Helpful Guide for Optimal Aging,
By
This review is from: Second Chance at Your Dream: Engaging Your Body's Energy Resources for Optimal Aging, Creativity and Health (Paperback)
Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer's book is a helpful guide for readers who want to be engaged in the second half of life. Her application of energy psychology to aging is a welcome addendum to other methods of staying emotionally and physically fit in the later years. The practical tools and exercises - complete with photographs - are well demonstrated, clearly explained and easy to follow.
This is a welcome invitation not only to participate actively but also to connect to inner wisdom. By freeing our minds of negative scripts, we are increasing the positive flow of energy. Hover-Kramer encourages the reader to nurture our yearning for a meaningful life. Her own positive attitude and enthusiasm almost jump off the page. In order to live our dreams, she often reminds us that self-discovery is at the heart of change. Letting go of more dysfunctional belief patterns will lead to greater self acceptance. Hover-Kramer then gives specific examples of what to do - access a beautiful memory, express gratitude, give affirmation, acknowledge positive intention, focus breathing. Staying curious increases hope for facing life's challenges. According to Hover-Kramer, miracles await us wherever we're willing to see them.

Creating a Satisfying and Fulfilling Life,
By Barbara Stone (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Chance at Your Dream: Engaging Your Body's Energy Resources for Optimal Aging, Creativity and Health (Paperback)
Hover-Kramer reframes the aging process from our collective fears of seeing ourselves as becoming worn-out and useless to viewing the "golden years" of later life as a prime opportunity to complete the parts of our life's work when we have maturity, skills, and time. Not only does she inspire us to see the gift of long life as a wonderful opportunity, but she also gives us practical tools and exercises to make our dreams happen. Dorothea is a pioneer in the field of energy therapies and has written many books. Second Chance at Your Dream includes many exercises from her earlier book Creative Energies, but working with the basic energy system of meridians and chakras does not change through the lifespan, and these simple Energy Psychology techniques are especially valuable as we age. Dorothea also addresses a topic which has been generally considered taboo in our society: death and dying. When we do not talk about the end of life, the natural conclusion of aging, we miss out on seeing the beauty of life as a cycle and the spiritual dimension of helping people prepare for the next world after the spirit leaves the physical body. The wisdom in this book is valuable for readers of any age!

A Must Read For Anyone Seeking To Live An Enriched, Fulfilling Life,
By
This review is from: Second Chance at Your Dream: Engaging Your Body's Energy Resources for Optimal Aging, Creativity and Health (Paperback)
The old saying "Life begins at 40" is, for many people, more fantasy than reality...
As we age, we typically undergo a plethora of different changes, including everything from decreased memory to slowing reflexes to diminished physical features. The reason? Quite naturally, our minds and bodies "tire" with age, and with them the concomitant pep and drive that keep us going every day. Until now, the phenomenon of diminished capacity/abilities with age has been an accepted - and expected - practice; however, in Second Chance At Your Dream, Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer writes a brand new chapter regarding the scope and quality of later life. A helpful guide for those who want to be active participants - and not mere observers - in the second halves of their lives, Second Chance is an expertly crafted volume that teaches readers how to use their body's natural energy in order to manifest optimal creativity and health. Furthermore, Dr. Hover-Kramer cites her vast array of personal and professional experiences as a means of providing readers with first-hand examples of how to equip themselves with the tools necessary to overcome unforeseen challenges, as well as thrive in the face of continued adversity. Bolstered by illustrative photos and practical, easy to follow tools and exercises, Second Chance encourages readers to embrace - rather than flee from - the omnipresent yearning for a meaningful life that lingers within us all. Reminding us that dispelling negative energy is the key to achieving true self acceptance - and ultimately realizing our dreams - Dr. Hover-Kramer reassures readers that miracles are not distant, unattainable phenomena, but rather ever-present, readily accessible gifts just waiting to be discovered every day. A must read for anyone seeking to live an enriched, fulfilling life, Second Chance At Your Dream is a highly recommended literary treat. Kenya Dow Apex Reviews
