I have never written a book review before. It's not because I haven't wanted to, but because I have believed, since high school, that I am a lousy writer. I would have never considered writing anything on such a public forum before this because of an incident in one English class that resulted in this limiting belief about myself.

Christel Nani, in her third book, Sacred Choices: Thinking Outside the Tribe to Heal Your Spirit, explains what tribal beliefs are and how they can not only limit your life and true potential but impact you daily, causing you to make unconscious choices. Tribal beliefs are limiting beliefs you have about all areas of your life--family, love, work, health, God, and of course, for me, writing--that you learn growing up from your family, school, church, and other significant people in your life; they drive your behavior unconsciously.

Christel's well written, easy to follow guide allowed me to identify many beliefs that rule my life. The multiple examples she gives throughout the book aided in unearthing tribal beliefs in my life that would have otherwise remained deeply hidden. Reading Christel's book helped me see how these beliefs have kept me from living the kind of life I want. Her guidelines for rewriting a tribal belief are practical and easy. Discovering that I didn't have to change my belief of being a lousy writer all the way to "I can write like an eloquent, best-selling author" freed me from my all-or-nothing thinking. Changing that belief to "It is reasonable to believe that I can write in an articulate, succinct way about something I strongly believe in and feel passionate about" allowed a shift to occur.

So here I am writing my first book review because I wanted to share something I believe in and feel passionate about...changing a tribal belief held for over 35 years is possible and so freeing! By reading the personal stories Christel writes about in her book, you, too, will be inspired to identify a few of your own tribal beliefs and rewrite those that have kept you stuck. It can forever change your life!

For years I have been on a quest to understand how someone as capable and well-intentioned as me could have such challenges living to my fullest potential.

In Sacred Choices, I at last found the answer. This book is truly my Holy Grail.

I've heard and read so frequently about "belief systems." But until Christel, no one ever showed me how to rewrite them. In addition, this book helped me identify belief systems I didn't even know I had.

I feel like I have been given a magic key that just keeps clicking in me, unlocking the secrets to a better, more fulfilling life.

I got the book yesterday. I could not put it down. Read most of it by last night. I had been waiting for it since it had been announced :-).
In her simple yet usual profound style (Consider reading her other books if you have not done so already), she explains how tribal beliefs can affect your life, how they can even make you so sick that they can be deadly. She teaches you how to align with your spirit, how to be truer to Yourself. In this book in particular, she helps you identify which ones affect you the most, and the list is looooonnnng!
If you still feel that the book is not enough, please, please, consider attending at least one of her workshops. This could save your life. You will cry, you will laugh, but oh, you will feel better afterwards if you are willing to listen!

She is a truly extraordinary person: she can go straight to the problem in a flash. You will be transformed, never to be the same again. You will live in a higher vibration mode.
I will never thank her enough for her gifts.

I've read all three of Christel's books. The first two were wonderful and give a great background, but Sacred Choices is off the charts important. It feels like the cover should be in neon with Christmas lights flashing so no one will miss the opportunity to read it and change their life. That's exactly what happens and Christel walks you through how to do that. It's easy to follow and incredibly inspirational. It will make you want to attend Christel's workshops so you can meet this wonderful woman. My life is easy, happy, FUN and going exactly in a way I could only have dreamed of prior to Sacred Choices. I can't thank the universe enough for putting Christel in my life. Buy Sacred Choices, it's worth it's weight in gold.

I'm so elated that I got the chance to go to Christel Nani's weekend Workshop in San Diego. To say that it helped me really change my life would be a huge understatement. It was thrilling and I am forever changed. I started working with Christel over two years ago. Her guidence has been a necessary part of my life. I am absolutely convinced that without her help I would be unable to work, would not be married, and certainly happiness would not have been an option. She has helped me heal from Migraine headaches, recreate the way I approach my personal fitness buisness and given me the tools I needed to move ahead in my personal relationship with my wonderful new husband. She has helped me learn how to give myself permission to enjoy my great life.

