    SUCH an incredible book! I loved so much about this book I'm not sure where to begin. First, the author is so informative and clearly has a strong background and talent in the field of reiki. Second, she wrote very clearly and concisely, which I appreciate because I'm not well-versed and am quite new the world of reiki. Her book was easy to follow and entertaining. Third, I so very much enjoyed the stories that came from other people going through their own awakenings. That was so helpful and such a page-turner. Fourth, and most importantly, it completely explained what I'm feeling and why and that by far was the best thing about this book. I FINALLY have a REAL understanding of what in the world is going on with me at this point in my life. I wasn't seeking an awakening, I had no idea I was on the precipice of an awakening and I had no idea why I was having the emotions and such a feeling of being lost. I now know that I am in the midst of my own awakening and having a guide to help me through that has been absolutely priceless. It's a wonderful, uplifting and hopeful read and I highly recommend this to anyone that is feeling a bit lost in their lives. You just might be going through an awakening of your own and if you are, you definitely need this book. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A spiritually empowering guidebook
    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2018

    Sometimes the perfect book comes along just when you need it. Unexpected Awakenings is that kind of book. I love it for how beautifully and clearly it describes what an awakening can look like and how to work through personal challenges while gaining a deeper understanding of your self and your life. It's very spiritually empowering.

    The biggest section of the book has personal stories told in the voices of the women who experienced them. Each one is about the kinds of challenges we all face and how working through them brings more meaning and connection to our life. I was both moved and fascinated by these. They show how different the awakening experience can be for everyone.

    I recommend this as a confident and compassionate guide with tools and information that really help when you're confronted with a crisis or just feel chronically out of sorts. I think we've all been there and it's comforting to be guided by someone with a deep understanding of the process.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Look closely, you may have friends in crisis that need help.

    I bought this book when it came out because I'm a fan of the author, Sharna Langlais. I started reading it and was moved by the profound wisdom of Sharna'd words and the heartfelt stories from the contributors. About a week into it, something terribly sad happened-- a dear friend of mine attempted suicide. Luckily, he was saved and spent a week in the hospital on suicide watch. I found myself paraphrasing Sharna's words to him. How could I not see that he was in crisis? I'm glad he's got a strong support network and has professional help. I sent him a copy of this book and hope that he finds solace knowing he's not alone. Others have walked in his shoes and come out the other side, stronger. Buy this book, read it, then send it to someone you care about.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018

    I wasn't exactly sure of what the book would be about, but was pleasantly surprised. Sharna eloquently breaches sensitive topics in a professional and personal manner. She conveys her vast experience, insight, and training, in a manner which feels close to having a conversation directly with her, as she guides you through difficult subject matter.
    The experiences related by the contributors were so personal, poignant, and relate-able. Parts of some of their experiences felt so familiar, it was comforting to know that certain circumstances have a universality to them. There was relief in just reading of a shared, or similar happening.
    I highly recommend this for anyone to read, regardless of their position on their path, or personal awareness. It will help with your own growth through thoughtfully written insights.

    5.0 out of 5 stars You are never alone in your journey!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018

    This book helped remind me that I am certainly not alone in my journey through life. The stories told within come from the heart and pen of those who lived them, and they're all reminders of what life can throw at us, but more importantly, how we react and how that plays into creating our best self. The author's own words and steps / outline / resources are also very helpful and have led me to totally recreate my life into one of happiness and expression. I would recommend this book to anyone who's on their own journey, regardless of what stage or level they're on, or anyone who needs a gentle reminder that they're not alone and that life can truly get better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and inspiring stories!!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018

    Hi Sharna 💜 Your book is amazing! One of the stories made me cry; the second story called 'Courage', on pages 60-62. It's all beautiful and even sometimes still is in the darkness of hours. And a paragraph, about the Inner Voice, on page 157 I found beneficial to take note of. 🙏🏼 I'm going to do my best to begin journaling. I'm so great at taking notes from other books that spark something in me. However, I tend to struggle with the logic and expression of cultivating my own words at times.

    Thank you, as well as to those whom participated, in sharing the awakening process. I feel like I've gone through multiple unexpected awakenings within the last 5+ years 😊

    I enjoyed every page of this easy to read book. The author provides both scientific and spiritual explanation around the changes that take place in our lives that lead us down a completely different path than expected. Her approach and desire to assist others going through a spiritual awakening is pure, caring and helpful. When someone is searching for answers, they generally feel alone. This book allows the reader to know they are everything but alone and that there is peace on the other side of trauma. The questions and confusion surrounding one person have surrounded many others. The stories within this book are both stunning and inspiring! Highly recommended!
