Description

There is something deeply powerful about sharing inspirational stories of personal transformation. In this autobiographical teaching memoir, the reader is given a guided tour into the mind, heart, and soul of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Beginning with a collection of touching childhood vignettes, traumatic life experiences, and prophetic dreams, the author reveals her personal healing journey of self-discovery, her goal to become a “midwife of the soul,” and her ultimate mission to inspire readers to discover what is possible in their own lives.

Each vignette is followed by a prescriptive narrative, or reflection, intended to teach the reader how to recognize traumatic experiences as a gateway to spiritual awakening. Just as a midwife identifies the signs of impending birth and guides the mother to a safe delivery, a “midwife of the soul” identifies the signs and symptoms of spiritual birth hidden within life’s most difficult challenges. This teaching memoir will encourage the reader to acknowledge their own inner divinity as the highest priority and purpose in life, recognize the soul’s cry to be spiritually birthed and nurtured, and to develop the qualities needed to become a midwife of their own sacred soul.
