Soul & Psyche Revelations

It exceeded my expectations! I listened intently from inside my house to inside my car. It's message enchanted my mind, body and soul. It brought all my deep reflections together and them them a voice. I finally feel validated. I get it now. Be gone chatter as the Buddha voice is now here. I will out loud banish my fears and request of the Universe all of my hearts deepest desires. I finally know who I am, what I want and how to have it. Thank you Charlotte for your wisdom and for sharing the Buddha consciousness in dating & love and to the voice who brought it to life in this audio. I am eternally grateful. Namaste, Rosie S.

Enlightening

It was a wonderful book. Very enlightening, and motivating. I would recommend this book 100%.

A guide to finding an authentic loving relationship

This book is a must read to develop an intentional plan to a loving, Spirit-filled relationship without winging it as you go along. It offers understanding and reminds the reader that finding your beloved starts from within and radiates out.

Extremely helpful when I didn’t know I needed it.

Speaks to your soul about things you didn’t know you needed to hear or want to hear.

Beautiful in every way

Was very good book for those trying to date in a digital world. Really brings you back to the present. Voice was beautiful as well

Inspiring and comforting for those who are dating.

I’m 66 (going on 40, it seems) and I’ve been out in the dating world for a while. Two year+ relationships faded - and I continue the journey. Friend say that I set the bar too high…but after listening to this I’m setting it even higher. I’m doing the online dating thing but do need to get out there more in the real world. (Now that the pandemic is behind us.)
The book does need updating - it’s dated (unavoidable pun!) as it doesn’t mention online dating (which was very new in 1999). And, until Kasl shared that she was bisexual, I thought it was too focused on just heterosexual relationships. The narrator is warm and friendly and clear.
