Awakening Consciousness: A Girl's Guide!

Reviewed by Kam Aures for RebeccasReads (1/09)

“Awakening Consciousness: A Girl’s Guide!” by Robin Marvel is Book #4 in the “Growing With Love” series of books published by Loving Healing Press.  In this unique book, Marvel aims to promote awareness of self and encourage children to become more in touch with their spiritual side.  The information is presented in a straightforward, hands-on manner that would be very easy for a preteen or teenager to understand.  The workbook style format of the book helps to reinforce the points made and aid in the reader’s comprehension and retention of the subject matter at hand.

In the Note at the beginning of the book the author states that “There is a shift taking place in our world and Universal Awareness will prevail.  As parents we have the opportunity to guide our children to a path of true awareness.  Children are the future and by adding metaphysical teachings into their lives we can guide them towards seeing the big picture.”

The short lessons present information relating to a variety of different areas including auras, chakras, meditation, aromatherapy, dreaming, crystals, and angels.  Each of the teachings strongly promotes reader participation, which I think truly drives home the points being made.  For instance, in the section in which chakras are discussed, there is first an introduction in which a general definition is given as to exactly what a chakra is.  Then, Marvel goes on to provide descriptions of all seven existing chakras.  The next page has a matching exercise where the reader is to match the named chakra to its corresponding color.  Following that, there is a space for the participant to draw a body outline and label each chakra.  Finally, the remaining pages in the lesson focus on keeping all of your chakras healthy by exercising each and every one of them.  Movements to do this are explained in detail, along with photographs showing actual children doing them.

“Awakening Consciousness: A Girl’s Guide!” provides easy, interactive, and fun activities that any child will definitely enjoy and effectively learn a lot from.  Marvel’s workbook is a great tool to help our younger generation explore deep within themselves, increase awareness, and encourage spiritual growth.
