From Author’s Introduction:

“I have worked as a teacher and guide with people all over the world. Numerous times I was asked to write a book and shied away from telling my story, until I recognized the thirst we often have to understand our lives through each other, reaching for freedom. Besides, my life has been far more privileged than the lives of many others who have endured much more than me. Thank you to everyone in the world who has been part of this quest. We are not alone, though we each have to make the choice to grow. If I can do it, I know you can. I also know time is of the essence for us to make far-reaching change.

My life testimonials are intended to give hope, and to inspire mind expansion and action. Some of my experiences bend the mind. Please be open to what is possible! Story-telling, with rawness and whimsy, prevails the pages. Every anecdote is real. Every word is inspired and accurate. This book is a unique mix of memoir and self-help. I thread my stories with a call-to-action, attempting to avoid overused clichés of “a paradigm for transformation,” and still introducing a language of a new era. I invite a dialogue and introduce main principles of a progressive mind which, for example, is either discounted, because it is unfamiliar or scary, or is deemed so miraculous or surreal and kept at bay. What I share is a hot topic for authorities in many fields, like healthcare, quantum science, and broadminded spirituality.”
