The aim of this book is to get the reader to look beyond the physical aspects of life and to understand that there are in fact other dimensions that are not visible to most eyes. It introduces questions about Who we are, other than just human beings and explains that we all have an energy field surrounding the physical body and that this is intricate in our overall state of health and wellbeing. For the novice this work provides concepts to open the mind to other possibilities and for the seasoned spiritual traveller it may expand their knowledge and vision of the depth of consciousness that dwells within us all. There are visualisations included that are easy to follow with attainable results to help people with issues that may be troubling them and to generally open the mind to greater truths. It proposes that thoughts are things and that we can change our reality by changing the way we think and that far from being impotent we all have the capacity to create better and more enriched lives. Self-empowerment through healing the self is the paramount theme of this book and its objective is to inspire and engage the interest and willingness to grow and heal the self, which will be the result of reading this book. The style is easy to read and straight forward as there are no difficult concepts or ideas. It is likely that all who read it will find exactly what they need in order to move forward in a positive and energised way.

Lifting the Veil, Raising Consciousness poses questions that you may not ever have considered asking yourself, such as 'Who am I' and 'Why am I here'. For some, these questions never get asked and so life is perceived from the physical and material aspects only. Do you believe that your mind is in your head and its output is generated from your brain? Or do you have the wider perspective that 'mind' is a non-local consciousness that interacts with other minds on an invisible and energetic level? This book endeavours to open you up to the possibility that we are all connected through an invisible field and that we are individual sparks of one consciousness known by many names but ultimately recognised as a higher or supreme power. Most of us go through life disconnected from this source because we lack the understanding or belief that we are all children of the one source and worthy to be so. The premise of this book is that none of us are sinners but rather we are here to experience life in all its facets and for the one source to know itself through us. Each chapter offers a higher perspective than our ordinary mind can, for the everyday mind is filled with constant chatter from the ego which is not our true self. However, we believe wholeheartedly that it is telling us the truth and that it reflects who we are. If this book can stimulate you to ask the right questions and open your mind to greater possibilities, then it has served its purpose and fulfilled its mission.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be on a spiritual path? Do you sometimes wish you could see into the invisible world of spirit guides and celestial beings? You already communicate with higher consciousness through intuition but you may not realise it. Everyone has the capability to tune into other dimensions but doubt and disbelief will cloud the mind causing frustration. The thoughts that others can do it but not you are a barrier to receiving guidance. The idea that you have to be specially gifted to "see or hear" prevents you from opening up to the often subtle messages that spirit beings are trying to convey. Signs from the universe come in many forms and until you attune to a higher awareness you may be oblivious to most other than the "hit you over the head" kind of information.It isn't easy to stay focused on a spiritual life when we are regularly presented with everyday challenges but when we know can turn to a higher consciousness it helps us deal with life in a more informed and understanding way.Instead of playing small and thinking that there is nothing special about ourselves we can learn that we are powerful and strong. It is only conditioning and belief that hold us down and keep us in the illusion that we are simply physical entities. The fact is we are spiritual beings having a human experience, rather than human beings having a spiritual experience. We come from the spirit world with a plan to learn certain lessons and to hopefully master them, these lessons can include learning how to be powerless or powerful, healthy or disabled, rich or poor. Every one of us has lived before and will live again in a physical existence but these are things you have to discover for yourself to make them meaningful. There is nothing more convincing that direct experience but even then the mind will want to make you doubt the things you cannot explain in rational and logical terms.You are not alone in your struggles. Spirit Matters, Gateways to Healing and Higher Dimensions offers you the opportunity to look deep within and decide how you can best connect with the spiritual dimensions and the loving guides and teachers that are there to help. That is of course if you have the desire or inclination to do so. The choice is yours to make.
