Paul John Jenkin owns a successful massage and bodywork studio in Melbourne, Australia where he has had the opportunity to connect with people in a fulfilling way. In his book Heartfelt Manifestation, he shares what he has learned from scientists, spiritual leaders and motivational speakers. For many years Jenkin has studied the laws of the universe and healing modalities. As he worked with people of all ages and all walks of life, he came to some realizations and now shares many of them with readers.
Jenkin talks directly to the reader to “help people become aware of their full potential and their vast capacity to create beauty in this world.” He aims to open the eyes of readers’ to a new way of viewing themselves and their relation to the universe. His book is not written to tell readers the “right” way to live, but instead provides information to help people reach an optimal state so that they can make their dreams come true, and have more positive experiences.
The main themes of the book examine: The Law of Attraction, awareness, thoughts on self-talk, fear, negativity, passion, purpose, forgiveness, gratitude, shifting paradigms, self-realization, beliefs, conditioning, universal consciousness, thoughts about God, religion, meditation, self- hypnosis and implementing daily rituals to enhance one’s life.
Jenkin explains the Law of Attraction and how one can align himself with that law. There is insight into why things can go wrong in a person’s life, and what one must do in order for things to go right. He shares some of the concepts and beliefs that keep people from reaching their full potential, and explains what people need to keep in check in order to change their lives.
The major message is that beliefs create our perceptions of the world. Limiting beliefs and holding grudges keep people from being aware and fully experiencing life. Freedom from thoughts that are negative and repetitious will allow people to bring the things that a person most desires in life.
Jenkin‘s approach to the subject is lighthearted. Readers are given guidance on how they can use their personal power more effectively. Many of the concepts Jenkin talks about in the book are presented in a way that an average reader can understand. Jenkin reveals where a person’s true manifesting power comes from, and what hinders it. He also goes into the things that need to be addressed before you can create positive changes in your life.
I give Heartfelt Manifestation 3 out of 4 stars. I wanted to give this book 2.5 stars, because many of the ideas that are expressed in this book have been expressed in other books. The author states that he has studied the laws of the universe and healing modalities, but it was not clear if he read books about the subject or studied under teachers who taught him about spirituality and the psychology of the mind.The author did not clearly state how he came to certain realizations or why he adopted certain beliefs that he has learned over the years.
A few individuals and concepts were mentioned, but the author does not give readers a lot of background information about the concepts and research he has done. There is no information about the sources of many of the concepts and scientific research that he talks about. Some readers may want to investigate some of the topics. The sources of the information in the book would help readers avoid unreliable information about the ideas, theories and concepts that were mentioned.
The strength of this book is its exercises. Jenkin gives specific advice about the steps one should take in order to allow people to effectively implement the Law of Attraction. He involves readers by getting them to think about certain questions and makes suggestions about the actions that a person needs to take in order to have positive experiences.
He also gives his opinion about why we are here on earth; provides interesting information about the Bible, early Christian texts, and the concept of Hell. He also makes a nice point about the concept of “Survival of The Fittest.” Jenkin shows that he walks the walk by insight into how he has implemented what he teaches in his everyday life.
If you are looking for a book about mindfulness, than this is definitely the book for you.
