Review
""Invisible Acts of Power" is a wonderful account of the chakras (or energy centers) in the human bodymind and their special role in spiritual grace, gifts, and empowerment. A magical and moving handbook of your own deepest and divine powers."
-- Ken Wilber, author of "A Brief History of Everything"
Product Description
For more than two decades, internationally renowned pioneer in energy medicine Caroline Myss has been studying how people use their personal power. Through her special brand of spiritual insight and intuition, her popular workshops, and her bestselling books, Myss has helped hundreds of thousands of people meet the lifelong challenge of managing their spiritual energy and improving their lives.
Now, in this inspiring new book, Myss expands her message about power in an entirely new spiritual direction. With characteristic originality, she explains how we become channels for divine grace and a conduit for miracles through kind, compassionate, generous actions, or, as she calls them, invisible acts of power. When we act compassionately, without a private agenda or expectation of credit or reward, God works invisibly, anonymously through us. And as we move from visible acts, such as giving a friend a helping hand, to invisible acts, such as prayer and healing, we undergo a profound journey of personal empowerment.
The myriad simple but profound ways that people connect to create small miracles, gain a greater sense of spirituality, and transform their own -- and others' -- lives in an instant will inspire you to your own invisible acts of power...and attract them to you.

Format:Audio CD
I'm told Myss is an acquired taste but, from the start, I was magnetised by her compelling mix of passion and candour. It's interesting that her blunt rejection of so much of the New Age nonsense is dubbed sarcasm by some: for me she comes across more as ironic, and her forthrightness is both refreshing and inspiring.
She started out as a medical intuitive with a fascinating ability to identify how different stages of history are reflected by specific major diseases and also to describe the world's spiritual shifts and stages over the decades since WWII. As always, her spoken material is more gripping than her written work - the exception being her 2009 book "Defy Gravity", where a new element of heart/compassion merges with her fierce intellect to create a work so full of hope and miracles it had me tingling in places! Myss has been on Oprah several times and is a magnificent guide and mentor with a powerful style. I have probably listened to every tape/CD she has produced.
This set is probably my favourite. Caroline Myss always presents original and often iconoclastic information but here she also introduces touching and wonderful stories of human generosity and charity that I loved hearing about and she clearly delighted in telling about. She shows how to break through hidden fears and breaks down generosity into seven different types, that she links to your chakras. She explains how to recognise sacred contracts in seemingly chance meetings, reveals the deep shifts that occur in your own energetic field when you respond to someone in need, and discusses both visible acts such as caring for a friend and "invisible acts" offered anonymously.

This is the first book by Caroline Myss I have read. It won't be the last. Woven into the fabric of the book are true stories, which are both moving and empowering. The second half the book is broken into 'gifts' such as gifts of the spirit. Buy and read this book and you will be shown these gifts. Higly recommended.

I am a devotee of the work of Carolyn Myss, and have read all of her work. This is by far the most moving as it cites individual cases which have been submitted by the public. These reflect the essence of the book, and indeed the true meaning of her work. Many of the cases reduced me to tears because they are so aptly used. This is a brilliant introduction to Myss. I would thoughly recommend it to everyone.
