a new book by Dr. Tracy Latz & Dr. Marion Ross  reviewed by Dr. Arlene Taveroff…  

Have you ever felt stuck, like your feet were in cement and you wanted to move forward, but couldn’t?

Drs. Tracy Latz and Marion Ross are here to help. Between them, they have expertise in psychiatry, EFT, Reiki, Transpersonal psychology and more. In their new book entitled Shift: A Woman’s Guide to Transformation, they examine the 10 most common obstacles in women’s lives: feeling unloved, guilt and shame, abandonment, anger and resentment, self-definition, lack of self-love, powerlessness, heartache, fear of the unknown and stress. For each, they start by creating an awareness of what the issue is about, and then give you the tools to get past them and get unstuck. Stories of real people overcoming each obstacle inspire and show how it really can be done.

The tools and techniques are easy to use and well explained. They include meditation, guided imagery, mindfulness exercises, EFT tapping techniques, chi gong, and more: a library of tools that appeal to the kinesthetic, the visual and the auditory. Something for all learning styles! I loved a lot of the mindfulness exercises: they were so positive! One had me becoming aware of my true qualities. Wow! I have the results of that one up on my bulletin board! The guided imagery meditations were my favorite, though. They transported me to the most beautiful places and helped me feel so absolutely wonderful!

And so that the book is not just about problems and obstacles, the authors end the book with two additional keys to remain centered and create your life positively and powerfully. I loved the chapter on consciously creating: it was so much what the whole book led up to for me! The explanation of creating was eye opening, and as for the exercises – I can’t wait to Release my Shadow Characters and get into the Garden of Creation, then create an Intention Poster!

There is something for everyone here, folks! The Shift can happen to you. Get those feet out of the cement. Get unstuck!
