Outrageous Openness: Letting Divine Lead

読みやすくてカバーが素敵！

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I was searching for a book on surrender with real life examples of people surrendering to the divine and how it changed their lives for the better and this book includes this and more! The stories are engaging and cover various life circumstances relatable to readers from all walks of life. I absolutely adore this book!

There are many published books these days solely focusing on the law of attraction and how creating vision boards will help you attract your best life. Although these books are correct and well-intentioned, I feel these books are missing a huge chunk which this book helps fill. It was very inspiring to read how the author and her clients were divinely guided to living the life that is meant for them instead of chasing dreams that don’t belong to them. It’s truly refreshing to read something like this these days. It has given me so much hope and faith. I feel blessed to have found this book. I will be using this book as an oracle every morning to start my day :). You won’t regret buying this book, seriously it just might help you get through your day, month, or year 🙂

Read it cover to cover, or pick a spot on the fly — you’re going to walk away with something really powerful. I was reading this and it went missing from my night table — because my partner was intrigued, started reading it, and then couldn’t put it down! I’ve even bought a second copy to gift to a friend. Powerful to different people for different reasons; very interesting to hear what folx takeaways are, each time I ask. My perspective — this was a very powerful read for anyone who has ever hit rock bottom, but still felt like the world was somehow taking care of them. Highly recommend!

Tosha Silver”s easy-to-read, insightful and beautifully written book spoke to me on so many levels and, truly caused a miraculous paradigm shift in my Being. Letting go and letting God is not a new concept for me.. Iin fact , utilizing this concept over the past seven years since my divorce has given me such great peace and joy. But when it came to finding my next forever companion I still hung on to a belief that I was the Master in that realm of my life. Over the past three years, I joined no less than a half dozen dating sites, I wrote, re-wrote and re-wrote my dating profiles aiming to say “just the right words” to catch the eye of my future prince charming. I changed my dating photos every week if I felt some were to sexy, or others too conservative or others not showing my best assets. I went on about 100 dates in those three years. Most of those dates never went beyond that single first meeting.

I began then to attend various events of my interest, believing that I had simply been fishing in the wrong pond through the use of dating sites. I went to a variety of spiritual evens, meditation, concerts, single dance events, etc.

While absorbing Tosha’s book and opening my heart to her words of giving everything to the Divine–all my hopes and dreams and goals, I attended yet another event , albeit still with a flickinghope that I would meet that elusive guy of my dreams. I attended an Introduction to Tantra meditation class. There were at least 60 people attending. The event description stated it was open to couples and individuals. Per the instructions at the door, I removed my shoes at the door and placed them next to about 100 other shoes. The only spot on the floor open in the meditation room for me to sit was in a corner. I set my pillow down and sat down upon it.. After about 15 minutes of explaining the art of tantra and guiding us into an individual meditation, the facilitator asked everyone to then pick a partner. I looked around but felt frozen in my seat. Minutes later everyone was matched and beginning the next meditation involving looking into each other’s eyes, gently stroking each other’s arms and whispering kind words into each other’s ears. I sat on my bed pillow looking out at the many couples. I began to cry. Then sob with my head down and not a single tissue to wipe away the tears and snot off my face. No one paid me notice. My prince did not come to my rescue. And that was just fine with me.

I knew in that moment that this cry was not a cry of lonliness or bitterness or self pity. With Tosha’s soulful words still resonating in my heart, I knew this was a cry of letting go, of surrender, of trusting in the Divine and handing over the reigns in that moment to that power source that had been my guide in so many other areas of my life.

After my tears subsided, I stayed at the event for another 15 minutes. When the participants began giving each other tantra massages, I stood up, grabbed my pillow and left. Despite several minutes of searching, I was unable to find one of my shoes. I drove home barefooted. When the facilitator contacted me a few days later and told me that they found my shoe, I told her to keep it. This Cinderella had let go of her effort-filled fantasy of finding Prince Charming and would not be returning for her shoe.

Thank you, Tosha. Tank you you, thank you.

I am in the testing phase of this book currently. I am putting in practice all the ideas shared. But i would definitely encourage you to read it.
