Holistic Eye Care — Enlivening Consciousness— More reasons to #govegan #amreading

I thought I’d post this week about a very interesting book I found on holistic eye care titled Enlivening Consciousness. The book is reviewed below for You Tube and below that is the text of the review. Enjoy!

Janet’s Quotes

“In a world of watered-down bestsellers and formula novels, Hitching to Nirvana eases back just enough to show the blade which cuts the real open, then bolts forward again, giving us a charged, swerving dance to self-actualization. Hitching to Nirvana is a magnetic forcefield, not just pulling us beautifully into the story, but into our own lives. It's rare when a writer can open the shared world with such a deft, personal touch. Janet Mason is a genius.”
― CAConrad, The Book of Frank
