by R. Bremner

<div align=justify>Welcome to Your Crisis: How to Use the Power of Crisis to Create the 
 
Life You Want is a guide to healing and moving on from the traumas and 
 
crises in your life. Composed of different healing exercises to allow 
 
you to work through these tragedies, it is coupled with personal stories 
 
for readers to identify with. 
 
Laura Day is an Intuitive Healer and, as such, is of the opinion that we 
 
all possess a level of intuition in our subconscious. She identifies 
 
tools for us to use to harness this intuition and set us on the path 
 
that we choose for ourselves. This perhaps is the strongest message of 
 
the book: that the power of choice lies within us. She affirms that we 
 
all hold the key to our future; we only need to visualize it and then 
 
move consciously towards that goal. 
 
Laura shares her personal stories with crisis and affirms her belief in 
 
welcoming crisis in our life. She strongly affirms that she would not 
 
exchange any of her personal life tragedies (for example, the death of 
 
her mother and a bitter divorce) as they have made her what she is 
 
today. She truly believes that it is during crisis that we uncover our 
 
true self. At its foundation, this is the principle of turning our 
 
weaknesses into our strengths. 
 
Laura identifies common traps that stagnate and halt our progress from 
 
moving forward. She says that “when you are focused on your crisis, all 
 
of your energy is going toward what you want to move away from.” 
 
(emphasis added) Energy is wasted on blaming others and focusing on the 
 
past when we should be looking to the future. The goal of the book is to 
 
allow the reader to become a ‘resilient' individual, able to endure and 
 
even embrace challenges in life and to continue to move forward, 
 
becoming a stronger individual in the process. 
 
Perhaps the term crisis is a misnomer. We have all experienced trials, 
 
tests, challenges and tragedies. These come in the form of tests of our 
 
faith, our beliefs, and even our confidence. As a reader, I sometimes 
 
felt that the term crisis did not encompass these tests and challenges. 
 
While some of the self-help exercises seemed a little mystical in 
 
nature, the book itself contains valuable advice and insights into 
 
regaining control of the situations in your life. 
 
We have all been in crisis at one time or other. In fact, this book is 
 
also valuable to those who associate with others whose lives are one 
 
continual crisis. 
 
The question is if you will continue to blame others when crisis strikes 
 
or will you welcome your personal crises for the growth they will afford 
 
you. The choice is yours.</div>
