Author Quinn here presents a spiritual memoir, God-centered and devotional. Her childhood was scarred with abuse, her mentally ill mother ignoring verbal and physical cruelties from her perpetually enraged father. The early loss of a favorite brother was another scar, followed by two near-death experiences. Though she maintained a steady trajectory aided by a love-based marriage and motherhood, she longed to move beyond surviving into thriving. Realizing that she was living on gifted time, and hearing of a Costa Rican spiritual shaman, Apenimon, whose healing powers evinced deeply positive experiences, she immediately applied for a retreat. Apenimon's wisdom and the companionship of fellow devotees demonstrated the spiritual significance of connectivity with the natural world through deep breathing techniques. By her sojourn's end, she had "fairy wings," prepared to come out of her head and live the mystery of each new experience.
Quinn's thought-provoking insights provide multiple concepts: there is no separate self; everything is designed to bring us into alignment with love; and there is an energy world coexisting with the material world but far more real and, with elevated consciousness, offering a colorful force to enhance all aspects of life. Quinn, a transpersonal psychologist and licensed breath worker, depicts her profound realizations as an ongoing conversation with life, leading to her determination to share her inner knowledge with others. After absorbing these truths, Quinn began to understand her earlier struggles from a fresh vantage point—through the eyes of love. Practicing breathwork evoked further inner growth, changing the stories wrapped around her early traumas and freeing the stuck energy from her psyche and body. Quinn's newfound spiritual path has led to remarkable, enduring successes, allowing her to offer honest and inspirational advice to others, appealing to and assisting all sincere seekers of higher realities and durable, pragmatic discoveries.
