The Missing Key

This is a great little book, and I emphasize the word "little" in that Dyan Garris offers an effortlessly engaging guide to manifesting in a quick read that gets right to the heart of its title. While "manifesting" books and tools are no doubt enjoying immense popularity right now, Garris is the first to address the more subtle energies that may block our receptivity to all we desire, no matter how many exercises, visualizations and other law of attraction principles we practice. This accomplished musician and clairvoyant goes a step deeper by integrating an awareness of the chakras into her program for attracting greater success and abundance, guiding readers to uncover and release the unconscious patterns that may be sabotaging their efforts with detailed, simple exercises on how to clear, balance and activate the body's more etheric energies so that our positive thinking stems from a foundation of spiritually, emotionally and mentally aligned well-being.

And Garris delivers this all in an absorbing blend of fact and fiction, weaving stories with characters with whom readers will easily identify throughout her more instructional text -- a technique meant to integrate both left and right brain, and thereby start the manifesting process automatically. Never pedantic or preachy, she writes in the warm, breezy style of a dear friend inviting you into her confidence, displaying a witty humor that aids in making this a brisk and illuminating read that breaks through the manifesting plateau by quite literally rooting out the obstacles to creating a deeply satisfying and joyful life. -   N.
