole book if you wish.
Star's translation is flowing and beautiful, though not word-for-word unadorned. There are phrases in Star's translation that don't even appear in the Chinese text, but he does this intelligently and purposefully, illuminating the nuances of meaning of the text. Star draws a lot from other languages and teaching (especially Sanskrit and great teachers from India) in his comments about the meanings of key concepts.
The Tao is always present within you.
You can use it any way you want.
Doreen Virtue has a clear conection to Angelic energy. I came across this book during a trying time in my life. I have used her prayer suggestions several times and seen the results almost imediately. this book introduces Angels, Archanges, deities from different religions, saints and even mythical characters. I do not know of any other book with such results of obvious research and personal experience, as she shares how she met some of these beings. Anyone, regardless of religious or spirititual belief could find a helpful being in these pages.
finally someone writes a easy to read, personal experience book that tells all of us that we CAN have a conversation directly with God - no middleman - no hoops to jump. wonderful
This is a very personal collection of stories of individual journeys. The author briefly recounts these different voyages, the process and the results many people found as they went through their own vision quest. It’s a fine way to reconnect with all of nature, including and most importantly, with your own human nature.
The connection between mind and body has been written about for years. This book provides more detailed information on how to deal with more than just a common cold. It shows how to listen and understand the messages your body is playing out - messages it is receiving from your own mind. A must read.
So many times, I’ve strugled to keep a multitude of agreements when all I need is FOUR. Everything is contained in these FOUR. Powerful and life changing.
I have read this book several times. Tolle has the ability in to bring informatin to the simplest and most easily digested form. Whether I read the book from cover to cover, or meditate and let the book open on its own, each page is a jewel.
So many authors speak only from their own experience, and while that is great, this book goes farther in the inclusion of detailed trstimonials. I especially apreciate how the testimonials detail the original problem and how the person solves the bproblem using what they learned int he book. these testimonials are most than just flattery of having read the book or know the author; these testimonials are just as powerful and helpful and the authors words. The testimonials give light as to how to apply the information in the book, and the possibility of the results that could be achieved by others, because of the results already received.
