Synopsis

Connecting with the divine is crucial for spiritual advancement, but choosing a spiritual path is anything but easy.

Amy Elizabeth Garcia simplifies the journey to enlightenment into thirty-three spiritual goals, such as finding your life purpose, developing trust in the universe, relinquishing the need to control, recognizing synchronicity, and fostering peace. Focusing on a specific spiritual lesson, each chapter begins with a divine message from the author's spiritual master that includes stories from his human incarnations. Garcia goes a step further in bringing these concepts to life by sharing her own life experiences. Every chapter includes a prayer inspired by angels and exercises for spiritual growth-the perfect complement to this beginner's guide to enlightenment.

From Publishers Weekly:

A better title for this book might be "How I Reached Enlightenment." Garcia, a Reiki master and founder of the Spiritual Awareness Network, has put together a very personal narrative. She combines 33 channeled messages from her spiritual contact, Jahallah, an entity from the causal plane, with reflections on her own life and journeys, Angel prayers and simple exercises. Through Garcia, Jahallah illustrates a variety of topics such as adventure, non-resistance and synergy, by recalling events from several of his incarnations in our world. Garcia has an unbridled enthusiasm for her chosen field, and metaphysicists used to sharing their experiences will appreciate her candor and sincerity. While she maintains an impeccably consistent chapter format, including a space to note three ways to incorporate the lesson into everyday life, her ideas sometimes have a discomfiting naïveté about them and may not be practical in today's world. Also, the suggestion to practice support by "accompany(ing) your spouse on an outing that interests him..." becomes disingenuous with the added advice to "act like you are enjoying yourself." Devoid of any introduction to the concept of channeling or engaging of Angel guides, this book is best for readers with at least a cursory experience with metaphysics. (June)
