If you are seeking a story of spiritual awakening, personal growth, and the courage to embrace your true self, this book is for you. C. Ayla Joyce Matheson's arrival on Earth was driven by a purpose: to learn profound lessons and contribute to raising the planet's vibration. Born into a family with deep religious roots-the daughter of an Episcopal priest and raised as a missionary child-her path was set against a backdrop of spiritual inquiry. From a young age, she questioned traditional religious concepts, delving into the mysteries of love, healing, and suffering. At 33, a mysterious illness triggered a near-death experience, unlocking long-buried memories and setting her on a transformative spiritual journey. This led her away from the familiar tenets of her childhood church and toward the exploration of indigenous practices. In discovering her own indigenous heritage, Ayla recognized herself as a creative and inspired soul with a distinct purpose. However, this realization was coupled with a struggle: a lack of self-love and emotional intelligence led to periods of self-loathing and personal setbacks.A pivotal moment arrived with a mystical kundalini awakening. Unexpectedly, Ayla began painting, finding it to be a powerful outlet for releasing painful memories and facilitating healing. Ultimately, she chose to share her story openly with her family, extending a compassionate hand in an effort to heal long-standing family dysfunction. This journey culminated in her becoming a Transformational Facilitation Artist/guide, dedicating herself to supporting others on their own paths of self-discovery.
