Praise for this book
“Wow, an actual step-by-step procedure of something we all know about, setting your intention and letting go. This has always been a little out there for me until I read this book and it clicked in my mind. I'm a long-time follower of visualization techniques by Shakti Gawain and the power of intention by people like Joe Dispenza, but this technique takes you to a new level of understanding the mechanics of these procedures.”
