The Relationship Handbook by Shakti Gawain and Gina Vucci
The Relationship Handbook by Shakti
Gawain and Gina Vucci is a beautifully written book for you to use right away
about ALL types of relationships in your life. If you want to learn strategies
to help make each of your relationships better (or know when it is time to move
on from them), this is a book you will definitely want to read!
Book
Description
“Using knowledge and skills honed over a lifetime of
teaching and learning, personal development pioneer Shakti Gawain presents a
powerful, life-changing work on a subject she has always been passionate about:
our relationships. In her popular workshops and in her personal life, she has
tested and refined the insights and exercises in this book, which she cowrote
with her longtime collaborator Gina Vucci. Their approach reflects the fact
that each of us is in relationships not only with romantic partners, family,
coworkers, and children, but also with internal core beliefs and a variety of
selves, including primary, disowned, and shadow selves.
These revelatory teachings incorporate strategies for becoming aware of hidden beliefs, applying the Voice Dialogue process developed by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone, and learning to experience every relationship as a path to self-knowledge. Through her gentle guidance, Shakti shows us how every relationship we have at every moment can be seen as a path toward greater consciousness, healing, and growth.” – The Relationship Handbook

My Thoughts
The
Relationship Handbook gives us all a powerful tool to use to create better
relationships with the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Most books
on this subject only look into personal or romantic relationships, but not this
one! This one also has us look deeper into ourselves and see the primary,
disowned, and shadow selves – how revolutionary!
Shakti gently guides us on a better path to
understanding ourselves so we can then not only have better relationships in
our lives, but to help us on a path to greater healing and growth. Learning how
to listen to ourselves is probably one of the harder things that she helps us
to do with this, but it is an important part to actually do if you want to
succeed with this handbook. The exercises contained in the book are excellent.
My favorite is the “Forgiving and Releasing Yourself” one which helps to
forgive ourselves for mistakes we have made to other people as well as
ourselves.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading and working
through this handbook. It is an excellent resource that I think everyone could
benefit from using. I highly recommend it.

Conscious Evolution by Barbara Marx Hubbard
Conscious Evolution by Barbara Marx
Hubbard is a book that will perhaps change the way you look at evolution and
the way our future as a civilization is headed – for the better. In this era of
unrest and fears of global catastrophes, Hubbard explains that these may just
be part of the storm before a big change in a “conscious evolution”.
Book
Description
“In this era of government gridlock, economic and
ecological devastation, and seemingly intractable global violence, our future
is ever more ripe for — and in need of — fresh, creative reimagining. With her
clear-eyed, inspiring, and sweeping vision of a possible global renaissance in
the new millennium, Barbara Marx Hubbard shows us that our current crises are
not the precursors of an apocalypse but the natural birth pains of an awakened,
universal humanity. This is our finest hour. Conscious Evolution highlights the tremendous potential of newfound
scientific knowledge, technological advances, and compassionate spirituality
and illustrates the opportunities that each of us has to fully participate in
this exciting stage of human history. As we do, we will bring forth all that is
within us and not only save ourselves, but evolve our world.” – Conscious
Evolution
My Thoughts
Conscious
Evolution is a really deep book that is an important text for humanity. It
has been updated by the author and includes additional response to the biggest
challenges and opportunities that we are currently seeing at this point in the
history of our world.
Hubbard takes us not just through the human potential
movement, but into the social potential movement that is helping to evolve our
world into social synergy, interconnectivity, and spirit based compassion for
all of humanity.
This book is composed of four parts: The New Story
of Creation, Conscious Evolution: A New Worldview, The Social Potential Movement,
and The Great Awakening.
I really like the overall message that instead of
working on our own selfish desires in our lives, we should instead be working
more towards a better future for all of humanity. I definitely recommend it.
