Breathing Into the Light

One Woman's Journey Embracing the Sacredness of All Life

De: Pamela Verner

Narrado por: Pamela Verner

Pam struggled for many years on the sharp edges of suicide, grieving over betrayals and loss, in a vicious circle of denial, blaming, and shaming. Fighting for her very life, with her back against the wall, she ventured forward despite fear and found a way to move beyond feeling like a victim.

She used her voice and took action, saving her own life. She chose to search for the light within and beyond the pain. She knew it was there. She confronted and overcame: codependency and her husband’s alcoholism, sexual abuse by her first psychotherapist, victim blaming, fear of going beyond family rules and limits, fear of standing up to sexism, and fear of owning her voice. She moved beyond all of it.

Refusing to identify with the struggle itself, she used what she learned and became a therapist. A life-threatening injury and the gift of a book marrying science and spirituality emboldened her to end her denial of mystical spiritual experiences that she'd kept secret as a child yet had held her throughout her trials.

She found she’d been guided throughout her entire life, even during times she felt so desperately alone. This brought her to explore her ancestral lineage, past lives, and soul retrieval, experiencing spiritual guides and angels, leaving the listener with the awareness of the possibilities that lie within us all. Every one of us.

She learned our struggles are our gifts, as long as we decide to move beyond them. As long as we choose to forgive. Both ourselves and those who hurt us. And we are never alone. She brought the light she saw to the battlefield that was her life. And recovered. While she would be the first to say she is an ordinary human being and that her life is not perfect, she found truth and authentic love within her struggles, reaching a deep peace for which we all yearn. And which is available to all. Every. Single. Person.

A powerful read

There were so many things to take away from this book. What stood out most to me is that while our past does shape who we are and does influence the choices we make, it’s up to us to dig deeper to really know why we feel the way we do and why we make the choices we make. This was an amazing story and a privilege to have heard.
