Calling Our Spirits Home: Gateways for Full Consciousness

I had bought Carla's book for a friend in the midst of changing careers in hopes of influencing her to follow her soul's intention with greater self-confidence. I read the book myself in order to have better discussions that I know would arise as she employs the book in her life. Well, I in for a surprise...As a guy who has spent the past half-decade working through personal, emotional pain, feeling I now have a better understand my life (in work, relationship, etc.) I still discovered for myself new paradigms for approaching Life in Calling Our Spirits Home: new ways of looking at the pain and frustrations I still harbor as positive guides toward understanding in relationships, overcoming fears of inadequacy that yet hinder my life's work. In short, I feel I was led to this book through my good intentions to help a friend and was rewarded in kind. The book is simply written and easily understood. Always pertinent, potentially difficult concepts are wonderfully illustrated through examples of many Individuals' struggles and their interpretations leading to eventual understanding and changes for the better. I found the stories easy to relate to since they often pertain to my own life's experiences, and almost always add a new dimension.I know this book will do wonders for my friend as it has already helped me in my Life-Work. I hope it will also help you.

I have really enjoyed reading "Calling Our Spirits Home:Gateways to Full Consciousness" by Carla WoodyI have been on a self-improvement/self-awareness path for the last few years. All things that I have done seem to lead to spirituality. What I have really enjoyed about Carla's book is that it helped me realize that you can have spirituality on your terms. There is no right and wrong. It doesn't matter which path your life has taken you can still improve on it and create the life that was meant to be yours. It was particularly exciting for me because I live in Ohio and enjoyed the Ohio references.

The path of transformation and growth toward wholeness can be a lonely, confusing and sometimes frustrating process. What I got from reading Carla's book was validation that my search, albeit eclectic, was not unusual. The path of spiritual consciousness or return to Source has not felt linear, rational, or logical to me. It has been more like as written on the back of this book, "a maze of possibilities," with numerous stops and starts; blazing new trails where it feels like no one else has gone before, and then often retracing my steps to just start all over again. After turning the last page of the book I had a feeling of being nurtured and validated for my "out of the box" way of searching, and a deep sense of compassion for my personal struggles in answering the Call. This is a book rich with references and resources from others who have traveled this road, a wonderful amalgamation of spiritual wisdom for which I am grateful to have as a "flashlight" to illuminate the course on those dark nights seeking wisdom and guidance.While this book didn't give me the answers to all the questions I've been asking, it did remind me and suggest ways to "live" the questions. And how to live the questions feels more important to me at this stage than the answers. I recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration and/or guidance while trekking the evolutionary path of the soul.