If you have been to conferences with Christel and seen some life changes, but not so much that you feel like shouting her message from the rooftops, then keep going until the miracle happens. Because it will if you let it. It took a while for me to allow the message in, but now it's there and it's easy (who would have thought life could be easy?!?). Life is not only easy, it's wonderful and I am truly blessed.

Thank you Christel

I spent a lot of years trudging the road...working out my stuff, therapy, books...whatever...striving for a better life because mine wasn't how I knew it could be. And even when it was, I had trouble enjoying it.

I've read hundreds of books by all the people we all know...the chopras, the tolles, the dr. what'shisnames, etc. ....and SACRED CHOICES is in its own class above the rest. This book shows us how to smoke out the hidden "tribal" beliefs that can block the way to realizing our potential and enjoying life...and CHANGE those beliefs into ones that work and support a new way of living...as simple and as fast as we want.

Christel Nani is more grounded and at the same time revolutionary than I can really explain here. Do yourself a favor and read this, and give the work a try. I've gone to a number of Christel's workshops, and I leave amazed every time.

Doing this work has completely altered the course of my life in a very short time. My soul knows what it's doing. I just needed to learn how to listen better. And that's ultimately what she's teaching here. I've resurrected my dreams, and I'm changing the relationships in my life. I see magic every day now...and I'll be forever grateful.

In Sacred Choices, Christel Nani-- a truly gifted medical intuitive-- guides you through the process of changing the limiting beliefs which hold each of us back and get in the way of of our happiness. The book is filled with exciting ideas as Christel lays out a clear, easy-to-follow path for listening to your spirit and creating the kind of life you truly want.
Christel helped me heal a nine year debilitating illness from which doctors told me I would never fully recover, that it would severly limit me for the rest of my life. Thanks to Christel, I just hiked to the boittom of the Grand Canyon and am living my life with such joy. Her workshops are outstanding as she leads with compassion, humor, and the clear intention for each person to acheive their most cherished desires. I reccommend this book highly to anyone who wants to live life to the fullest and pursuie their biggest, boldest dreams.

I teach, through wellness consultations, this very thing - Natural Solutions For Life! Sacred Choices is a beautiful book, from the color of the cover to the gentle way Christel assists with breaking down the very paradigms that form our thoughts and beliefs. I too believe this is the root of all dis-ease. If you have any desire to live a passionate life read this book, practice what she teaches and make it your new lifestyle. Time is too short to live a life of deceit. Start choosing an authentic life now!

Amazing! It is so easy. Out of all the books I have read, workshops I have attended, this is the only tool that has worked for me. My life has totally changed and I resonate with joy and happiness. God sent us the most spectacular gift in Christel. We are so lucky to have her as a teacher. She is the real thing.

This book is a difinitive work on how medical intuitives can help someone understand the roles of thought and our beliefs in our ultimate satisfaction with life. It helps one understand how our inner soul needs to nurtured and given the freedom from our societal conditioning to pursue happiness and fulfillment.

This book comprehensively covers a definition of how intuitive coaching helps a person realize what their impediments are that one cannot see because tribal beliefs are subtle and so conditioned and ingrained that we hold them in our minds without knowing it. An intuitive can bring these into our consciousness and we can then "work on ourselves" and move forward with our lives.

A fantastic book to show how you canot heal without pinpointing what you are thinking that is getting in your way!

When you are reading "Sacred Choices", it feels like Christel is right there with you, as you journey thru each chapter. Christel's compassionate "healing spirit" is evident on each page as she guides you with her humor, as well as her direct, honest, no-nonsense style, to self discovery and how to live a life that is in alignment with body-mind-spirit with ease. Christel's books, workshops and "readings" have changed my life and quite possibly saved my life. If you want to change your life in ways you may not even have dreamed possible, and are willing to take that "leap of faith" that it doesn't even have to be hard....start reading, discovering, and re-writing some of your" tribal beliefs", and then enjoy yourself. I am not the same person I was 2 years ago, when I began re-writing my "tribal beliefs"....I am happier, and healthier--spiritually, physically & emotionally. Reading Christel's newest book has me, continuing my own healing journey, with new chapters in my own life to experience. I look forward to it, with much gratitude.
