¿Qué es la gracia? ¿Cómo actúa? ¿Cómo puedo saber si he tenido una experiencia de gracia? Durante décadas, lectores y estudiantes han acudido a la médica intuitiva Caroline Myss en busca de respuestas a estas preguntas esenciales. En estas páginas, la autora nos propone un viaje transformador para investigar cómo funciona la gracia. Inspirada por personas corrientes que superaron una amplia gama de dolencias físicas y psicológicas, Caroline se sumergió en las obras de los grandes místicos para obtener una comprensión más profunda de los fundamentos espirituales de la curación. Utilizando estos descubrimientos, nos invita a un compromiso íntimo y sanador con el alma, que experimentamos explorando nuestras siete pasiones en la sombra, potenciando nuestras siete gracias y aprendiendo a trabajar con las leyes místicas. Este conocimiento te permite traspasar los límites de la razón ordinaria. Puedes curarte de la enfermedad, el desamor y el dolor. Puedes aprender a vivir sin miedo y empezar a discernir la guía de la gracia en cada momento de tu vida.

About the author
Caroline Myss
158 books1,044 followersCaroline Myss was born on December 2, 1952 in Chicago, and grew up with her parents, and two brothers, one elder and one younger, in the Melrose Park, Illinois neighbourhood near Chicago. Caroline was raised a Catholic, and attended the Mother Guerin High School, River Grove, Illinois, run by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. She completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana in 1974, and started her career in journalism in Chicago.
In the course of her career, she interviewed Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D., the author of the famous book, On Death and Dying, which inspired her to pursue a Master's degree in theology from Mundelein College, Chicago, which she completed in 1979. She also claims to hold a Ph.D in "intuition and energy medicine", but the degree was granted by Greenwich University, a now-defunct correspondence school that was never accredited to deliver higher education awards by any recognized government accreditation authority.
She started giving medical intuitive readings in 1982 and co-founded a small New Age publishing company, Stillpoint Publishing in Walpole, New Hampshire, where she also worked as an editor in 1983, next she began consulting with holistic doctors, which in 1984, led to her extensive collaboration with Dr. Norman Shealy, an M.D. schooled at Harvard, and the founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, with whom she later co-authored, "Aids: Passageway to Transformation," in 1987, followed by "The Creation of Health: The Emotional, Psychological, and Spiritual Responses that Promote Health and Healing," in 1988. Deriving from her practice as a medical intuitive, she started writing books, in the field of energy medicine, and healing, all of which became New York Times Best Sellers.[18] Starting with Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (1996), which overlapped seven Christian sacraments with seven Hindu chakras and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life to create a map of the human "energy anatomy"; this was followed by Why People Don't Heal and How They Can (1998), which explored the reasons people do not heal through her concept of "woundology." Her next book, Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential (2002) dealt with the issue of finding "Life Purpose," while describing Sacred Contracts as "a set of assignments that our soul had formed around before incarnation". She has since appeared on the The Oprah Winfrey Show numerous times.
By 2000, she discontinued doing private medical intuitive readings, and instead started teaching it, through her workshops, seminars, radio shows and guided tours. She tours internationally as a speaker on spirituality and mysticism, and lives in Oak Park, Illinois, near Chicago. In 2003, she started the Caroline Myss Educational Institute, with Wisdom University in San Francisco.
Her 2007 book, "Entering the Castle" draws upon the writings of Saint Teresa of Ávila, a 16th century Carmelite nun, who wrote her most important work, The Interior Castle, towards the end of her life.

This work had many thoughtful and reflective connections related to healing, grace, and recognizing blocks to spiritual growth. I listened as an audiobook but would recommend that it might be easier to connect with as an e-book or physical book.

Absolutely Insightful
There is so much to like about this book. It made me look deeply about what was causing the pain in my arm to resist healing. It makes you dig deeply into what your fears are. I want to continue to read different chapters again. I keep referring to passages.

Loved it
Makes your goals more reasonable and reachable if you try, try again. Would suggest reading if your looking for thought provoking reason to not give up.

When the Student Is Ready, The Teacher Appears
I've heard some of the things Caroline Myss has shared in this book, but not in the way that she shared it. It's a way in which I needed to hear it to make the changes necessary to heal.
We all have teachers that resonate so profoundly with us and sometimes, some stop resonating because we are being called to another level of healing.
I've been feeling lost looking for that teacher to address the challenge I felt at wanting to know the answers to life's unreasonable events. This book came right on time to answer my soul's longing.
I want the healing of grace that Caroline speaks of here, and I love that she spoke of our dark passions and graces referencing terminology with which I was familiar but marrying it with energetic wisdom of the chakras. It helped me to understand not only how it felt to me emotionally but where it was coming up for me energetically.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is experiencing the suffering that comes from clinging and desiring to know what cannot be known. I also thank Caroline Myss for this gem of a book that I will be referring back to as I navigate this healing journey.
This day will never come again, and I can finally appreciate that fact thanks to this book.
