Excerpt from the book

ANCIENT WAS WEIGHTY in the way it lifted a veil, or what some would describe as a spiritual attachment that had weighed us down for many years.

When you get buried in something you don’t understand, it can literally drive you to the ground with its foot firmly placed on your throat. That is what my family and I experienced for months, if not years.

I have said many times that I sensed the heaviness lift in the first few weeks after my extended family’s lost souls returned home. At that precise moment, I noticed a shift in my own wellbeing and that of my immediate family.

This included a more positive outlook, with more affirmative thinking, uplifted emotions and a sense of knowing following the removal of this spiritual weight.

There have been some great highlights in my family since then, including graduations and career shifts. These encouraging outcomes have made me understandably proud, but also aware that everything appeared to be heading in the right direction.

Knowing that those around me were pursuing their own paths was significant. That they were learning their own lessons in this life, and experiencing their own individual spiritual growth and development, was pivotal.

While this shift was pronounced, it unfortunately only materialized for a few short weeks, which I would describe as involving a great deal of peace and balance and being in an environment of calm.

The euphoria, the sense of equilibrium though, rapidly descended into what I described as a whirlwind of negative emotion, a clouded viewpoint, uncertainty and a whole lot of undesirable influence.

In the weeks following the completion of Ancient, several deep happenings, interactions and conversations occurred, which set the scene or foundations for Embrace and what was to come.

It was as though it was scripted to occur … funny that!

The first of these key interactions occurred only a few days after the final farewell described in Ancient. It seemed like it was a reiteration of the same old narrative. A familiar, dusty path of negative influence and manipulation.

The promised land of peace, harmony and balance, the perfection I craved or what I thought was owed, didn’t materialize the way I had hoped or imagined.
