The author Sanaya Roman is a medium who channeled this book from her "wise and gentle spirit teacher." The tone is eerily clear with simple, insightful messages from "them" to "us" here on the other side.

Chapters include "Joy is an inner note you sound," "Don't take yourself so seriously," and "Freedom is your birthright." The channeled spirit explains that he is here to "teach the teachers and to heal the healers." He adds that "to have freedom be willing to give freedom."

I found this gift in the bargain-basement section of my favorite library in Marina del Rey, CA. When I first picked it up, I thought it was a bit trite and "out there" with its "keys to personal power & inner transformation." However, I recently needed a pick-me-up and so read page-by-page without skipping ahead. It was like light-bulbs kept going off in my head and I was indeed filled with "joy" and relief that I hadn't given it away.

If you're already spiritually inclined and looking to "take a quantum leap in any area" of your life, then "Living with Joy" will give you a systematic course to follow with "playsheets" designed to get to the bottom of who you really are and are capable of becoming.

Remember, "loving the self means stepping outside of guilt."
