Illumination; Contemplations for an Awakened Life

Self Exploration. Self Acceptance. Self Healing. All within the pages of Illumination: Contemplations for an Awakened Life Authored by Barbara Flood, Ph.D., Illumination: Contemplations for an Awakened Life is the result of many moments of creative, self introspection in the form of personal essays. Illumination provides you with reflections about the depth, beauty and grace of living life as a sacred journey to God. Each chapter is a guide to a more profound and poignant understanding of ourselves, our relations with others and creation, and our ever expanding awareness of the presence of the magic and mystery of this universe.

Barbara Flood's love of the grandeur and beauty of God s creative force was birthed in her childhood in the Canadian wilderness. It was there amidst the pristine lakes, vast open skies and howling wolves that she first came to experience the divine grace and gift of our living earth. Her journey into the spiritual has taken her to many sacred lands, including the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, the deep canyons of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the temples of Mexico, India and Indonesia. She has studied the mysteries and spiritual traditions of the world. The depth of her life study and experience is reflected in these contemplative and engaging chapters. Dr. Flood holds a Masters in Social Work and a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and is an ordained minister. She is a spiritual director and professional Life Coach and offers courses and retreats.
