Moore

Publisher:

Year Published:

ISBN:
0060925752

Book Review:

You may often find it difficult to logically understand why a particular relationship or friendship did not last, or why families can be so incredibly different. But, as Thomas Moore explains, in his New York Times bestselling book Soul Mates: Honoring the Mysteries of Love and Relationships, “The heart has its own reasons.” Eloquently written, Soul Mates illuminates the presence of the soul in relationships. Through his words, examples from Greek mythology, and passages from great poets, Moore paints a picture of the workings of the soul in action within relationships. He explores the distinction between spirit and soul. He reveals the soul’s dual longings for attachment and detachment and explores the resulting tension. In Soul Mates, Moore encourages you to look beyond the rational/intellectual solutions to relational problems, and seek more soul-based solutions. Through Soul Mates, you’ll learn:

Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential

Author Last Name:
Myss

Author First Name:
Caroline

Publisher:
Harmony Books

Year Published:
2002

ISBN:
0517703920

Book Review:

In Sacred Contracts, Caroline Myss, a medical intuitive (one who uses intuition to diagnose illness and its potential source), provides a visionary and practical tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth. Through years of intuitive readings, Myss has found individuals often don’t understand their purpose in life. This lack of understanding has led to a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions—a metaphysical disease (the cause being of nonphysical, subtle origins), which leads, in turn, to depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness. Through a new theory of archetypes, Myss builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and contemporary thinkers. Sacred Contracts presents a unique process of self-discovery and spiritual archaeology, which will help you connect to your Divine purpose. Through this brilliant work of spiritual wisdom, you’ll:

The Four Agreements

Book Title:
The Four Agreements

Author Last Name:
Miguel Ruiz

Author First Name:
Don

Publisher:
Amber-Allen Publishing

Year Published:
1997

ISBN:
1878424319

Book Review:

This is one of those rare books that is destined to be a perennial best-seller. In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob people of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom (the ancient wisdom tradition of Mexico and a way of life based on the unity of science and spirit), this extraordinary book offers a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform anyone’s life to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. These agreements are deceptively simple: Be impeccable with your word (speak with integrity; say only what you mean); Don’t take anything personally (nothing others do is because of you); Don’t make assumptions (find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want); Always do your best (and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret). A brilliant recipe for living with freedom.

The Soul’s Code

Book Title:
The Soul’s Code

Author Last Name:
Hillman

Author First Name:
James

Publisher:
Warner Books

Year Published:
1997

ISBN:
0446673714

Book Review:

Some call it "genius." Others have named it "spirit," "daimon," and even "guardian angel." But while philosophers and psychologists from Plato to Jung emphasized the fundamental essence of our individuality, our modern culture refuses to accept that a unique, formed soul is within us from birth, shaping as much as it is shaped. Now in this extraordinary bestseller, James Hillman presents a brilliant new vision of our selves not defined by family relationships or the mentality of victimization. Drawing on the biographies of such disparate people as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate and shows how the soul, if given the opportunity, can assert itself even at an early age. The result is a powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices -- from the way we raise our children to our social and personal commitments and achieving excellence in our time.

The Power of Intention

Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:18:04 -0500

The Power of Intention: Learning to Create Your World Your Way

Author Last Name:
Dyer

Author First Name:
Wayne

Year Published:
1990

ISBN:
1401902162

Book Review:

Intention is generally viewed as a kind of focused determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. However, intention is viewed very differently here. Dr. Wayne Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place; exploring intention not as something you do but as an energy you're a part of. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with its immense power.
