Has anyone read "Sacred Contracts" by Caroline Myss?

[Phillycat]

I have a fried who is reading this book and she says I would love it, but she tends to be a little more New Age-y than I am, and I'm afraid I'll find it somewhat ridiculous. Has anyone read it and can tell me what the tone is?

1. Review

I have Anatomy of the Spirit.... I would suggest it to anyone.

We all come into this world with "Sacred Contracts," according to bestselling author Caroline Myss. Some know it as a calling. Some see it as a life mission. "In short, a Sacred Contract is an agreement your soul makes before you are born," Myss explains. "You promise to do certain things for yourself, for others, and for divine purposes. Part of the Contract requires that you discover what you are meant to do." Herein lies the rub. Decoding our Sacred Contract requires us to become fluent in the language of symbols and archetypes so that we can interpret dreams, understand the meaning behind "coincidences," and learn to follow our intuition.

This is why Myss (The Anatomy of the Spirit) offers an extensive lesson on helping readers recognize their personal archetypes (we have about 12 of them), such as the Avenger (righteous activists), Networker (journalists, messengers), or Prostitute (someone who "sells out" easily). Myss then goes on to help readers create their own "Chart of Origin" (which profiles your "spiritual DNA"), using the teachings of the chakras and astrology. Part science, part ancient tradition, part magic, this book will gratify readers who are prepared to study the fine print of their Sacred Contracts. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

2. Hmm.

I don't really believe much in these philosophies, like astrology and stuff like that. It sounds interesting though.

Thanks for the information! :)

3. I have seen Carolyn Myss once at a Seminar,

she is a serious person, and not a New Agey psychobabbler.
I have not read Sacred Contracts, but I did read "Anatomy of the Spirit", and while one can or not subscribe to her approach, she had a lot of interesting things to say.
