Attractions Books

I'm a huge fan of Deanna and of her mission to positively impact the world. This book brings her one step closer to realizing that dream, and is a must-read for anyone who could especially use an uplifting coach in their corner. I couldn't put my copy down because it was entertaining, engaging, and enlightening. I also gave a copy to my mother, who is seeing herself and her life in a new light because of Deanna's compassionate and motivating words. Eternal Thanks!!!

that this book will enlighten me. I'm proud to say that I have had the privilege of attending Dr. Davis' seminars. She writes as she is - truly genuine and enthusiastic with a gift for speaking (in person or in word) as if she knows you as a friend. I've just ordered my book and am excited for this "new chapter" in learning more on how to manifest my miracles.

Sending Gratitude to Deanna for a well written practical, down to earth guide on how to put The Law of Attraction in Action! The witty stories and matter of fact easy approach to getting started in manifesting your dreams is a must read. Each step is laid out and approachable for the novice as well as the serious student of this important body of work. Kudos to you Deanna.

I was excited to hear that my dear friend Deanna Davis has written yet another book - and this one she has hit out of the ball park! Who doesn't want to be surrounded by great people, great things, and great successes! Deanna is all of that great people, with great energy, and am blessed to have her in my world! The Law of Attraction in Action provided me with some additional ideas, and steps to make my world better for me (and daughter)...since I am the one in the drivers seat! Thanks Deanna - you rock girlfriend!

Deanna Davis's book makes the reader feel they are sitting in the kitchen with her -drinking tea and soaking up her wisdom, humor and panache. This book soulfully and scientifically reveals easy-to-follow step for implementing the Law of Attraction in Action in everyone's life. This book is a gem, its my "go-to" gift idea for everyone, for every occasion! Deanna - you are a beacon of light and inspiration, thank you!

When I started reading "Love's Secret: Live Your Life in Love" I knew very quickly that this book was more than just the usual self-help book. The author not only counsels people about love, but she lives the principles herself. The cover of the book depicts this perfectly as it is a picture of Lawrence and her husband, the love of her life.

The book is broken into twelve Love's Secrets. These include: commit to love, clear beliefs, developing trust, open your heart, vision for love, love habits, create a safe place, keep passion alive, focus on love, celebrate love, rituals of love and create support. Each chapter addresses the topic of choice and Lawrence tells patient stories to get her point across. At the close of most of the chapters are Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) exercises. These are used to clear emotional energy and blocks from the body. The author describes this exercise best "This technique includes tapping on nine major points that correlate to the energy meridians that traverse the body. When we either deny or ignore emotions, that we are uncomfortable with, these emotions get stuck and cause both emotional and physical reactions." During each exercise you will begin by making a statement and then tap on the correlated emotional center. An illustration in the appendix shows you exactly where to begin the tapping.

I found the chapters to be very useful not only in relationships, but also in helping to get in touch with myself so that I can be completely open in a relationship. I read the book straight through but plan to take Lawrence's advice and go back and spend time working on each chapter by reading, journaling and performing the EFT exercises. My favorite chapter was Secret Number 11 - Creating Rituals. I will not spoil the chapter by describing the rituals, but suffice it to say that they should spice up even the dullest relationships!

When Lawrence is not writing, she is running her retreat center in Sedona, Arizona. There are personal, group and couples' retreats held in Sedona, California and Hawaii. I went to the website, www.retreatandheal.com, and the retreats sound wonderful and healing. I am definitely putting the personal retreat on my own personal to-do list. I highly recommend "Love's Secret: Live Your Life in Love" to anyone who is thinking about going into a relationship or already in one. The techniques taught here will assist in making your relationship the best that it can be.

Abuse, molestation, abandonment, neglect, emotional isolation - we are all familiar with the realities of childhood trauma. For those who have experienced them, such events have left indelible emotional, spiritual, or psychological scars. As a result of the pain, traumatized children become ill-adjusted adults, still struggling to maneuver through the maze of everyday life with limited trust and faith as their guides.

