| Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Changing Negative Thought Patterns Through Angel Therapy | I found Doreen Virtue's Angel Therapy to be an inspiring guide to contacting the benevolent form of oneself and higher, angelic beings. These guides exist to assist each individual's journey toward such various aims as purity, health, creativity, life purpose, and, of course, love.
To cite an example, Doreen Virtue explains, being a psychologist, that one should learn to monitor his/her thought patterns. Fear is an illusion and purification from negative ways of thinking can be achieved through a communication with a higher form of an existing benevolent force. Only LOVE is eternal.
Doreen's book is an inspiring resource for transforming thought patterns in a positive manner. Writing on fear, Doreen explains an antidote,
"This rythym of eternal love is, in fact, the anchor that will save you from additional fear during the coming times ahead. Like the ticking beat of a mother's heart that calms and cradles a baby, your essence already contains the antidote to fear. Use this time now for preparation, by adjusting your mind and body rythym in gentle practice periods that you can use and call forth during periods ahead."
In final chapters, she includes a brief list of archangels and lists their functions. They include Michael - who reduces negativity, such as fear, and defends both goodness and light. Also he acts to protect and behave mercifully. Gabriel's purpose is divine counsel. Uriel - transformation, forgiveness, relationships, motivation, and inspiration. Raphael, seeking to guide those who are in search of healing, rules all aspects of healing, and protects travelers of every sort. He rules also over creativity, and emits a radiant emerald light. His strength of purification may surrender a symptom, for example toxic rage, which may be the source of a health problem.
She also teaches means and ways of communicating with the angels, purification, as well as developing a sense of safety.
I must admit, at first glance this book - as many self-help books do - seemed light, entertaining reading. But once I practiced therapeutic prayer, and each time I read an essay, that was a string of advice, it sunk in with more clarity. Communication with angels has been an excellent source of healing for me. It has also been a god-sent secondary healing force for the other who exists in my life. I am thankful for Doreen's gifts, and also to those angels whom I sense, imagine, and believe.
| | Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Great book! | | Great book easy to go right to the chapter you are looking for. Like Love,MONEY,health, or depression. It is a great little book! | | Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Doreen Virtue's Trademark Angel Product | There are a lot of dangerous products in the market right now and one very deceptive writer is Doreen Virtue whose Ph.D. is from a degree mill in California. Virtue's claim to fame is that she is teaching the world how to work with the angelic realm. Her trademark product is called Angel Therapy which is about working with one's angels to manifest what they want.
Wow ... in the Holy Bible whenever someone was met with an angel their reaction was one of fear. Angels are messengers and they reveal themselves to people to tell them to do God's bidding. Virtue has revised this ancient role by telling people that the angels are our errand boys just like the Greek pagan myth of Mercury and his winged feet!
Now everyone is entitled to their beliefs. The Crusades were a dark example in Christian when faith went out of hand and people killed in the name of God. However, one must always consider the source. It is not uncommon for employers to do a background check on potential workers. Nor is it foolish to interview a surgeon before deciding on having them operate on you. So ... let's consider the source of all these seemingly beautiful angel messages.
Doreen Virtue is on her fourth marriage to a man named Steven Farmer, who is a plastic shaman at best and promoting the pagan practice of animal spirit worship. Her Ph.D. is from an unaccredited Clarkson University (at least the Ph.D. program is not accredited) and she charges $2500 to train someone to become a medium. Doreen claimed to have worked at a psychiatric hospital that is now closed and when people call to verify her employment the response is vague at best. If I were an investor this would spell penny stock to me.
Nonetheless, I challenge readers to return to the Holy Bible for guidance on this and any other teacher. First, the good book says that even the Devil himself and his demons disguise themselves as angels of light. Their lure and promise is that you TOO could be like God. Of course, having been a high ranking angel before his fall, the dark side leader himself knows the bible inside out to twist you into believing its OK to play with sorcery. Buyer beware in this age of spiritual commercialization.
Every major religion demands sublimation to God. Every major religion in its pure form has rules. The Old and New Testament forbid idolatry and many of these New Age guru are akin to the gold lamb that God destroyed when the Israelites forgot that he delivered them out of bondage in Egypt. By following without discernment New Age writers with belief systems contrary to Christianity ... you are walking back into bondage whether you agree or not.
