My guest Professor Mia Leijssen talks about the circumstances that led to her new book, Connecting with your Essence. A Path to Awareness and Healing. “At birth you are completely your pure self. The ability you then have to let your essence shine through your outer form gradually becomes overshadowed and buried … This book encourages you to get back on track with your essence. “ Mia talks movingly of the physical pain of illness and how that opened up a profound new awareness of life and its relation to the natural cycles around us. We talk about how helpful it was to find a Focusing partner who shared these physical challenges. She relates human psychological development to the given elements of air, water, fire and earth, and we discuss how this awareness connects us to the mystery of life and human meaning.
