“Our subconscious imprints are the deep-seated beliefs and messages we have received and internalized. Once an imprint is internalized, it becomes a subconscious governing force in our lives. Our imprints form our emotional map, determining our ability to relate to self and to others. Imprints form our perceptions, values, and belief systems. Imprints determine the quality of our relationships with life, God, self, and others. Our values govern our choices as well as our behaviors. They determine whether we are reactive or pro-active. “ (p. 11)
In “The Imprint Journey: A Path of Lasting Transformation Into Your Authentic Self,” Desjardins shares with us her own imprints, stories of others’ imprints, and provides the reader the tools and information needed to successfully overcome any unwanted imprints that may exist in order to help the reader realize his/her “Authentic Self.”
The first part of the book focuses on Liliane Desjardins' life. Reading Desjardins' personal story was deeply interesting to me. She definitely has led an eventful life thus far and reading of all of the imprints picked up along the way was quite fascinating. I found the sharing of her life history to be one of the most appealing parts of the book. The inclusion of personal stories and backgrounds in “self-help” type books really add to the book for me.
The second part of Desjardins' work centers on providing the reader with the tools to recognize and assess imprints and the steps to take to transformation. This information is presented in a manner that a layperson is able to enjoy and understand, and therefore, easily able to learn from.
I think that Desjardins' work has merit and everything that she says makes complete sense. “The Imprint Journey: A Path of Lasting Transformation Into Your Authentic Self” would be beneficial to anyone looking to transform their lives. We all have imprints of some kind so I can’t think of anyone that the information in this book would not be applicable to.
