review 1: I was really hoping for more original ideas in this book. Out of 108 lessons almost all of them came from the authors friends, yoga teacher, or A Course in Miracles book.One of the big issues I had with this book was that it came across very self promoting. The hashtags after every chapter got old very quick. It felt like about half of the lessons instructed you to go to the authors website. Instead of having to go to her website I would have prefered the author to just include the information in the book. The material tended to repeat itself, just rewording the lessons to make them seem new.I feel like this book is tailored to someone who has never explored anything to do with meditation, positive thinking, yoga etc. With that being said the author missed key inform... moreation that beginers would need to know in some of the lessons (example: The "Breath of Fire" exercise should not be done by women who are pregnant or during the first two days of her menstrual cycle).
review 2: I received a complementary copy of this book from Hay House for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.When I attended Hay House’s recent I Can Do It conference in Denver I was browsing Gabrielle Bernstein’s “Miracles Now: Tools for Less Stress, More Flow, and Finding Your True Purpose” at the bookstore. “I was so hoping to hear Gabby speak today,” said a woman in her 20′s next to me, disappointed that Bernstein’s appearance at the conference had been cancelled. “Gabby is reaching the younger generation with her message,” she said. Having listened to Bernstein’s Hay House radio program in the past I said, “I like her, too, and I’m old!” But I had never read any of Bernstein’s books. Until now.Miracles Now does indeed appeal to the young and old with its practical, easy to understand spiritual lessons. Divided into 108 short chapters (most one or two pages), I liked reading a few pages after my morning meditation, and a few more in the evening before going to bed. Bernstein, very much in tune with social media, has a inspirational quote at the end of each chapter just perfect to summarize the topic and to share with your twitter followers. I sent out on my twitter feed the ones that had the most impact on me, such as: “People who value themselves attract people who value them, too.” — Kate Northrup #MiraclesNow The key to getting what you want is to ASK FOR IT. #MiraclesNow I surrender my desires & I know the Universe has my back. #MiraclesNow You don’t need to find your purpose.Your purpose will find you. #MiraclesNowIs twitter not your thing? You can “pin it, post it to Facebook, or pass it along on Instagram” instead, says Gabby.In the lessons she shares Bernstein draws from two primary sources: insights from A Course In Miracles and from her Kundalini yoga practice. In my experience A Course In Miracles can be difficult to understand on your own. Bernstein explains it in simpler terms. The Course “is a metaphysical self-taught curriculum based on the principle that when we choose love over fear we experience miraculous change,” she says. The Kundalini exercises were new to me and most were easy to follow (this old guy didn’t try the one where Gabby recommends standing on your head for one minute, however :-) )Bernstein’s practical and straight forward spiritual exercises reminded me of the writing of Louise Hay – Gabby is that good. “When you are called to share the spiritual awareness you now have, don’t hesitate to speak up. Be the lighthouse. In your light, others will become illuminated,” Bernstein concludes in the final pages. Reading Miracles Now gave me encouragement to spread my own light, as well as a bevy of simple spiritual tools for me to use now and in the future. less
