Sylvia Browne's Lessons for Life

I found this book to be just what I needed it to be. Feeling trapped and depressed it bought me back to life and made me realize I am the one in control of my happiness and in how others treat me and in who I allow in my life. Once again I have to hand it to Sylvia, just the fact that positive things are happening to me now, proves to me whatever powers she possesses, she has the power to make me feel good about myself.!!! Isn't that the most important thing in life? Highly recommended reading

Building on the backdrop of her own life and that of a spiritualist psychic medium Browne teaches readers the importance of connecting with their higher self /god through various techniques and meditative practices. Although she references our connection with god, she does so in a non dogmatic fashion. Brownes understanding of this world and the challenges that she has personally faced and conquered, serve as reminder to the reader that we can all overcome life's difficulties by developing our spirituality and strengthening our connection with god. Her techniques and recommendations are designed to lead the reader to a higher understanding of their spiritual self in relation to this world and beyond. A well written and easy to understand book.

This is the second book that I have read that stressed the release of guilt and fear. The first Book was An Encounter With A Prophet. While Brown comes from a Christian viewpoint, Lewis comes from an anti-dogma, spiritual viewpoint. Lewis maintains it is difficult to release guilt and fear while continuing to believe Christian dogma. Brown ignores the dogma and presents some of the same concepts. Regardless of their different approaches it seems that they agree on the need to release both guilt and fear. Try both books one should work for you.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS BUT I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. WHOEVER SYLVIA BROWN SHE IS AMAZING. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING BOOKS I'VE READ IN YEARS. SHE DOESN'T MAKE ANY APOLOGIES FOR HER STRAIGHT FORWARDNESS NOR HER BELIEFS. I QUESTIONED A FEW BUT AFTER FINISHING THE BOOK I'M ANXIOUS TO PICK UP ANOTHER BOOK WRITTEN BY HER. SHE'S SUPPOSEDLY KNOWN AS A PSYCHIC...AND THAT WHOLE PSYCHIC HOOPLA HAS ALWAYS TURNED ME AWAY.. BUT THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HER WRITING THAT RESONATES WITH YOUR SOUL ALMOST AS IF YOUR SOUL RECOGNIZES PURE TRUTH WHEN IT REACHES IT. I SAY PICK IT UP AND GIVE IT A READ, TRUST ME YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.

I agree...NO ONE steals from self-help books. Afterall, they are written with the intention of helping anyone who wishes. I have read a number of Sylvia's books and though I can't say I've enjoyed EVERY one of them, this one resonnates with me. It's a little book written in Sylvia's, matter-of-fact style. She writes as if she were speaking to you and I like this. It is so straight forward...impossible to misunderstand or misinterpret where she is going. Each chapter has written exercises to go along with it. It is my belief that if you DO follow what she tells you to do with these exercises...you WILL find out a lot about who you are and reinforce to yourself who you are NOT. so many of us have had labels lumped upon us through the years...we've accepted things because they may have come from our parents or other loved ones but in reality...we all know in our hearts what our true essences are. This book will help uncover them. I tend to read a whole book before I go back and take it chapter by chapter but I would suggest to others, to follow her instructions to the letter. She hasn't gotten to where she is today by "stealing" from other people's ideas. Yes, a lot of what she does say is common sense...but I don't see a LOT of authors offering it. I rate this book high on my list and will recommend it to the members of my site. It's inexpensive and if you are like me and need something to do at night OTHER than watch TV...try it. You'll make astonishing discoveries. I promise!
