Love's Secret Live Your Life in Lovewas awarded finalist in USA Book News in self-help relationship. It is a book that all couples can benefit from that want more love and passion.

Annie Lawrence is ready to share her 12 secrets to living a life full of love and purpose in her new book, Love's Secret. She focuses intensely on the relationship and what it takes to make the union one of positive growth and support. Not only can we grow as a couple in relationship, but also develop as a person emotionally and spiritually. Lawrence's writing is truly magnetic and her ability to connect with the reader is superior. If you are ready to walk away with a great deal more knowledge than before, it's definitely time to begin this particular journey.

Relationships can bring out personal fears; humbling "fall to your knees" type of fear. We are faced with aspects of intimacy and self knowledge that can be challenging to address. Intimacy is scary to some who may not feel familiar with it, especially in childhood. Relationships can also force us to acknowledge shadows in ourselves that are sometimes difficult to see. We must make a commitment in relationship to attend to our core issues that we develop in youth. "Core issues created in your childhood are the magnetic pull that draws you toward your perfect partner in order to begin your healing journey." It is a place where our life's work begins if we remain committed to growth and healing.

In Love's Secret, Lawrence discusses a process called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). "EFT is an effective tool to clear away emotional patterns and beliefs in the emotional body and energy meridians in your physical body." It includes tapping areas of the body that "correlate to energy meridians" and using affirmations of self acceptance, love and forgiveness. The author extends resources for readers wanting to learn more.

As she continues through each secret, she shares her own personal experiences, as well as the experiences of clients who benefitted from the 12 secrets. The author writes of healing, which is basically the spiritual journey of life. We are here to face our core issues, love, and heal. First, however, we must clear our belief system. "Preprogrammed beliefs and patterns passed on to you through your environment and families are your life lessons." We must take time for inner reflection and find what is true for us. What patterns exist? It is a path for the brave of heart to seek out a healing of spirit. Lawrence recommends journaling so that we become more aware of our moods, thoughts, and habits that can sabotage our greatest intentions. Her questions posted after each secret are quite helpful to gain a better understanding of where we are and where we want to be.

To become vulnerable enough to take an honest look at ourselves, we must develop trust in ourselves, the relationship, and in a loving universe. Being able to give up our need to control everything is where change begins. According to the author, this is where we own our true power. Sometimes in childhood, we learn to close our hearts as a self protective device. This soul journey can only be done with an open heart...a heart open to intimacy. As our issues surface, we focus on our healing, and life is anew with each resolved issue.

With increased awareness, we are ready to create a new vision of love. "Meditation and yoga had taught them (Judy and Larry) how to access their inner wisdom. This gave them a mutual tool for connecting to their heart to access their heart's desires." We are ready to share our dreams and truly hear what our partner desires and envisions.

Love's Secret goes on to share valuable wisdom through the remaining secrets addressed. This wisdom can change a life and it can change the world as we see it. True change begins within and cannot help but transform the world. Annie Lawrence is a healer of relationships and injured spirits. This is truly her contribution of guidance. She urges her readers to look beyond the surface of daily living into the spiritual aspects of healing the pain that can control the lives we've created. We can reach beyond the pain, from a healed heart, into the passion of divine possibilities. Love's Secret is for the couple and the spirit seeking more love and greater peace. It is a significant source of comfort and counsel.

Annie B. Lawrence is obviously a great teacher. Her book contains everything you need to let go of the old and prepare yourself to bring new love into your life. Love's Secret is filled with exercises and examples that make everything clear and simple yet life changing. I feel so much love in my life after reading and experiencing her book. Thank you, Annie.

This is a wonderful book. In it, Annie B. Lawrence describes her own relationships and gives examples from her own practice of various situations she has encountered with her clients. What I enjoyed about this book is 1) true life examples; 2) questions one may ask of oneself to get deeper into situations 3) envisioning and 4) EFT exercises you can do yourself to assist in bringing your love into reality.

In this book, there is no blame. It's about finding out where you are and how to get where you want to be.

Easy to read; easy to understand. If you need a coach, Annie is available AND, I'd suggest you check out her beautiful location in Sedona Arizona.

