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.

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.

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.

SUSAN USES HER INCREDIBLE INSIGHT AND EXPERIENCE TO LAY OUT A NUMBER OF LEADING EDGE PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL THERAPIES THAT ARE COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE BOTH TO THE LAY PERSON AS WELL AS FOR THERAPISTS WHO ARE NEW TO ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY (WHICH IS A FORM OF ACUPUNCTURE FOR THE EMOTIONS WITHOUT THE NEEDLES), AS WELL AS THE WORK OF PAST LIFE REGRESSION AND LIFE BETWEEN LIFE HYPNOTHERAPY. ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES SHE PRESENTS, THE WHEE TECHNIQUE, IS AN APPROACH I USE (ALSO CALLED THE BUTTERFLY HUG) WITH MY CLIENTS WORKING WITH TRAUMA AS AN ADJUNCT TO EMDR (EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING). BOTH THE WHEE METHOD AND EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE (EFT) ARE GENTLE, LOVING AND EASY FOR ANYONE TO USE TO CLEAR UNCONSCIOUS LIMITING BELIEFS AND NEGATIVE PATTERNS. SUSAN BRINGS 30 YEARS OF SENSITIVE EXPERIENCE TO HER RESEARCH. MOST COMPELLING IS HER 10 YEAR FOLLOW UP INTERVIEWS OF PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES WERE TRANSFORMED BY THESE PIONEERING STRATEGIES. LASTLY HER OFFERING OF RESOURCES AND MANY WEBSITES AND REFERRAL SOURCES COMPLETES THIS VERY THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE GUIDE FOR HEALING.
PAMELA HOLTMAN RN, LCSW

Soul Visioning is a clearly written and highly useful guide for navigating the journey to soul consciousness. With the scope of a veteran psychologist and the depth of a spiritual mentor, Susan offers seven transformational steps to connecting with your soul's vision. The insightful discussion of both personality and soul, along with very effective methods for removing obstacles to soul consciousness, offers guidance that is as practical as it is profound. I highly recommend this powerful book.

The truly important questions in life are "Why am I here?" and "What is the purpose of my life?" When we find the answers to these questions and get in touch with the reason we incarnated on the earth plane, then our lives transform into joy, vitality, and peace. Susan Wisehart's book Soul Visioning takes the reader step by step through a process to make this transformation possible.

Part One of the book describes in detail seven steps of connecting with your soul vision and includes understanding the evolving relationship between the soul and personality, answering the call of the soul and discovering your ideal future, clearing limiting beliefs holding us back, dynamic methods of rapid emotional healing from the new field of energy psychology, practicing true forgiveness as the key to happiness, and case examples.

But part one is not something you can just read and absorb all the benefits by osmosis. You have to actually work the steps, plunging into the depths of your own soul and using the writing exercises in the book and listening to the guided audio processes that supplement the exercises, free downloads from the internet. These beautiful, well-done recordings identify peak life experiences and take you on a soul-guided journey into your ideal future to find the next step in creating your ideal future. This process is a valuable addition to a person's spiritual growth repertoire--to keep finding the next best step all along one's life journey.

Part Two of the book moves into spiritual regression therapy, with case histories of the healing impact of past life regression, life between life regression, and soul visioning sessions. This part is filled with deep wisdom and healing guidelines that come from direct interaction with the spirit world. One example is a client's spirit guide advising her to set her intention at night before going to sleep to ask the spirit realm to rebalance and recharge her energy field.

This book helped me clarify my spiritual values, let go of dysfunctional patterns, and release the limiting belief that embracing my soul's mission of working with past life trauma is not safe. I realize now that the only truly safe place is in the center of one's reason for incarnating! Susan Wisehart is a gem, both a gifted therapist and an excellent writer. Her last name reflects the truth that she has a very wise heart!

Reviewer: Barbara Stone, PhD, author of Invisible Roots: How Healing Past Life Trauma Can Liberate Your Present

"Soul Visioning" is the most thorough book on transforming your life in the marketplace. It goes beyond manifestation and provides many practical self-healing techniques for clearing blocks and limitations in every aspect of your life. Susan generously shares over 30 years of experience and wisdom. The actual case studies are informative and inspiring! "Soul Visioning" is a must read for the therapist as well as anyone who desires to live a life aligned with their soul.
I highly recommend it for all!
Sharon Cohen, "Transformation Specialist"

Susan Wisehart has written a concise tool book of methods helping to identify and clear the blocks and limited beliefs, that seem to reoccur in our life. There are many ideas presented in the book, as well a exercises to experiment with. I found chapter six on soul forgiveness very helpful to my own clients helping them achieve peace of mind, and allowing them to move past the event. She writes specifically on forgiveness as it equals freedom. It is a liberating concept. I resonated with her writing on feeling "attacked" and knowing that it is really their unconscious fearful belief that they, themselves are not lovable. It was very freeing to understand this, and allows one to feel compassion. Much in this inspirational book allows the reader to gain an unprecedented larger focus, perhaps one not thought of before. At the end of the book the reader may be ready to open up to past life issues that could be infringing on their current life. Profound healing can take place by recognizing where the original damage was done. One day I believe these therapies will be commonly used to locate, and ultimate remove obstacles we are experiencing in life that seem to not have any relevance to our current life.

No matter where you are on the path of self discovery, this book should be on your most accessible bookshelf. It is a gem.

I have worked with Susan personally and must say I always leave her actually feeling different. Without much effort from my concious self, life simply presents itself in a new way! Or perhaps, I am the one who is seeing things in a new light. When I read this book, I couldn't help but realize that this was the missing link for a lot of folks. Soul Visioning gives you real tools to help us along on our journey. When we clear out the baggage, change occurs. It is truly that simple. We are all responsible for the choices we make and the reactions we have to whatever life dishes out. What we don't always realize is how profoundly our "blocks" affect those decisions and reactions. You may find yourself doing the same things over and over again with the same results thinking, "If I know I shouldn't do this, why do I keep following the same path?!?!" By working through these issues and releasing our blocks, we create a life where the pieces fall into place. Soul Visioning has helped me to remember who I am, the soul I always knew was deep inside, has finally been released and allowed to shine! Thanks Susan and thanks Soul Visioning!!

Soul Visioning doesn't promise a quick fix by asking a genie in a bottle to manifest all of your dreams instantly. Soul Visioning is for people who are motivated to put in the time and effort it takes to get unstuck and to get beyond the ego resistance of doing an honest self assessment. Susan describes the journey honestly and realistically by pointing out that we must address the limiting patterns and beliefs in our unconscious mind from this life and past lives that sabotage our Soul's vision. It goes beyond the usual ego laundry list of material things that the ego asks for....cars, jobs, houses, money, the perfect body or lover and asks the MOST important question: What does your SOUL want for your life? By following our Soul's guidance our lives ARE changed for the better! This book will be a guiding compass away from the ego's path of dead end detours littered with misleading signage to the lighted path of your eternal Soul.
