This book became my personal friend,
By Annette Cantor "Annette Cantor" (Santa fe, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vibrant Life: Simple Meditations to Use Your Energy Effectively (Paperback)
"The Vibrant Life" is one of those books that have become my personal
friend: it rests on the bedside table, and every evening I pick it up to get a little dose of support. Just like a brief, friendly talk with a compassionate friend might do. Donna Thomson's language is so clear and simple, that it helps my own thinking clear up as I read. The advice is sound and practical, which is so precious to me: I often want help immediately. And I get immediate answers as to how to help myself. "The Vibrant Life" caught me at a moment in my life when I felt so overwhelmed with responsabilities that I could not even fathom finding any time for a consistent spiritual practice other then those moments before I went to sleep. "The Vibrant Life" showed me how simple it is to begin to take care of myself, and a spiritual practice has naturally evolved since then. With gratefulness and joy, Annette Cantor - singer and mother of 4 teenagers.

A Treasure of Simplicity and Effectiveness,
By
This review is from: The Vibrant Life: Simple Meditations to Use Your Energy Effectively (Paperback)
I have been privileged to work with Donna Thomson's meditations for many years now, and have found them to be entirely beneficial for myself and for clients of my psychotherapy practice. They are so easily accessible, and so direct and effective, that it is sometimes hard to believe that such simple methods could make such an immediate difference.

"It's Really Not So Complicated",
By
This review is from: The Vibrant Life: Simple Meditations to Use Your Energy Effectively (Paperback)
Donna Thomson's new book, The Vibrant Life, is a gem. In easy-to-digest sections, it outlines the use of the meditative mindstate to channel our energy for healing ourselves, our relationships, and our connections with the world. The key message is that we and everything we encounter is energy, and that we have the ability to influence this energy by our intention. Thomson's art is to present this life-changing premise with a light touch and to show us that we don't have to meditate in a cave for twenty years before changing our lives. Read this book, and start doing it now!
