Soul Shifts: Transformative Wisdom for Creating a Life of Authentic Awakening, Emotional Freedom and Practical Spirituality

Soul Shifts is articulate and eloquent, and also real and easy to read. It’s full of practical examples and explanations taken from the author’s own life and the lives of her students. (In what other spiritual book would you find a deeper meaning of mistaken paint finishes? You have to read it to see what I mean!) The wisdom is age-old but the way that Dr. De Angelis is able to interpret and illuminate these ancient principles is truly refreshing. Hers is a much-needed voice and light in a very crowded world of personal development and spiritual teaching. As I was reading this book, I found myself smiling involuntarily in places where I thought, “OK, so there is hope, I’m not alone in feeling this way.” I wept with respect and awe and deep gratitude in other places. I exhaled breaths that have been so long held trying to just act differently, be more positive, smile more, tell myself I shouldn’t feel something. Soul Shifts is the owner’s manual we all wish we were born with. It’s that applicable to any and every situation life could possibly throw at us. It answers so many questions I would constantly ask myself: Why do I get so angry? Why do I feel like something is “off” with some people? Why don’t people “get” me? (There is a whole discussion on vibrational credibility that blew me away!) Many of the Soul Shifts that are made in this book are stunningly simple – and as with many simple things, they may not always be easy to master. But Dr. De Angelis does a brilliant job of creating a map to each Soul Shift to create lasting, permanent transformation in how we approach ourselves, our issues, our relationships and our lives. If every person on this planet were to fully implement and integrate even just 3 or 4 of the dozens of Soul Shifts thoroughly presented in this book, oh what a wonderful world it would be! Reading Soul Shifts is more than a gift to yourself, it’s a gift to your family, your community, your work peers, and the world. It is not only worth reading, it is worth giving to everyone you know. Anyone who has felt alone, struggling, searching, knowing there is something they are meant to do. Soul Shifts is a soothing balm to the wounds of our past and our present. You owe it to yourself to get this book!

I have been a seeker for most of my life and have shelves and shelves of self-help books. This book, Soul Shifts, is more than a self-help book. It is a vibrational download of transformational wisdom offered by Dr. Barbara De Angelis, who in my opinion is the best spiritual teacher of modern time. Her wisdom is practical and down to earth. Soul Shifts is written for real people living in the real world, and is written in such a way that it helps us shift our perceptions of what we have viewed as our reality. I have read all of Barbara De Angelis's best selling books, and all are phenomenal. This one has touched the deepest part of my soul. It has helped me find parts of myself that I had forgotten were there...my confidence, my courage, my wisdom, my knowingness, my love, my compassion... It has awakened parts of myself that I had forgotten had gone to sleep. This is a book that grabs your attention from the first page and is written in such a style that makes it easy to read...and yet, each sentence, each paragraph holds so much wisdom on so many levels that it can be read over and over again, and you will glean something new each time. Soul Shifts is a book that has given me hope. I feel there is so much more life ahead of me. For the first time in a long time I feel alive. Before Soul Shifts I felt it was too late for me...that I had wasted too much time. After all, it is difficult to change after one has lived six decades. Soul Shifts is a must read for anyone who feels their light has dimmed or gone out, who feels that life has passed them by and it is too late to feel joy and happiness again. I will offer you that this is not true. Read this magnificent book and find out why. Thank you Barbara De Angelis for your life changing book. Thank you for Soul Shifts.

Dr. Barbara De Angelis has written the best book for true transformational change in the last 50 years. I've read a lot of books in this genre and no one out there offers true pragmatic tools for realistic and lasting lifestyle changes like she does in Soul Shifts. Her writing is clear, soaked in wisdom, and well organized. She gives personal examples from her own journey as a serious spiritual seeker and uses amazing metaphors in her teaching style to enhance learning and processing of truth. There are summaries of the soul shifts in the back of the book as well as copies for you to use in your own journey towards transformation. The word transformation sounds like a big deal word however there is nothing self righteous in any of Barbara's wisdom. This is rubber hit the road kind of help that will give you the ability to assimilate her truths without having a doctorate! The book is written like she is sharing with her best friend, you the reader while you chat over a latte together. I took her words in with ease and hope on every page. I read the book while listening to her on the audio and it was incredible to do it that way! Her main goal in this book is to offer you solid ways to live your life in every moment and in every choice from your own highest point of consciousness. She provides the tools for you to get in touch with how you are really seeing, feeling and knowing in your life instead of a flat zombie existence ruled by the expectations of the universe. If you want real, you want Soul Shifts. She lays all the cards on the table without any tricks or gimmicks. It's a path about remembering who you really are and to live from that wholeness every day. She teaches you what questions to ask yourself when you find yourself locked out on the balcony of your own heart and the keys to actually make better choices which expand rather than contract you. What on earth are you waiting for? It's cold outside.... Come in to this amazing place of warmth, wisdom and truth to live the way you are capable of living. I am so grateful I did and I can't wait for you to welcome yourself to the amazing opportunities that are waiting in this treasure chest called Soul Shifts.

