How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, by Sandra Ingerman

I thank Sandra Ingerman for sending me a copy of her excellent book, How To Heal Toxic Thoughts, to review. As many of you know, I have undergone a huge transition over the past several years. At the core of this transition is healing the toxic thoughts that were limiting me from being content with who I am, from loving myself, and from fully participating in the joy of creation. I was fortunate (and still am) to have a wonderful guide in my life, but for those of you who don't, I recommend this book.

The especially great thing about Ingerman's book is that it is so simple. So many self-help books are overly complicated and give support to the illusion that we must go through years of hard work and suffering in order to come back into balance. I have found that many spiritual texts from the past operate the same way. In the old paradigm, knowledge of our divinity was hidden in an esoteric way for the "true" seeker. We are fortunate to live in a time when this is no longer the case. The truth of our existence is available to all. In fact, it is our moral obligation to recognize this truth within ourselves, and, as Ingerman writes, to shine this truth outwards in every-widening circles. The beginning of our healing our planet is to heal ourselves.

I send you all love and gratitude on our shared journey.

Manifest Manisses

Manifest Manisses

Manifest Manisses envisions an island culture based on sustainable values and the cultivation of joy. A heart-centered, visionary place where we use the power of our collective intentions to create abundance and radiant health for all who dwell on Block Island--people, plants and animals.

Our hope is that our embodied vision will have a ripple effect, moving through all who set foot on Block Island, spreading our message of positive affirmation of life across the entire globe, just as the waters of the ocean touch every shore.

We will use our collective will to transmute the destructive energies that have poisoned our land and bodies, remembering that we are created of these elements. In our remembering, we will awaken others.

Manifest Manisses knows that fear is a tool to open our hearts further to love, and embraces fear, giving thanks for the lessons being offered.

We know we are the creators of physical reality, the custodians of Earth, and take responsibility for our individual and collective creations.

Manifest Manisses adopts a position of non-judgment, knowing that every contribution is important and essential to growth--each one of us is a mirror for the other--we are all one, and the more clear we become about this, the more clear our reflections will be. Our creations will radiate Source energy as we remember our higher purpose here on earth as individuals and as a species, preparing to become multidimensional beings able to access more levels of reality that will enable us to lead richer lives, founded in love for ourselves and all of creation.

Manifest Manisses is dedicated to helping everyone uncover their sou’s purpose and channeling that purpose for the greater good of all beings.

We celebrate our return to awareness and welcome the joy to be had in every moment as we walk through our fears into fields of praise, waves of love and gratitude moving through the water that surrounds us, and into the air as it evaporates. With every sip we take, we give thanks.

Manifest Manisses invites all who are ready to remember into our circle with open hearts, grateful for the gift of life. Dedicated to the moment, we sink into the earth, lift our eyes to the sky. We know we that heaven on earth exists right here, right now. We remember our own divinity and give thanks.
