The Book
Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness
part poem, part memoir, part guide. it doesn't teach you about feeling - it creates the feeling in you.
dearest - this is the book i needed when no one had the language.
not a manual for awakening. a hand in the dark. something to feel, not just read.
i wrote it because someone had to sit down and write the hand.
to all those on the journey.
you are already home.
Something to hold
not a file on a screen. a real thing - to set on the table in the morning light, to carry, to return to on the hard days.
A glimpse inside
"There may be no one else who understands this passion. But I do. And I honor you. You are not alone. "
"We are kindred, you and I."
What readers feel
"Yu's writing is at its most powerful when grounded in her lived experience… passages like this make the author's invocations of mystical healing after trauma feel well-earned and convincing."
Kirkus Reviews"Not just a book - a masterpiece that has the power to stir the depths of your soul."
Suzie Housley · Book Reviewer"You helped me understand what my therapist was trying to say all this time. I'd been seeing her for a while - and I just met you."
someone i sat with"So poetic and so profound. There's something about the way you write - it reads like poetry."
A reader, on the writing"Gentle reflections on love as the catalyst for awakening."
Publishers Weekly · BookLife"Short on pages but hits with high impact. Enough love and light to get you through another awful day."
Russell Carpenter · Amazon"Such a raw and poetic story… it left me feeling very introspective. If you're looking for a deep read, this is it."
T.C. · Amazonover 500 reader reviews. the word they reach for, unprompted, is poetry.
stillness was never the destination.
this is -
coming alive.

How to read it
From the author
i'm Jane.
i wrote this for the version of me who was walking it alone - and for you, if that's where you are right now.
and in truth, this is where we all are, everyday of our lives, learning to open our hearts, be here now, and be and breathe life into who we already are. love it self as you choose it. define it. be it. to feel the twinkle in your eyes again, and know it is so.
i'm walking right alongside you.
