Why Read? "Why not?"

Revisado: 01-27-20

A Brightly Guided Life is a diamond in the rough of books available on the trans-personal, mystical, out of body, or near death experience. Dr. Honkala intimately and tenderly shares her NDE by bringing her readers deep into the event itself before transporting them into the visceral struggles, strife, triumph and victory that peppered her life there-after. Her first NDE is described in detail with supple, yet solid sincerity. Her account could rattle the reality of the most staunch non-believer. The NDE acts as catalyst for the unfolding of recognizable phases of human development. Readers experience the world through the eyes of a young girl, teen, and woman who had discovered her ability for extraordinary perception, long before having the capacity to integrate it into her day-to-day life.

We become enamored with Dr. Honkala's tale as we recognize ourselves in her myriad of experiences. Though many readers may be unfamiliar with trans-personal or out-of-body experiences, all readers can related to her vulnerable shares of travel, loss, heartbreak, trauma, achievement, integration and recovery. We jet around the world beside her as she discovers, embraces, rejects, and reclaims guidance of the Divine Spirit that dwells within each of us as us. She tells the story of how our experience is designed to bring us closer to ourselves in a way that is unique and personal. She normalizes the human tendency to become distracted from our essence by happenings of the world and provides hope that we too have the capacity to find our way back home, into the light.

If you have the pleasure of hearing Ms. Honkala read her book aloud, you will delight in her unique inflection on the English language and will find her telling-of-the-tale, a unique experience in and of itself. Whether dictated or read, A Brightly Guided Life is an excellent read for anyone on the path of discovery, learning, awakening, and connection. It is a refreshing reminder that the ability to connect with our inner awareness and higher purpose, awaits within each of us; all we need do, is turn on the light.

Essential Reading for the Seeker

Revisado: 09-25-19

This is the first book I’ve read/listen to from this author. It came to me at a time in my life when it was needed… And the pages of this book explained why that was. I gave 4 stars to the story for the sole reason that some of the ideas presented are a little bit lofty, especially if you were just awakening t
o true consciousness. I gave four stars Only because I had to back up and listen a few times but to be honest, I don’t know if there is a way to explain these concepts in a simpler or more direct way. The author doesn’t excellent job of that. I appreciate the author taking the time to sit and write this work. I appreciate her sharing it with the world. Is the sort of reading we need now more than ever.
