The revised and expanded 20th-anniversary edition of Iyanla Vanzant’s first published work offers a powerful path to self-empowerment through the revitalization of one’s spiritual and ancestral roots. Written with Iyanla’s signature healing stories, this classic guide to uniting the will with the spirit teaches that only you have the power to make a change for the better. With chapters on basic breathing and meditation techniques, setting up a home altar, connecting with ancestors and guardian spirits, and the extraordinary power of forgiveness, this book is a perfect companion on the way toward the real you.
Known for teaching by principle and example, this exclusive edition also contains Iyanla’s special “What I Know Now” commentaries and an original CD. These tools will challenge you to stop struggling and start recognizing that it is possible to reconcile your humanity with your divinity. Whether you are a beginner on the path or a veteran in need of refreshment, Iyanla’s prescriptions can support your growth from the comfort of spiritual adolescence to the wisdom of spiritual maturity. You no longer need to settle for the way things are . . . you can open up to the way things can be—if you dare to tap the power within!
EMPOWERING!!! The first page blew me away and then it continued. This is a truly inspiring book. The chapter on forgiveness was awesome and I am about to start releasing. Iyanla is one gifted sister and I thank her every day for sharing her gift and helping humankind to see that all is not lost if we fix ourselves first. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oustanding I have had this book for a long time and decided to read it for the first time this summer and I want all the readers to know this is truly an inspirational book. it’s one of Iyanla’s earlier books it is raw but believe me I couldn’t put it down. This book will make you sad, happy you will cry but most of all you will learn a lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed this book most of all I have all of her books but this one I feel is best of them all.
