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. I read this book cover to cover, highlighted, probably 40% of the text, and on top of that took a shit ton of hand written notes.
You might be thinking that avoiding fear is the ultimate goal, but that’s not the case. You have to recognize your real teacher, who is this Universe, and abide by the rules of love and broader understanding. Gabrielle shares her obsession with getting pregnant. She was so worried about the timing that she forgot about love itself. It was a process that was gaining momentum, making her dependent on the outcome and not enjoying the present moment . This arrogance and ignorance, keep us from seeing with the eyes of real wisdom which portrays life as uncertainty to its full extent. Only in a deep state of meditation by connecting to our higher being and God can we truly connect with our inner persona. This beautiful encounter happens through prayer and it will eliminate the fear and anxiety that paralyzed your mind and body for so long. Lesson 2: Before you ask the Universe for whatever it is that you want, you should prepare your mind. In this book, Gabrielle explains how practicing Kirtan Kriya for 12 minutes each day can lift your spirits and put you in a better mood. Also, it will help you understand your intentions which prompt you to take certain actions and decisions. Gabrielle explains to us how we can reap the benefits of being spiritually mature .And yes, it did this with examples that made me clench my fists and need to take rant breaks (the story about having a meltdown during yoga class? Really?) and listing examples I just couldn’t see as real turmoil (not being invited to an acquaintance’s – who she spends some time trashing- birthday. Gee, her life is hard). Once there, she excused herself and walked into an isolated small room on the second floor to find her inner shelter. The dark cloud of thoughts was washed away as she entered a blissful state of mind by connecting with the divine. Let’s delve into it. Sigmund Freud did a couple of tests to understand why some people prefer not to get out of their state of discomfort. Sigmund Freud realized that his patients weren’t getting any better and concluded that there was some inner resistance that prevented them from transforming. I don't like when people imply that unimaginably horrible things were brought into your life because you weren't positive enough - sometimes life is horrible and hard and no amount of positive thinking will undo the terrible. However, very often 'this too shall pass' and we find, even though it may never be 'fixed', things get a little easier every day. That's a good time for this book.
I won't get too personal but I wanted a little guidance and this book was good. A lot of it is Gabby explaining how something happened to her and this is how she found a new way of looking at things and that improved the situation. The rest of the text fell rather flat for me. Many of the instructional lessons were lifted straight from A Course in Miracles, with not a lot new brought to the ideas. The personal examples felt a little shallow to me. I'm not really sure who this author was or what she wanted out of life. It’s taken 36 years and many past lives for me to own these beliefs fully. And today I can say with full conviction that my certainty is the greatest blessing I have ever received.
In the last chapter, Gabrielle shares her obsession to get pregnant. She was so worried about the timing that she forgot about love itself. It was a process that was gaining momentum, making her dependent on the outcome, and not enjoying the present moment.
