Read Book Review

Soul Journeys is a practical spiritual guide that gives the voyager an open invitation to connect with their inner being. Grace Jenkins, the author, highlights her personal spiritual journey while also defining key soul findings which she has learned along the way. The opening section of the book describes how certain external factors have power over our internal bodies. For example, Jenkins talks about sunlight and healthy food affecting our moods and auras, while junk food and stress steal our energy.

Each internal spiritual experience is followed by an illustration providing the reader with an idea of where each chakra and aura live in relation to the human body. Though the illustrations are a nice way to split the text and draw the readers’ eyes, at times they served to make the concepts a bit more confusing to understand.

Jenkins is very open to how she presents her soul journey guide. Rather than attempt to pigeonhole soul searchers into one religion or belief system she actively encourages readers to conduct their own research and discover prayers, chants, and Gods that help them to reclaim their power. The example charts that she includes in the book help engage the reader by piquing our curiosity and explaining how numerology, astrology, and karma affect our day-to-day interactions and futures.

Each section explores a different spiritual ideology which can be applied using simple math, birth dates, or simple routines. Though Jenkins does a great job of giving a brief overview of each practice she has tried a few of the sections that lack a bit of her personal story. In places it reads as a spiritual workbook for the reader and in others like a mini memoir of Jenkins’ own experiences. While she does an excellent job of going through various spiritual practices and divination tools it feels as though there are some elements which were withheld that would make it easier to follow one’s soul journey into one’s own life.

Soul Journeys is a quick read that is easy to flip through for new ideas of practices for the spiritual inclined. Structurally speaking it would be nice if this short guide included a table of contents and slightly less dense text. All in all, this is a great book to heighten one’s awareness.
