Revolutionary Book on Manifestation, October 5, 2008
This review is from: Soul Visioning: Clear the Past, Create Your Future (Paperback)
This book is for anyone who feels totally STUCK and TRAPPED in his or her life or any therapist, friend or family member who wants to help such a person. In fact, this would be an extraordinary book to use for a family or group of friends to change their lives together. Soul Visioning is unlike any other book, tape or program on manifestation that I have ever experienced. It is so far beyond THE SECRET and that genre of manifestation offerings that it cannot be compared. First of all - as any of you who have worked diligently at manifesting your dreams hopes and prayers know - they do not always work out even if you "do everything right". This book explains in meticulous detail - not only why this happens - but it leads you by the hand, step-by-step, to the solution. In a nutshell - if we try to manifest our future from our fears, our desires, our fantasies and all the illusions that we tell us will make us truly happy, we will never be successful or permanently satisfied. We need to access the deepest, wisest and all knowing part of ourselves - OUR VERY SOUL - the part of us that KNOWS what we were born to do - before we can achieve and manifest our truth, our future, the very purpose for our birth - which is to be fulfilled and happy. A fascinating fact to illustrate this is that the book states that fully 95% of everything we think and do is based on our SUBCONSCIOUS mind and that only 5% of what we think and do is AWAKE, AWARE and CONSCIOUS. The book helps us to CONNECT and MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION with the 5% that SHOULD be in charge.
This books represents not only 30 years of the authors personal experience but it is the most thorough book I have ever read. It duplicates the experience of going through one of her personal seminars. It gives you everything that you need to "do it yourself" from free down loadable audio tapes to guided meditations, work sheets and detailed descriptions. It is filled with substance and case studies, testimonials and personal experiences too numerous to mention. If you are trying to decide which book or program on manifestation to buy - look no further. This is the one you will start with and this is the one you will end with.

Like no other book I have found, November 12, 2008
This review is from: Soul Visioning: Clear the Past, Create Your Future (Paperback)
Soul Visioning is like no other book I have found--and that's saying a lot, because I own enough books on manifesting and spiritual growth to open a small library. I used to wonder what was stopping me from creating a life of purpose, abundance, and happiness. Sure, I knew some of my longstanding beliefs that were keeping me from focusing on and manifesting my soul purpose and passion. But on my own, I couldn't release them. One-on-one sessions with a good holistic therapist or life coach might have helped. But I'd think: when I clear my old blocks surrounding money, I'll have the money to hire someone who can help me clear my old blocks!
Now holistic psychotherapist Susan Wisehart has thrown us a lifeline. Soul Visioning offers a "workshop within a book" that is as experiential and user-friendly as possible. As you progress through Susan's 7-step process, you will connect with your soul's wisdom and take several guided journeys to peak experiences and to your ideal future (as if it is happening right now). You can listen to audio steps on CD or as a free MP3 download that is on the author's website: [...]. You can also download worksheets to use with writing exercises that will help you express your soul's wisdom in the most important areas of your life.
But the true value of Soul Visioning is that Susan guides us past the places where most of us get stuck when we try to manifest. First, when we're choosing WHAT we want to create, often we base those choices on the limited perspective of our ego or personality. Through Susan's guided audio sessions, you connect instead with the purpose of your Higher Self and receive guidance on how to express that purpose in every area of your life, including health, career, finances, relationships, and personal growth. Second, many of us feel "blocked" by unconscious beliefs and patterns that sabotage our soul's expression. Soul Visioning presents new, revolutionary self-help methods to clear those old beliefs and install new ones, including an Energy Psychology technique that is easy to learn and use but profound in its results.
The book's first half takes you through the entire process, including inspiring true stories on how Soul Visioning has helped others to express their soul's vision. But what about those of us with limiting beliefs that are so deeply buried beneath our conscious awareness that we can't access and heal them on our own? The second half of Susan's book introduces you to two soul-based therapies that often work when other methods don't: Past-Life regression and Life-Between-Lives regression. You'll learn what happens during a regression, read dramatic case histories and long-term follow-up interviews with people who have transformed their lives using these powerful methods, and access resources to help you find a qualified PLR or LBL practitioner.
And the journey doesn't end with this book, because Susan offers many resources for further exploration. Down the road, she will offer teleconferences "for those who want added group support to keep their vision alive," in addition to her current workshops and retreats. So if you have enough self-help books to open a library but still haven't created the life you desire, give yourself the gift of this book.

What Does Your Soul Want for You?, November 11, 2008
This review is from: Soul Visioning: Clear the Past, Create Your Future (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you saw my copy, you'd laugh at all of the post-it tabs sticking out from the pages. But those tabs are there for a reason--some of them take me to exercises or guided experiences and others take me to a paragraph or phrase that I want to be reminded of when I need insight.
What I especially like about the book is that it's really comprehensive. I didn't expect a book about manifesting at the spiritual level to contain so many truly practical techniques for getting unstuck that are useful almost every day.
In Soul visioning, Susan Wisehart gives us her "Seven Steps to Connecting with your Soul's Vision." I know that a lot of people have been reading about manifesting what they want. This book goes so much deeper. It's about doing the work of learning what your soul wants...what it wants for you.
Part One takes us through the philosophy and practice of the seven steps:
One: The Evolving Relationship between Our Soul and Personality
This chapter talks about obstacles to soul expression, the role of personality, and Susan's theory of Personality Integration and the stages of personality-soul alignment.
Two: Answering the Call of the Soul
How to tell the difference between messages from the personality and the soul. This chapter also goes into specific qualities of the soul and the importance of discovering your soul's passion.
Three: Connect to Your Soul, Discover Your Ideal Future
Chapter Three gets to the first of the "guided journeys" (there are recordings of these on Susan's web site) and written exercises (these are also available on Susan's site) that took me from theory and philosophy to getting in touch with my own soul's ideals. I found the guided journeys to be helpful in getting past goals I want to achieve to ideals that my soul wants me to live.
Four: What's Really Holding You Back?
We're really getting into it here: limiting beliefs and payoffs. Damn.
Five: New Methods to Clear Your Path
Susan starts this chapter, "Here is the chapter you have been waiting for!" I guess so, given the number of post-it flags directing me back to these pages. Susan talks about several Energy Psychology techniques including the "WHEE Method" (Whole Healing--Easily and Effectively). After I used the method a few times, it felt pretty easy. And I'm always amazed that it actually works. I just have to remember to do it.
Six: Forgiveness is the Key to Happiness
Soul forgiveness, that is. Some good exercises and meditations in this chapter.
Seven: Real Life Accounts of Soul Visioning
Even though Susan has placed lots of examples of people's experiences throughout the book (and I mean LOTS--she's obviously been doing this for some time and has collected some amazing experiences), I appreciated having an entire chapter filled just with stories of other people's soul journeys. Lots of insights here.
Part Two takes us into Regression Therapy:
Eight: Past-Life Regression and Life-Between-Lives Regression
I've read several of Brian Weiss' books and Susan's experiences with clients are similar. She explains the process and her philosophy of regression therapy clearly.
Nine: Case Histories of Past-Life and Life-Between-Lives Regression
All I can say is: absolutely fascinating!
There are also more book resources and information on Susan's web site, SusanWisehart-com. I appreciated being able to print out the written exercises and I especially enjoyed being able to listen to the guided journeys.
