I have several books by this author but this book was like all the mediations books on the shelves

There probably is a niche public out there for this book, but I sadly have a brain :D The author claims in the beginning, that when you exhale fast, then you exhale toxins from Your body. So ... when I exhale in my regular pace, the toxins are stuck in me? :D Maybe, in a land of make believe. I tend to believe people like her should not write books.

I love Iyanla and am certain she could fix my life! This is a guided meditation book for those who have had some exposure to Meditation. It's a nice book to help you come back to if you want to get yourself centered and back to you.

Nowhere in the description does this say that it is based on god, the Holy Spirit, etc. The meditations were great, but I wish I would have known before hand going in. I would have liked to have made my own decision about reading something with mentions of Christianity before hand

I always feel like I’m receiving wisdom when I listen or read her work. She is very blunt.
