You Own The Power : Stories and Exercises to Inspire and Unleash the Force Within

Rating:
Summary: Kept me reading!
Review: After reading the reviews here on Amazon, I almost didn't purchase this book. However, I couldn't stop thinking about it and decided I would buy it anyway. I sure am glad I did! The book was inspiring, interesting, intriguing and well-thought out. I have not read any other books by Rosemary Altea, but after seeing her interview on "Larry King Live" I was interested in the topic. I felt that her personal stories added a lot to the book and kept it moving forward. I appreciate her honesty in saying that taking control of your openness to the spiritual world (i.e., through her excercises) can take a long time to develop. I think a lot of people hope to read a book like this and instantly be able to communicate with the spirit world - but she sets your expectations correctly. Anyone looking for guidance and a clearer understanding of what it is like to communicate with the spirit world, should read this book.

Summary: You Own the Power
Review: After seeing the author on Larry King, I wanted to read more about the topic of spiritual healing and connecting with loved ones who have passed on. The book sounded very interesting after listening to her presentation. I agree with a previous customer who reviewed this book. There were so many errors within the book, that it took away any credibility this author states she has. If she is such a high profile, spiritual healer and medium, better advice and editing before publishing should have been done. I was extremely disappointed when reading this book.

Summary: Forgot to add this into my other review!
Review: From reading the reviews on Rosemary Altea, I had considered buying her other books. I stopped myself from becoming impulsive, and decided to start with "You Own the Power." After reading this book, I can surely state that I will NOT buy another one of hers. I am glad I saved my money.

Summary: Another Clairvoyant Con Artist . . .
Review: How sad that one is so hungry for money and fame that they would prey on the vulnerable, i.e., suffering, grief-stricken individuals who have tragically lost children, husbands, parents, etc. How do they get away with it? I saw this con artist on Larry King Live. During the show, a young man phoned in and said he lost his grandfather, whom he was very close to, in a hunting accident. Clairvoyant Altea, in her infinite wisdom and God-like powers, said "I see a wooded area, lots of trees. There are dogs as well." We're talking about a hunting accident here and she sees woods, trees, and dogs. Imagine that! Further, the caller happened to be from Idaho. And lo and behold! Ms. Altea saw a mountain range. Pathetic. My heart goes out to her victims (the gullible who want desparately to hear a message from their deceased loved ones). How does she sleep at night!

Summary: Feeling more "at Home"
Review: I discovered this book on my first visit to the United States. It opened my eyes and my soul. I would never have thought that this book would be able to touch my heart and spirit with such a great warmth - so deep and powerful. The concept of "beeing more at home" was a revelation to me and really not so easy to grasp. we are all so close to our own selves that we often lose sight of the most important thing - our lives. This book brought to mind another wonderful book which I read which deals with similar ideas but with a somewhat different approach. The book is called "Working on Yourself Doesn't work" by Ariel and Shya Kane. Being here in the moment and continuously being aware of YOUR OWN life is for me very much the same as "being at home". Each approach reinforced the other and helped me find a new liveliness. I can heartily recommend both books - an wish all a more fullfilling and joyous life. Anke Wahnschaft - Berlin, Germany.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I listened to the tapes and really enjoyed them. They have assisted me to be able to take charge of my life more and the ability to really relax and think calmly. I highly recommend the book or the tapes.

Summary: what a waste of hard earned money
Review: I purchased this book and one by Wayne Dyer at the same time. Mr Dyers book was worth every penny. In comparison, this one seemed very amateur. I kept reading hoping for something phenomenal to catch my attention but nothing ever did. It was boring from beginning to end and I got absolutely nothing out of it. If you really want to be amazed read some books by Wayne Dyer.

Summary: you own the power
Review: I usually love reading Rosemary Altea's books... But can someone tell me who wrote this! I found the book full of errors and misinformation. The book is not a "good read" by any stretch of the imagination. Anyone without any spiritual gift at all could have wriiten this boring tripe! Save your money and "wait for the movie to come out"!
