You Own the Power: Stories And Exercises To Inspire And Unleash The Force Within

The New York Times bestselling author of Proud Spirit and The Eagle and the Rose teaches us how to unleash the spiritual force within us.

As spiritual beings having a human experience, each of us comes into this world endowed with breathtaking gifts. We may have the power of intuition...the power to sense the invisible world around us...the power to create healing energy. All that we need is a wise teacher to turn the handle, so we can open the door to what lies within us.

Rosemary Altea is that teacher. She has guided thousands of students in their quest for self-empowerment. Now she shows all of us how to unblock and develop our gifts through simple, effective, and proven exercises. We learn how to release stress and find peace, locate our energy and build it up, and tune in to our sixth sense. But this groundbreaking work of self-empowerment is more than a how-to manual: woven into its fabric are miraculous stories of the spirit world, including the author's coversations with those who have departed this sphere. And it contains the wisest lesson of all: before we can communicate with the invisible forces around us, we must first learn to communicate with ourselves.

So i would recomend this if you want to open your mind a little, but not if you're an expert on the spirituality subject.

If you want to know more about the powers within and you've never explored this part of yourself before, then this just might be the book for you. If however, you've delved into this area before, you'll find it wishy washy and wished that the author would just get to the point! With that in mind, I found it rather boring. I'm not one for books that tell me all about the authors life stories and I certainly didn't learn anything new. Definitely a book for people who are looking for a starting point in this subject.

I purchased this book and one by Wayne Dyer at the same time. Mr Dyers book was worth every penny. In comparison, this one seemed very amateur. I kept reading hoping for something phenomenal to catch my attention but nothing ever did. It was boring from beginning to end and I got absolutely nothing out of it. If you really want to be amazed read some books by Wayne Dyer.

Some people say this book is a waste of time and that you can make things happen by thinking about it. These people are too short sighted to look inside themselves and believe. Rosemary talks about being "at home". I believe that is half of the struggle is believing and being conscious of our surroundings. I've had trouble with the exercises in the book. They are intensive and are not able to be done quickly. They aren't easy and they're not meant to be. Learning about ourselves is never easy. For me, just picking up the book and reading it, I've had the strangest sensations. I e-mailed Rosemary about it and she said many people have written to her expressing similar things. Don't expect miracles like being able to freely talk to loved ones who have passed, but expect insight into yourself and your life and the possibilities of the afterlife as Rosemary tells it. I recommend this book for anyone willing to believe in her writings in "The Eagle in the Rose" and the "Proud Spirit". This book is definitely worth a try. I am definitely a believer now.
