Touched by the Light: Exploring Spiritually Transformative Experiences
How Peak Spiritual Experiences Transform Lives Today
Dr. Yvonne Kason’s life was touched by five Near-Death experiences (NDEs), the most recent in 2003. Her dramatic Near-Death Experience in a 1979 plane crash propelled her as a young medical doctor to research and counsel people with diverse types of peak spiritual experiences. In 1994, she coined the now widely used phrase “Spiritually Transformative Experiences” (STEs). These include Near-Death Experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual energy or kundalini awakenings, diverse psychic experiences, and inspired creativity.
Touched by the Light is a synthesis of forty years of Dr. Kason's research on STEs and their profound after-effects on body, mind, and spirit. Filled with fascinating case studies, Touched By the Light is inspiring to all, as well as a practical guide for those experiencing STEs and their counsellors.

Just finished this hearty piece of work... personal, professional and mystical angles and loads of insight from the timeless, age-old truths of spirituality.
I loved the thorough exploration of transformation, evolution and the means to get there that did not shy away from the potential challenges involved.
Kason is on the progressive forefront of the merging of western, scientific/ medical research and psycho-spiritual experiences. I commend her for a commitment to her calling--a lifetime clearly meant for helping our advancement as a species and illuminating many compassionately viewed experiences of the realm beyond.

Truly the best book in this category I have ever read.
The author seamlessly weaves personal narrative with case studies from her therapy practice, to gift the reader with stories of many different spiritually transformative experiences.
I particularly loved how she wove yogic philosophy, modern psychotherapy and mystical experiences all together.
I’ve raved about this to many many people the last week. Key expression “it’s truly holistic”!
Thank god for this book. And thanks to the author, it came to me at the exact right time. 10/10 do recommend.
