2 BIG Thumbs Up!

This book was a gift from a dear friend and what a true treasure it is. I am an occasional actor who lives in Chicago and I can't tell you how valuable this book is for those in and out the entertainment business; because the entertainment in daily living is constantly changing regardless of who you are. This book is not just for actors it is a valauble tool for everyone seeking affirmations for themeselves and their lives.

Meditations for Actors

Not being an actress I wasn't sure if this would apply to me. But I find this to be a great book to keep close at hand. I am no longer forced to stare at the numbers in the elevator. I do not have to flip through magazines at the register. I have read and reread this book! I wish I had put one in every gift I gave this past Holiday. But I am not waiting until Christmas to send one to all of my friends!

A Pleasure To Have Nearby

I am an actor in Los Angeles and I was given MEDITATIONS FOR ACTORS by a good friend. What a great surprise! This book helps me get ready for auditions, calms my anxiety before going out on stage, everything. It slows me down just long enough to concentrate on my real goals and on what's truly important. But I have to stress that this book is for EVERYONE, not only actors. Who hasn't been nervous before a job interview or a date or been frustrated by a overly long wait on the highway. I actually keep this book in my car on the seat next to me. And I can't tell you how many times I have picked it up to keep me going. I can't imagine anyone who won't find something of value in MEDITATIONS FOR ACTORS.

A MUST READ

Wow! What a great book. I even re-read certain chapters and understood or made sense of different points each time. I am not an actress, but I still enjoyed reading it, and a lot of the material can apply to everyday life for non-actors. Well, we're all actors in a way. I think each quote at the beginning of the chapters were picked wisely and prepared us to what was coming in the chapter. Here are certain lines & chapters I particularly liked . . . " . . .Oftentimes, we engage ourselves so completely in one mind set, that it prohibits the flow of other things to magnetize toward us . . . " Soooo true. The narrower our mind is, the less ideas we come up with, the less creative we are, the more frustrated we become . . . it's all a big circle! In the chapter "Grounding", I found that for me, I could replace that word with "Priorities". Once we know what our priorities are, it's easier to move forward and find security & focus. The Chapter "Criticism" seemed to apply to everyone. I've always thought that if someone stays true to himself/herself, who cares about criticism. Take it for what it's worth - grow from it if you can. I also liked the chapter "Action", or what I call "Sh.. or Get Off The Pot!". I like action people. Find a purpose and move forward. Don't sit and complain - do something about it! The chapter on regret is sooo true! I've always thought that regret can kill someone. I believe that each decision you make has to be the best decision you could have made at that precise moment and time. Living with regret is no way to live. "Who I Am is Enough" --- Very powerful phrase . . . . I really enjoyed reading this book. It was fun to read and is a good reference guide.
