The following reviews are what readers and book reviewers have to say about my books. If you've read any of my books (I hope you have), I'd love it if you'd write a review and share your thoughts. You can send me your review at gloriachadwick@hotmail.com.
I truly enjoyed this book because past-life regression clients so often want to look into future lives while exploring issues in a past life that influences their present life. The book explores how karma fundamentals and creating your own reality emphasize responsibility for your actions, choices, decisions, and accepting the consequences for all you've created. This book empowers you and provides a foundation for making choices and changes. Are your experiences created in your emotions before they appear in your life? Can you change the direction and expression of your experiences by changing your thoughts and emotions? It has for me since my experiences now reflect changes I made. I enjoyed this book because it showed me how Karmic situations appear when it's time for balancing. And this book gave me the balance I wanted from reading it. — Amazon reader, March, 2008
The book delves into how past, present, and future are intertwined and affect each other. Linear time only exists on the physical plane; on the mental and spiritual planes, time is circular and one. By meditating, you can enter into an altered state of mind where you can help shape your present by changing your past energies to reflect the positive energies in the now -- the same with the future. You can't physically re-do the past, but you can on the mental plane and the energetic effects will change your present and future. And in that thinking, one can go to the future and set up the present to be the way you prefer it to be. It's beyond interesting and really challenges your present thinking of time. A great read. Future Lives: Discovering & Understanding Your Destiny
This book is a how-to manual designed for those interested in finding out more about themselves. Rather than stressing only case studies or theories, this book shows the reader how to find out about his or her own past lives. Within its pages, Chadwick discusses situations such as a familiarity with someone you’ve just met, the meaning of birthmarks, inexplicable fears, familiar scenes, and other phenomena that seem to be indicative of past life experiences. It avoids occult phraseology and it gives a workable theory for understanding the nature of the unconscious mind. — Fate Magazine, June, 1989
Starting with the assumption that reincarnation is an established fact, the author concentrates on the ways in which past lives may affect the events and details of a person's present existence. Ms. Chadwick describes how to recognize past-life memories as they arise from the subconscious mind in relaxed states and in dreams. Included is the technique of following up those "this has happened before" feelings of déjà vu. Furthermore, there are sections on validating past-life experiences through investigation and research.
Also presented is the traditional and proven technique of getting ideas about what must have happened in a past life that would bring about conditions that exist in the present. For example, intense and long-lived interests that you pursue in your spare time may point to a career in a previous incarnation. So may talents that surface unexpectedly from time to time. Apparently irrational fears may be based on real occurrences in a previous life.
The author concludes with a lengthy discussion of karma, the universal law of cause and effect whereby the effects of our activities in one life may not be felt until a future life. People from past existences may show up in your life and "give you the opportunity" to get the relationship right this time around. The book tries to show you how every deed has its inescapable consequences—a concept that tends to foster a sense of responsibility. Ms. Chadwick explains everything simply, and without jargon—except for a few buzzwords such as "Alpha" and "karma," which she explains carefully. There is much valuable information here to look at. — David Godwin, Fate Magazine, January, 1991
Ms. Chadwick teaches classes on reincarnation and has conducted thousands of past life regressions. In the book, she goes into detail on how current fears, likes, and attitudes may be the result of experiences from the past intruding on the present. There are four basic sections (Beginnings, Explorations & Experiences, Karma, and Enlightenment), each of which is further subdivided into chapters. There is a strong emphasis on self-development which is all to the good. The suggestions on how to enter a receptive state are powerful and will help you to understand your motivations. It is best to keep a journal on everything that comes through as even the smallest detail may turn out to have significance later on. Each chapter of the book contains a number of useful exercises. Dreams are a direct pathway to the subconscious and a tool for exploring past lives. Karma is simply letting the past go and creating a much more fruitful present. The nature of this book is to help you create a positive experience. Worth reading and very well done. — W. Ritchie Benedict, The Emerald Path, May-June, 1991
Absolutely loved it! I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than two days. I continue to read it and try her exercises. Since purchasing it, I have learned that it is recommended by several New Age believers. Though I haven't gotten far in my discoveries, I take her advice and remain patient. Day by day, I understand more and more, and come ever closer to further enlightenment. — Amazon reader, September, 1999
Amazing ... She put meaning and reason behind all that I thought. She gave excellent exercises to do, and so much more. She answered questions in a down-to-earth manner and I really enjoyed the book. — Amazon reader, July, 1999.
It made sense of my thoughts that weighed heavy on my heart! This book has been so powerful at making sense of what I was already thinking and feeling. I found the way she explained things, such as why we are here and to let life happen, has put my life in a perspective with such harmony and joy that now I enjoy my life as an adventure more than ever. It helps to have direct exercises to open our spirit to become more in tune with why we are learning the lessons that are in our life now. I have shared many of the views from this book with my friends and they are feeling the same release of pressure to just do what society says and instead to listen to our inner voice. We know so much more than we give ourselves credit for! My favorite part was about the three types of soul mates. I continue to ready this book daily. I recommend it to everyone that enjoys learning more about who they are in this lifetime. — J. Nichols-Parrish, May, 1999
Finally ... The "why's" answered from fears to birthmarks. If you ever wonder why you fear things, don't like certain people, or where birthmarks come from, this book on reincarnation will answer these questions and spark your interest. Author Gloria Chadwick offers an in-depth look at past lives and ways to remember them. In order to keep the book interesting, Chadwick fills each chapter with real stories about people who have actually remembered their past lives, as well as explanations to questions that today's scientists have not answered. Though many people see a hypnotist to experience past life therapy, Chadwick teaches how one can achieve this on their own, in the comfort and privacy of their home. For believers or nonbelievers, this book will surely be an interesting read for both the information and the entertainment it offers. — Amazon reader, June, 1999

Through meditation, other treasures can be uncovered. One such treasure is how to rediscover the wonders and joys of childhood, and successfully recapture precious special moments from that time. Gloria Chadwick is a well-known and respected author, and she writes and lectures frequently on meditation. Inner Journeys is her finest book to date, well worth your time, and a pleasure to read. — Lee Prosser, January, 2007

I’ve been looking for a resource just like this one. I have an ever growing collection of books about meditation. Some are formally presented and strictly adhere to a particular religious or dogmatic affiliation. Others, like Inner Journeys, are more fluid and easier to tailor to particular needs or situations as required. Inner Journeys is one of the better books that I’ve come across. The author has included three sections of meditations: metaphysical, magical, and mystical. Each section contains about 25 different self-guided meditations. The majority of these include visualization aspects. The entries themselves are extremely rich in detail which only adds to the effect. Often just reading through these meditations, I found myself transported to another place and experience. I’m very pleased with Inner Journeys. With so many different meditations to choose from, it is easy to find the visualization that I might require on any given day. Furthermore, I found myself becoming more open and creative with my regular meditations. — Dr. Tami Brady, TCM Reviews Inner Journeys: Meditations and Visualizations
