Editorial Reviews

Review

What it actually does is re-unite the modern, commercially afflicted female with the concepts, ideas, beliefs and practices of the Earth Mother within. (Kate Osborne, Editor, Kindred Spirit Magazine.) The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment is a powerful and wonderfully entertaining journey into spirituality. I suspect that many readers will see it as the true path to 'women's liberation'! (John Perkins NY Times Best Selling Author of The Secret History of the America Empire.)

From the Author

The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment capture's Alice's early explorations into a spiritual lifestyle and makes spirituality accessible for a new generation of Women (and men who don't mind reading a pink book). Alice's adventures see her literally living through the dawning spiritual crisis's that enlightenment brings, whilst mixing that with a perfectly normal, slightly rock chick modern life. Her ups and downs are charted, whilst she put's her spiritual credentials to the test. Alice flings herself into a range of wacky, fun and fascinating spiritual practices, and comes out a better person for it. A must read book for any high heeled seeker who knows that there is more to life than lipstick! 

A book for anyone who believes that coincidence is never just coincidence, that love can change the world and that there is most definitely something amazing waiting for us after death. Chapters include, The High Heeled Buddha, The High Heeled Wiccan, The High Heeled Kabbalah, The High Heeled Spiritualist, The High Heeled Shaman, High Heeled Reincarnation, High Heeled Healing and High Heeled Divination. A fantastic beginner's guide to all things mystical, esoteric and spiritually fabulous!

"The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment' is a deeply personal book for me that charts my own life and my journey from a low point to spiritual happiness. But it is more than that too, it is informative beyond me and my life, it depicts some fascinating concepts from my perspective and, in a manner that allows modern folk to see it from their perspective too."

"The High-heeled Guide to Enlightenment is the must have book for feisty females who are looking to connect to something other than their Internet provider!"

When I first read this sentence, my curiosity stood on full alert, and I couldn't wait to find out what this book was all about. I ordered the title on Amazon, and just a few days later I had the opportunity to find out for myself.

In The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment Alice Grist takes the reader on a journey across the board of alternate spiritualities. Rather than delving into one practice alone, the reader is skillfully led to widen spiritual boundaries through the exploration of different practices, ranging from Wicca to Buddhism, Shamanism, Kabbalah and Feng-Shui.

Rather than being a main course dish, The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment is a sampler platter offering something for everybody. In fact, while I am not a follower of many of the practices discussed, I found their descriptions fascinating and informative. I particularly enjoyed one chapter on coincidences and patterns, and once I finished reading it I found that some of the concepts were expressed in such a fresh, new voice that couldn't fail to charm anyone gifted with an open mind.

The dynamic writing style and the unique approach employed by the author make this book a delightful read for anyone willing to expand one's knowledge and personal boundaries. For the spiritual beginner, it is a must-read guide necessary to learn more about, and differentiate, the different paths; for those already intimately connected with some of the paths, The High heeled Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment is a great reference book aimed at shedding light on some of the roads less traveled.

A wonderful door opener for anyone ready to embark on their own journey toward enlightenment.
