Healing Reading

To kick off 2011, I read The Shadow Effect released in May 2010. I figured I needed to start the year off on an empowering note. And I definitely feel better for having read this book! I'll give a sampling of excerpts from the book co-written by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson.

There were parts that made me wonder why I needed to read these things in a book, such common sense rhetoric about forgiveness and awareness. Overall I appreciated the straight forward and direct language. Very worthwhile!

'You are not in the world. The world is in you.' -Vedas

'The most important thing in rebuilding your emotional body is becoming whole. When you experience yourself as your source and your world at the same time, you have become whole.'

'Feel feelings, whether it's anger, fear, envy, aggression, or anything else, and say, "I see you. You belong to me."'

'Our shadow is all that we try to hide from those we love and all that we don't want other people to find out about us.'

'Prayer is not just a symbol; it is a force. Meditation is not just something that relaxes us; it is something that harmonizes the energies of the universe.'

'Ultimately, the healing of the world will emerge not from our changing and correcting others, but from our willingness to change and correct ourselves.'

Bless up divine sistrens!
Happy 2011!
