1: Myss forgot to channel her grace for this one...
Usually I love Caroline Myss, from her Energy Anatomy and Advanced Energy Anatomy audio series, to her book Why People Don't Heal and How They Can, to all of her work with archetypes in Sacred Contracts, etc. But this little piece of work is INSANE! Caroline has always been one to call someone on their crap, or call out the garbage in the world, but she straight berates and belittles her audience in this one. On at least four (probably more - I lost count) occasions she outright yells at her audience, scolding them like "spoiled brats". The rest of the time she goes off on these crazy tangents about nonsensical definitions of what "grace" is. The only part of this CD that's good is the meditation towards the end of the second disc. I am so glad I only paid the Amazon price for this instead of actually seeing this in what I'm sure was a very expensive seminar. I seriously would have asked for my money back. There are times when we all need a "harsh wake-up call" to move ourselves out of safe harbors and into more enlightened ground, but then there is the act of throwing people under a bus because you're on a power trip. This seminar would be a good example of the latter. I'm not saying people shouldn't buy her other works, I'm just saying to stay away from this one. Maybe she was having an "off day" or dealing with personal or health issues in her life at the time. Who knows? But save your money for her better works and continue to benefit from those instead.

2: Awesome CD Set
As usual, Ms. Myss provides no nonsense spiritual education & guidance. I would recommend this 2 CD set to anyone wanting to expand their spiritual life and experience.

4: Gotta be grace-filled...
Carolyn Myss' audio sessions tend to be spirited and insightful, and this is no exception. The invocations are a lovely contrast of calm and warmth to her impassioned discussions. Some describe what I receive as passion and conviction as judgemental and shrill. If you asked her yourself I would wager that she would agree that she has these tendencies - but so what? Carolyn Myss never passes herself off to be anything other that Who She Is, and I love it!
This latest work brings together ideas previously explored under the banner of self-esteem, together with the more soulful aspects of communion with God through prayer, as desribed in Entering the Castle, reflecting the work and words of Teresa of Avila. Steve McNamara's meditative compositions beautifully bookend both the CDs and the invocations. Channeling Grace - herein lies timeless and beautiful wisdom for living fearlessly in the light, in honesty, in grace; "in the breath of God".

5: Beautiful, powerful and moving.
Caroline is certainly say it like it is and don't sugar coat it kind of person. I found myself jumping in spots as Caroline yells at you - but then I know she is extremely passionate about what she is talking about - Grace. This might be off putting to many people but I believe it is because she is passionate about God.
I also found myself confused at times as she seems to put God in a box as "a judgmental someone" out there (the Catholic God I grew up with), and then turns it around that God is NOT "someone" out there but is a loving being out there while simultaneously being a part of us - the God I have come to know. I found that a little disconcerting. I also agree with the other reviewer about the mind. She says the mind plays tricks on you - yes it does. The mind can not heal you. But we are commanded to "love God with all of our hearts, souls and minds". I think there is a good reason mind is mentioned - we need to train our minds to think in line with our heart and soul rather than allow it to wander off on its pseudo intellectual pursuits. We need to practice being present and aware of what is on our minds. There is much more to say about that but for what it's worth that was my 2?? on the subject.
If you are a person like myself who has wondered what on Earth Grace means, this will answer your questions about it. Aside from the confusion about how she refers to God at times, The meditations / invocations are powerful and oh so beautiful. Caroline Myss has an incredible gift as a wordsmith. This will certainly open your eyes to grace abounding in your life.
