Nine Simple Steps to Living the Life You Love,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "www.realityshifters.com" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
Sonia Choquette's book, YOUR HEART'S DESIRE, describes nine simple principles we can use successfully to find and follow our heart's true desires. While each idea may appear to be obvious, most of us could use a few reminders on how to: (1) Bring the dream into focus, (2) Gain support of the subconscious mind, (3) Imagine the heart's desire, (4) Eliminate obstacles, (5) Receive Intuitive Guidance, (6) Support the dream with love, (7) Surrender control, (8) Claim the dream, and (9) Stay true to the dream.Choquette knows that we create reality, and are better off when we don't spend a lot of time and energy contemplating what we're worried or upset about. She advises that our dreams come true more beautifully when we travel lightly, take responsibility for our dreams, and stop being control freaks. Choquette's many years of teaching workshops on this subject are evident in the enjoyable stories and excercises she includes in each section. She also includes a special meditation at the end of each chapter, so readers may better absorb the ideas. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking advice from a master of living life true to one's heart -- every page is a joy to read!

practical guidance for creating what you really want,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
I picked up Your Heart's Desire several years ago after reading the Psychic Pathway. The wisdom and principles, plus the inspiring stories kept me hooked---I finished it within a day. The real work started when I began playing with the 9 principles of creative manifestation. All I have to say is, if you use these principles, you're going to get what you want. I manifested my ideal mate, my amazingly wonderful career, and any physical thing that I wanted that I knew would support me in my life. Sonia points out that you must be very true to yourself in deciding what you want to create. If you're willing to do that, and you enjoy good story telling, you will probably enjoy this book. Have fun!! If you enjoy books on tape, you'll love the audio program.

Excellent resource listening to yourself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
Upbeat and positive advice for an overly self-critical world. This book is excellent for getting you to find those priorities in your life you haven't let yourself take seriously. Her exercises will not only help you clarify your goals, they'll energize you to act on them. She uses client histories to illustrate how sometimes we think we want something (or someone!) when that is really the superficial cover for a more profound or significant desire. She also provides excellent commentary and a new spin on the maxim, "Be careful what you wish for, you will get it." Sonia Choquette's spirited and easy writing makes following her suggested exercises a joy, not a chore. I couldn't put this book down once I first picked it up.

A realistic guide to creating the life you've always wanted.,
By Michael Bettine (DrumSci@aol.com) (Milwaukee, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
So many "self help" books read like college texts. They rarely inspire you to actually do something (I've got a bookshelf full of them). Sonia Choquette has written a book from the heart to the heart. There's no dogma, psuedo-science, or trickery here. Anybody can use this book, you don't need a guru or have to know some secret. All you need is an open mind and a willing heart. The execises are practical and fun to do! You feel like progress is being made. This is a voyage of self discovery that can actually get you where you want to go!!!

