We learn to let go of the past, get honest about the present, and envision the future of our dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally transformed my life, September 16, 2009

This review is from: The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose (Hardcover)

I've always been curious about how evolutionary leaders like Debbie Ford experience the divine. And this book really let me into that secret. Reading it, I felt like I could see spirit through her eyes and I entered the same reverence and respect she writes about in the book. What was most unexpected, though, is that I developed my own very personal relationship with a Higher Power, one that gave me the courage to take risks, to let go of the past and to step boldly into my dreams. I've been looking for a long time for a book that will just tell me what to do, and Debbie Ford does just that. But instead of pointing me outside myself, she pointed me inward, toward a source that I had no idea existed. I am so grateful to have read this book and I can say without a doubt it has totally transformed my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Debbie does it again, September 15, 2009

This review is from: The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose (Hardcover)

Every time I think it isn't possible to take a complex concept and idea and make it simple and understandable, Debbie Ford writes another book that shakes the foundation of human understanding on that topic. Consciousness has been discussed for years but no one has ever given a simple formula for raising ones consciousness in a structured and planned way. Debbie's books movie's and training programs are changing the way the world looks at transformation and personal development. This book is full of clear internal exercises and tools to raise your vibration and make a huge change in how you see the world and operate in it. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, September 21, 2009

Eco-Friendly Interior Designer (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose (Hardcover)

I have been seeing a spiritual teacher for over 20 years now, but I wanted a book to challenge me on a set program. The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with your Soul's Deepest Purpose, by Debbie Ford, does just that.

The book is clear and concise; Ford presents complex ideas simply and very clearly.

The goal of the book is to help the reader reach their highest potential. "Clearing the past, getting honest about the present and envisioning a future unlike anything you've ever imagined," she writes.

Ford isn't recommending we live our live solely inward--if anything, the goal is to seek a balance between our inner and outer worlds.

The first section is all about the 21 day program and includes preparation and the necessary tools.

The next three sections deal with past, present and future.

When we achieve true peace, we also achieve love, compassion and serenity, according to Ford. We detach from past, present and future and live joyfully.

If you decide to embark on this worthy program, consider cleansing the body and your home as well as aids in the spiritual journey. I have found, as a designer, that living in a sanctuary helps me on my spiritual journey, as does eating really healthfully. I recommend: HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT: BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME & YOUR PLANET and QUANTUM WELLNESS.

Highly recommend.
