Spirit Guides...Psychics...Mediums...Past Lives... Is this stuff for real? The author takes you along on her own journey of discovery. Janne regared her "psychic assaults" as a curse, not a blessing. They were unbidden, at times disturbing, always unsettling, and certainly, not understood. Years of fear and avoidance proved to be no solution. Explanations from mainstream churches did not provide answers. Attempting to ignore them did not make them stop. Janne had a choice: continue as she had, powerless over these "psychic invasions," or confront them and gain control. "I believe there are others who may read this book, who right now are struggling to reconcile their own pre-held beliefs with what they are beginning to suspect may be true. I believe it is for these, that this book has been written." Much of "Awaken Me Gently," has been drawn from journals Janne kept as she weaved a way through her scepticism, traditional thinking and upbringing. It was a path that led her to embrace an illuminating other world and a greater spiritual awareness.
