About the author

Gill was a chartered clinical psychologist by background, and worked full-time in the National Health Service throughout the 1980s. She grew up in a haunted house, began yoga and meditation in her teens, and was on a spiritual path for 30+ years. In 1989, a mystical experience changed her life – and she resigned from the NHS to write her first book, ‘Living Magically’ (Piatkus, 1991).
She trained in metaphysics and shamanism in the USA, Britain and Hawaii, and ran Living Magically workshops in the UK and abroad from 1990. Since 2001, she trained intensively in energy psychology and energy medicine. With a Diploma in Flower & Vibrational Essences, she produced her own range of Lakeland Essences. She was also a certified practitioner of Meridian & Energy Therapies, and trained in EFT (level 2), Matrix Reimprinting, TAT, Psych-K (Advanced) and Emo-Trance. She was registered as a practitioner with the AMT and AAMET. She also studied many other shamanic and energetic healing approaches – including Matrix Energetics, Reconnective Healing, the Sedona Method, the LifeLine Technique, and Donna Eden’s energy medicine. She was passionate about energy psychology and new-paradigm medicine, and believed it would transform the face of healthcare in the coming years.
Gill wrote the best-selling books ‘Living Magically’, ‘Stepping Into the Magic’, ‘Pure Bliss’ and ‘Wild Love’, (Piatkus), plus a range of self-help CD’s. Her book, ‘Life Is A Gift’ was published by Piatkus in 2007. It offers a practical guide to making your dreams come true – by aligning with the flow of the cosmos. Her latest book on Conscious Medicine (2010) – was a topic of huge passion for her. She believed that all dis-ease is created by our energy-consciousness – and so can be un-created using conscious medicine.
Gill lived in the heart of the English Lake District – a landscape that she loved – in a fairytale house which nestles amidst lake, woods and waterfalls, where she felt truly blessed.
Her life-long focus was on expanding our consciousness: walking with a ‘foot in both worlds’, so that we release our natural state of boundless love, joy, freedom and creativity. She saw consciousness as the source of everything. Since everything Is One, she believed that as we develop more of our own potential-and move from fear to love, from struggle to joy-we also help to change the world.
On November 19th 2011 Gill’s mission was complete – she made her transition into the spirit realm, where I am sure she is still joyously supporting us with modern day living.

[Hayley · Rating 2 out of 5]

think have really gone off this writer since reading a few of her books a few years ago, as this is the second one I've read recently that I didn't think much of.
As I work in a library now I am slowly working through my 'to read' list on here, so these choices had been on there a long time.
I think it's a shame, as someone apparently trained in Shamanism, that I felt Gill was 'spirtually bypassing' a lot in this book.
I think there has to be a balance of thinking positive and being able to feel ALL your emotions. I disagree with that anger/sadness etc as 'low vibration' and more positive ones being 'high vibration' as all emotions are needed, and it does not make us 'low vibration' to feel 'bad' emotions.

This is one of my all time favourite books from the Late Gill Edwards, if you liked the Secret and books on the law of attraction then you'll like this. IT begins by considering three different theories, before taking you along the path of life being a gift.... a beautiful book from a beautiful lady who has left this message as a great legacy to us all.

Вярно, че през първата половина на книгата не разбирах за какво става въпрос, а във втората авторката вече се повтаряше, но въпреки това ми хареса. Законът за привличането ме заинтригува.

"பிரபஞ்சம் ௨ங்களை ஆழமாக நேசிக்கிறது.. ௮து ௨ங்களை கொண்டாடுகிறது"!!!

"மூல சக்தியோடு நீங்கள் செயல்படும்போது, தனிமை ௭ன்ற ஒன்றே கிடையாது"...

கால காலமாக வாழ்க்கை பற்றிய கண்ணோட்டத்தையும், உண்மையில் வாழ்க்கை ௭வ்வாறு நிகழ்கிறது ௭ன்பதையும் தன் சொந்த வாழ்வின் ௮னுபவத்திலிருந்து பகிர்ந்த ஒரு பெண்மணியின் ௮ற்புத படைப்பு...

சில பக்கங்களை நாம் புன்னகைகாமல் கடக்க ௭ன்பது நிச்சயம்!!!

This book is all about positive reinforcement. I don’t think one could overcome negativity every time in one’s life. Sometimes we will be in a situation of facing it certain period of time. So much more practicality, pragmatic & realism needed.

3.5 ⭐. FYI This is not the book I actually read apparently they don't have life is a gift by Jennie miller on goodreads. Its a true story about a mom with three disabled children.

During a period of challenging choices in my life this book helped me to see the joy of life. That its a gift to be cherished and not just taken for granted. Also that people come into your life for many reasons, some just for a time, learn from the experience for it is what you need to carry you to the next phase.

இதுப்போன்ற சுயமுன்னேற்ற புத்தகங்கள் யதார்த்த வாழ்வில் நடைமுறை சாத்தியத்தை எவ்வளவு சதவீதம் கொடுக்கும் என்பது கேள்விக்குறி மட்டுமே.
