Spirit Junkie

A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles

De: Gabrielle Bernstein, Marianne Williamson

Narrado por: Gabrielle Bernstein

“So long, Carrie Bradshaw - there’s a new role model for go-getting thirty-somethings. Gabrielle Bernstein is doling out inner peace and self-love for the postmodern spiritual set.” (Elle)

Foreword by Marianne Williamson

Before she became a celebrated teacher and lecturer, Gabrielle Bernstein was going down a dangerous path. For years, Bernstein struggled with eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and constant self-doubt and self-loathing. That all changed when she discovered A Course in Miracles, which taught her that much of what she feared in life was not frightening at all and, in many cases, not even real.

Now, Bernstein lives an empowered, healthy, and joyful life. In Spirit Junkie, Bernstein guides listeners through the life-changing lessons that shaped her spiritual journey: how we become accustomed to fearful ways of thinking, how to recognize and change those thought patterns to make way for bliss, and how to maintain our happiness and share it with the world. By understanding and changing our perceptions, hang-ups will melt away, resentments will release, and a childlike faith in joy will be reignited.

Praise for Spirit Junkie:

“For those ready to give up their addiction to suffering or who simply need to release the general malaise of a too-busy, too shallow way of life, Spirit Junkie is a soothing balm for the soul. Gabrielle Bernstein is a brilliant shining guide for all who seek to have more love, more light and more miracles in their life.” (Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In this mixture of humor, grief and how-to instructions on achieving enlightenment, Bernstein offers more than just autobiography or a user’s guide to meditation.... A groovy blend of meditative and instructive writing." ( Kirkus)

She took the words right out of my being!

I've been on a very similar spiritual journey like Gabbys since 2006 and although our stories of struggle and dark times aren't the same, our walk in Spirit is nearly parallel. Her words helped me understand many of the struggles I've had throughout my own walk in healing, and I know now that I am not alone. I look forward to reading more of her books and possibly attending her spirit junkie trainings. Thank you Gabby for your transparency, and clear cut communication and revelation. I am forever grateful. #namaste

Couldn't stop listening!

I really loved this piece! This book offers alternative, healthy perspectives on life that are applicable to anyone going through any phase or stage. Gabrielle does a great job with keeping it real inspiring real simple, yet grand, ways of change.

Surprised!

Sometimes you need something you didn’t even realize you needed and Spirit Junkie was that for me. I got tools from this book that I’ll use everyday to make peace with myself and create a better life. I hope you get just as much!

love love looooove Gabby

Gabby is my favorite author, sent to me from my spirit guides. I have read all but 2 of her books and really looking forward to her newest one coming out soon. Spirit Junkie was so relatable on so many levels and I feel like I need to listen 2-3 more times just like I did with Super Attractor!

Love Gabby's books!!

Always love Gabby's books!! Such an inspiration! Listening to her always brings me back to my spirit!!!

My husband and I listened go this together!

After going through a “breakdown” in our relationship, I suggested we both listen to this (independently). I guess we were both READY for the messages because it kicked off a series of the most authentic and beautiful heart-felt conversations, and included some real forgiveness. I can now see that our relationship spent too much time in ego-to-ego mode, and not enough in pure LOVE mode. Excited to put this in practice!

Great story and useful application

Gabby shared her story in a way that I could relate too, even as a middle aged dude. Her conclusions and applications apply to all.

One of my faves

I’ve listened just about a million times and continue to get something out of it every single time. Gabrielle is by far one of my favorites!

Gabby is amazing!

Thank you Gabby for all of your insight and inspiration. Through you life is so much better!

What made the experience of listening to Spirit Junkie the most enjoyable?

Gabby's personality makes hearing her read her story really endearing and touching. Her personality is unique, and so relatable. Over the past year that voice has helped me grow and adjust to some pretty difficult situations. While listening to the book I felt we were having another

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spirit Junkie?

I enjoyed hearing about her experience with John of God in more detail. Opening yourself up to what is possible, without building super-strong boundaries is key. Really touched me.

What does Gabrielle Bernstein bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The book is great, and after hearing her read I bought the book so I could go back and underline certain passages. For me, hearing her read seemed more personal. Perhaps that is because I've spoken to her one-on-one, on the phone. I like her gravel-y voice.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Spirit Junkie?

Since hearing the book, I have recognized the real power of meditation, and come to think of it as a non-negotiable in my life. I know Gabby loves her meditation, and now I'm recognizing the full value of being still with God. It's huge!
