Rebirth of a Sage
by Lani Gonzales
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Spirituality / Self Help / Memoir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOOK BLURB:
A TRANSFORMATIONAL MEMOIR OF LOVE AND LIGHT.
In Lani Gonzales' intimate self-help debut, Rebirth of a Sage, readers meet the woman she was when she discovered ayahuasca and commenced her journey toward spiritual rejuvenation. Panicked, fearful, and drained, she hoped for an escape for both her and the lonely little girl she'd buried inside. Guided by the Shamans and supported by friends she made along the way, her cleanse progressed one ceremony at a time, culminating in a state of pure spiritual refinement.
Through eleven soul-stirring chapters enriched with enlightenment and healing, readers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions as they journey with Lani. A heartwarming chronicle ensues, traversing the blissful highs and devastating lows she faced along her way to rebirth. Unburying her darkest demons, she inspires us to do the same, gradually weaving threads of transformation and encouraging us to reconnect and reignite the divine flame within our souls.

EXCERPT THREE:
My chronic illnesses, uncurable by doctors, had vanished. My allergies dissipated. I started and ended each day with meditation and gratitude instead of a handful of medications. My body knew exactly how to heal itself. After decades of relying on doctors who medicated my symptoms, I learned to trust my body, and it finally found the cure.

GUEST POST:
What is Your Favorite Motivational Phrase and How Do You Apply it to Your Writings, Life, etc.?
My favorite phrase is, “Human being, not human doing.” As a child, my parents only gave me praise and attention when I accomplished something: I got a good grade, I cleaned the house, I won an award, etc. Based on this blueprint, I subconsciously believed that my worth was based on my accomplishments. I subconsciously believed that love needed to be earned.
Following this blueprint, I labored tirelessly until I accomplished all of my goals. I became a lawyer at 23. I became a homeowner. I completed marathons and triathlons. Despite my achievements, I still felt empty. Believing that love was something to be earned, I found myself in romantic relationships with people who cared for me conditionally. I found myself entangled in relationships where I gave more than I received.
Through my spiritual journey and experience with ayahuasca, I learned that our value is not derived by doing but simply by being. The tenants of Christianity state that we are made in God’s image. A Hindu legend tells the story of Brahma hiding divinity deep within each human being. Through science, we discovered that we are made of stardust. Despite the varying ideologies, we can find a universal truth: we are born worthy exactly as we are.
Once I unburied my repressed traumas, I learned to spend less effort “doing” and surrender to simply "being." My first book, Rebirth of a Sage tells the story of how I learned to find self-love and worth simply by being.
