You may enjoy these books as wellNovember 22, 2008 If you are into self discovery and for thinkers, I got these recommendations from another writer, I read them and highly enjoyed them. These two books are easy to comprehend, and they are one of a kind, full of information for deep seekers. Check it out RUMI & SELF PSYCHOLOGY (PSYCHOLOGY OF TRANQUILITY) and SARA'S THERAY: THE WAY TO PURITY (A SESSION BY SESSION TALK OF AN ACTUAL THERAPY PROCESS OF SELF GROWTH).
Contains a good message but veiled in the same padded down formatNovember 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the third book in a series by Sanaya Roman. I tried to keep an open mind while reading this book. I am not a spiritual person but thought that this book had some pretty good ideas. The book is channeled through Sanaya Roman but the words written come from a higher being named Orin who exists on a higher plane than our own. Each chapter tackles a different life issues and ends in a meditation exercise that can be used as a tool to improve upon what the chapter addressed. Five pages into the book you are given a meditation exercise in which you get into a relaxed state and attempt to merge with your "higher self" and than ask him/her an important question. At first I took it quite literally and expected to be magically transported to some kind of plateau of enlightenment (silly of me I know, but remember, I was trying to keep my natural skepticism at bay, it wasn't easy). Than as I attempted the exercise over and over sometimes for up to an hour I realized that maybe you are just supposed to use your imagination to create the scenarios. Since all of the other meditation exercises rely on being able to perform the first one I could progress no further. The rest of the book is made up of reworded theory backed up through personal scenarios that are only convincing to those that experienced them and the assumption that this book is coming from an all knowing, all seeing source. It contains an exercise similar to what is taught in "The Secret". You can use light and vibrations to make things happen without actually doing anything physically. She says in the start of the book to abandon any assumptions you have going into the book and embrace it with all of your heart. Maybe for some people this is easy but I couldn't keep the red flags at bay. If this book helps you improve your life and makes you happy I think that's great, but it definitely isn't for everyone.

The book is amazing, it is written so beautifully, and really left me with a warm and loving feeling. Sanaya is def. among my favorite authors. There is so much information in this book that is useful in life, its a must read!!
ChallengingMarch 9, 2007 Although I love this book, I don't advise people to start here on the path to spirital awakening. I am of the opinion that you should first read up on information about channeling. Doing so will help you accept the fact that you are always being protected by benevolent beings such as your Higher Self and will enable you to ebrace the notion of connecting with such a being with an open heart. In the beginning, I tried to jump right in but found that without adequate information about the subject my mind conjured up all types of fear-based fantasies about being posessed. Eventually, I learned to trust spirit and allowed my heart to be "touched by an angel". Once you begin this journey you will never be the same: your want to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually will grow exponentially. This will probably be challenging for most because growth often translates into having little to no room left for old patterns and friends. Approach when ready.
