Over the years I’ve read a lot of books focusing on what we need to shift in order to be more at peace with ourselves and who we are. For all their words, they all, ultimately, say the same thing ‘be true to who you are’. They may say it in different ways, explain it by different imagery but that statement is effectively all you need to know.However, knowing that it really is this simple makes for a difficult road ahead when you try to change your focus and attitude to life and the world around you. Everything is thrown into chaos as you try to navigate a new reality in a way that makes sense to this brand new knowledge. It’s not as easy to get there as we thought it would be.We all know that when we are lost a map helps us to see the way forward, getting us to where we are going in the easiest way possible. Penni explains that in order to reach our goal we need to keep asking the question ‘why?’, it is in the constant questioning of our assumptions about the world that we will move through each of the five rings of consciousness she discusses in more depth.It is an unusual little book, in some ways it’s probably more suited to those who are already on the journey of self discovery and fulfillment as it is written with a certain degree of assumption about prior knowledge; and yet, there are many truths that will resonate with anyone who is open to change. I’ll certainly be keeping and referring to it in the months to come.
