Book Review: Mind Magic
In the quest for learning the business skills necessary to survive and thrive in the real world, sometimes we have to tear down what we’ve created in the way of a life that doesn’t encourage us reaching our full potential. This book points you in the right direction to do that.
For some reason, I thought the author was a little “out there” when I read the first chapter, “Attributes of Consciousness”. She almost lost me when stating, “plants have a minimum level of consciousness”. This wasn’t because I am a die-hard scientist and don’t believe in the hard-to-believe or the metaphysical. I have seen enough to know that just because you can’t see something does not mean it doesn’t exist.
It was more for the reason that a friend of mine accidentally channeled himself into the plant next to his bed while doing an advance form of yogic meditation one day and came back with the first-hand report that, no, plants do NOT have a consciousness.
That’s all.
After pushing on and reading the entire book, I went back and reviewed that chapter and now it seemed a little less rooted in the twilight zone. The real meat and value of this book is in the chapters following. Fans of “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction will find familiar territory here. As one interested in both, I appreciated the foundation the author laid down first in explaining how the conscious and subconscious mind works. It really can seem like, “Mind Magic”, but in fact is rooted in the realities of how awesomely powerful our minds are.
Clear, concise details are given on how to use self-hypnosis as a tool for working towards creating powerful transformations in your life for the better. For those wary of hypnosis, it is nothing more threatening than guided meditation, and it was only after reading this book that I felt more comfortable with it, though I had gone to a trusted friend for my first experience in hypnosis a few months ago. It is just something in the way the author explains it that, coupled with the guided imagery experience I had done then, that convinced me it was the way I had been looking for to finally figure out what is going on in my head behind the scenes, so to speak.
You can sit and contemplate your life only so long, do yoga, meditation, chants, etc., but unless you use the techniques reviewed in this book – LOA (Laws of Attraction), self-hypnosis, mental imagery, affirmations and writing down your goals, along with a good, uncomfortable dose of facing the truth about yourself, you won’t be rich, or happy or find your bliss…just face it.
And that really is the root of so much sickness, misery, angst, violence, selfishness and depression in the world…the fact that people are too lazy or scared to do some mental housecleaning and root out the poisonous, self-destructive things that have seeped into our subconscious over our lifetimes. We blame government, our parents, our kids and spouses, society, the next door neighbor ANYONE, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT OURSELVES! If you can’t take the truth that you attract exactly the things you deserve in life, if you aren’t willing to do the hard work it takes to make a change in your life for the better, then don’t bother getting this book. We create stress in our lives because of our reaction to it, not because it is stressing. Just take a look at the person next to you who weathers storms than you with ease and can be happy even when they have a harder life than you do. The U.S. as a whole is a spoiled rotten nation, but in the reality of life, what truly matters has to be worked for.
Reading this book is no magic pill, but it can give you the incentive to take your own pill and make you life the stuff of your dreams.
So get off your butt and do it.
