Press Overview

Jane Kim Yu

Jane Kim Yu is a writer and founder of Presence Made Visible — creating work that reveals truth through the awakened heart. Her first book, Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness, is a lived record of awakening as emotional honesty, tenderness, and return. Rather than mind-first spirituality, her work begins in embodied truth and ordinary realities of being human.

  • Orientation: Heart-first awakening — embodiment, not performance.
  • Voice & form: Poetic language and lived presence — transmission more than instruction.
  • For audiences: The tender-hearted, the quietly searching, and those tired of bypassing.
If you’re introducing this work: it speaks from love, not merely about love — and frames awakening as the moment the heart becomes visible.

Orientation

How This Work Is Often Experienced

Jane’s work is often described as heart-first rather than mind-first — not as “teaching,” but as lived presence expressed through language. Readers and listeners note that it does not explain love as a concept, but speaks from love itself: through emotional truth, tenderness, and human honesty.

Rather than offering systems or performance, this work creates space. It tends to resonate with those who feel deeply, who have tried mind-first spirituality, and who sense there is another way — one that does not bypass grief, longing, or the ordinary ache to be loved.

If you’re writing about this work, awakening here is not framed as insight, but as embodiment — the moment the heart becomes visible.

Interview & Speaking Topics

  • Awakening through the heart — embodiment, not escape.
  • Emotional honesty — grief, tenderness, joy, and the courage to feel.
  • Presence as home — love not as concept, but lived perception.
  • Creativity as remembrance — language and art as return.
  • Transmission vs. explanation — when a voice carries truth beyond ideas.

How This Work Meets Media

Jane’s work offers a quieter, more human way of speaking about awakening — rooted in lived emotional truth rather than frameworks. Conversations tend to be reflective, honest, and grounded in ordinary life: longing, loss, tenderness, and the grace of being alive.
