Customer Reviews

Peacefulness, Calmness and helpfulness

I have rarely written reviews but I am moved to do so with this book. It does not matter where I opened this book, I found the information not just helpful but productive and interesting. Learning to breath, relax, energize and uplift myself through this book was amazing. It is almost like having access to some of the great hidden spiritual technoligies which have elevated monks, priests, ministers and holymen (people) to live in their spirit. And all it takes is five minutes and the first effort of opening this book to any page and a gems and jewels are ready for your application. I highly recommend reading this book and using its techniques. You will be better and more stress-free

Great Book!

An insightful, soothing read, The Gurus' Guide to Serenity is an oasis of inspiration for those of us challenged by busy lifestyles. A perfect "New Year's" gift, (to yourself and friends), the book offers creative, comforting tips from Hollywood insiders. From `at home spa' secrets like tea time baths and meditation breaks with aromatherapy candles to splurging on a chocolate-fondue facial mask, you'll be inspired to add many of the `me-time' luxuries into your daily routine. Great recipes and resources are also included: healthful cooking, herbal body treatments, yoga/fitness and my favorite-how to create your own sacred space and home altar for reflection and rejuvenation.

Fabulous Bath Ideas

I received The Guru's Guide to Serenity as a stocking stuffer and have already tried three of the baths. I love to relax in a hot tub and getting the tip of adding Lavendar and Ylang-ylang made me enjoy the experience even more. I have tried two of the other bath ideas as well and truly feel that the ideas for everything from a wake-up tub to listening to music and enoying hot tea while soaking are just a few of the great and easy me time ideas. Highly recommended for people who want to destress just a portion or a lot of their busy daily lives.

A Perfect Balm for Combatting Holiday Stress

An impulse buy while shopping for others, this book has turned out to be one of the greatest gifts of the season! After reading it myself I found it to be a virtual "must have" and promptly purchased copies for each of my friends, all of whom struggle with "doing it all." The suggestions and step by step "how to's" not only remind us of the importance of carving out "me-time" but also provide an easy plan for doing it. I love this book and plan on keeping it close at hand as a lovely reminder of the need to relax and turn inward.

Great Holiday Gift!

It is the perfect gift to give someone you know who needs a holiday lift. I included it in relaxation baskets that I made for all my friends for Christmas. To spice up the basket add some of the ingredients for the facials like honey and lavender, a few gardening tools for your green thumbed friends or an apron for a chef-in-training. The book includes great tips for all levels of relaxation and rejuvenation. I highly recommend it.
