I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I got this book because I have been under the impression that everyone has spirit guides. There are just who choose to connect with them and other don't. This book was a good guide to understanding spirit guides and how they can influence everyday life. I enjoyed doing the exercises that were in the chapters. It is a topic that I knew something about and wanted a better understanding. This made me think of some topics and such that I had not considered or thought about before reading.

I was drawn to this book because my mom told me she found her spirit guide - this happened about 3 years after the death of my father - so I honestly was concerned she had finally succumbed to depression or may have been experiencing a mental break. She talked to me a lot about her guide - and since it brought her comfort I sort of just let her be. My mom is no longer living so I hadn’t thought much about spirit guides, until I came across this book.

I found this book to be very well organized and written in a way that anyone can read and understand no matter where they may be on their journey. The book is full of information on connecting with your spirit guides. Additionally the book is loaded with information on discovering one’s true self and doing the work to release stress, fears, and other toxic things in our lives that hold you back.

This is a great book for those who may be questioning life’s purpose and those who are just beginning their spirit guide journey.

Discovering Your Inner Self

Erin Newman provides background information on spirit guides stating that they can take many forms, including power or totem animals, goddesses or gods, ascended masters, star beings, angelic beings, and light beings. Additionally, the author states that there are also other guides we might choose to work with, including fairies, gnomes, elves, elementals, and representatives from the natural worlds of rocks, crystals, stones, trees, and plants.

However, the author states that in this book, she will be focusing on connecting readers to guides that have human qualities, most commonly associated with the upper planes of light.

This book contains pertinent information on how to connect with one's spirit guides, and the author provides suggestive questions that one may ask of their guides. She discusses steps to perform journeying work to connect with your higher self, to connect a body protector and gatekeeper, journeying work to connect with your gatekeeper, and your body protector.

This book contains a wealth of information about how to discover one's true self, especially, when working to release various fears, worries, and doing journeying working with your various guides, in particular, your abundance guides.

I truly enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to performing a many of the journeying dealing with some of the various aspects of life. I highly recommend this book for anyone, beginners or advanced practitioners, desiring to discover their true inner self.

I absolutely adored this book. Erin's style ('Erin' because I feel like the author and I are best friends now, eeven though she's never heard of me) is so entertaining and accessible, and entirely free of the sugary platitudes that you sometimes find in books on spirit guides and the like.
The books helps you to connect with your spirit guides, and life purposes and questions, by way of 'journeys,' where you post questions and wait for spirit, your intuition, or the universe to guide you on the right direction. Im still working my way through the practical aspects of this book, but Im going to have to buy a physical copy so I can fill the margins with annotations and observations!

Highly recommended.

This book makes the complex and questionable opinions on spirit guides and soul journeys understandable and doable. Many of us are looking for a way to connect with our higher self and Erin Newman has given one that I liked for its simplicity and effectiveness. There are rituals for many things as well as what to expect and look out for while doing this work. My favorite was doing work to not care what others thinK! The language spoken by the author is conversational in tone and the stories flow well as the book progresses. I think this is a safe and well written way to explore the higher self in understandable ways.

I’m absolutely mad for all the journey work and prompts contained in this book. As a practice it’s unmatched in its ability to bring messages from Source and Spirit Guides. It’s also nice to get a new perspective through the lens of Erin Newman’s experience ✨♥️ The Answer Within honors the roots of this work — as ancient and indigenous — while recognizing its accessibility and value as a supportive healing tool for all cultures around the world today.

I particularly appreciate the acknowledgement that Spirit Guides can take a myriad of forms. Newman answers common questions and lays out techniques and expectations including step by step instructions for your beginning journeying work. Octopus body protector? Heck yeah! Mine’s a fox. Drop into this book, empower yourself with love and connectedness while embracing eternal learning.

Ever hear that voice telling you to do, or not do, something? Want to learn how to better communicate and get guidance from your spirit guides? This is the book for you!

By journaling, you can find a way to communicate with your guides and get the guidance that you need to move ahead successfully. What may be your purpose today may not be your purpose tomorrow or next year, or ten years down the road. Learn to keep the dialogue open and take the guidance that will help you along your way today, tomorrow and even ten years from now.

While I communicate with my guides during meditation, I will now try journaling as a way to communicate as well. This book easy easy to follow and will help you get started. Peace and prosperity along your own journey
