Soul Coaching: 28 Days to Discover Your Authentic Self (Book)

I found some surprises for myself in these pages - initially I bought the book to assist some clients in their quest for living a life with intention. To my surprise, there were many areas of my life that I can change to also help me live with intention. It's an easy read with many steps to take in reaching a goal in life. It's part journal and part self-therapy. It supports the "process" of making changes deliberately and "soulfully". I recommend this to women, therapists, counselors, and anyone who is looking to make some changes in their life, their living situation, their life work.

This book is quintessential Denise Linn. I have taken numerous classes with Denise and know her to be an extraordinarily wise, authentic and caring human being. She has been a positive influence in my life and on my work as an author.I meantion this because you can trust that she really loves to help people--and that this book is the real thing. Soul Coaching is a program designed to help you discover your authentic self. The book is divided into activities based on the Four Elements (of which we are comprised): Fire, Water, Earth and Air. The book is filled with practical advice--for example, physical clutter must be removed to clear one's mind and to get to know the real you. There are inspiring daily affirmations that build self love. Most importantly, this book teaches how to manifest the future of your dreams. This includes projecting yourself in the future and how that would feel. Call it the law of attraction or manifesting your life...it works!

This book is a gem. Denise Linn is one of the top international teachers in spiritual and self-development. This programme is an excellent culmination of Denise's extensive studies with many different cultures, and their spiritual practice and her professional training as a complementary health practitioner. Soul Coaching consists of a practical easy to follow 28 day programme, which gently takes you through life changing processes, to clean up all areas of your life, in order for your inner voice to be heard. It is both effective and fun. The amount of effort you put in is up to you. I thoroughly recommend this book, as well as the Soul Coaching Cards that accompany the programme [[ASIN:1401908004 Soul Coaching Oracle Cards: What Your Soul Wants You to Know].

This book would be great for those needing a starting point for inner work. I have done a lot of work prior to this book, but Denise's program actually made a huge break through for me. It's always good to several ways of looking at your issues. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out on their path and those who seem to have stepped off it and want to find their way back.

"Be all you can be" may be the jingle for a branch of the military, but it applies especially to all who seriously want to get in touch with their soul and find out who they really are. Having been fortunate to have taken a seminar with Denise Linn during a Hayhouse "I CAN DO IT" conference (before I knew anything about her), I would highly recommend this book, and any of her writings to help you move forward in becoming an "authentic self". Denise has been through the worst life experiences anyone could have, and that she worked through all that and came out to be the shining human being she is, is breathtaking. Since she has done it, she shows us how anyone can do it as well. I hope to meet her again in the future. If you want to, check out Hayhouse.com or her website.

You are here on the planet for a reason. There is a purpose for your life. When you become clear about your mission, a deep feeling of inner contentment begins to develop within you. You truly know that every experience in your life is propelling you forward in alignment with your mission. ~Denise Linn Through a series of journal-style letters to the reader, affirmations and life-enhancing suggestions, Denise Linn leads you through 28 days of soul cleansing. Through this process you can discover your authentic self. I read this book in a few hours because I'm one of those people who is already constantly organizing things and taking car loads to the local charity. So, blissfully, while reading this book, I could skip many of the organizing sections because I've been working on that all year and had just finished the "putting things in the bathroom in baskets" project! Some of the suggestions will take my organizing/discovery to the next level. Many have nothing to do with organizing, but have more to do with connections to family, love, loyalty, security, courage, wisdom or even removing the clutter on your computer. Now I want to enhance my bedroom environment with different art that reflects my inner world, buy clothes that are much more feminine and write recipes in pretty journal style books so I can find them more easily when making spontaneous meals. Denise also gave me ideas for buying candles (lately I'm looking into soy candles), decorating my living room (might move the couch to a more Feng Shui position) and I suddenly thought I should start to collect affirmations in a big box for inspiration. One of her affirmations was: "I honor my commitments to myself and to others." She also encourages you to follow one of the levels in the book. There are three levels and you can commit to going full out or just making one empowering change each day. There are ideas that will jump out at you and others you will have already completed. A few days after I finished reading this book I felt like I was starting to see my real life mission and I felt energized and renewed. I shall now unleash myself on the world. Or at least try to finish some projects. I planted some mums out on the deck (to renew my planter) and will now finally refinish a trunk I've had since I was a child. This book helped me make a long list of projects to complete and I think when you finally do complete things that matter to you, you get a sense of fulfillment and you can also be healed by making household item donations to your local charity. I cleaned out half my kitchen! By the end of this book, you will have written a life purpose or mission statement and know all about your shadow self. My shadow self is rather disorganized at the moment, but mostly because I'm in the middle of all these projects! Denise is a real survivor and has survived more than you can imagine. I thought her resiliency was astounding. She has taught seminars in 19 countries and has written 12 books. She also went through a house remodel and is now planning a small vineyard. I liked the way she organized her book into four sections and in the weeks after buying this book you can walk through four chapters: Air Week - Clearing Your Mental Self Water Week - Clearing Your Emotional Self Fire Week - Clearing Your Spiritual Self Earth Week - Clearing Your Physical Self Through this book you will explore your relationships, examine turning points in your life and clean up the clutter in your inner and outer worlds. Are you ready to face your shadow? Are you ready to create a future filled with love, harmony and peace? This book can put you on a road to spiritual health in a very interesting way. By embracing some of the ideas in this book I feel I have been healed in a spiritual way. A journal or at least a pen and paper is highly recommended.
