EnlightenmentAnimal Speak This book is amazing; I never knew that an animal presence in your life could mean so much. Just before receiving this book I had a reading done telling me what I needed to do to further my spiritual growth as well as letting me know about my guides, just after my reading I was visited by a Robin three times in three days. I took me a day to look up in the book what it meant “the robin helps you to assert the force of will to create new growth in your life, the robin will help show how effect this growth successfully.” Wow, did I need any more conformation that I was on the right path. A week later I was greeted by a tree frog in my bathroom, how it got there I had know idea until reading Animal Speak and again was amazed by the clarity. Frogs are links to fairies and elves; it came out in my reading that I have three fairy guides. The book says, “Frog totems are very sensitive to the emotional state of others.” I had just gone through a stressful week with the passing of a grandparent and another being hospitalized, then reading the book and feeling a sense of calm and warmth knowing that my fairies were letting me know that they were there for me and that I would be okay. Without this book these occurrences could have been just mundane things that happened in my life but now I know the Significance of these animals and what they mean to me. This book is so much more than just about animals though, it tells us about the significance of plants, trees, mountains and more. If you surround yourself with certain trees like willows, it may be because they bring healing and inner vision. Ever wonder why you like the colour red, it may be that you need strength in your life. When you see a feather on the ground do just keep walking or stop and pick it up, read chapter 9 and you will be looking for a feather to try the exercises at the end of the chapter. There are meditations to help you find your totem or spirit animal that have generally been with you for your whole life. The meditation on page 17 is wonderful, so peaceful and uplifting. This book is easy to read and each time you pick it up you will find even more information on many different things, I look at it and I am amazed at the information it provides about so many things other than just animal speak. Reviewed by: Crystal Medicine Well, this book was an eye opener for me I always though of rocks
and crystals as inanimate objects that come from the earth and are
just there. Some look like boring old rocks and some are quite pretty
with all the refractions in the crystals. Well, I now know that
they all have spirits of there own and need to be respected, which
until now that concept seemed kind of weird but the way the author
explains it, it makes so much sense. The author goes into depth about healing with rocks and crystals starting with how to clear your rocks of past energy, to empowering your crystals with energy from the moon or the sun and stars. The author comes from a native Indian shaman background and the book teaches mostly about this kind of spirit energy and native shaman healing but there is good information for everyone. She talks about stone elixirs; how to make them and the how to heal with them as well as all the precautions to take. There are instructions on how to make your own medicine wheel and then detailed instructions on how to use it which I found really interesting. She explains things in a way that is easy to understand without a lot of big words (just down to earth). I found the information on crystal dowsing to be really helpful since you can do it with the person there or just by simply drawing an outline of the person and writhing their name. You can also use a pendulum and dowse the areas that need healing which is really helpful to pin point where you need to send distant healing. The stone encyclopedia consists of about one third of the book; is very extensive, easy to use and has a lot of information. This makes the book worthwhile to have as a hand book on stones. The encyclopedia has so much information on each stone, energy, planet/ sign, stone lore, crystal system and medicinal uses which is really helpful for someone like myself who is a beginner and has ask many questions about what stone is good for what purpose. In the beginning I wasn’t sure I was going to get much out of this book, boy was I wrong. Written by Dowsing for
Beginners I found this book to be very interesting and educational. I particularly enjoyed the sections on how to make and use the different types of tools. This book would be a great help for anyone interested in learning how to dowse as the author gives a very good description on the methods and tools that are necessary. I didn't realize that it is that simple to dowse. Mr. Webster is an excellent teacher. Overall I give this book a “A+” for clear and concise instruction and also for introducing the reader to a personal view of his own experiences. I also enjoyed the section where he introduces the reader to some well known dowsers “Gallery of Dowsers". Well done Mr. Webster; I look forward to reading more of your books. Reviewed by: Chakras For