This book was recommended to me and my husband. Our once blissful young marriage had taken a bad turn after long periods of stress. We felt totally disconnected from eachother. The tools I learned from this author were life changing, especially The "EFT technique" that works magically to release defeating habits.It also helped me realize, how much of the stress in our lives had been created by our old thinking patterns. The commit to love helped us reprioritze our relationship. Has truly changed us for the better and we are right back on track, and my husband has not even finished the book yet. The tools I learned I have applied in all areas of my life for immediate self improvement, each day I uncover more about myself and find I experience less and less stress and well. I even used "EFT" to quit smoking after trying everying I could find that did not work. I have forgotten about cigarettes as well as the explosive arguments between my husband and I that are long a thing of the past. Worth its weight in gold. Much Thanks to this author!

Although Lawrence's book has many of the same guidelines for success as other books, she adds something a bit different too. It's technique called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT.

EFT is a tool used to clear away emotional patterns and beliefs by tapping (yes, literally) on parts of your body. The locations are illustrated in the book. Tapping clears your energy field. The exercise also includes visualization techniques and affirmations.

The book centers on couples, but is directed at removing fear and fear based actions that sabotage relationships. Singles can benefit from the principles taught such as how to clear money fears, creating a vision for love, and remove the fear of commitment.

If you ask me if it works, I'd have to say it depends on the individual. If you believe the mind can be reconditioned, then yes. Maybe I sound a bit cynical, but it's been my experience these types of books are only as powerful as the person's desire to change.

When I started the road to self-improvement, I had become sick and tired of who and what I had become. So if I was told that I'd have to dress up in a pink flamingo outfit and handout flyers to the alligators that said "Eat Me!" I would have. Luckily LOVE'S SECRET doesn't have something like that in the guidelines, but some of the exercises can be perceived to be as uncomfortable or frightening. It's all about taking risks and getting out of the self-destructive cycle. Lawrence's book is easy to understand and covers problems that hold couples back from genuine happiness. It's a book I'd highly recommend.

The Secret

Love's Secret is an EFT relationship manual that empowers couples to stay connected to love. EFT is a powerful tool to release old baggage that stands in the way of love. My relationship has been strengthened and we find it easier to stop fighting and make love.

Abuse, molestation, abandonment, neglect, emotional isolation - we are all familiar with the realities of childhood trauma. For those who have experienced them, such events have left indelible emotional, spiritual, or psychological scars. As a result of the pain, traumatized children become ill-adjusted adults, still struggling to maneuver through the maze of everyday life with limited trust and faith as their guides.

Nowhere is this reality more manifest than in the world of interpersonal relationships, particularly love. An often mercurial and confusing practice, the act of loving someone is made more difficult by unresolved emotional conflict that restricts our ability to open ourselves fully to such an unknown, unpredictable concept. Add to that the uncertainty of trusting the innocence of another individual's motives (especially if such trust were a major factor in childhood trauma), and it becomes nearly impossible to imagine ever knowing and embracing true love for one's own.

Enter Love's Secret: an informative, enlightening tome by Annie Lawrence. Reading like an expert how-to guide to spiritual harmony, Love's Secret is an insightful, integrative manual designed to address the realities of childhood trauma head-on in an effort to reconcile lingering pain and trust issues once and for all for the sake of emotional healing and spiritual well-being.

Most refreshing about Love's Secret is that Lawrence does more than offer simple platitudes or vague, general nuggets of advice. Instead, she provides the reader with specific case histories of individuals with a range of underlying emotional trauma, addressing each individual situation with a detailed analysis of its true cause/nature, as well as the particular solution best suited to resolve it. In an age of cookie-cutter self-help gurus, such a focused, personalized technique is both welcome and refreshing. Moreover, by including a broad base of subjects in her observations, Lawrence presents a kaleidoscopic collection of humanity, ensuring that her message will be received by a broad cross-section of individuals from all walks of life.

From illustrative guidance to helpful quotes to practical everyday exercises, Love's Secret is a balm for wounded souls everywhere. Highly recommended.
