Frequency

By: Penney Peirce

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's Summary

Because science has long taught us to rely on what we can see and touch, we often don't notice that our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy - that everything is vibrating. As we move out of the age of technology and into the age of intuition, we need the tools to understand what it means to be a vibrational being and how our natural frequency affects us.

In Frequency, Penney Peirce shows you how to feel your personal vibration and work intentionally with energy to transform your life. Rather than being carried by external, conflicting energies, you can still your mind and become aware of who you are - your natural frequency - and what you truly want to create. By fully understanding the role that energy plays, you can harness the real power behind the laws of the universe and reap the benefits of the life you're built for.

Critic Reviews

"Penney Peirce clarifies many of the energy principles that have previously been unacknowledged, but which we can now intentionally use to keep ourselves healthy and improve the realities we live in. I laughed out loud when I read this book, and enjoyed it immensely." (Richard Bartlett, author of Matrix Energetics)

Excellent!

Would you listen to Frequency again? Why?

The book touched on so many "Truths" and is filled with anecdotes with which I can relate. Will listen again to see what other good points were missed.

What other book might you compare Frequency to and why?

While this book is written from a different point of view, the "Truths" contained therein touched on areas many many other books did including those by Michael Beckwith, Eckart Tolle and Rhonda Byrne.

What about Laural Merlington’s performance did you like?

The performance was slow enough to get all of the points even at 1 1/2 speed.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Consciousness: Inside and Out

Any additional comments?

Wonderful book. Highly recommended!

Just tell your story

The subject is great. I love this higher level understanding of spirit and ego. Unfortunately the delivery was painful. I couldn't get past the never ending series of examples. For every new word spoken there were 3 to10 examples of that word. She must have been a preschool teacher, probably a very good one. But the subject is for those with expanded consciousness and broader comprehension of mind and spirit. Yet Penny the author, causes you to speed up and slow down the whole way through. Me and my wife began laughing after a while. Also frustrating were these compilations of well thought out phrases, placing together a series of words in an attempt to sound articulate yet coming across choppy, distorting the rhythm and the flow of what I think could have been a very interesting subject.
Classic example of a writer getting in her own way.

I listen to a lot of self-help books

Is there anything you would change about this book?

and I could not get anything out of this - I could not listen, focus , or engage in any way. I was pretty surprised after all the great reviews by dynamic speakers like Wayne Dyer, etc. I am not sure if I am just not ready for the message or her delivery and voice were a barrier to me but after 3 years of LOTS of listening this was the first thing I could not listen to . Others I have enjoyed: All of Pema Chodron, all of Bruce Tipton, Wayne Dyer, John Kabat Zinn, Kevin Todeschi, Jack Kornfield, Louise Hay, Ram Dass, all of Geneen Roth and The Power and The Secret audios. So - I do a lot of listening as a way to keep me awake in the boondocks of Southern Oregon. I will keep trying this off and on and see if anything changes for me.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Delivery did not engage me - maybe more interesting words - I am not sure...

Was Frequency worth the listening time?

Have not invested much time as it could not engage me

Any additional comments?

Maybe good for others - that is why I listed what I have liked so people can get an idea of my listening preferences.

Best book ever. An amazingly inspirational book fo

Not a book to be read completely in a single sitting, but a great one to simply stand back and digest each amazing chapter.How on earth, or in heaven, does she do it? Every time I re-read a chapter something new jumps out at me. It has been a joy. Thank you.

Deep and Complex

Would you try another book from Penney Peirce and/or Laural Merlington?

I am thinking if this book was told by another story teller, it would be easier to
listen too. It sounds a bit robotic at times and the voice sounds a bit stiff.
However, that being said, it's an excellent, well researched and written book. I think I will buy the book and give it a read.

Endless list of negativity

Would you try another book from Penney Peirce and/or Laural Merlington?

No

Has Frequency turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I'll continue searching for worthwhile material but if all books of this genre were like this I'd sooner read a comic book. At least there would be less negativity

Any additional comments?

About an hour into the book, I noticed myself getting physically ill listening to the book. I realized I had been listening to someone drone on and on with a never ending list of negative things that people feel. It was horrible. I bought this book to learn how frequencies and vibrations can be changed and I guess it did in fact show me first hand how that happens. Her negative bs has left me feeling sick and disgusted. I can't believe anyone bothered to publish this drivel.

The book of lists

What three words best describe Laural Merlington’s voice?

The readers voice is fine, even nice. However, the book is read at breakneck speed.

Any additional comments?

This is like someone complied a book of lists and then had someone read it...really fast. It isn't the worst audiobook I've ran into, but there are certainly better books to spend your time on.

Basically, the book has a lot of new-agey-type things in it, like stages and levels you will get to as you become more "enlightened," I guess. It rarely tells you how to obtain any of these levels, just that these are things you will experience as you rise up through the levels.

The thought I had while listening to it was, "New Age + Masons = Frequency," because the author is quite adept at creating lists of levels and stages. While a bit interesting here or there, some insight from the author on how to personally grow to some of these levels would be helpful.

Also, some background on why the author believed some of these things might be helpful. For example, some levels correspond to chakras. That's fine, at least a person can google that. But, some levels are obtained only after death...and apparently you can get stuck there until spirit guides come and show you how to move on. Ok, so how exactly did the author come upon this knowledge? Spirit guides teach her this? It's part of her religion? It's an ancient belief? Or...she just happened to have finished watching a copy of Astral City and thought she could work it into one of her lists???

All in all, I would bet that Penney Peirce is a 33rd degree New Ager, and I don't really mean that in a derogatory way. What I mean is, focusing on lists and levels without information that will help people move up...is it really that useful?

The one thing I thought might be useful about the book is for someone at "higher levels" to look back and reflect on their lives. That might be why one reviewer couldn't figure out the positive reviews from some authors and lecturers she enjoyed. It connected with them, because they could see themselves in the different stages of personal development.

Tough to Listen to Because i wasnt ready

I bought this book three years ago and just could not read it. then i listened to the ebook for a year and a half. still could not get through it either. then i started listening to it as i slept and i believe some of it sunk in finally. finished the book today and i need to listen to it over trying the Try This's and meditating to the Home Fequency Messages. It is a great book for someone who needs a 101 lesson on how to get started in listening to oneself.

So Awesome

Would you listen to Frequency again? Why?

Best explanation of how I process my life through positive and negative thoughts. That create my daily well being. We are electricity and are effected by positive and negative vibrations. Frequency is another way of understanding how it works. And how to choose to be as positive as you can, operate out of love, help others, enjoy life. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm listening to it for the 2nd time already.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Penny and her experiences.

Have you listened to any of Laural Merlington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

? not sure, but it was better than most performances.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Just chapter 1 through 11. It all moved me, I saw me and everyone around me reflected in this book, Very well written.

Any additional comments?

I have to give it a 'Life Changing' 5 star review.

Finally!

If you could sum up Frequency in three words, what would they be?

Perfect for Today!

What did you like best about this story?

I have been studying 'parapsychology' for over 40 years and Frequency is the course to take since it weeds out all the nonsense often associated with development of psychic ability.

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

Laural's voice and affinity for the subject really enhance the motivational aspect of the book.

Any additional comments?

Frequency has to make a difference to anyone who listens to (or reads) it. It gives so many alternatives to the old tired problem solving tools that are usually just lip service anyway. Understanding something about frequencies encourages you to translate the frequencies to define the situation and choose solutions. Totally therapeutic!