Beginners Chakras For Beginners is a very helpful book for those like myself who find themselves at the beginning of their spiritual journey without much knowledge. I had heard the word Chakra but did not really know what it meant until last year when I received my level one Reiki, As that journey progressed I realized that I needed more knowledge and this book really helped . In the beginning of the book it talks about balance in your life which is essential, but I didn’t realize to what extent until I read it. It gives you exercises to improve your balance and many other exercises in each chapter. The exercises help you find out if your Chakra is balanced and what to work on to improve this, which is helpful when you are unsure where to begin and then how to proceed further. Each chapter tells you the purpose of the Chakra and how it affects your personality and how you look at the world which amazing that something so simple can have so much impact if not in balance, whether in a negative way or a positive way. I now have a direction to go in and know the knowledge of how to get there because of this book, it was very informative and will be a great tool to help me on my journey. Book Review By:
Talk about syncronicity, this book couldn’t have come at a better time for me. After reading “Chakras for Beginners”, I felt relieved and affirmed in what I had been guessing to be an imbalance of my second and third chakras for some time now. What David Pond has done, however, is given the reader not merely the meanings of the chakras but the tools to awaken these areas of the body and spirit by providing the exercises and meditations necessary. Although I have perused through books on the chakras, spoken to people about them and tried a few techniques for clearing pathways of energy, I did not “get” the whole picture until I read this informative little book. David impresses upon us the importance of balance but without sounding dogmatic. He touches on other religious beliefs and practices, such as, the christian notion that having fallen from grace many are on the search to gain access to heaven by being ‘good’ in this lifetime. Yet with humour he refutes this by asking the question, “what if our life here is a blessing and not something to overcome?” What if this is it! He also writes by virtue of his own personal healing and growth. I especially like that he can explain profound ideas in simple terms, for example the importance of interconnection between the Ego, Soul and Spirit. Thus reminding the reader that the premise of the metaphysical path is the inter-relationship between all things. A great read! I would recommend this book to others. Reviewed by: Flying Without
a Broom The beginning of the book was great. I really soaked up all the information and her words made alot of sense to me. As the book progressed, I became less and less enchanted by her words. I found her examples to be so extreme that they seemed to be there just to strike fear into the reader. She would give one of these examples in her book and then in the next sentence tell you not to bring fear into your astral work. Well, now that she’s planted all these seeds of fear, I don’t know how she expects the reader to feel calm and comfortable about projecting. I felt her extreme examples weren’t needed, a more gentle example would have been more believable for me and would have given me the same understanding of what she was cautioning about. I feel that this book would have been much better if there was a chapter or two about the cautions that she wanted everyone to understand rather than becoming redundant throughout the entire book. A little reminder of caution before each journey would have been fine but I felt overwhelmed by her warnings. Her section about astral lovers, to me, seemed wrong. Saying that having sex in the astral isn’t cheating on your partner and then saying that having sex in the astral is very emotional......how can something emotional with another partner NOT be cheating? Then she tells the reader to not bother telling their partners about this astral lover. If it isn’t wrong then why keep it a secret? Her book didn’t feel right to me which really disappointed me because I was really looking forward to learning to fly. I leave my body often but I don’t go anywhere, I just hover. I think I’ll wait to journey until i find another teacher. D.J. Conway doesn’t feel like the right teacher for me. I will not be recommending this book. in light, Kundalini for Beginners I 'd like to call this book "Kundalini for the Intellect"
or "The Longest Path to Self Realization." Seriously though,
this was an interesting read. What this means is it took me three
different attempts to get through it as there is so much information
to take in. For one thing far too much was introduced in the beginning
for one lowly beginner to sift through. There were also lots of
quotes that steered me away from the main theses. I had to return
my brain to third year university to remember this or that writer
or philosopher. And by the way who is Paramhansa Yogananda anyway? Obviously a learned man, this book reads as though it were written for other PHD professors as evidenced by a 20 page bibliograpghy, an 8 page glossary and a 30 page index. Please call this book by another title or simply give the beginner less complex information to sift through. P.S. two typos: page 94 "practises is to unite "theses' should be "these" and page 132 "through his hands when the right moment "come" Should be "came"? Book review by The
Moon & Everyday Living This book is an absolute must for anyone that is truly interested in working “with” the energy of the moon. If you want your life to flow easier, understand your moods better, find meaning in the energetic and non-energetic times......you need this book! This is not a book to be borrowed. This is a book to be owned. Make sure you have one of Llewellyn’s calendars that let you know where the moon is everyday so you can work with this book on a daily basis. Daniel Pharr explains in a very simple to understand method, how to use the lunar energies to truly work with, and transform your life. This book will be a constant companion to me at my desk to assist my everyday decisions, I suggest everyone do the same. in light, |
