Christine and Cheryl Lyric are twin sisters and inspirational authors who offer an alternative solution for coping with unhappiness. At a young age, fueled by long-standing depression, they had a spiritual awakening which drove them to find answers. As a result, they embarked on an intrapersonal journey of self-awareness and found a fix; the art of living consciously. This practice helped them learn to connect to their authentic selves, ultimately finding the happiness they were seeking. They desire to share their wisdom to inspire others to uncover their inherent joy as they did.

Mirror Images: A Holistic Approach To Happiness by Christine and Cheryl Lyric is a path discovered by two sisters, both of whom struggled through a lifetime filled with depression and sadness. “We came to see this sadness as an unrelenting force that propelled us in our search.” The mirroring process, our daily experiences with others and their resulting reflections, can assist us in uncovering the truth of what we view ourselves to be. The book introduces us to a seven-step process to achieve this in actual life, illustrating each step with examples. Complementary supports to mirror images are also given; books, practitioners, meditation music, a healthy diet and other forms of help.
The book mentions that the mirroring process can be extremely liberating, and it can make you feel free from longstanding patterns that kept you tied to inaccurate views. By explaining that these patterns were once created by your internal confusion, doubt, anger, or fear of the unknown, the authors give us a good reason to try this technique. For who is free from internal confusion, fear, and other destabilizing forces? However, the steps suggested are more or less abstract in nature and are dependent on one's perception. For example, Step Six: Discover the Truth to Declare and Integrate a New State of Being. I found this book rather difficult for a beginner and I think a thorough study might be needed to absorb the information. This book gives a good discussion on the positive changes that can be expected from mirroring which, of course, is a motivator.