Over the years, I have amassed countless books on Spirituality. Although a portion have been beneficial to read and worth keeping, rarely do I come across one that I consider outstanding in every sense of the word; worth putting in the special place I reserve for the most profound, the most cherished of works--- which is in the smallish bookcase on the opposite side of my bed. Awaiting me there in the brightest and darkest times. Times when the clock ticks and sleep is not my friend and I long for the comfort that I have indeed found here within this very book. Barbara has created and channeled a masterpiece. No exaggeration. For those of us that are on the quest of our lives, through both the beautiful passages, as well as the dark forays, this book is the blessed GPS for maneuvering beyond and into the parts unknown in order to discover ourselves, our gifts, and to recognize what it is that we most value and yearn for. The things that we inspire towards but are often too unaware, unwilling, or afraid to actually look at and to face. And most importantly the ways in which we can make those things actually happen. Within these pages one learns the means in which to truly reach out and beyond and begin to make it so. Sound life-changing? It is. One of the wonderful advantages of sitting down and turning the pages here to discover what lies within, is the way that Barbara has laid everything out on the course of each and every page. The presentation is genuine in tone, smooth in translation, and from start to finish the "how to get from *here* to *there* is not only manageable, but sensible, inspiring, and dare I say it--- freaking exciting! So often I find that similarly themed book's how-to's or "recipes"--- please forgive me for using some metaphors here--are often too difficult to either remain committed to, or find the time and solitude to actually do. Too many times I have bought the so called cookbook enthused by the pictures of all the dishes contained within.. and I'm inspired, that is until I get to the actual recipes and then, well, the true breakthrough never really happens. The undertaking of recommended step by step process is a turn off because just too darned involved, or over the top. Not so here. Don't rush through the pages. Savor each and every moment, passage, and the epiphanies that come from the unfolding. Seriously. Many times a page and a half is so satisfying that to read more seems to be almost on the side of wasteful! The book will energetically causes a reaction, a ripple effect in both one's consciousness, and one's path as well. Whether you believe that is possible or not doesn't matter...but do yourself the favor...read this book, or give this book to someone you know who is stuck and searching, who is on a quest to find and to reach beyond the place they are, the place they have been, and the place they are striving and hope to eventually be. Revel in the exquisiteness of the ride and in the journey from start to finish. Few books provide the level of enjoyment or inspiration. Happy Trails! And thank you, dearest Barbara. Thank you for adding such a bright beacon of a book, which is now shining and residing there upon my favorite bookcase. :)

I'm reading it slowly to absorb it. This request for feedback is premature. However, the introduction & first three chapters offer insights that invite the reader to shift / move / open at a soul level. It is worded in a framework that is relatable for seekers ready to see holographic ally, so to speak. Therefore, it offers valuable tools for individuals to interpret their own experiences in a renewed manner.

Dr. Barbara De Angelis, a master teacher, and already a best -selling author put so much of her self and her work into this book Soul Shifts. When I held the book in my hands for the first time it felt alive! When I delved into the pages, I realized that indeed the pages are alive with love, compassion and more love. Soul Shifts is alive with the stories of her students, her work and her own journey that she offers to her readers to transform and shift their souls. It has transformed my life, helping me to understand exactly what I have been locked into that has not been serving me. How to change those old patterns and understand where they came from has been the work of this book. I am changed. This book and the teachings of Dr, De Angelis has impacted every aspect of my life. My relationship with family, my relationship with God, my work, my clients and with myself. Soul Shifts opened up the world of transformation and brought it to my front door. I have risen so much from emotionally, and daily I feel myself going even higher. The tools in this book can help you walk through any situation. It helps me do exactly that. I see my life from a much higher and more powerful perspective. Soul shifts is like a workbook for living, a manual for life. I keep it with me everywhere I go. I have it in every format, Hardcover, audio, Kindle and now in paperback I bought several copies so my friends can have what I have- I am even giving copies to some of my staff. Dr. Barbara De Angelis has a heart for the world, for the planet and for love and transformation. It is evident in every part of this book. With the tools, examples and heartfelt stories she shares, she uses everything to make sure that if you are seeking transformation, you have everything you need in this book to make it happen for you. Dr. De Angelis poured her heart into this book. I can tell how much she cares by all that is included between the covers. I am so looking forward to her next book. That one will likely take me to the stratosphere- This book should be in every seekers library. I always make sure I have two copies at home because someone always asks me for a copy when they see how my life has changed. Read this book several times as each time you will find things that you didn't quite get the first time. That way your change will be deep and ongoing. Soul shifts can help move your life to exactly where you desire to be.

