A Spirit Junkie is someone who fully embraces their unique gifts and uses them to be a force for good in the world. When we love and accept ourselves, we shine brightly-and that energy radiates outward, encouraging others to do the same. When I finally opened this book, I knew it was the perfect time for me to read the information within it. A decade ago, young women like Ms. Bernstein might have been expected to chase the lifestyle of high heels and pink drinks…But now there is a new role model for New York’s former Carrie Bradshaws…well versed in self-help and New Age spirituality…Ms. Bernstein is one of a circle of such figures, influenced less by the oeuvre of Candace Bushnell than that of Marianne Williamson.” —The New York Times As for me? Remember that miracle needed to change the world I was talking about? Ultimately, I have ended up holding my breath for that miracle. I never turned blue in the face, either. Instead I learned to control my breathing, one of the most basic involuntary functions we have. That in itself is a miracle, because a miracle, as Gabby teaches, is a shift in perception. And who would have ever thought we can control our most basic seemingly involuntary functions, like breathing?

energetically charged cards featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations and empowering messages to provide divine guidance, inspiration, and support as you strengthen your spiritual connection. The accomplishment the author achieved at the end of her story is in it self a miracle after all she had experienced and is an inspiration to all and could be for many the light at the end of a long dark tunnel somewhere .. from my end I can say this stuff does actually work actually feeling it while still in the process of reading the book ..A decade ago, young women like Ms. Bernstein might have been expected to chase the lifestyle of high heels and pink drinks. . . .

Ms. Bernstein is one of a circle of such figures, influenced less by the oeuvre of Candace Bushnell than that of Marianne Williamson.” — The New York Times Before I knew it, I was engrossed by Bernstein's story and the plan she lays out for others to follow on their journey to enlightenment. As a longtime student of *A Course in Miracles,* I could relate to the concepts she discusses and felt that they really resonated with me. However, the universal nature of the message itself will be relevant to any spiritual seeker, whether they be brand new to the Course, have never heard of it, or have been studying it for decades. A.C.I.M. was published in the 1970's, and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson's book "A Return To Love" (also based on A.C.I.M) was published in the 1990's. Now, for a newer generation, Gabrielle has introduced us to the concepts, feelings, and ways of life associated with spirituality and love. Her take on it is clearly geared toward spiritual novices and a younger group of readers.

Open your hearts to this beautiful goddess-diva and, most important, discover the one that lives inside you!” —Eliza Dushku Having said all of this, I did still get an enormous amount from the book and this is one of several that I am rereading to support me in a major life upheaval. It has done exactly what I wanted it to do, which was to remind me that I don't have to take responsibility for everything and I can relax into the experience knowing that I will be divinely guided if I do so. This book is based on the teachings of the famous spiritual inspiration book " A Course in Miracles " where the author with great talent, depth and simplicity passes on the message in her own words and way linking it to her own life story with all it's ups and downs depression experience and then her transformation finally reaching her current status as a " Miracle Worker ".Due to its high request rate, it took about a month for me to get this book. I got it on a Friday, finished over breakfast that Sunday morning. Why? What was so attractive about this book? Well, for one, it's an easy accessible read. I've always been curious about reading A Course in Miracles. In fact, I've owned it for close to 9 years and still haven't gotten past the second chapter. "Spirit Junkie" brought the course down to my level. Interweaving lessons from the Course with personal life experience, Gabby's text shines with approachability and interest.

It’s too early to say how deep an impact this book has had on me, though I know that it has triggered (or at least helped to trigger) a period of great growth and healing for me.Judgement Detox was the second book by Gabrielle that I read. I borrowed it from the library quite a while before actually opening it. It just sat there staring at me but I couldn’t will myself to read it. I like gabby. I respect the work that she does and I think it's great she has helped to create a shift in making meditation, spiritually and prayer more accessible and more mainstream, I suppose.
