Kristen has the grace and courage to gift us with the story of her own awakening and how it feels to be an empath and a highly sensitive person. I liked the poetry and the stories of others that she shares. They show the many different ways that yoga and meditation can help us in our lives. She leaves us with good food for thought as well as tools and practices to help us as we grow and evolve in a spiritual practice.

About The Gift of Awakening
Anxiety, health problems, and spiritual expansion are a special trinity of mind-body experiences that often lead people to seek treatment. These symptoms are common for someone going through a spiritual crisis, something the medical establishment does not recognize but can be helped with yoga, meditation, and other healing arts. The author and several of her students and colleagues share their sacred, personal stories as awakening and highly sensitive beings who recognized and overcome these three challenges. They come to realize–individually and collectively–the higher purpose and power that comes from receiving validation, healing, compassionate connection, and ultimately using their spiritual sensitivities to comfort, serve, and heal others.

The Gift of Sharing

5/5
I appreciate that this book is non-religious.
Jane A. Saunders - Amazon Review
Favorite part: Kristen’s explanation of mindfulness is the best and most thorough I’ve ever read. To learn that it is “virtually limitless in its application” is quite intriguing. Because of this, I will practice being mindful on many more occasions. Thank you, Kristen, for telling your story!
5/5

Amazon Review
This read verifies that which is in all of us, the alertness to actively partake in changing our life to what has always been our nature, nonjudgmental love. I appreciate each story shared. Thank you.