Nowhere is this reality more manifest than in the world of interpersonal relationships, particularly love. An often mercurial and confusing practice, the act of loving someone is made more difficult by unresolved emotional conflict that restricts our ability to open ourselves fully to such an unknown, unpredictable concept. Add to that the uncertainty of trusting the innocence of another individual's motives (especially if such trust were a major factor in childhood trauma), and it becomes nearly impossible to imagine ever knowing and embracing true love for one's own.

Enter Love's Secret: an informative, enlightening tome by Annie Lawrence. Reading like an expert how-to guide to spiritual harmony, Love's Secret is an insightful, integrative manual designed to address the realities of childhood trauma head-on in an effort to reconcile lingering pain and trust issues once and for all for the sake of emotional healing and spiritual well-being.

Most refreshing about Love's Secret is that Lawrence does more than offer simple platitudes or vague, general nuggets of advice. Instead, she provides the reader with specific case histories of individuals with a range of underlying emotional trauma, addressing each individual situation with a detailed analysis of its true cause/nature, as well as the particular solution best suited to resolve it. In an age of cookie-cutter self-help gurus, such a focused, personalized technique is both welcome and refreshing. Moreover, by including a broad base of subjects in her observations, Lawrence presents a kaleidoscopic collection of humanity, ensuring that her message will be received by a broad cross-section of individuals from all walks of life.

From illustrative guidance to helpful quotes to practical everyday exercises, Love's Secret is a balm for wounded souls everywhere. Highly recommended.

Although Lawrence's book has many of the same guidelines for success as other books, she adds something a bit different too. It's technique called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT.

EFT is a tool used to clear away emotional patterns and beliefs by tapping (yes, literally) on parts of your body. The locations are illustrated in the book. Tapping clears your energy field. The exercise also includes visualization techniques and affirmations.

The book centers on couples, but is directed at removing fear and fear based actions that sabotage relationships. Singles can benefit from the principles taught such as how to clear money fears, creating a vision for love, and remove the fear of commitment.

If you ask me if it works, I'd have to say it depends on the individual. If you believe the mind can be reconditioned, then yes. Maybe I sound a bit cynical, but it's been my experience these types of books are only as powerful as the person's desire to change.

When I started the road to self-improvement, I had become sick and tired of who and what I had become. So if I was told that I'd have to dress up in a pink flamingo outfit and handout flyers to the alligators that said "Eat Me!" I would have. Luckily LOVE'S SECRET doesn't have something like that in the guidelines, but some of the exercises can be perceived to be as uncomfortable or frightening. It's all about taking risks and getting out of the self-destructive cycle. Lawrence's book is easy to understand and covers problems that hold couples back from genuine happiness. It's a book I'd highly recommend.

Love's Secret Live Your Life in Lovewas awarded finalist in USA Book News in self-help relationship. It is a book that all couples can benefit from that want more love and passion.

Annie Lawrence is ready to share her 12 secrets to living a life full of love and purpose in her new book, Love's Secret. She focuses intensely on the relationship and what it takes to make the union one of positive growth and support. Not only can we grow as a couple in relationship, but also develop as a person emotionally and spiritually. Lawrence's writing is truly magnetic and her ability to connect with the reader is superior. If you are ready to walk away with a great deal more knowledge than before, it's definitely time to begin this particular journey.

Relationships can bring out personal fears; humbling "fall to your knees" type of fear. We are faced with aspects of intimacy and self knowledge that can be challenging to address. Intimacy is scary to some who may not feel familiar with it, especially in childhood. Relationships can also force us to acknowledge shadows in ourselves that are sometimes difficult to see. We must make a commitment in relationship to attend to our core issues that we develop in youth. "Core issues created in your childhood are the magnetic pull that draws you toward your perfect partner in order to begin your healing journey." It is a place where our life's work begins if we remain committed to growth and healing.

In Love's Secret, Lawrence discusses a process called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). "EFT is an effective tool to clear away emotional patterns and beliefs in the emotional body and energy meridians in your physical body." It includes tapping areas of the body that "correlate to energy meridians" and using affirmations of self acceptance, love and forgiveness. The author extends resources for readers wanting to learn more.

