How Peak Spiritual Experiences Transform Lives Today
Dr. Yvonne Kason's life was touched by five Near-Death experiences (NDEs), the most recent in 2003. Her dramatic Near-Death Experience in a 1979 plane crash propelled her as a young medical doctor to research and counsel people with diverse types of peak spiritual experiences. In 1994, she coined the now widely used phrase "Spiritually Transformative Experiences" (STEs). These include Near-Death Experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual energy or kundalini awakenings, diverse psychic experiences, and inspired creativity.
Touched by the Light is a synthesis of forty years of Dr. Kason's research on STEs and their profound after-effects on body, mind, and spirit. Filled with fascinating case studies, Touched By the Light is inspiring to all, as well as a practical guide for those experiencing STEs and their counsellors.

"The synthesis of almost forty years of research on spiritually transformative experiences. Dr. Yvonne Kason's life was touched by five near-death experiences (NDEs), the most recent in 2003. Her dramatic near-death experience in a 1979 plane crash propelled her as a young medical doctor to research and counsel people with diverse types of peak spiritual experiences. In 1994, she coined the phrase "spiritually transformative experiences" (STEs), a term widely used today. These include near-death experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual energy or kundalini awakenings, diverse psychic experiences, and inspired creativity. Touched by the Light is an inspiring and informative synthesis of forty years of STE research, filled with fascinating case studies. Dr. Kason shares her pioneering framework for STEs and describes their often profound after-effects on body, mind, and spirit. She offers a much needed bridge between Western medical understanding and spiritual states of consciousness."-- Provided by publisher.
