A Great way to Live Through Soul Centered Eyes!

Title Came to me for my birthday. Perfect timing for dealing with the death yesterday of my brother in law. My former wife got my gift of the book today. I am on my second listening and have bought the hard copy for notes as well. A free way to live. Free from the self imposed prison of grief, anger, greed, envy, and all the emotions the Ego brings up to us when we are not gratefu.

Seeing through Soul Centered Eyes is Awakening to our Grateful Soul. We are able to remove the rocks we insist on putting in our backback daily. Free at last, Free at last. The Prison door of our living is unlocked. All we need is to open the door with a grateful heart and Soul. The Nature of God is Love. The Nature of Human Kind is Love.

Clear guidance for living a grateful life

I am loving this book so much. The author’s personal story of surviving stage 4 cancer at a young age, which taught her to take nothing for granted, is powerful. The book is organized around a series of principles and practices for grateful living - with suggestions for how to apply them
In real life, with real difficulties and uncertainties. The author is narrating and I find her voice soothing and delightful.

I loved Wake Up Grateful!

Wake Up Grateful is just what we need now! How to look at challenges in life from a perspective of gratefulness. I love the stories and questions to think about. The author does a great job of reading it which gives many of the stories great power.

A wonderfully important book and the philosophy which will sustain us

This book is a gift to humanity.

In 2006, I was diagnosed and treated for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and I felt the authenticity of Kristi’s experience. In 1976, I survived what could have been a fatal van crash. Living mindfully to be present, rejecting taking things for granted / living with fear/ feeling crushed with anxiety and allowing negativity to hold power.

Being in the here and now, in your body, connected to other people and nature, living boldly your values.

This book is spiritual but not about religion. Being grateful works.

Excellent! Loved everything about it, content & narrator. So many useful insights that I can apply.

Have already shared with a friend. Am planning to order hard copy as well, as there are so many passages I want to revisit. The author has a beautiful way of weaving the words together.

Life Changing

This book is magnificent as is the narration. I devoured it and now plan to go through again slowly with a friend. Simply beautiful.

Wake up Grateful

Based on my favorite teacher’s beliefs, David Stendhal Rast, it didn’t have the same touching effect on me. I think it lacked more human experiences in the text.

Find Gratitude in the Great FULLNESS of Life!

Such an important and timely message. Enjoyed every morsel of this delicious guide to Waking Up Grateful.

Compelling!

Loved this audio book. Really enjoyed the perspective. The thoughtful insights help the listener understand how to remain grateful amidst difficult life experiences.
