Guy (CEO, Modern Sage Healing Ctr., NJ), in her first book, commits to sharing her healing philosophies with a broader audience, asserting that authentic emotional growth cannot be attained by detaching from or suppressing psychological trauma. She explains that both positive and negative experiences are essential to one's spiritual evolution, that people who ignore or "just let go of" particularly challenging segments of their lives leave insurmountable gaps in their healthy development. The process of recovery demands constant work without escape exits ("There is no pole-vaulting over reality"). Examples from the author's life surviving sexual abuse and addiction lend sincerity to the text, while "emotional workouts" focusing on chakras—the physical "centers within the body where spiritual power flows"—and meditation peppered throughout aid readers in practicing her prescribed techniques.
VERDICT A worthwhile, honest read for anyone fighting through and growing from emotional pain. Guy's come-as-you-are message paints a path to transformation rather than perfection.