Heart Wisdom exceeds the Mind's Intellect,
By
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
Surprise! The head serves the heart .... not the other way around. If you get this ... and do this program ... you will be amazed at how charmed life can be.
Heart's Desire is one of the few practical books on the market on manifesting a heart's desire without alot of complicated concepts of New Age quantum physics. This book combines the forces of intellectual and physical goal attainment in conjunction with subconcious and emotional compliance to the actualization of a wish. Choquette illustrates in a 9 step system how anyone can use their intellect and intuition, head and heart towards harnessing their innate capacieties to get into the flow of a life they truly desire. Heart's Desire is a program that encourages a happy heart, a primary requirement to any wish, for if it is not in the heart ... it will NOT come to pass. Choquette also fosters people to get out of their head and the limited plans of the intellect. So on both counts she teaches people how to get out of their own way and allow their Higher Self (soul) to be in charge. The heart serves the soul. The intellect serves the ego. If you really want something, the heart and soul must be the twin flames towards the fire of creation. I refer to this program as "the heart-centered approach to being one's own genie" .... rather than a reliance on logic to make it happen. Miracles are the result of spirit not reason for no one became anything of significance by being reasonable. Just look at history and figures that beat the odds ... why? .... They had a fire in the belly which served their heart. Try this program with a happy heart and see how it goes. Don't be attached to the form but the essence of a wish. Realize that things will happen if you do your part and your heart is in it 100%. Without the blessing of the heart ... nothing is possible. In my life, this program manifested with incredible synchonicity jobs, people, lucky breaks, you name it. I followed the steps with a burning joy in my heart and it sped up the process. When I pursued a false goal it never worked no matter how much the ego was fighting for it. In 2005 my heart was fired up to change careers and it happened in 90 calendar days! I was like a laser thanks to this program. In 2006, I thought I wanted to manifest a new love relationship when really I just wanted to erase the memory of the person I was in love with but walked away from. No matter how hard I tried nothing happened except coffee dates with nice people. Why? The Universe does not support a lie. The heart never lies. It loves what it loves. Simple as that. Go with your heart and watch this magic carpet ride unfold better than you planned! On a personal note ... Choquette is one of the few psychics in the world who people should consult with if they feel the need for soul guidance. Her career was built on reputation as was this program she designed. So definitley .... check this out and go with the warmth ... you will never regret it ... romance your heart ... don't betray it .... and believe you do deserve a happy ending. Everyone does!

Sprituality in Practice,
By Joie Lake "JoAnn Melton" ("Arch City" St. Louis, MO & FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
As a resolution for the year 2000, I proclaimed that I would devote this year to applying all the spiritual information I've embraced, to practical application, in my life. Ms. Choquette's work arrived at exactly the perfect time to embrace it. Sonia Choquette's writing is gentle, guided, and gifted with applications that are practical to the human spiritual experience. She requires not that the reader find a mountaintop to begin to re-direct one's life. Beginning with where you are, and coaxing you to where you want to be, each message includes guidance and personal stories of her own evolution.I recommend this book with tremendous gratitude and warmth. At the reader's pace, or enthusiasm, each offering can be it's own opportunity for successful life changes. From the forward, by Julia Cameron, who's "The Artist's Way" (et al)tremendously touched me, I knew this book would be the basis for tremendous, yet, comfortable growth.

I have read this book every year since I bought it...,
By V. Burris "occassional reader" (VA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
I grew up in the age of Norman Vincent Peale and the power of positive thinking. But his book always seemed to lack something. Instructions!
This book puts in plain and simple ways how to see your desires coming true, how to make them come true and how to make your creative energy work for you. I write a goal workshop and have recommended everyone that joins up to get a copy of this book. Now! I am one of it's biggest fans. Simple and endearing, but with messages that are sure to touch you on deeper levels. If you're looking for a change, but don't know where to start, start here!

Deep Inspiration!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
When I first looked at this book, I thought it was just another flaky new age book but because the cover was so pretty, I decided to flip through it. Once I began reading it, I found that it not only was full of great insights that made a lot of sense, but extremely inspiring! It gives you the courage to forgive, to let go of anger, and to let go of fears that prevent you from reaching your potential! My life has not been the same since I read this book! Since I read this book, everyday is a day I make progress toward my dreams in life. It is a wonderful feeling! Another great book I'd recommend along these lines is "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is more theoretical but helps you understand everything and see the world including yourself as one coherent big picture! I think you won't be disappointed with these books.

Very Insightful Book,
This review is from: Your Heart's Desire: Instructions for Creating the Life You Really Want (Paperback)
I purchased this book after seeing a reference to Sonia in another self help series and I found it to be a very helpful read for those who are ready to take a serious look at what they really want in life. The author talks about her own experiences (including a very uplifting story about how she found a prince charming to take her to a dance) and she gives suggestions about how to prioritize and bring more positive things into your life. Her main point is focusing on positive thinking. However corny it sounds I have found that yes you can get more accomplished by being positive. Even if taking that first positive step forward is a little scary.
One thing I should point out is you have to be ready for this book. No one else can give you a roadmap to navigate your own life. An open mind and positive thinking will help you digest this book and make reading it worthwhile. |