As she continues through each secret, she shares her own personal experiences, as well as the experiences of clients who benefitted from the 12 secrets. The author writes of healing, which is basically the spiritual journey of life. We are here to face our core issues, love, and heal. First, however, we must clear our belief system. "Preprogrammed beliefs and patterns passed on to you through your environment and families are your life lessons." We must take time for inner reflection and find what is true for us. What patterns exist? It is a path for the brave of heart to seek out a healing of spirit. Lawrence recommends journaling so that we become more aware of our moods, thoughts, and habits that can sabotage our greatest intentions. Her questions posted after each secret are quite helpful to gain a better understanding of where we are and where we want to be.

To become vulnerable enough to take an honest look at ourselves, we must develop trust in ourselves, the relationship, and in a loving universe. Being able to give up our need to control everything is where change begins. According to the author, this is where we own our true power. Sometimes in childhood, we learn to close our hearts as a self protective device. This soul journey can only be done with an open heart...a heart open to intimacy. As our issues surface, we focus on our healing, and life is anew with each resolved issue.

With increased awareness, we are ready to create a new vision of love. "Meditation and yoga had taught them (Judy and Larry) how to access their inner wisdom. This gave them a mutual tool for connecting to their heart to access their heart's desires." We are ready to share our dreams and truly hear what our partner desires and envisions.

Love's Secret goes on to share valuable wisdom through the remaining secrets addressed. This wisdom can change a life and it can change the world as we see it. True change begins within and cannot help but transform the world. Annie Lawrence is a healer of relationships and injured spirits. This is truly her contribution of guidance. She urges her readers to look beyond the surface of daily living into the spiritual aspects of healing the pain that can control the lives we've created. We can reach beyond the pain, from a healed heart, into the passion of divine possibilities. Love's Secret is for the couple and the spirit seeking more love and greater peace. It is a significant source of comfort and counsel.

Annie B. Lawrence is obviously a great teacher. Her book contains everything you need to let go of the old and prepare yourself to bring new love into your life. Love's Secret is filled with exercises and examples that make everything clear and simple yet life changing. I feel so much love in my life after reading and experiencing her book. Thank you, Annie.

Like any book in this genre this book will not actually help you unless your "motivated" to change your own behavior. It's simple, easy to read, and practical. It shows you the keys to changing your perspective on on how motivation actually works in yourself and others. I enjoyed it.

Being a cardiac rehab nurse and spending a lot of time each day trying to get people to change their lifestyles to create better health, this book caught my eye. After reading it, I found the principles instantly useful for me to use at work. They can help anyone get motivated to get past the barriers that keep them from making changes to improve their health. Additionally, the book is short and to the point which is good for a busy Mom like myself.

Along with helping to build my motivation, this little book was straight to the point and very easy to read. In this short story, the author combines his personal experience, and research to convey the importance of motivation through how ready the person is to change their daily habits for the better. The author tells about the patients he encountered during an internship opportunity and how change (no matter how big or small) helped them become motivated to do better. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels as if small change wouldn't be significant in their life. This book would dramatically change their opinion and make them want to strive for a better lifestyle. The Sixty-Second Motivator offers its readers simple steps (referred to as "secrets") to follow through with their improvement. It was enjoyable to read and very eye opening!

I read this short book within a space of an hour. It is straight to the point, and is written in the style of a story. The author is a Physical Therapist and tells the story of when he was a student and he visited a senior Physical Therapist in a hospital as part of his training. He learned how to motivate someone within 60 seconds to undertake therapy by increasing importance + confidence in the patient. Although this book was essentially about how someone was able to increase his patients' motivation, this can also be applied to other areas of your life - for any goal. It is an easily understandable read and if you are looking for a way to increase motivation quick then look no further than this book.

This is a great book for anyone to learn about how to motivate yourself or others. It's in a very simple story format without a lot of exercises like other self-help books. Very good book - I highly recommend it to anyone that needs to know more about motivation.

This book is great for those who are trying to find that special someone but keep attracting the wrong person. Dr. Sherman takes the dating process to a whole new level by getting to the core of the issue- ourselves. She teaches us how we often get in our own way when it comes to dating and that we must begin the process by first knowing ourselves. Her clever approach allows us to date consciously to attract the one we are most looking for.

