"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,

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.

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!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Ms. Thomson's approach to using these simple meditation ideas in everyday life. The book will, I am certain, be of great help to people in a variety of different situations--those who just would like to experience a moment of calm and peace in an otherwise frenetic day, people who are not feeling in touch with their own energy, or even "seasoned meditators". For myself, (having had a schedule this last year so crazy I was happy to stop at red lights to take a deep breath), I am enjoying experimenting with some of the meditations in the book and am finding them enormously helpful. I highly recommend THE VIBRANT LIFE to readers looking for new tools to make friends with their own life energies.

THE VIBRANT LIFE: SIMPLE MEDITATIONS TO USE YOUR ENERGY EFFECTIVELY offers up a manual of practical meditations to help understand and conserve energy. Learn how to set boundaries, prevent energy drain in difficult relationships, and work with negative thought patterns through a simple set of exercises perfect for new age libraries; particularly those who would use specific, applied meditative techniques to life scenarios.

The Vibrant Life is one of those books that you can just open at random and start reading, and it will inspire your spiritual journey every time. It is very accessible, practical, and powerfully elegant. Donna Thomson is a very accomplished spiritual teacher. I am really happy to have found this little gem.
