A spiritual journey is never easy, often bringing many questions and little explanations. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? Most people want to find the answers by using the same information that we have been taught for centuries. It is always refreshing to discover an alternative explanation to these important questions.
Our Goal Is God: A Guide to Spiritual Awakening, written by H. Thomas Miller, is an eye-opener designed to inspire people to live in spiritual awareness. This book unlocks the great mysteries of the universe, helping you understand the beauty of all creation.

Emotional Freedom:
Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life
Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life, by Judith Orloff, MD, is the perfect book to come along at the perfect time. I couldn’t put it down!
We live in a tumultuous, fear-dominated period in history and must become masters at overcoming fear and negative emotions so that they don’t sabotage our power. With skill and compassion, Dr. Orloff shows us how to become heroes in our own lives by transforming anger, loneliness, envy and more, rather than simply “reacting” when our buttons get pushed.
An Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an intuition expert, Dr. Orloff shares her wealth of personal and professional knowledge to illuminate the field of emotions. She draws on wisdom from traditional medicine, but goes light years beyond it by presenting emotions as a path to spiritual, energetic, and intuitive awakening. Why is this leap so important? The intellect has restricted vision about emotions, but bringing intuition into the feeling realm lets us go deeper within. Dr. Orloff asks us to see every success, every heartbreak, every loss, and every gain as vehicles for transformation. Everyone will benefit from this book’s insightful instructions, as well as from the author’s intimate personal journey and well-earned life wisdom. Judith is the kind of doctor we wish we all had.
Part One of the book introduces you to the four components of emotions: their biology, spirituality, energetic power, and psychology. Understanding each component in yourself will lead to inner breakthroughs that aren’t possible without seeing the whole picture. It also offers a self-assessment test to evaluate your current level of emotional freedom so you can increase it by practicing this book’s principles.
Dr. Orloff also helps readers determine their “emotional type” including “the intellectual,” and “the empath” so they can make the most of their own finest qualities. As an empath, Dr. Orloff knows the gigantic challenges of being an “emotional sponge” and teaches other empaths who’ve been labeled “overly sensitive” how to stay grounded in an often overwhelming world.
You’ll enjoy the “emotional vampire survival guide,” containing specific advice for dealing with emotional drainers. We’ve all met them. You’re talking to someone, when suddenly you feel anxious, depressed, or tired. She describes the narcissist, the victim, the controller, and other types of vampires. Plus, there are quizzes to help you determine if you are in a relationship with an emotional vampire or if you might be one yourself. Sometimes, we all have the capacity to be draining, but with mindful compassion, we can catch ourselves early and make a shift.
Part Two of the book offers a hands-on approach for facing the most prevalent negative emotions and building positive ones. Each chapter is called a “transformation” in which you learn how to turn a negative emotion into its counterpoint. For instance, fear is transformed with courage, frustration with patience, and jealousy with self-esteem.
You learn to do this by taking a wealth of quizzes, from Dr. Orloff’s patient studies, and her own intimate journey with each emotion. Emotional Freedom is the rare book that can open your mind and your heart to more empowerment. Give yourself a gift and read it.