I had recently returned to the scary world of dating - this book was just
what I needed to get off the couch and into the world again!

"Dating From the Inside Out" is a profound and important book. Unlike most relationship books out there, this book identifies the real reasons why so many relationships burn and crash.

As we grow, we form unconscious ideas of who we are, of who people are in general, and of how we understand the world, We use these patterns to pick mates without even knowing what the patterns really are.

Dr. Sherman helps you identify the patterns, change them when they are counterproductive, and combine these new productive patterns with the practical strategies that will make healthy relationships bloom. BRAVO!

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

At first glance, I thought that this dating book was written by a woman for women. It ain't so. The principles espoused apply to men as well as women. In the future, know yourself, like yourself and be yourself will be the golden rule for all of my relationships.

A good read. Well worthwhile.

MK

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is actually more of a workbook and the exercises in it help guide you through the thorny world of dating. Though some of the advice has been covered before in other books, the exercises are new to me. They can help you look inside of yourself to find out what may be blocking you in your love life. The book also helps you define what you are really looking for in a mate.

If you are willing to do the sometimes difficult work of introspection, I think this book can help you achieve your dreams and if you don't meet that special someone, it will at least uplift you and give you clarity around who you are as a person.

Thank you thank you thank you... I listen to this each morning at work.. its a wonderful way to start my day!

These "songs" are great! A new way got get your spiritual teachings - with a beat, with a groove, with a swirl. Enjoy Abraham with a new fun twist!

At first I wasn't sure if I liked the music, but after I listened to it a couple of times. I decided I really do love it.

I have got to say- there is no cd in my collection that I listen to as often as I listen to this one. What Scott Raposa was able to do with Esther and Abraham is amazing. He takes those little bits of Abraham that you wish you could hear over and over so you'd have a chance to really absorb them, and mixes them into the most beautiful, trance-inducing music.

Let me just tell you- I listen to this cd on my way to work and back, so instead of cursing NYC traffic, I'm focused on segment intentions for an amazing day. I work out to the cd first thing in the morning and literally lose myself in the music, which has lead to this weird thing of actually ENJOYING a workout. I play it on my ipod at work and when my boss is showing me some serious contrast ;), I just let go and breath through it.

I know I'm gushing at this point, but I just have to say that ANYONE who even has a SLIGHT interest in the teachings of Abraham NEEDS this cd. It's just that great. And I am waiting with bated breath for the second disc.

This is quite possibly the coolest album I've ever owned. It takes some of the most powerful quotes from Abraham and entwines them in cutting edge electronica. "Leading Edge Music - Leading Edge Thought"

When I first found this album I scoffed at the idea, because so often when inspirational verse is set to music, it tends to sound like an infomercial soundtrack. But once I listened to the samples on the Abraham-Hicks website, I was sold. This music is bold, futuristic, energizing, and at the same time soothing and hypnotic. It's the perfect envelope for Abraham's uplifting voice, and well suited for many different activities. I have a copy in my home, my car, and my iPod. I listen to it while driving, exercising, working, cleaning, relaxing... just about anything.

I have studied the Teachings of Abraham for many years and while I love it, I have admittedly strayed from it a few times. It's just so easy to become distracted with "what-is" and fall back into patterns of resistance. But this album has given me a powerful way to stay focused, a daily dose of Abraham in a fun and inspiring format. It keeps me on track when I might otherwise drift away and lose sight of Source.

I highly recommend this album. It's a small investment that will pay huge dividends in your vibration, well-being, and point of attraction.

I have taken several classes from Eva Gregory and Jeanna Gabellini
over the last 5 years and love them both. I have read much from Jack
Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson so this book is very special to me.
Every lesson rings with me and the lessons at the end of each life
story are complete ideas to try and use. Lots of inspiration and
insight from great Laws of Attraction teachers.

This is a very good book and highly recommend to anyone. I love all Jack's books, all his books are easy reading. This book is wrote simple and easy. It will help you and take you to the next level in your life.

This book is fun, practical, easy to read and tremendously inspiring! I have studied the law of attraction for many years--and this was a great read! It inspired me to keep a Prosperity Journal and keep visioning the future I want. I will be buying many copies for my friends and family.

