When you follow this path, you’ll begin to feel a swell of energy move through you. You will find strength when you are down, synchronicity and support when you’re lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy when you are otherwise in pain. The book talks about how to move from feeling like I needed to anticipate, predict and plan for every future outcome— something that had occupied so much of my life for so long— being full of self-judgment for “bad decisions”, being full of anxiety about making the “wrong” decision in the present (and thus avoiding them in some cases), into being more open to possibilities I can’t foresee, more trusting that when I jump, a net will appear (or whatever the metaphor is), instead of my approach which is to thoroughly research the various ways successful jumpers had jumped, make a detailed jumping plan with jump metric targets and review dates to reassess how to and when to jump. Are you ok with mantras (in english and sanskrit)? there’s a lot of them in this book. If these annoy you, find another book. I was really looking forward to reviewing these as I have been using these for quite a while now and thought it was time to share my opinions on them!

They are very simple statements and each card is coloured perfectly, vivid, stark and great print quality. You’ll learn how to stop chasing life and truly live with a more positive mindset. Making the shift from fear to faith will give you a sense of power in a world that all too often makes us feel utterly powerless. These spiritual lessons will help you relinquish the need to control, so you can release anxiety and relax into a sense of certainty and freedom. Gabrielle Bernstein is a leading light and voice for modern spiritual seekers worldwide. Her commitment to 'wake up as many people as possible to their connection to faith and joy' is both inspirational and timely. Your energetic shift clears space for more miracles on a global scale. Not only will you experience massive abundance — you’ll help heal the world, too.It’s trying to sound like it has new insights - but I found none here that I have not heard or found or read elsewhere. There was a section where she encourages readers to develop their Kundalini, but from what I've read, the Kundalini should only be awakened with lots of knowledge and great caution. This is someone who puts herself so much above other people, thinking she knows best (knows it all), and is out to save the world and others. Each card looks very different to the rest, however, the general appearance is a watercolour base in different shades and colour combinations, some have other things like flowers, birds, stars and butterflies. The positive messages really fit with the colour scheme and aesthetic chosen for that particular card. I've read a few of Gabby's books before, and there's not much here that's new. Her tribe will love it, but I've recognized that while I was once on the periphery of that tribe, it's time for us to wish each other well and part ways. Namaste.

I've always been a strong believer in mindfulness, positive affirmations, meditation. I guess I always liked the idea of it more than I practiced it, but after reading this book I feel it's helped me lay the groundwork for the life I know I need to be living. Rather than including a book, the creator Gabrielle Bernstein writes on a single accompanying card, It talks about how to move from being resentful and judgmental (two of my favourite hobbies) into at least being awake enough to stop that inner narrative and forgive myself for it and let it go. To be more happy with my life today instead of waiting for a future, more perfect version. And it does this without really telling the reader what to believe in. That’s up to you and completely open. I really wanted to like this book, but, I didn’t. Something about it didn’t sit right with me. I believe most of the message she is trying to get across, but her delivery was off for me personally. There was a lot of made up religious terminology that reminded me of being in a shaming church. The writing felt judgmental, preachy, religious. It has almost a cult like feeling to it. I also had a problem with her saying to not take massive action on things, but to let it go and trust it will happen. Taken to extreme, this is dangerous. The inspirational messages are perfect for everyday use and they seem to fit with my life really well. If I feel someone needs a message, I will use these along with the Super Attractor oracle cards and give messages that they really need to hear at that moment.

It is my mission to help guide you to know your own certainty. Maybe your faith lies in religious beliefs, or maybe you connect to the Universe when you go for a long run or spend time with your children. I don’t care how you find this connection: all I care about is that you establish a relationship with a higher power of your own understanding. The more energy and intention you bring to your faith, the more fearless and free you will be. Your fearless freedom will light up the world. In the end, irrespective of whether I saw those examples as ‘hardships’ or not, I could relate to the symptoms: anxiety, self-judgment, self-doubt, fear of change, fear or things I can’t predict or control, defensiveness, isolation, judgement of others.
