Book Description
Is it possible to consciously evoke the divine as a presence and resource in your life--anytime, anywhere? Not only is it possible, teaches Caroline Myss, but each of us is in fact a "channel for grace." Why? Because grace is something we all manifest in two profound ways: internally as divine guidance; and externally, as our expression of personal power. On Channeling Grace, the bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit presents a two-CD audio learning course to help listeners bring this dynamic force into their lives. On Part One, Myss explores why grace is especially relevant today, how to recognize it in our lives, and the requirements for intentionally contacting grace. On Part Two, she teaches a full set of guided visualizations for connecting with this spiritual resource to: * Receive direction for important life decisions * Understand the subtle nature of your field of grace * Invoke the divine to heal ourselves and others * Foster inspiration and creativity. "Grace is a profound force that is continually active in our lives through countless subtle and direct means," teaches Caroline Myss. "Once you grasp the gentle nature of grace, you can recognize its constant presence and influence in your life." Now, this internationally renowned speaker and energy medicine expert offers insights on this unspoken principle in her own life, one that is of utmost importance for anyone seeking continuous spiritual growth and transformation.

Beautiful, powerful and moving. July 25, 2008
Caroline is certainly say it like it is and don't sugar coat it kind of person. I found myself jumping in spots as Caroline yells at you - but then I know she is extremely passionate about what she is talking about - Grace. This might be off putting to many people but I believe it is because she is passionate about God.
I also found myself confused at times as she seems to put God in a box as "a judgmental someone" out there (the Catholic God I grew up with), and then turns it around that God is NOT "someone" out there but is a loving being out there while simultaneously being a part of us - the God I have come to know. I found that a little disconcerting. I also agree with the other reviewer about the mind. She says the mind plays tricks on you - yes it does. The mind can not heal you. But we are commanded to "love God with all of our hearts, souls and minds". I think there is a good reason mind is mentioned - we need to train our minds to think in line with our heart and soul rather than allow it to wander off on its pseudo intellectual pursuits. We need to practice being present and aware of what is on our minds. There is much more to say about that but for what it's worth that was my 2 on the subject.
If you are a person like myself who has wondered what on Earth Grace means, this will answer your questions about it. Aside from the confusion about how she refers to God at times, The meditations / invocations are powerful and oh so beautiful. Caroline Myss has an incredible gift as a wordsmith. This will certainly open your eyes to grace abounding in your life.

Highly recommended.

Instructional w/some meditation May 25, 2008

This is a 2-CD set, a total of approximately 2 1/2 hours of primarily lecture with a couple of meditations (referred to as "invocations"). This is my first Caroline Myss product, so I cannot compare it to any of her other materials. It is new material, produced in 2008, and is a "Sounds True" production. Carolyn holds degrees in journalism, theology, and intuition and energy medicine. Let me begin by saying that this material is VERY God-based, so, if "God" offends you, step away from this review now and move on to some other product. If you are still with me, read on.
This is an excellent product, very simple, very easy to understand. Caroline comes off as a sort of preacher. You can listen to most of it in the car, but NOT the "invocations." They are meditative and could send you to "the other side" a little earlier than expected (or to the car dealership). The collection is about establishing a relationship with God and recognizing "grace" and an illumination to the light of God. If I remember correctly, all of the invocations were on the 2nd CD, and they were to "contact grace directly, navigate your path in times of chaos, gain clarity and direction in your life, and heal yourself or others". She even has you floating around the galaxies in the "Breath of God".
The set makes you feel like you are sitting in a personal instructional session with Caroline for the afternoon. It is not about any particular religion but much about experiencing a direct connection with God and the Divine guidance you receive every day. It is so well done I would not hesitate to give this set to a nun for a gift.
In the 2nd disc, Carolyn talks about her astronomer friend from Russia who studies the dynamics of galaxies and the pix he showed her from the Hubble telescope. She tells us these massive views are somewhat representative of God to her, the expansiveness, etc. In the first invocation, you ask God to place a candle in your heart, representing His illumination. You refer back to the candle when you want to talk to Him. She refers back to the candle throughout the CD. Nicely done.
This is a nice CD to gift out, especially for someone who is in need of hope.
Just to close with my personal comment (It's free)-The only thing that doesn't feel exactly right to me, is that Caroline seems to be saying that controlling the mind doesn't do anything for you, only God and your prayers to Him, and pardon me if I am misunderstanding her intent. (She seems to be referring to a lot of material in print that tells you about using your mind to manifest health and abundance in all things.) But, I believe God wants you to work in PARTNERSHIP with Him. I think that's where controlling your mind comes into play. I believe that God wants you to try to do stuff yourself, with His guidance, and to live in peace and gratitude. I believe God wants you to try to participate in your own healing and to learn from the experience. If you just prayed all the time and said, "God, please gimme xxxx," what would your human experience on earth be?