Thank you!

I was pleasantly surprised when I received my copy of this newest Chicken Soup for the Soul Book. Not only does it have inspiring stories throughout, there are practical exercises to use, to increase our ability to use the Law of Attraction.

This is an inspiring, educational and helpful book.

What if using the Law Of Attraction could be easy and fun?
What if you had simple ways to practice all day long?
What if you had all of these ways in one book?

Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction provides all of these things and more. These amazing stories are chock full of simple and easy tools that you can take, apply and make part of your life. Many of The Secret teachers show up in this book, which is a gift in itself. You will also be introduced to other LOA masters that you may not have heard of before. Do yourself a big favor and pick this book up. It just may be the best money you've ever spent, especially if you put into practice what you read.

Carol's new book is refreshing blend of science, stories and advice. It's a fast read -- yet full of thoughtful questions and counsel for women (and men) of any age. I especially loved the Passion Principle Cliff Notes at the end. Thank you, Carol!

As i read Dr. Cassell's book i realized that it contains valuable information primarily for females but much can be learned by the male partner. This book is well written with well researched backup and presented with a style and humor that keeps one reading. My adult son who is in a new relationship after a divorce was perusing the book and started laughing when he read the passage ,no one can ever know what goes on in someone elses head, and said "boy is that true". It is presented so well as are many passages in Cassells' book. Since I am an older person. yes even elderly, I responded well to Take Away Messages and body images---they do suck but now I just throw myself a kiss . I have purchased two books and plan to pass them on to my adult children

**************************************************
In Carol Cassell's easily read book, PUT PASSION FIRST, I found chapters and passages for women of all ages.

After our children left home and my husband and I were in retirement, I realized we had no boundaries in our home, no space to be alone, to read, to write or even a quiet moment to think. The TV was always on for noise as much as for watching. I realized I wanted a more quiet lifestyle and decided we had to have boundaries. It was Cassell's book in the chapter of "Alone Together" that showed me how to make this happen. Kahil Gibran's words of "Let there be spaces in your togetherness" took on a special meaning.

My daughter, who recently survived a divorce, took an interest in the chapter, "Just Be You and Love Like You've Never Been Hurt'. She's in an exciting relationship with a loving man and is trying to do that very thing.

I gave my granddaughter, who is grieving over a lost love, Cassell's book and pointed out to her the chapter, "When He Says Those Fatal Words". After she read it, she looked at me and said, "This makes things better."

Cassell's book is down-to-earth-everyday-living. All of us, in every stage of loving, should read it.

With Put Passion First, Dr. Carol Cassell, a major contributor to the field of women's sexual health, has written another winner. In her charming and personable writing style, Dr. Cassell has distilled the science of sexual desire into a comprehensive set of truths about how to love a man and be loved by him. She rejects the notion that sexual enthusiasm naturally dies out in a relationship and that companionate love is our long-term destiny. Instead, Dr. Cassell places sexual chemistry front and center of what keeps a couple's bond solid. Sounding very much like the wise and experienced girlfriend who can support her observations with scientific research, Dr. Cassell offers sound advice for every woman eager to understand quite a bit more about how to be happy with a man.

Carol Cassell is a wise, compassionate, informative, witty guide who can help you find the unique sources of your own sexual passion. I've been recommending her earlier book to clients for years--and this book is definitely new good news if you want to put yourself and your relationship first. The Heart and Soul of Sex: Making the ISIS Connection (Shambhala Pocket Classics)

"The Success of Robert Fitzgibbons" is the fictional tale of a very good kid who follows the wishes of his parents and people around him and later comes to regret not following his own dreams. Robert was good at sports, won spelling bees, got all A's in school, and always obeyed his parents. One thing Robert really loved was playing his guitar, but he quit when someone told him it would not take him far. He went to college and studied hard because his parents wanted him to. All the while he was wishing he could be playing the guitar in his buddy Ernie's band. As he grew older he began to wish that he had followed his dreams instead of doing what other people said he should do.

This picture book is very pleasing to read because of the rhythm and the rhyme. It is silly and the full-page illustrations are lively, too. I liked how he expressed Robert's feelings of being trapped when he wrote, "I want to jump in a lake or climb up a tree, not spend all day doing geometry." I think most kids can relate to this feeling!

