Living from the Centre Within

Michele Rae is a transformational coach trained in a wide range of disciplines who was also a minister. In this book she synthesises many aspects of neuroscience, mind-body science and consciousness studies into an evolutionary path of co-creation, living from the calm centre within. She distinguishes three main levels of consciousness: I am Individual, I am Interconnected and I am Infinite. This also provides the progressive structure of the book as a journey from our present condition of consciousness to a more illuminated state. Each chapter contains an invitation to practice along with some questions for reflection. The author has a good grasp of the key qualities of the old and emerging paradigms (see diagram on page 24). Readers must first accept the invitation to the transformational journey with its accompanying practices - including nonviolent communication - and expanded self-awareness. The author provides useful summaries of the three states in terms of qualities and leadership style. The book is accessible, informed and practical.
