Let Love In: Open Your Heart and Mind to Attract Your Ideal Partner

This is one of the best books I've read on relationships and the subconscious mind. It's written in an easy-to-understand and straightforward way. What sets this book apart from other self-help/dating books in the market is that the author zeroes in on the crux of the problem, instead of glossing over it like most of the self-help books out there. She lays out the groundwork by clearly explaining the functions of the subconscious mind and its effects on our lives. She also demystifies the stereotype and false beliefs surrounding hypnosis. She makes you delve deep into your psyche by making you question the origin of your core beliefs and then guides you through a step-by-step self-hypnosis exercises in order to tap into your subconscious mind and rewire your internal software. When the conscious mind isn't alligned with the subconscious mind's core beliefs then we unwittingly attract unfavorable partners and situations. Our conscious mind desires to find love, a healthy relationship and a happy marriage, but our subconscious mind believes it's far-fetched and impossible. As a result, we find ourselves caught in the same horrible cycle. The conscious mind and the subconscious mind must work harmoniously together in order to create favorable situations in our lives and to magnetize men/women who are nurturing, honest, and compatible.I am 27 year old and in the past several years, I've found myself dating the same domineering, unfaithful, and abusive man but with a differnt name/face. I couldn't understand why I was so unlucky. My self-esteem and self- worth had begun to suffer to the point where I had given up on finding Mr. Good Enough, let alone Mr.Right. My heart was chronically battered and bruised. After reading the nuggets of wisdom found in this book, I realized why I attracted men that were clones of one another. I remember when I was 15, I always believed that the guy I was going to meet would wind up cheating on me. I don't know how I winded up adopting such a false belief but this limiting belief remained with me until I've begun educating myself about the powers of the subconscious mind. And indeed, practically all of the guys I had dated had cheated on me. Plus, I carried deep-seated self-loathing for many years and this too reflected itself in my outer world. The abusive men simply mirrored my own self-hatred. The sheer realization that thoughts do create your reality empowered me to change my life. Ever since I've begun doing the self-hypnosis exercises, I've noticed self-respecting men asking me out more. I no longer believe that the man I'm going to meet will cheat on me. Fears of living alone have been replaced with a healthy dose of self-love and enjoying my own company. Ms. Berndt helped me realize that before I can be happy with a man, I must learn to be happy on my own. The internal change I feel is subtle yet palpable. I feel confident and self-assured that everyday I'm drawing the right man to me. A few weeks into self-hypnosis, I dreamt of myself saying out loud in front of a mirror, " I am whole and healed." Indeed, I've noticed my heart had ceased to ache and I have healed. Since the subconscious mind communicates with us via dreams, I knew that the affirmation that I'd been saying had penetrated my subconscious mind. This book really transformed my mindset and helped me recognize my worth and self-love. All of the chapters are insightful but I especially liked the section on self-forgiveness since it had a profound effect on me and set the self-forgiveness wheels into motion. I would like to note that I have tried for many years to forgive myself and even sought therapy for it but none had as a profound impact on me as the simple yet effective hypnosis exercise that Ms. Berndt has outlined in the book. Friends and family are surprised by my positive outlook on life. I wish it was written years ago.This book may be targeted to women but I honestly think that it works for both genders. If you are single and wondering why your dating record is blighted with wrong men or women and want to utilize the tools to bring you one step closer to finding your true love, then this book is for you! I highly recommend it! If you enjoy this book, then I also recommend The Genie Within Your Subconscious Mind by Harry W. Carpenter. I hope you find this review helpful and I hope you find your true love.

This is one of the best dating books I have ever read. The best one, actually. Few dating books will have an impact on you as Let Love In does.Let Love In helps to discover and address your personal issues, those deeply rooted in your belief system that prevent you from finding a partner, or the right one anyway. The fact that the author went through the same process and came out shining like star is a great incentive to the reader. She has been there before, and the reader really feels so. She is not only a woman who went through the same process, but also a certified clinical hypnotist.Let love in is not an easy book to read, and the journal exercises can be very painful, as you have to address your inner fears and thoughts to do them. The self-hypnosis exercises are amazing and so very relaxing, but, again, can be very painful, especially the self-forgiving ones. The book includes a terrific mp3 download bonus; however, if you want the recordings of all the self-hypnosis exercises in the book, you have to buy them separately in the author's website, and they are very expensive. Still, you can record the reading of each of them, and go through the whole process on you own.This is one of the few dating books that I would recommend to my single friends (both male and female), because it does not tell you to play games, or to follow any rule, or to modify who you truly are to catch the person of your dreams. Too often, dating books tell you not to show your assets, disguise your intelligence, and be passive or manipulative. This is not the case here. The message is, you are great the way you are, you just have to work on your issues and open yourself to the world to find the person that will find you great the way you are. The book is, mostly, a powerful healing tool.Truly great.

I write this review even though I still haven't finished reading this book as I'm working my way through the exercises and meditations. Have you ever got a feeling about some product that you were looking for and when you chanced upon that something, everything just clicked into place and satisfied you 100%? Well, that's what this book is doing for me. I've got a gut instinct about this book. This is the one that's going to help me make a shift in my consciousness. I love the meditations - they are deeply life affirming, very gentle and very loving and the book leads you to uncover your blocks to love and re-programs your mind. The title of this book is very apt; it does show you how to open your mind to attract love and all this coming from someone who still hasn't finished reading the book as yet!

If took me ages to get through this book. However, I believe it is a worthwhile read. Have taken away lots of great exercises to do and points to consider. I am ready and equipped to finding my man.

this has really helped me to feel okay about being single, for the first time in my life (Im 25) I dont feel empty.

Good book

I must admit I was a little skeptical at first about whether self hypnosis would actually work for me. But it did. The exercises helped me realize what was holding me back from opening my heart to love and gave me a giant boost of confidence. I can finally say with absolute certainty now that I love myself and am worthy of being loved. I feel as if a giant weight has been lifted from me.
