Interactive Self-Coaching Book
When I first found out about Jen Blackert’s, Seven Dragons, A Guide to a Limitless Mind, I thought it might be just one more book talking about the Law of Attraction since Blackert has studied those programs. I wondered if this book would add any more substance to what I had already heard. However, what I had been doing wasn’t working – the first quarter of 2008 was all about speed up-slow down, speed up-slow down. I was like a car lurching forward on the road even though the fuel gauge doesn’t read empty and the engine and tires are in working order. Maybe this book would point out something to help me accelerate and steady my momentum. Obviously, I needed to do something.
Yes, this book engages and acknowledges the Law of Attraction, but Blackert adds her own blend of perspectives and so it’s not necessarily a rehashing what you’ve already heard. Instead, her suggestions help unlock what you already know but haven’t quite tuned into yet. Because of the interactive nature of the book – the practical-exercise aspect – you are able to access your own wisdom and put the principles to work for you.
What I appreciate most is the variety of activities so that if one thing doesn’t resonate for you, there will be something else that does. You can also skip around and use whatever you want whenever you’re ready. My favorite exercise, and one which has propelled me forward in amazing ways within the span of a few weeks, is work I did in association with what Blackert calls the resistant dragon. Something happened when I did her T.H.E.M. exercise that was very powerful for me, personally. Bottom line, I had understood zero resistance in theory, but it wasn’t until I did Blackert’s mental unblocking exercise that I really got it and could actually release resistance. Out of this work, I came up with a plan to move things forward – now it’s full throttle ahead and no lurching!
