“Real Steps To Enlightenment – Dynamic Tools to Create Change”, by Amy Elizabeth Garcia (Llewellyn Worldwide) is a compassionate, highly readable book that addresses our connection with the Divine, and the need to maintain this connection for personal development. Garcia is a Reiki Master who receives guidance from her Angels and her Healing Guides, as she channels the Christ Force energy.

The foundation of this book is that each of us has the ability to design our own unique spiritual practice – one that works for us, and helps us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our connection to Spirit. It is addressed to those that are a bit overwhelmed by the many teachings out there that promise to lead to enlightenment. Each chapter in this book addresses a life lesson, such as Purpose, Joy, Trust, Release, Gratitude, Patience, Celebration, Clarity, or Healing.

Garcia breaks the journey to personal enlightenment into small, workable steps, with a real-life application of the tools that she has discovered on her journey. During the writing of this book Garcia was in contact with an entity from the causal plane by the name of Jahallah. This entity came from a plane where all spiritual lessons have been completed, and there is no longer a need to incarnate into the physical world. These entities act as guides and teachers to those of us still on the physical plane. The information in this book is channeled information.

At the beginning of each chapter is a short quoge from a well known figure. Each chapter is broken down into four sections: Jahallah’s message, a personal story that illustrates the concepts of the message, a prayer inspired by the angels, and a section devoted to the reader. In this fourth section the reader is encouraged to write down three ways to bring the qualities of Spirit discussed nt he chapter into their own daily experiences.

All four sections taken together help the reader implement positive change through utilizing (1)Iinformation, (2) Inspiration, (3) Intention and (4) Action.

I found the information in this book to be applicable to all of our lives, to be well written and easily understood, and presented in a gentle, non-threatening fashion. The manner in which this book is written allows the reader to go straight to the chapter that they may need at any given time. This is a book that is supportive, and acts as a good reference when we are struggling with something in our life. I highly recommend it to everyone.
