The Inner Connection: A Spiritual Journey of Self-Discovery and Emotional Freedom, One Day at a Time

by Darlene Dawn

Are you searching for your Higher Power? Do you embrace spiritual ideals that are difficult to attain or maintain? If so, this book is for you! After over twenty-five years in recovery, Darlene Dawn understands what it takes to build a new life after addiction. Dawn is neither a guru nor an expert, but as someone who understands the necessity of maintaining your spiritual condition, she has decided to share her story. With help, she rose up from the depths of active addiction to ascend to the heights of her new life in recovery. She's doing it, and so can you. Dawn details the mental and emotional shifts she experienced following a spontaneous out-of-body experience (Obe) when she was nine years clean and sober. Her Obe provided the impetus for spiritual and metaphysical study, the practical application of which is outlined in this book. Inspired by A Course in Miracles, Dawn developed a friendship with an intuitive who communicated with a nonphysical being of Light. During these life-changing sessions, Dawn acted as record keeper as this thought-provoking, nonphysical teacher radiated a powerful, loving energy and answered questions that enhanced Dawn's spiritual understanding. The Inner Connection is written as a guide to help you find your own answers; it is not meant to be the source of them. The author's personal experience, combined with lessons from a being of Light, makes The Inner Connection a primer for anyone who wishes to develop emotional freedom through spiritual growth.

About the author

After retiring from the corporate world of real estate association management, I finally found the time and energy to write. Besides writing, I enjoy playing music as part of a quartet, including guitar, flute, autoharp, African drums, and vocals. We facilitate group experiences of prayer and positive intentions set to music that have been known (so I’m told) to joyfully open hearts with music.

Being quite ordinary, I certainly don’t see myself as any type of guru! I’m just another person on the path of spiritual growth who has been lifted up from the depths of despair and active addiction to the heights of clean and sober living in recovery. Many, many amazing people have assisted me on this journey, for whom I will be eternally grateful. My intent is to pay it forward with this book.

My husband and I reside in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, with our dog, a lively Jack Russell terrier mix. We both have adult children from previous marriages who have blessed us with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Reviews

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

In The Inner Connection, the author shares her own story with addiction and her recovery. Her recovery was aided by the twelve step program, and she was greatly affected and helped by growing and strengthening her spiritual condition. She writes to show what steps and avenues helped her, and to inspire the same pursuit in spiritual growth in others going through similar circumstances. She took her own unique path, including using spiritual contacts, and has found a far deeper understanding of herself and her belief and approach to life.

I liked how the author was both offering information on what helped her on her path to recovery and becoming a stronger more spiritual person, but also remains positive and encouraging to the reader throughout the book. She freely admits that what she has done and found strength in may not work for everyone, and in her honesty and encouragement I think her message is all the more helpful and meaningful. She helps provide a wonderful frame of mind and thoughtful advice that I think all readers can use to help be more mindful and emotionally healthy.
