Encounters with Living Language: Surrendering to the Power of Words

Multiple Award Winner! Nautilus Book Awards for 2024: A Silver award for the World-Cultures’ Transformational Growth & Development category, and Finalist, IBPA Indie Books. Encounters with Living Language: Surrendering to the Power of Words chronicles a series of illuminations occasioned by language and its deeper function in human awakening. Drawing from her experiences of ninety-two language illuminations and the subsequent changes in the structure and quality of her awareness, Christina reveals the unfolding of a transfiguration in perception through the embodiment of language. As sensory impressions of the spoken or written word deepened within her, thought gave way to direct perception, inner sensations yielded to a feeling of universal participation, and a level of awareness far beyond normal was revealed. No longer was there a self separate from other; as well, infinity and eternity had become physical realities. Encounters with Living Language provides a riveting account of these discoveries and an invitation for readers to welcome an embodied experience with living language and explore the dormant places within them still waiting to awaken. It is a hymn of love during these dark times, promising that through the metamorphosis ignited by words a new world is emerging quietly, unobtrusively, reconnecting human consciousness to the whole of life. Encounters with Living Language: Surrendering to the Power of Words is recognized as a Finalist for the New Generation Indie Book Awards in the Inspiration category!