I've been a seeker my entire life. I tried everything from seminars with famous coaches/ speakers, tons of books and audios. The problem I've always had is that what I learned would never last or "stick" for very long. Techniques I learned either felt very task-y, like crossing out a to-do list (who wants to really do that everyday) or they felt too esoteric, leaving me with little guidance on HOW to start making changes in my life. Dr. Barbara De Angelis' SOUL SHIFTS was just what the doctor ordered! Not only is it an uplifting book to read, it is filled with so much practical, tangible wisdom for how to make real changes in your life. Real changes that will LAST. Not only does the author provide techniques for real transformation, she also explains the mechanics of how they work. There is nothing fluffy about this book. It is chuck full of so much deep wisdom and guidance that anyone can apply to their lives for real change if they chose to do so. Personally, my life has radically changed since applying the techniques and teaching in this book. I am no longer feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I feel like I really own my life. I also have learned how to get back in touch with the wisdom in my heart. Before reading this book, I did not think that feelings or anything with the heart had a practical place in my life. I learned not only does it have a place, but it has helped me strengthen and grow significantly in all areas of my life- my career, my relationship with my family, my finances. It truly is a book about transformation from the inside out. When I allowed myself to focus on me with the help of this outstanding book, everything started to shift. Dr. Barbara De Angelis is one of the most authentic, clear, wise and service driven teachers in the personal development space today. You will not regret buying this book.

I can't say this enough...this book is LIFE CHANGING. Seriously...LIFE CHANGING. There are a million books out there that are wonderful resources to assist in altering ones path and ones life, but they all seem to lack the final part. The part that is really more important than anything else..the growing part. The waiting game, the nurturing time, the time of "Divine Discomfort" as Dr. De Angelis calls it. We all know that time. You do all of the work to ready the changes, you do all of the processes to encourage soul growth and then BOOM...NOTHING. Nothing at all. You are at the point where you know something is going to happen, you know something is shifting and changing, but you don't really know when, what or even how. This is where, for me, this book changes lives. It talks about this special and usually the most difficult time in the progression of Soul Shifts. The time that hurts, that makes us unrecognizable to not only ourselves, but to others as well. The time where jobs change, finances go wayside, marriages hit snags, whatever it is isn't always so wonderful, yet must happen for huge growth to occur in our lives, in our souls. When I think of my soul shifting or my live really changing dramatically in ways I may or may not like, I imagine a seed and its growth. It has quite the time breaking from its shell and climbing its way out of the dirt looking for sun before becoming whatever is was designed to become. Dr. De Angelis walks us through that final process. The push before the bloom. The moment before the birth of our souls. If you are feeling like you are shifting, but don't really know what this means, you aren't crazy. When you know something deep inside of you is stirring and your no longer able to ignore that desperate feeling deep within that is forcing your life to be twisted in all directions and in and out. Don't worry. Your SOUL is shifting and you need to catch up with it. This is the book that teaches the sprint. I love this book!

This book has changed me in a profound way. I literally felt something in me shift as I was part way through the book. Something dropped away and my heart opened and I felt free. This may sound a bit out there, but I have lived on and off with depression for many many years and this book has helped me so much to release it. . I carried a huge amount of grief around with me and really thought I would always feel like that. Reading this book and Choice for Love, her latest book, have profoundly and deeply changed me and connected me to love in a way I could only think of before. I now feel such deep love and my heart is open again and able to receive. I feel joy again. Barbara is just an amazing Teacher, coming from a place of such deep love and she has so much experience and wisdom to share and she does it in such a grounded, practical way. There is no magical thinking or wishy washiness from her. I am so grateful to have found this book and to have found her.

Great read with thoughtful pauses.

As I pre-order the book Soul Shifts few weeks ago, Dr. Barbara De Angelis offered the first chapter as a gift. I read it 3 times and I couldn't stop to come back and read part of it again and again. There is so much wisdom contain in these pages. I just can't wait to read the whole book that I am receiving today. I read and studied many of the books of Barbara and listened at many of her audio books. The teachings and wisdom of Barbara De Angelis changed my life from being stuck in despair to a life of joy and fulfillment. Barbara begins her book Soul Shifts by welcoming all of us, from her highest to our highest. She is offering each of us a garnement of flowers to honor the great teacher we are all. Wow! How personal it is! I feel I enter in a temple greeted by the highest being of love. I always feel Barbara right here sharing with me so intimatly through all the pages. This is a great gift she is having to create instant intimate bond of the heart with all her students. In Soul Shifts, she shares about "divine discomfort" (paraphrasing Barbara De Angelis): "You wake up, you get up and then, you realise you have so many things to accomplish, you feel the pressure and you get impatient. You have truckload of bundles of love and wisdom to deliver. And you find yourself being angry at how people are receiving your gifts..." This has been my story!! Dr. Barbara De Angelis understands my journey, the journey of humanity. She is the most loving, humble, uplifted, beautiful, strong, fierce woman. She walks the talk. Her wisdom is clear and focus. She maps out in an easy and concrete way how we get lost and how to get back home in the highest vibrations of love and truth. She offers tons of tools that you can't find anywhere else. BUY SOUL SHIFTS! It will change your life. I will offer another review when I finish reading Soul Shifts. Thank you!

This is a fabulous book and promises shift in your spiritual learning levels. A Must read. A true , promised shift in all that you though you knew and all that you didn't yet .
