Book Review Goshen: When Spirit Speaks and Inspires an Artist Through Nature
May 29, 2011 by Jenn Royster
Filed under •-Headline, Books, Nature, Spirituality
Goshen is a mystical place nestled in the Virginia Mountains, bursting with Spiritual Wisdom. For Jack and Judy Witt, visits to Goshen were full of spiritual connection to nature and inspiration to paint and share their experience.
Together, they have created beautiful energy bound in two books that pays tribute and gives gratitude back to Goshen, a place that fills and restores their Spirit. They allow us to follow along and be a part of their personal journey in this beautifully illustrated set.
Walking along the river’s gentle flow of water and the majestic trees in these mountains, Jack and Judy feel the connection to the web of life. Spirit has filled their hearts with motivation to share it’s message of oneness with all of life.
For artists, lovers or anyone willing to venture into childlike wonder, these books will inspire you to “look within” while taking a walk through nature. Discover the unseen world that’s waiting to connect with you and share spiritual connection.
The indigenous people have always understood and respected the spirit in nature giving thanks and putting back whatever they use for themselves. Giving and receiving in balance. I found their work to be a Divine Timing with the changes and earth’s release of energies for a demension waiting for us
There are two books: The first one is called Goshen: Lessons from the River and the second one is called Goshen: Revisited. Both are filled with the magic and beauty of Goshen through the artistic expression of Jack and Judy Witt.
It’s like a colorful storybook for grownups. You can’t help but smile, feel inspired and swept away in this visual meditation, a place you will want to visit often.

The Map: Finding the Magic and Meaning in the Story of Your Life
One of the this year’s best and must read books in self help and healing. Colette openly shares her own life’s challenges in the book as examples, taking you through a fascinating and quite revealing look at yourself. An eye opener to reveal what is causing the pain and steps to release it.
The book is a navigational map through the self. She walks you through step by step and offers exercises at the end of each chapter to work through and release what you discover within you.
I recently had the privilege of speaking with Colette on my radio show Intuitive Insights and Distant Energy Healing on VividLife Radio. On the show she spoke about the process and how she came about writing this extraordinary book. You want to check out the On Demand Podcast and see for yourself what this Best Selling Author has to say.
Thank you Colette for an excellent workbook that will indeed help the masses. A much needed book in today’s world.
About the Book:
Colette’s latest book The Map: Finding The Magic And Meaning In The Story Of Your Life became a bestseller overnight and is destined to be a classic. Enter a deep journey into your inner landscape and meet the imaginary beings that hold the keys to the wisdom hidden in your subconscious: the Wizard of Awareness, the Gentle Gardener, the Bone Collector, and the spirits of the psychological terrain you traverse, who know where to find the treasure in each experience. Discover how to tame the mischievous trickster Goblin, who locks you into old habits. Each of these aspects of your psyche has lessons for you, and each responds to your directions, for you are in charge of your own map.

Book Review: The Angel Therapy Handbook by Doreen Virtue
April 19, 2011 by Jenn Royster
Filed under •-Headline, Angels, Books
Over the years I have read several books by Doreen Virtue and all have been an inspiration. HayHouse, Inc., the publisher recently sent me her latest book release called The Angel Therapy Handbook
for review.
First off, let me say, that this book is beautiful spiritually and physically. A collectable on any angel lovers shelf and if you’re a fan of the best selling author, you’ll want to check this one out. Doreen has given us guidance on how to connect with our angels and how much they love us. Many of you have moved on to be Angel Therapy Healers serving others.
In this latest Angel Therapy handbook, you’ll find a compiled over view of the angelic realm and a section on the methods of Angel Therapy that take you through the steps on how to communicate with Heaven for personal guidance or on behalf of others. The Angel Therapy methods section include: Talking with your Angels, the Four “Clairs”, giving an Angel Reading, using oracle cards and Angel Therapy healing.
I especially enjoyed the section on helpful solutions and guidance for lightworkers that may be considering a spiritual based practice or those already in the world actively serving others. This section includes discovering your purpose, self care for Spiritual Teachers and Healers, and action steps to take if you want to pursue a spiritual based career.
The abundance of practical advice and encouragement is nourishing, like a breath of fresh air for anyone working in this arena. As a lightworker and healer myself, I know many likeminded souls out there are asking: Is this new, or will this book be something I have already read?
My answer is you will love this handbook and there will be something new for everyone. Like I said earlier, it’s a beautiful book, but to clarify more, it’s a beautiful reference manual that serves a great purpose when you need a quick reference and support. We all know, that this type of work is full of the unexpected challenges and blessings that come along with the service we offer others.
For those new to Angel Therapy or you want to begin a journey to connect with your angels. This is a great book for you too. It will introduce you to your angels. From there, you will find that you may want to dig in deeper in a particular area and move on to other books that are more specific studies.
The appendix includes information on the Archangels including their specialties, their halo colors, crystals, gemstones, and astrological signs associated with the Archangels.
