5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually Evolved Partnership...Illuminating, Genuine, May 23, 2003

This review is from: The Intimate Soul (Paperback)

The Intimate Soul: Living the spiritually authentic and intimate life...

by Laura V. Hyde, 2001, Sustainable Solutions Press.

Michigan's own Laura Hyde exquisitely crafts a book with substance and heart. She blends the wisdom of The Course in Miracles with insights only experience and wisdom can create. Based on the premise that "intimacy can only exist to the extent that you are in touch with your deepest most authentic self," Hyde opens the rulebook and inserts new rules for spiritually evolved partnership.

Carving beyond the barriers of safety and complacency, Hyde asks questions that bring us face to face with our soul. From there she elicits the spiritually empowered man and woman. She describes paths to moving beyond the fear of intimacy. Through case studies, and her personal vulnerable journey she begins to map out a new route to intimacy, based on unconditional love and a commitment to growth.

There are prayers for healing throughout the book. Hyde also addresses the perplexing area of sexuality and spirituality. Her concepts are easy to understand and the delivery is very relaxed and illuminating. By calling fear by its name, she reroutes the mind toward a vision of transforming love and healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine, Healing and Inspiring, March 15, 2001

By 

Gwynn Hansen (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Intimate Soul (Paperback)

In The Intimate Soul author Laura V. Hyde shares from her own life on how to develop meaningful and authentic intimacy. Her words connects us to our souls and to "stripping away the masks" that we wear. While reading it, I felt empowered to be my real self, to let go of what others think of me, and to live a life that works for me.

If you want authentic intimacy with yourself and others, I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful!!!, June 7, 2001

This review is from: The Intimate Soul (Paperback)

Laura courageously shares her own intimacy issues, illustrating firsthand that you must look inward to become truly intimate with others. "The Intimate Soul" is a moving book. I've found myself drawn back to it, re-reading parts over again, gleaning new "lightbulb moments" as I continue my journey to live authentically and deepen my relationships with others. A friend I've talked with about the book wants to borrow it. I'm finely going to buy her a copy of her own. I don't want to part with mine!
