Peggy Rometo - The Little Book Of Big Promises Book Review

Peggy Rometo is an intuitive healer and psychic medium and Reiki master. In her book ‘The little book of big promises’, she explains that we have come to physical world to fulfil some promises to the creator. This book is about finding out our real purpose or the promises made to the creator and then fulfilling the purpose.

Our mind behaves in habitual patterns which create automatic reactions in our life. Many times, these patterns are destructive and are not aligned with our purpose in life or with our highest good. The connection between body and mind is well established and the mental patterns are expressed in the body as pain and illness. In this book, Peggy provides processes using meditation to interpret the mental patterns based on what our body says. The book is provided as a self help guide so that the reader can learn the processes, follow them and derive the answers.

Before coming to this world, we made promises to the creator but unfortunately we have forgotten them. Its our job to find out what are those promises and work towards fulfilling them in order to help others and progress spiritually. Peggy gives a three step process in order to uncover the promises, which is called pursuit of promises.

In every chapter, giving examples from her life, she explains this process and asks the reader to do the process in order to find out what promise is revealed from the exercise.

This process is accompanied by guided meditations which are provided in her website for the buyers of this book.

The mind body connection has been discussed and explained in many books including Louise Hay’s Heal your body. The approach in this book is slightly different. Some important points in Peggy’s approach are:

- Her self questioning process uses the intuitive mind in order to find out the purpose of our life (promises made).

- Through a meditative process, she guides the reader to interpret the pains and sensations in the body so as to reveal the mental patterns that caused the body illness.

- After being aware, one can release the emotional pains and mental patterns by listening and accepting them, another part of the process explained by Peggy.

- Then establishing new patterns and new behaviour though affirmations or mantras as she called them.

This book contains a step by step process for releasing the old patterns and establishing the new patterns. Though she is a psychic and gave various examples involving her psychic ability, she does not combine psychic ability with the processes. Instead she encourages readers to go through the process trusting the inherent intelligence in ourselves and we will get the answers.

She also reveals that many of the established negative mental patterns are due to past life experiences. However she allows the readers who don’t believe in re-incarnation, suggesting them to consider the past life insights as stories that could have affected them. The focus is on making the reader comfortable – to start with his/her present beliefs and work on themselves to get better through the tools given. I felt this approach is very helpful to many who may be sceptic to start with.

There is also a chapter on deepening your intuitive, which s quite helpful.

The quotations of famous persons provided under each chapter heading are very relevant, insightful and inspiring.

Real life examples from author’s life to demonstrate each process or tool, provided additional clarity and value.

In the appendix, a summary or step by step brief of all the meditations and processes suggested in this book is provided. This is extremely helpful as a ready reference during practice.
