    <body><![CDATA[I am only a little way in to this book, but I'm liking it. It is not for the woo-woo averse, as it does talk about angels, etc. <br/><br/>What I'm liking about it is that she starts out by saying that to get in touch with the spirit world, you have to first get in touch with your own spirit - by doing the things your spirit loves, the things that make you feel happy and playful and light and good. (Because that lighter/higher vibration gets you on a closer plane to spirit entities.) Just reading this I felt affirmed in a couple of things that I enjoy but don't let myself do because it seems 'silly' or are 'pointless'. Or I do them but I don't let myself enjoy them. Somehow saying 'this is what my spirit likes to do' makes it a little less personal too. As in: heck, it's silly, but you know those spirits...who knows why they like things? It lets me get out of judgment. I'm really used to judging myself, but I wouldn't want to judge my *spirit*. It's just a mental trick but it helped free up some lightness inside me. <br/><br/>Update: I didn't really finish the book...I got stuck on the chapter that said that she asked her angels to help her and they fixed her car. I couldn't get past the physicality of that. Hmmm. An angel with a wrench?]]></body>
