Tuning in the Vibrations of Life

The seven short stories in SEVEN MOVEMENTS ONE SONG take the reader on a journey through seven remarkable experiences in one woman's life. Each story stands alone, yet all are inextricably intertwined as they poetically describe how each of the seven chakras -- the primary essential energetic centers of the body -- resonate with one unique set of feelings, sensations, and desires. From root chakra issues of birth, death and survival all the way up to the crown chakra's desire to merge with Source, each story vibrates with a distinct and memorable intensity. SEVEN MOVEMENTS ONE SONG surpassed my expectation of being a well-crafted series of memoirs, as it evoked powerful emotional resonance within me right from the start.
