This is the book that you'll hand to your children with pride, while wishing someone had done the same for you in your quest to make sense of life's mysteries!"

"Colette Baron-Reid has spent her adult life consulting; reflecting; and guiding people to view the interrelationship between the psycho-spiritual landscape of their minds and the way they think, feel, and respond to life. She has now provided a means for you to discover the opposing aspects of your mind and a mechanism to create meaningful dialogue--with powerful and profound healing and integration as the result.
"Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, is quoted as saying, 'Dialogue is the most effective way of resolving conflict.' Through this book, you're now able to begin the inner journey, find yourself in your most important interior landscapes, and learn to dialogue with both the shadow and wisdom within you. Discover the magic, mystery, and miracles of your life. Remember, the beauty and power of your soul is revealed the moment you decide to reclaim your power."
-- Dr. Darren R. Weissman, the developer of The LifeLine Technique(TM); best-selling author of The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude
