Soul Journey
By AndreaC
Written by a physican (also a student of Chinese medicine, energetics, qiqong, and meditation for many years) who heeded an inner voice during her meditations in 2010-11, Soul Journey is a book of contemplations and instructions on how to be closer to God. It was influenced by A Course in Miracles (the only spiritual book her "voice" allowed during this time)--and not dictated, as was the Course--but rather written by the author. Some of the themes covered in Soul Journey include

-Meditation (going within) and being one with God
-Love as a universal concept
-Observing thoughts, acknowledging them, and letting them go
-Interconnection with other humans and the universe
-Letting go of judgment and fear
-The concept of reincarnation
-Distinction between the ego and the soul

The writing is clear and readable, and the book is organized into three sections: the first is general instructions on how to meditate; the second explains concepts and answers anticipated questions; and the third consists of prayers and poems that reiterate concepts from the first two sections. Each of the meditations for the day is one page or less in length, and would make for calming, yet thought-provoking reading before sleep or as a centering way to begin the day.

The subtitle "100 Days to Inner Peace" is misleading, however, as it implies a "quick-fix" mentality that some self-help books foster. To form a meditation practice that can take one to this deep of a level would take more than exactly "100 days"; and when the "100 days" are completed, one will not be magically cured of all that ails. Even A Course in Miracles has an entire year's worth of lessons for students, not to mention the dense text and the manual for teachers. Soul Journey is not a book about a magical cure in a set period of time, despite the title; it is more about an ongoing spiritual lifestyle that can lead to a positive outcome.

An inspiring, nourishing source of wisdom
By Molly M.
I'm busy. My mind is everywhere in a day. There's a lot of stimuli happening all around us. It's easy to unconsciously move away from our heart space and inner knowingness on a daily basis.

And it's exactly because of those reasons that I greatly appreciated Soul Journey to Love: 100 Days to Inner Peace. I found each of the daily messages to be a beautiful exhale of loving reminders and insights about our innate wisdom, peace and Love.

Reading a chapter a day is not a new literary concept, but the wisdom and reference to A Course in Miracles coupled with Dr. Cohen's Divine messages makes this resource special. Some daily insights resonated with me very strongly and I referenced them a few times. Her writing style is digestible, straight-forward, and empowering. I like how the book is pided into three parts and a progression of knowledge takes place swiftly and easily. With some chapters I definitely felt a strong energy coming through me - loved that!

For practical purposes, this is an excellent nightstand read before going to bed and upon waking in the morning. It doesn't require a lot of time or a big commitment to starting another book. Each chapter is a simple, quality reminder that we are powerful and Divinely loved at all times.

Soul Journey
By Dianna H.
"...Each is on his own path. It is not for us to understand another more than we understand ourselves". Day 8, Soul Journey to Love: 100 Days to Inner Peace by Irene A. Cohen, M.D.

100 daily delectable bites of insight, Soul Journey to Love provides a valuable expansion to the Course In Miracles circle of wisdom. It is filled with Course complimentary prose, which goes right to the core of self and the journey.

Offering something for every style it is pided into 3 sections. The first provides practices and exercises to quiet the mind and go within, the second offers perspective on the universal mind and it's relation to us, and the third section consists of prayers and poems. As the author states it is not meant to be read all at once for it does follow the Course technique of building upon itself with some repetition. A gentle way to work with the mind by providing a familiar place to return while pacing the move forward into exploring the territory of new thought.

Practical, inspiring; a joy to read and reflect upon. Soul Journey to Love is a welcome addition to the Course In Miracles family, and sure to become a timeless favorite in any library.
