A Beautiful Blending of Eloquent Clarity and Heartfulness
If your spiritual path includes self-love, getting in touch with and coming from the heart, accepting and loving all the disowned parts of yourself, allowing the mind to be in service to the heart, and any heart-oriented focus along those lines, do not hesitate to get this book; I feel completely safe in saying that you will not be disappointed. From a heart-centered view and focus, to me it is a masterpiece. As an addition, I would also recommend the Sound True CD set (or download). The humility, warmth, transparency, and compassion that comes through in her voice makes this unabridged reading a contemplative and meditative experience.
A perfect book during a much needed time
I have been following Sarah Blondin for a couple of years now. I am so happy to say that this book has delivered on all of my expectations. This book and much of Sarah's work aims to reconnect us with a feeling of love and comfort that most of us didn't even know we were missing. If you fully immerse yourself in the writing in this book, you will notice a significant shift in your thinking. You will realize that there has always been a tiny feeling of safety and happiness that peeks out every once in a while and then mysteriously vanishes. This book will help you hold on to that feeling and cultivate self-love and confidence inside of you. I recommend this book to literally everyone. In a time of uncertainty and fear, we could all benefit immeasurably from Sarah's teachings right now. I hope the whole world will one day be lucky enough to have been impacted by Sarah's work.
The Best Friend I Will Always Carry with Me!
Sarah has a brilliantly beautiful gift for guiding others to the depth of their hearts in a gentle and graceful way. I remember the first time I came across one of her meditations. She moved me in a way no other meditation teacher has. Her book Heart-Minded is truly out of this world! Eloquent and exquisite are the two words I think of when I think about her writing which is deep to the core. The meditations that accompany this fine body of work that has brought me to new depths, released many tears and helped me stand even stronger in the light of who I am. I’ve already gifted this book to a friend and also recommended it to several of my clients…and this isn’t the end, as I will continue to spread the word about this book that will no doubt help many in some pretty powerful and potent ways.
This book could save the World!
Thank you Sarah for Heart Minded. My mission is to gift your beautiful book and meditations to as many people as I can. To encourage those souls to gift it to people in their lives an so on. In this way perhaps it really will change the World! Thank you Sarah Blondin so much for sharing this most important “guidebook for life” with the World! You are truly a treasured blessing in my life and the lives of those who read Heart Minded. With all my heart, ❤️ Janie
Toolbox filled with Relief Hope Grace and Love
Oh how I'd love to leave a review that is as eloquent as Sarah's way of speaking. Alas, I am grateful to be the recipient of the gift she so freely shares. She has helped me heal and grow through pure grace delivered in her calming angel/mother/sister/sage voice. Her Insight timer meditations shifted me into a place where meditation became a joy to me. I trust her messages and allow them to wash over my sore spots and find the root of the injury. If you are searching for comfort during these times, you will be richly rewarded with clarity and tools to help you navigate what is coming, and be present to understand your divine role in it. Thank you, Sarah, with all my heart, I honor you. Namaste.
Everyone must read and follow the practices in this book!
I recently, at the age of 56, I finally discovered that I have been suppressing my feelings for most of my life. I have been working on “how to feel.” Sounds silly, but many of us don’t know how. We stuff, hide, suppress and cover our feelings for a multitude of legitimate reasons. Sarah, you have a gift and you are a gift. EVERYONE should read this book. Especially now. If everyone in our country who is fearful, angry, hateful, rioting, destroying, shooting, name calling, shaming, and blaming would read this, do the meditations, and learn how to feel and love themselves, our country would begin to heal. I just ordered this Heart Minded for my three adult children. I wish I would have had this when they were little. Sarah, thank you and God bless you!
A ray of sunshine that you can share with all!
Sarah’s book is something of an unheralded work of art and insight that is just being discovered now. Her gentle intelligence and truthful vulnerability is a reflection of what we all share. And her insight into deep currents of our humanity will inspire you, guide you and reveal yourself to you in ways that you know but are unable to articulate alone. This book is a masterpiece.
A Must Have! 💕
This books helps you TRULY listen to your heart. It is always talking but there is so much outside and inside noise, it is hard to give our heart the full attention it needs. That we need! Sarah helps you to notice, feel, see, sense. If you love Sarah’s meditations, you will love this book AND the added bonuses at the end of most chapters. This book is a forever book.
Buy this book!
Dear God I love this woman! She touches my heart like nothing I’ve ever heard. I loved her podcasts and now I adore her writing. I can’t wait for the next book!
My "Heart Bible"
I soon named this book my Heart Bible. Sarah has wowed me for years starting with Insight timer meditations. I was so excited to pre order this book. The meditations at the end of each chapter were a bonus to listen to. I will also go back and listen time and time again to these. I bow to you Sarah and all you have taught me. Your glorious frequency and light will continue to guide me.

Opened a Door
I was invited to listen to Heart Minded on Audible, and after a few days of listening I decided I needed the book to enhance my experience. The work Sarah Blondin encourages is profound, and I discovered her wisdom at the perfect time in my life (isn't that always the cas?). Her words, and particularly her practices, have taken me to a new level of self-understanding. I recommend this book highly to everyone.
A must read for spiritual, heart-minded seekers.
This book is gorgeous and profound! I love listening to the beautiful meditations available for each chapter on Sarah Blondin’s website. Her voice is so soothing, spiritual and wise! Thank you for your beautiful voice and writing, Sarah.
Just buy this book ASAP!
I’ve never left an Amazon review in my life, but after reading one chapter in this book I had to. I’ve read my fair share of self help books, and most of them didn’t seem to feel right or feel relatable. This one is what I’ve been looking for. The meditations that come with the book are stunning and inspiring, I’ve listened to the first one twice already. Sarah’s words are truly heart opening, she really gives you hope that you are capable and deserving of creating the life you’ve always wanted.
Personal retreat
If you are looking for a personal retreat, but our pandemic doesn’t allow-this book is perfect. The combination of readings and meditation are perfect. Add some yoga and nutritious food and you will feel alive!
Heart Full and Gorgeous
I have the book because I love tangible books but I highly recommend also buying this on audio so the author can read to her in her signature voice that in itself is heart healing.
Incredible
This is the best book I have ever read. I was in tears for most of it, thank you so much for this beautiful work.
If you're reading the reviews about this book just stop, buy the dang book.
This book is beautifully written and will soothe your soul. Sarah has a gift with stringing words together in a poetic yet simple way. We're all just trying to remember what our true nature is, love, and Sarah has a gentle way of helping us along that journey.
Life changing ❤️
This book and the chapter meditations have been life changing! I recently bought more copies of this book to share with people I care about!
Warm, beautiful, stirring
