own. I believe in angels, spirit guides, ascended masters, and a community of loving entities who are always guiding us to lean toward love and unlearn the fears of the world. I believe that the Universe is the ever-present energy of love within us and around us. I believe that in any given moment we can align with that powerful presence of love through prayer, contemplation, and stillness. We can measure our peace based on our ability to align with this force field of universal energy. I trust in these spiritual guides just as much as I trust in my husband or my mother. I believe in them deeply, and I know they are working through me to strengthen my faith in the Universe. Most of all I believe that we are here in these bodies at this time to learn great spiritual lessons. As we come to embrace the light and transformation within these lessons, we’re guided to spread the light to the rest of the world. I nurture this faith daily with prayer and meditation. This certainty sets me free. Helping you find strength, support and guidance as well as the safety and comfort you need but also providing patience, stability and peace. I went in with zero expectations, and only having a general idea of who Gabby Bernstein was (I knew she ran in the same circle as Deepak Chopra).

Thank you, Universe, for presenting me with this divine assignment for spiritual growth and healing. I am ready and willing to show up for this assignment with love. I welcome your support. Show me where to go, what to do, and what to say. I trust I’m being guided.” (c) I won't get too personal but I wanted a little guidance and this book was good. A lot of it is Gabby explaining how something happened to her and this is how she found a new way of looking at things and that improved the situation. Are you ok with mantras (in english and sanskrit)? there’s a lot of them in this book. If these annoy you, find another book. They are very simple statements and each card is coloured perfectly, vivid, stark and great print quality.

While she provides some helpful reminders to refrain from judgment and negative self perceptions, most of her advice is laughably superficial. "Living with certainty is so much fun!" (If only it were that easy!) "When you let go and let the Universe guide your relationships, it's like booking a session with an invisible therapist." (Forget all the work that goes in to maintaining a healthy relationship -- just let the Universe take over! 🙄) When we witness certainty in others, we remember a truth that lies within us. It was Wayne Dyer’s certainty and absolute faith in the Universe that drew me to him. His faith strengthened mine. As I write this chapter, I celebrate Wayne’s life as he left his body only a few days ago. My heart is heavy, and millions of people throughout the world are deeply saddened by our collective loss. But deep down I know, with certainty, that Wayne’s spirit, enthusiasm, and guidance will never leave us. These spiritual lessons will help you relinquish the need to control, so you can release anxiety and relax into a sense of certainty and freedom. It talks about how to move from being resentful and judgmental (two of my favourite hobbies) into at least being awake enough to stop that inner narrative and forgive myself for it and let it go. To be more happy with my life today instead of waiting for a future, more perfect version. And it does this without really telling the reader what to believe in. That’s up to you and completely open. You’ll learn how to stop chasing life and truly live with a more positive mindset. Making the shift from fear to faith will give you a sense of power in a world that all too often makes us feel utterly powerless.

Before I started reading this book my mind felt like a dried up sponge, and after reading it my mind has absorbed all the water that it can to the point where it's leaking into a puddle on the ground. There was a section where she encourages readers to develop their Kundalini, but from what I've read, the Kundalini should only be awakened with lots of knowledge and great caution. I read this book cover to cover, highlighted, probably 40% of the text, and on top of that took a shit ton of hand written notes. When you follow this path, you’ll begin to feel a swell of energy move through you. You will find strength when you are down, synchronicity and support when you’re lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy when you are otherwise in pain. I've always been a strong believer in mindfulness, positive affirmations, meditation. I guess I always liked the idea of it more than I practiced it, but after reading this book I feel it's helped me lay the groundwork for the life I know I need to be living.I feel like finding this book was divine intervention. I will use the tools that were laid out in her book, and continue to seek out the light.

Instead, she suggests we should all blindly let the universe "take the wheel" and trust that everything will turn out great if only we have a little faith. While such a suggestion is nice, it completely ignores the deeper complexities and realities of life. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Sometimes things don't happen for a reason. Sometimes we will experience tragedy and heartache and the only way to get through it all is to feel "negative" emotions. And that's OK. Because life is messy sometimes and being "joyful" all the time isn't real. What I love to use these in as well is my coaching sessions, I feel one card per session gives them a goal to think about.It is my mission to help guide you to know your own certainty. Maybe your faith lies in religious beliefs, or maybe you connect to the Universe when you go for a long run or spend time with your children. I don’t care how you find this connection: all I care about is that you establish a relationship with a higher power of your own understanding. The more energy and intention you bring to your faith, the more fearless and free you will be. Your fearless freedom will light up the world. It’s trying to sound like it has new insights - but I found none here that I have not heard or found or read elsewhere.
