This is a story of a magical life. A young girl with introductions to the elite of the ballet world discovers who she is through romantic encounters in Monte Carlo, Florence, London, New York City, and many more glamorous locations. She leaves the world of dance and becomes a fashion editor at one of the top fashion magazines in the world. But her jet-set, celebrity-filled world of fashion does not provide her the happiness she seeks. Through a series of mystical and mysterious events, she awakens to a deeper calling and her true adventure begins.
With twists and turns as sharp as any romance novel, this memoir is part fairy tale, part spiritual primer. Every listener will discover something new about life and about themselves. This is a book to be shared and enjoyed by those seeking the true meaning of their lives. Along the way they will participate in the exciting adventure of unpredictable events taking place in exotic locations across the globe.
Claudia's story is both honest and inspiring, reminding us all of how we can separate ourselves from what's truly important, and sharing with us her extraordinary path back to her natural loving state. I've read it very slowly so as to absorb every morsel of wisdom. Highly recommended for anybody forging a spiritual path.
An unespected discovery and encounter. An unusual book that is in a way an intimate and spiritual biography of the writer. In reading this book the personal experiences become universal, the book has the potential to start to work as an intimate mirror of one owns soul, at least it has this impact on me.
It has the power to touch the reader deeply to go deeper in oneself, silencing the judge within us and just observing how the words, sentences, chapters that are being read effect the in my case the neglected inner worlds. The seperation that can be felt inside is invited to reconnect, strenghtening and deeping the uniqueness of every indivual and the deeper one goes you can feel that it all is connected. That we are not seperated from each other nor from life. The book also reconciled me with the "first ray" the ray of will and power or creation. Somehow I judged this ray as "severe", "not loving", but in Shapeshifter one can feel the strenght, the beauty and the necessity of this ray. And if it is carried within one's heart one can feel it is capable of miracles.
The book the Shapeshifter has the strenght of humbling the reader and empowering one's awareness at the same time, which for me is a big gift, for which I thank the writer Claudio Navone deeply.
This is the first book I have read from Claudia Navone. It was a little difficult for me to follow. The idea is there, I just think it was not delivered in the best format. Still a good read with a lesson.
God knew what I needed and when I would need it. Never in my life would I have thought of picking this book up, but my soul is ever grateful that I did. Thank you for your obedience and dedication to the mission of God!
