Audio Reviews: Light Magic For Dark Times & Shadow Work: Face Hidden Fears, Heal Trauma, Awaken Your Dream Life

 It's very rare for me to pick up non-fiction books. But I was drawn to these two titles and I'm so glad I was able to review these books.

First up:

When the world around you turns dark, tap into the light. If you’re having a hard time finding that light, facing trauma and division, or want to send healing vibes to a friend, the inspired, easy-to-do spells of Light Magic for Dark Times can assist.

Luna Luna magazine’s Lisa Marie Basile shares inspired spells, rituals, and practices, including:

A new moon ritual for attracting a lover
A spell to banish recurring nightmares
A graveyard meditation for engaging with death
A mermaid ritual for going with the flow
A zodiac practice for tapping into celestial mojo
A rose-quartz elixir for finding self-love
A spell to recharge after a protest or social justice work

These 100 spells are ideal for those inexperienced with self-care rituals, as well as experienced witches. They can be cast during a crisis or to help prevent one, to protect loved ones, to welcome new beginnings, to heal from grief, or to find strength.

Whether you’re working with the earth, performing a cleanse with water or smoke, healing with tinctures or crystals, meditating through grief, brewing, enchanting, or communing with your coven, Light Magic for Dark Times will help you tap into your inner witch in times of need. 

My Review:

My rating: 5 of 5 stars  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really enjoyed this book.
The narration was clear and easy to follow, so my attention never wavered.
There were great rituals that I think would be easy to incorporate into my life. And I can't wait to get started on these.
I'm definitely adding a physical copy of this book to my witchy library.
And if you're looking for something new and different to add to daily magical practice, you should give this book a try.

Shadow work is the act of facing the darkest part of our psyche to unlock our full potential and discover true self-love.

This powerful technique has helped countless patients achieve what traditional therapy could not. Danielle Massi is a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in this practice, and she is the perfect guide for diving deep into the unconscious.
Diagnosed with cervical cancer before her thirtieth birthday, Massi resolved to study the effects of the mind on the body. With the knowledge that chronic stress is a leading cause of disease, she focused on developing techniques to help her patients access their unconscious—the part of our mind that is the body’s mechanism for repressing information that is possibly too intense for the psyche. When unchecked, this shadow side of our consciousness builds up over time and can create a domino effect of consequences in our physical body. When we work with the shadow, we free ourselves from a recurring trauma response and can rewire the brain for mind and body health, ease, and abundance.
Massi’s in-depth instruction provides a framework for breaking down the root causes of trauma and learning how to prevent self-sabotage. With an engaging, inviting, and authoritative voice, she provides an essential guide to recreating life on your terms.

Shadow Work: Face Hidden Fears, Heal Trauma, Awaken Your Dream Life by Danielle Massi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

If you're looking for a book to help navigate through your own personal shadow work then you should definitely pick up this book.

I received an audiobook ARC from the publisher and really loved listening to this. I just focused on what the narrator said. This helped me absorb the material. The exercises were explained and I definitely want to go back and work on these.

I'll be picking up a physical copy of this book to work through later.

Thank you so much to the author and Hachette Audio for this audio ARC to review.
