Book Reviews of Why People Don't Heal and How They Can
Book Review: Not just problems, but solutions
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book not only enlightening but very practical.There's some overlap with "Anatomy of the Spirit," but justenough to summarize her ideas about the chakras for those who haven't read that book. In addition, she offers not only a good analysis of why some people don't heal (usually it's not so much "don't" or "can't," as "I'll lose too much by healing"), but also helpful suggestions on how to get beyond focussing on your wounds and begin the process of healing. Her suggested "sacramental" rituals may not be for everyone; but for those of us raised in a religion (such as Catholicism) that places considerable emphasis on ritual, they can be very helpful as a way of enlisting one's emotional and "tribal" responses in the service of healing. This is a very positive, helpful guide for anyone who's ever wondered "Now that I've identified what my wounds mean, what next?".Book Review: WHAT A GIFT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually just read reviews not write them but for this book I wanted others to know that it is NOT what some of the negative reviewers have presented it to be. This is book is a gift for anyone looking for healing and presents answers if we are WILLING to be open to the ideas. Those who are so negative about the book just, unfortunately, don't get it. Continuing to label yourself as some sort of victim (we all are or have been in some way or another) will keep you just where you are. Actually those who are so anti-this book prove Caroline's point exactly so I guess what she says does work. When we are ready to let go of the victim mentality and take responsibility for our lives in totality (mind, body and spirit) then we are ready to heal. If you are ready for this, then this book is for you. It works, period. Thanks, Caroline for your honesty and your truth.Book Review: You are not your trauma
Summary: 5 Stars
Therapy had me think about and relive the painful experiences that I have had over and over again. Instead of helping me get better, it just kept the trauma fresh every day. Dr. Myss' book shows you that you can break free from past trauma and not have it continue to consume your body's physical energy. This leaves you available to live and enjoy your life today with enthusiasm and vitality. I find it continually inspiring. Definitely worth the money.
Another book that supports these theories is "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel & Shya Kane. They also stress that living and being here in the present moment is more important and makes you more alive than constantly looking to your past for problems.
Book Review: This book explains me and everyone I shake my head over
Summary: 5 Stars
When I really look at my self and others whose life is one train wreck after another, this book explained it perfectly. I now understand addictions, divorce and disagreeable people both outside my window and in my mirror. The negative comments about this book are from people who need their victim-hood to explain their bad behaviors/poor choices/bad luck etc. and are not ready to take responsibility for themselves and therefore, they bad mouth this book and other attempts to heal.
I have bought many copies of this book and given it to some folks that need it the most. To date, the ones that need this info the most throw the book at me. I should not be surprised but I will keep trying to help them heal.
Keep the faith!
Book Review: 1o of 2 Best Books I EVER Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read alot,I search alot,for healing,growth and methods that answer my questions on why am I still stuck in a pattern - how can I move to a higher place? This book explains very logically a non-logical reality,and gives one methods to USE! This book I found much more meaningful than her Anatomy of the Spirit. This book covers the exact same info but explains what to do with the chakras in ways that I can use. Thank you Caroline,this was honest and all that many other books promise. (The other best book I ever read was Reclaiming Your Life by Jean Jenson)
