"Some books, once read, resonate with a powerful truth, leaving you with a perfect moment of utter clarity and you realize if you'd known about this long ago, the knowledge would have made it so much easier to deal with various issues and crises, and outcomes would probably have been accepted with a lot more grace and understanding. Spiritual Turning Points: A Metaphysical Perspective of the Seven Life Transitions, left me with just such a realization. The writing is fluid, concise, and compassionate...and affected me in ways I am still reflecting upon. I highly recommend this intriguing book for anyone who wants an understanding of why and how we choose to weave the myriad tiny threads that become the tapestry of our life". - Tessa Jones, author of psychological suspense and young adult fiction
Victoria Marina-Tompkins offers up plenty of metaphysical food for thought in this in-depth look at the spiritual transitions humans engage in from birth to death, including the “terrible twos” and the “mid-life crisis.” She discusses each turning point in an easy to read style, and uses her years of experience and a multitude of perspectives to strengthen her points. Astrology and soul-level viewpoints are incorporated, but Ms. Marina-Tompkins has a knack for well-rounded representation, and also includes psychology, anthropology, shamanism, cultural studies, historical examples, and personal stories from clients to give readers a holistic sense of each phase and the different ways it can manifest in individual lives. Focusing on the process of life through this breadth of frameworks, Ms. Marina-Tompkins has created a fascinating collection of information that isn’t limited to one metaphysical area. Its appeal should stretch across a range of spiritual interests. - Melanie Thorne, Author
This book, Spiritual Turning Points: A Metaphysical Perspective of the Seven Life Transitions, looks at life and how it works using the concepts of shamanism, astrology and reincarnation as its foundation. Life isn't just physical, it's also spiritual.
I highly recommend this book, particularly to those studying metaphysics. I found the book a very pleasant read and very hard to put down. It's structure is sound, the flow is smooth and the temperament warm.
What you get here is the scoop on birth, life and death, not just for the physical body, but what the soul wants (and gets) from all of it too. Sprinkle in some goals, a dash of karma and throw in some astrological planetary movements to keep the play and scene changes interesting. Nothing is static; everything is movement.
Like the title says, there are seven transitions in all: birth, the "terrible twos," adolescence, the mid-life crisis, life review, dying, and death. It's through these transitions (also called monads) that our greatest lessons are learned. Transitions are rough and can be terrifying. Forewarned is forearmed, however; we learn we're not out of control, we're being challenged. We get to choose how we accept and use our spiritual turning points. Choice is good and sometimes, just realizing that we always have a choice is a blessing.
