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.
