Robin Marvel

Robin Marvel has issued the world with what I feel is a very powerful and positive idea. For myself, I was this type of girl and it would have been wonderful to have this resource at my fingertips. Currently, I am a Certified Massage Therapist, Reflexologist and I work often with what is explained in this book. I utilize essential oils in my daily life for myself and my family. I also try hard to lead a non-judgmental life and teach these values to my young son.
I highly feel this should show more become a required book for school although I cannot properly assign an age to this as it would be up how much the child understands. However, the information is easily presented so all ages can begin an alternative lifestyle and embrace their true potential and leave behind the pettiness that comes with peer groups.
My only major concern in this work, especially as this is clearly meant for the younger crowd, is that the oils are mentioned, but there is nothing issued in a form of warning on what oils to purchase. Many ‘health food store and massage warehouse’ oils are tainted with toxic fillers that can become harmful – used straight (neat) or in a blend as anything placed on the skin is absorbed in roughly twenty minutes. Effects of these oils can be felt via the skin or aroma, so buyers beware. Otherwise, I recommend fully as there are many wonderful ideas presented. show less

'Never judge a book by its cover' the old saying goes and this is so true with this book, although I knew it sounded really interesting I did not realise how rich it would be in information. I had only started to read the book and I just knew I was going to love it. Here's a snippet-
"Reacquaint you with you, resulting in strengthening yourself from inside out. Allowing self-doubt to have a presence in your life based on the perspective others have of your worth has left you questioning show more yourself. How silly is that to let others determine that you are enough? Who are they to decide for you that you are enough? That is your decision and your power."

The book is full of positive thinking, basically waking up the true you that is already there just hidden away, you cannot fail to be moved by it. Full to the brim of wisdom, positive quotes, affirmations, many different techniques, easy and quick exercises, rituals along with plenty of room to journal your way through to the new you.

I always love reading about how we can help ourselves spiritually, especially through chakra's, aura's, crystals and the like. Not only does this book give you an overview of each chakra and its characteristics when each one becomes blocked or is too open, this is the first book I have actually come across that shows you how you can exercise your way through to balancing them. Another find I enjoyed was how to clean and boost our energies.

Easy to understand, not condescending in any way, just vital easy tools to help boost that happier and freer inner self we all have. Although I've read this once to review I am going to read it again to really work on the areas that are crying out for help and I think I will be referring to this book time and time again.

Every once in a while I have been lucky to find a book that I really connect with and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this one x Next on the list for the author must be an audio book!! show less

“Awakening Consciousness: A Boy’s Guide!” by Robin Marvel is a fun workbook for boys to help them get in touch with their spiritual awareness. By doing the exercises within, boys will learn how to read auras and how to have a healthy aura, chakras, meditation, meeting his spirit guide and more.

Each section ends with either an area for the child to draw (e.g.: “Now that you have felt your energy field, use the space below to draw a picture or write down how you feel about it.”) and show more or write about (e.g.: “Use the space below to write all the things you love about you.”). The author has interspersed Native American stories throughout to help illustrate what that chapter.

I think that the great thing about this book is that if a child draws and writes in all the sections, it will become a precious keepsake for him and something that he can return to when he is going through a troubling time. It will help remind him that he is so unique and special and that he should always remember that he is valuable and loveable and worthy. show less

This is an interactive introduction into metaphysical phenomena (study of the nature of being) . This workbook is geared for young girls. While the workbook gives only a preliminary look at spiritual and universal awareness, it does open doors to thoughts and experiences that some kids may not be exposed to any other way. This kind of awareness can help in self confidences, self appreciations, self awareness and even gives young girls the chance to be happy and peaceful with themselves. The show more workbook includes fun physical and artistic exercises, some are set up to be done by themselves while others should be done with other girls whether they are friends or family. These exercises will help the girls understand new concepts and gives them different ways of looking at themselves and the world around them.

This book may have talk of chakras, auras, crystals, herbals, and even guardian angels, but really no matter what you believe in, this book is about giving young girls the power and the ability to really believe in themselves. Some of the exercises in this workbook is vague, the description of each activity sometimes lacks direction or doesn’t give a full definition of the concept, but considering the age group that this is geared to, (8 to 10 year olds) the activities are fun enough without perfect knowledge or understanding of the 'whys' and the 'how-comes'. Of all things this book teaches and brings to the attention of girls, the epilogue sums it up the best with a note from the author (Robin Marvel) telling every girl that reads through this book that she is "Amazing". Every girl needs to know that they have the power to make themselves happy, healthy and that they also have the abilities to help others with their peaceful way of life. show less