Finally, God is NOT your errand boy and neither are the Archangels, angels, seraphim, etc. You are here to serve God and the angels has said in the bible not to worship them instead of God but to call on them to protect from dark forces. There are only 7 Archangels not the 109 made-up names that Doreen Virtue invented. If she invented her Ph.D. and professional background, she probably invented these other spiritual beings or perhaps they are running her. Nonetheless.... as God is my witness ... I declare that these New Age books are potentially violations of the First Commandment. In the end, no matter what magic the Egyptian Sorcerers pulled on Moses, it was God's will that was done .... Pharaoh's earthly power was no match and the Israelites were set free.
The best cure is prevention of spiritual bondage ... trust wholly in God and him alone.
The Angel Therapy movement is akin to the story of the Apostle Paul and his meeting with the witch of Endor.....
Final Thoughts on Doreen as a spiritual teacher which applies to all spirit-based teachers, and since Doreen is using the Judeo-Christian concept of angels I'll offer some guidance from this particular religious tradition:
(Sirach 37:7-9 on caution in taking advice)
All counselors praise the counsel they give
But some give counsel in their own interest
Be wary of a counselor
and learn first what is his interest
for he will take thought for himself
So ..... Sirach 37:12-15 offers this additional guidance
Instead, associate with a religious man, who you are sure keeps the commandments; Who is like-minded with yourself and will feel for you if you fall.
Then, too, heed your own heart's counsel; for what have you that you can depend on more?
A man's conscience can tell him his situation better than seven watchmen in a lofty tower.
Most important of all, pray to God to set your feet in the path of truth.
| | Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Healing Messages | | What a great book on how to find peace amist all the problems we face daily.. Channelled messages from your angels to help with our day to day life and issues.. A great read.. Dont miss out on this one.. Nicole | | Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Angel Therapy by Doreen Virtue | | I LOVED the review by the young person that said "T. Miller doesn't know what he is talking about". Out of the mouths of babes... I love Ms. Virtues books and having had many experiences and help myself, IN ADDITION TO A VISITATION during a very severe illness (NO it wasn't a hallucination, I was AWAKE AND VERY AWARE), I KNOW I have my guardian angel as well as others that help me when I need it and ask. DID HE NOT READ THE PART IN THE BIBLE THAT SAID THAT GOD GAVE THE ANGELS CHARGE OVER US? He states he used to be an atheist, it shows, his heart is STILL CLOSED and hardened to some important parts of spirituality. Ms. Virtue not only teaches you about the wonders and miracles of having YOUR OWN guardian angel (and others that assist) but about faith, hope,and about all the different ways that God helps and how he may send help. Even if you are skeptical, it beats being hopeless, helpless and bitter. I have known SO many "so called "christian" that come up with things that WHO knows WHERE they got the idea from, at least THIS HAS ROOTS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. All her books are interesting and uplifting and very helpful and hopefull to read. They definetly improved my outlook and gave me a more peaceful, calm and better feeling and a better state of mind and attitude. I would recommend any of her books. Angels have been spoken of in religion and the bible so I sincerely DOUBT the are "new age stuff". Speak to anyone who has had a N.D.E., serious illness or a strange encounter with someone that they couldn't explain, but it changed the course of something in their life in a good and helping way. They will tell you how comforting it is to know you have been granted by God to have someone with you all the time the HE picked out to be YOUR guardian. How wonderful to be taught how to communicate with that God given being when you feel like it or need it and to know that they are there with you just waiting. Oh, T.Miller... "For he will command his angels concerning you to Guard you in all your ways" Psalms 91:11 Check it out. And then NEVER put down someone for believing in Angels. Apparently, someone BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOU DOES TOO, IN FACT HE BROUGHT THEM TO BEING! | | Angel Therapy: Healing Messages for Every Area of Your Life by Hay House Book Description | | Can help you with troubling emotions such as depression, boredom, confusion, and anger; and issues associated with careers, relationships, and family. |
