Ceremonies for Real Life

Summary: A must Buy
Review: You don't have to be a "spiritual being" to learn from this book. Ms Fabius has outdone herself. She's managed to tutor her readers in detailed and simple terms. Even my teenagers follow her fluidly. She explains how to create nurturing, empowering, purifying environemts with things that surround us. She draws upon her vast knowledge so that we can easily create a life free of chaos and worry. Just by using household items for most of her ceremonies: A flower, a candle, honey, a bowl of spring water, a key, some mint, ect. Her Heart and Home ceremony triggered a feeling of peace and vitality around my home. It was unexplainable. I bought 4 books for friends and will get more.

Summary: Easy to use and fun!
Review: "Ceremonies for Real Life" presents a positive and uplifting way to look at the milestones in our lives. It does a miraculous job of marrying practicality with poetry, without being too "New Age" or preachy. Fabius's smart, friendly and casual style makes it very user-friendly and an enjoyable read, even if you don't actually perform the ritual at hand. Taking a graceful approach to celebrations, the book could be useful for everyone from the novice who might be insecure about performing a ceremony to the person who could easily improvise and go with the flow. "Ceremonies" is truly an inspirational look at the sacred in our day-to-day lives and a great gift to share with friends and family.

Summary: Taking responsibility
Review: Carine has captured the spirit of "taking responsibility" for one's life moments. Instead of simply surviving coming of age, divorce, loss of a loved one or becoming a woman. Carine shows the wonder and power the moment's posses. She maintains a sage's wisdom as she unfolds one unique ceremony after another to celebrate what most of take for granted. Great read!!! You will never look at your life the same again.

Review: Ceremonies for Real Life is one of those books that you end up carrying with you wherever you move to in life.

It helps you turn every day life events into spiritual occasions that are infused with personal meaning because you lead the ceremonies yourself. Through this book you realize that life is about an alignment with the universe and taking an active part in it. And somehow it not only makes things better, but it also makes you feel you play a role in your own destiny. I recommend it whole-heartedly.

Summary: Ceremonies that rock
Review: This is a cool little book that can really bring some tranquility into your life. If you're a guy, don't be put off by that flickering and, no doubt scented candle on the cover. It's not like you're going to be performing these ceremonies in the garage as you're tearing down your Mustang engine. Do them at home with someone you love... your soul will thank you. Or maybe you do yoga? OK, so if you can handle downward facing dog, you'll love Ceremonies for Real Life.

Of course it doesn't say you CAN'T do them in the garage.
