When Fear Falls Away

The Story of a Sudden Awakening

De: Jan Frazier

Narrado por: Jan Frazier

In August 2003, virtually overnight, Jan Frazier experienced "a dramatic falling away of fear" - not just the immediate fear of her annual medical test but, as she learned as time went on, her fear of everything. She was "flooded with a causeless joy that has never left me." In this audiobook the commonplace belief that enlightenment is only for saints comes apart at the seams. Anyone can be enlightened, and all we need to do is ask. This rare and beautiful account puts Jan Frazier solidly in the tradition of enlightened teachers from J. Krishnamurti to Byron Katie. Guns and money aren't going to buy peace of mind. Giving up fear is.

An Inspiring Story

A real life story of a person who went from Suffering to Realization. The author writes very well and is a good narrator for this work. She tells her story almost like from a diary. There are dates and times when she progresses and her perceptions at many different times on her journey. Thank you for this inspiring work!

Listening to the book is like hearing the most familiar melody of love, you never knew you needed to hear.

Absolutely profound. What a gift Jan is to an aching world. A world full of souls longing to find their way out of suffering. This book is like a sweet song being sung to the heart, beckoning you back home.

Wise & loving teachings about spiritual awakening.

Jan has a gift for writing. Important truths are conveyed in easy to understand ways. I enjoyed her voice.

Lovely Fire of Heart

tremendous account. Honest. Loving mirror . Thank you Jan. I'm eager to read more from you . And to sit in Silence, savoring what you've shared. what I am

Excellent

It’s Easy to understand. Highly recommend. Explained in a very approachable way. To the author thank you for sharing.

Helpful Addition to my study of "awakening"

Would you consider the audio edition of When Fear Falls Away to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version, and at this time I'm not certain that I would need to.

Would you recommend When Fear Falls Away to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this work for anyone that is studying awakening, transformation, consciousness, and spirituality, and requires continued reading material.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I liked the second half of the book a lot more than the first half. I enjoyed the references to excellent spiritual quotes by Tolle, Rumi , and others. I occasionally felt that the readers tone did not accurately reflect the depth of her experience.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes. I had an extreme reaction to the author's deep understanding of "awakening" and her ability to describe many thoughts and feelings that I have experienced. I was repeatedly thankful that someone knew that all this stuff is going on! I felt great joy throughout many parts of the second half of this book! I was very moved when the author explained how her efforts to resist living in her inner world were exhausting.

Any additional comments?

I did not LOVE the first half of this book, because listening to the author's specific hardships about cancer made me uncomfortable, nevertheless, it is hard for me to say more objectively how others would feel about the first half of this book, that clearly fanned the flame of "my" dragon.

What we all need to hear.

Again Jan Frazier says we know, we know, we know, until you are sure you do know. What else can be said.

A delightful journey to where you already are

Jan gives us a glimpse into the intimacy of her own awakening with candor and eloquence. Her writing is soaked through with deep peace and freedom. She describes her awakening unapologetically, while giving hope to those of us still in between worlds. Thank you, Jan.

Listened three three times.

Jan is a wonderful writer and knows the truth of it all. It comes through so beautifully in this book.

Great Content, Dull Performance

I truly loved this book and it taught me so much. I found Jan’s voice monotone and would have preferred a more lively delivery.
