Breathtakingly lovely, 6 April 2009
This review is from: The Garden of The Soul: Lessons from Four Flowers That Unearth the Self (Paperback)
The Garden of the Soul is a truly breathtaking piece of prose. A book to treasure forever and read over and over again.
By page 5 of the introduction, I could feel my heart racing and my whole body tingling in anticipation - hurry, hurry, the sense of urgency was almost overwhelming. I was so caught up, it felt as `tho my soul had recognised that our own personal journey was about to be stepped up a notch.
And it did!
Lynn takes you gently along a perfectly-written journey along the "path of least resistance to the Self", her inimitable style showing the way through the four spiritual principles which leads you into the wholeness of the Self, using the four flowers to denote those spiritual aspects (the Rose signifies Give; the Iris signifies Receive, the Daffodil signifies Become, and the Lily signifies Be).
Stepping into another world as you enter the fairytale entitled The Very Good King and suspend reality; come out the other side thinking deeply about the life stories that are held within that magickal tale. Hold onto those thoughts, those feelings which started to circulate as you danced alongside Lynn through The Very Good King and take your time to smell the flowers garden as you progress through the book and into your very own soul.
I have read numerous spiritual texts and self-help publications in my quest to help myself, and my friends, family and clients, to grow - but it is fair to say that this incredible, moving book has left me in awe. Lynn's writing style is hypnotic and deeply moving, her own soul laid bare to help us move forward and embrace our own garden of flowers deep within us. A profoundly beautiful experience, a real gem.
Are you ready to become the hero of your own life? If so, grab your own copy of The Garden of the Soul- and if my dearest friends are reading this review ... guess what you'll be getting as gifts?!

Straight into my heart!, 18 Jun 2009
This review is from: The Garden of The Soul: Lessons from Four Flowers That Unearth the Self (Paperback)
Your book touched me in a way I can't really explain by words. It went straight into my heart. You gave something, which I received. A hope mixed with creativity, something I am longing for to discover and develop more! You showed me paths of least resistance and how many answers we already have in our life!
You are one of the most PROFESSIONAL persons I know (since I have never met you, yet : ) Even though I don't really "know" you, it feels like I do in your book.
You are a true coach - since you are personal, but not private in a matter.
You deliver belief, hope, love and creativity in a fun, touching, exciting, storytelling way and I LOVE IT!
Thank you for putting words into an unknown, but still so known area in life!
Warmly, Siv Marell (who is now experimenting with finding new expressful ways for creativity)

Splendidily Great, 14 Jun 2009
This review is from: The Garden of The Soul: Lessons from Four Flowers That Unearth the Self (Paperback)
I bought the book purely on impulse and loved the title. It truly surprised me on what I read and how easy it was. Giving a true account in fictional setting format despite being a non-fictional biographical story. Don't let the non-fiction stop you from reading. You won't regret it. There is a mix of fiction involved which helps the reader out. Through Lynn's eye you can learn by example rather than being told this is how you do this.. do these exercises and now moving forward to this. You'll be surprised how you can relate or move forward in your life. Lynn covers very well her life story enough so that people who read it enjoy it and also learn from it. A book the truly does not put you to sleep just because it's non-fiction.
