Authored by spiritual writer, Mark Thurston, this book offers guidance resources which come from both the external world around us and our own intuitive voices.  The resources are designed to assist us in making decisions in an often chaotic and confusing world. Thurston employs the principle of synchronicity (coincidences with meaning) defined by eminent psychologist, Carl Jung, decades ago. The author maintains that synchronicity is a universal, connecting law that allows us to be responsibly involved with the physical world but equally responsive to the invisible spiritual realm. Synchronicity provides noteworthy guidance by presenting us with a remarkable match of our outer life events with a profound intuitive sense that in this match something meaningful and revelatory is at work in our life experiences.  Synchronicity reassures us that we are not alone in navigating our life issues rather that we are connected to an ordered force or spiritual influence at work in our lives.  Thurston teaches us numerous methods to be alert to synchronicity.  A complex yet inspiring read for those seeking a tutorial on this fascinating subject!

In her amazing, uplifting book, Bernstein teaches us her method to transform fear to faith in our quest to manifest our dreams. In her own life experience, the author hoping to rid herself of habitual “panic attacks,” had an enlightened moment where she realized through meditation and journaling, that her panic attacks were the result of her unconscious resistance to love and freedom; that her inner resistance to happiness had created a lingering darkness in her thoughts. Bernstein’s book takes us on a journey from fear and limitation to light and empowerment.  A really enjoyable book!

This book provides 200 Mini-Meditations designed for instant Manifestations. Based on the Law of Attraction, the author credits her own personal and professional success
to her belief that “what we think determines what we experience.”  The book is a spiritual guide and resource for positive manifestations.  Each of the 200 affirmations is designed to help one rise above fear and focuses on one single emotional word like “powerless” or “disappointed” or “alienated” etc.  Prout’s message to her readers is that we manifest through our connection to the Universe and by empowering our emotions to create the life of our dreams.  Dear Universe, is a great inspirational read!
