If you are reading this right now you have been guided here by a higher power for a reason. Nothing in life is a coincidence. Now I must warn you, this is a love story told like no other. This a not just a love story to finding your soulmate or twin flame, but the path back to finding yourself and the love within. The truth is, if you can't love yourself, who can love you in the way that you deserve to be loved? This is my personal diary as to how my entire life changed with a thirty-second hug. Yes, a hug that triggered a kundalini spiritual awakening. As I hugged this person who I had not seen in over twenty years, I felt this fireball of energy ignite within my root chakra, and within seconds that fireball of energy shot out the top of my head like a firework. I felt a burning feeling through my entire body. As he walked away to get in the truck to go home, I thought, "Why are you leaving me here? Take me home with you. I love you." Weird thought to have, considering I was married and had been with the same person for fourteen years at that time. As this person I hugged drove out of sight, I felt as if my heart had been thrown out of my chest and stabbed to death. I went back inside my house. Nothing seemed right anymore. I became very sick and tired. I felt like a completely different person. The rose-coloured glasses came off and I saw my life for what it really was. This was the beginning of my journey into the dark night of the soul. Throughout this book I explain exactly what happened to me. Everything from the kundalini spiritual awakening, spirit, chakras, telepathic communication, different soul connections, dream-sharing, astral travel, past-life regression, different types of therapy, reprocessing trauma on a soul level, healing inner-child wounds, manifestation, how to control spiritual gifts, leaving an abuse cycle and so much more. If you are currently looking outside yourself for your soulmate or twin flame, I encourage you to read my book. If you have already found your twin flame, I hope my story can help you on your journey. If you are are seeking guidance for any spiritual awakening or looking to enhance your spiritual gifts, I have tips throughout the book as to what I did to embrace my gift instead of fear it. My story may sound crazy, and to be honest when I read it I can't believe all of this stuff is actually happening to me. I admit it can be unbelievable at times, as these things can be scary. I assure you this is all 100% true-this is real, this is me. This is my story . . .
