Caution: Soul Mate Ahead is a book about the real experiences of soul mate relationships. It challenges the co-dependent myths associated with the idea of soul mates and identifies different kinds of soul mate relationships, not the glamour that TV would show, but the day-to-day emotions, struggles, joys and courage that it takes to grow in this type of relationship. The stories remind the reader, again and again, that soul mate relationships create whatever challenges people need in this life so that they may learn their soul lessons.
This is a great book and the first that I have read that articulated my belief in what the soulmate thing is all about. The examples used are, at times, difficult (no one wants to give the thumbs up to a soulmate union where one of the parties is cheating on the significant other). But if you can push past that, what the author is saying is very true.
Thought Provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I have long been fascinated by the concept of soulmates and have read many publications on the topic. This book is one of the most straighforward take on the subject. It turns the common perception of the concept (that there is one and only one)on its ear as well as suggesting that the way society sees marriage and relationships may actually be hindering our soul development. I must admit that while some of the descriptions and suggestions are hard for me to accept, instinctively, there's a part of me that recognizes the truth of so much Janet Cunnigham says.In fact, my only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is because of its length - I wish it were longer and even more in-depth!Another fascinating book that covers soulmates is Michael Newton's "Destiny of Souls" (the sequel to his "Journey of Souls", another fabulous book). I suggest reading them all.
Soul Mates Bring Profound Growth and Transformation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The title of this wonderful book brings you the "caution" to know how much of a growing experience soul mate relationships bring. One quote from the book sums up this fact: "Our deepest emotional responses are triggered by soul mates - no one else pushes us in the same way. Whatever the issue, the key is to work on ourselves, and to integrate ALL layers of our being." Through the poignant stories shared, the authors did one fantastic job in relating the TRUTH about soul mate relationships. They are NOT garden-of-Eden relationships without struggle. They ARE completely transformative, and it may take everything you've got to un-do old karmic patterns in order to embrace the growth your soul came into this life to learn, with the full agreement of your soul mate. Each of you is a catalyst for profound growth and transformation for the other. I know that the information provided in this book is truth. If you are "looking for your soul mate" then you had better be ready for uprooting the old negative patterns that have caused pain in your life, so you can shine again. The growth process is a deep one. However, once the growth is made, THEN you can have that Bliss that you each deserve. Treasure your soul mate relationship, and embrace the challenges before you. They are there for your highest growth. This wonderful book will explain it all, and show you how to embrace what you fear most, so you can experience the profound rewards of this most special relationship. Highly Recommended!