While the purpose of this book is to get the reader to follow his or her dreams, some readers might think that following a dream means doing exactly what you want, whenever you want, ignoring good advice. I think that Robert Fitzgibbons could have followed his dream to play his guitar in a band and gone to college, too. The author does well to encourage the reader to not "march to the beat of someone else's drummer, because not doing what you want makes life a real bummer." I'm not sure if "The Success of Robert Fitzgibbons" is more likely to get kids to follow their dreams or to tell their moms that they aren't going to do any more schoolwork.

Too many of us have had our dreams dashed by the authority figures in our lives. We have been told our dreams are stupid or silly, so we stop pursuing them. Eric helps us to see that we can follow our dreams at any age. This is a great book for building children's self-esteem, which is so needed in today's world. I wish there had been books like this when my children were small.

I have two children (ages 3 and 4) and find there are surprisingly few books that they enjoy listening, I enjoy reading and that have good lessons.

This story let's children (and reminds parents) to let children follow their own dreams versus the expectations of others.

I look forward to future books about Robert Fitzgibbons.

Other favorite books for reference are Ms. Twiggley's Tree House, How the Jester Lost his Jingle, The Gardener, Andrew Henry's Meadow.

My three children recieved signed copies of this book from their favorite aunt, my sister. After reading one of the copies while waiting in the doctor's office I was pleasantly reminded that we need to follow our hearts. The need to remind adults to instill this process in our children is certainly accomplished in this captivating book.

Mediation for Everyday living is a book for everyone. It truly made meditation something I could do. I was always daunted by closing my eyes and going within and Michele makes it fun. I recommend this book for the holidays, it is a great gift to give the beginner and the expert. I am so glad I picked up this book!! Thank you and blessings- David Brown

Michele's book is truly a fine tool for incorporating meditation practice into everyday living..and that has made a huge, positive difference in my life. The meditations, refelections, and teaching are clear, genuine and heart-felt. Rather than making meditation an isolated, internal process, this book shows how you can live a meditative life in all that you do and thus access moment by moment the deep power you possess. Indeed, if more people followed these practices, the world would live in an elevated state.

Michele meich has written a helpful and insightful book for those interested in developing and expanding their awareness of the consciousness that exists beyond that of the busy and materially driven world. This state exists as a reality and the book that encompasses Michele's inspirational insights provides a great source of techniques for developing inner awareness and helping people to reach a state of eqilibrium in which mind, body and spirit become centered. As a result, they can make great changes in their lives and experience being in the pressent moment in joy and fulfillment. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it

This book will change you life, Michelle approach to living from this state has transformed my meditation practice while at Work, car anywhere you simply turn with-in and remember the breath. The format ,writing is so easy to get you will have a practice down.

This book is the best spiritual food I have ever read.

This is one of the best books i have ever read on meditation !!! Michele makes meditation so easy !!! It is great for the person who is on the go and doesn't have the time to meditate for hours ... After just a few short minutes of doing just one of her meditations I feel a complete shift in my energy.A sense of calm and peace replaces the stress and anxiety i usually walk around with.Thank God for this book !!!! Its a life saver !!Its a tool I always carry with me !!! LB.

Abraham's teachings are presented in a very unique way in the Sara books. Looking out from a young girl's eyes and mind and seeing the law of attraction in action, being contemplated and understood, is a wonderful experience. I adored every page of all 3 Sara books and highly recommend them to young and old alike.

Another amazing book from Esther Hicks. A well written, easy to read book full of LOA information. Very easy to understand, even for children as young as 10. I loved the whole series and can't wait for the next book!

Don't be misled by the simplicity of the story -- the message is very wise, very much Higher Self. Recommended for all ages.

Excellent! Everyone of all ages needs to read this work. It really helps to understand the Law of Attraction in terms you REALLY understand and can start using in your life.

The Sara series by Esther & Jerry Hicks is a must read for children and adults alike who want to attract everything that they want in their lives! I thoroughly enjoyed this set of 3 books and want my grandchildren to read them!
