About The Book

This book was born in the professional and recovery experiences of the author. Her approach is not an in-depth academic study but is primarily intended to share ideas from practical applications in life situations. Science, academic training, and theoretical best practices are given reality in the flesh and blood, sweat and tears, laughter, love and hard knocks of life. In the end, current science and technology cannot dissect or fully explain either our human bodies or our minds and spirits.Life and recovery are a journey of self-discovery, change, and life-long learning. A Spiritual Awakening is an invitation to engage in this process of discovery and becoming fully human by developing and using our uniquely human intellect and relational spirituality of the neocortex functions of love, compassion, interdependence, mutual respect, and capacity for problem solving in companionship and collaboration with one another.
