When Spirit Whispers: A Journey of Awakening
Open to the love within and heal the toxic effects of trauma, shame, and guilt.
Do you struggle with important decisions? Feel depressed or anxious? Get overwhelmed, with no time to create the life you want?
Help is available and closer than you think. Your inner self is untouched by trauma and judgment. It knows about your fears, what you love, and how your body reacts to daily challenges. And it’s waiting for you.
Learn to partner with your wise inner self and peel away doubt. Stop the second-guessing. Find peace and certainty so you can stop blaming yourself.
If you would like to:
• Say goodbye to self-judgment
• Live with compassion for yourself and others
• Forgive yourself for not being perfect
• Transform negative thought patterns
• Trust your intuition
• Find and live your true purpose
Then my story may speak to you.
My early life was a spiral of self-doubt, anxiety, and anger. I used substances to control my emotions and had a series of relationships with abusive partners. My awakening to spirit came early, but childhood trauma created fear of people and new situations. When I used my intuition to solve problems, the outer world told me I was wrong. Doubt plagued me. I feared that others knew more than I did. What would happen if I made a mistake?
Not until I felt the love of spirit nestling within did I accept the support of the creative energy of the universe. Once my eyes opened, the signs of spirit were everywhere. My Wise Inner Guide showed me that my negative experiences were not my fault. I could change my life. And so can you.
When Spirit Whispers recounts my healing journey. With my words, I hope to encourage you to listen for the voice of your spirit, find your healing path, and infuse your life with meaning and purpose.

The first thing I noted about this book when Carol requested an advance review was the language. It can only be described as beautiful: clear, not an unnecessary word, yet evocative, powerful, lyrical. Also, in the initial sample I read, I was surprised at the close correspondence between her philosophy of life and the universe, and mine.
So, I agreed to review the book, and I am glad I did. We have lived immensely different lives, and yet, time and again I found parallels, as if we were walking side by side up the same mountain path. She got the same joys and insights in an American desert as I gained in an Australian forest. The setting, the life are different; the steps of growth and inspiration are the same.
She has experienced lucid dreams since childhood, and lives within a vivid inner world. In contrast, I have never had a dream in any way related to anything, but got the same support from Spirit (to use Carol’s terminology), the same glimpses of Reality through meditation, self-hypnosis and activities like distance running.
Qualifying “unique” is frowned upon. All the same, this book is the account of an immensely unique life. Nevertheless, as I have shown, Carol on her unique path can lead you on your very different one, to the same place of inner strength, spiritual growth, meaning, purpose.
Without doing a spoiler, I need to mention a very clever thing: the sequence of how Carol’s childhood details are revealed. Given my knowledge of psychology, I noted the multiplicity of symptoms of extreme anxiety, fear of people, dissociative episodes, later OCD, on and on. If I were given such a list about a new client I would suspect very severe childhood trauma. And yet, although she describes her childhood in considerable detail, this trauma is only obliquely alluded to.
The first hint of something much worse comes halfway through the book. Interestingly, this parallels the time course of the recall of repressed memories by many survivors of childhood trauma.
The second half of the book consists of chapters with a single theme, like “Memories,” ‘Dreams,” “Words,” and each ends in a brief lesson on how to progress.
So, this is how Carol has converted a “sample of one” into a teaching tool.
Most people will find this book as inspiring as I have.

This book is really insightful and inspiring. I enjoyed it very much. I found the layout interesting. Part 2 is especially interesting. Part 1 is basically a history, giving you insight into who March is, where she began her journey, and how she developed her insights and gained experience with Spirit, and how she came to a healthier place. Part 2 has poems and other practical tips and statements interspersed between the chapters. I pretty much devoured it in 2 sittings. I think it's a great motivational book, and it's very interesting. For a Mystic, it's even more interesting, cuz I found much to be similar to my own experiences in life. Of course, we're not all alike, but our experiences just often have at least a spark of something that we can relate to in some way or ways. I will be taking her tips with me amd using them to broaden my mind and my connection to God and the broader consciousness around me, and I suspect this will be a repeat read over the years. Looking forward to the upcoming releases in the series!

Have you ever stumbled upon a book that you didn’t know you needed until you opened the cover and fell inside? When Spirit Whispers is such a book for me. I found myself feeling like I had stumbled on Eldorado as I worked my way through each of the chapters. Each chapter took on a separate topic in a way that made me wonder why I hadn’t looked at it from Carol’s perspective. I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, and not a lot of “self-help” type books, but something about the title caused me to ask for a review copy when offered one through StoryOrigin. I’m sure glad I accepted the offer. If you are looking for possible answers to some of life’s questions, give When Sprit Whispers a shot, you may find several gems. I received a review copy of this book from the author through StoryOrigin and chose to provide my review.

A very personal and impactful must-read about surviving and thriving beyond adversity--abuse, trauma, anxiety, and serious health issues to find inner peace and the ability to manage one’s own destiny. Ms. March provides a step-by-step guide for maintaining hope through self-doubt and finding meaning in our lives following past trauma and pain. The book focuses on trusting our own intuition and learning to grow our own resources of inner power, the “wise inner guide.” This is a compelling read for anyone seeking to tap their unique creative force and change their life for the better.

I am on a turbulent spiritual journey this year and I have to say this book couldn’t have come at a better time for me. The stories really resonated with me on so many levels. For instance, the grounding and connecting to nature was what I have been missing. This is a really interesting book with so much practical information. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
Thanks so much for a review copy of this book. I am voluntarily leaving a review of my personal opinion and I am going to purchase it in paperback to leave by my bedside.

I have heard it said that the Spirit talks to us all the time. But who listens?
This book is a tender guide to remind us to listen when Spirit talks to us. Carol March shares her personal journey and the moments Spirit spoke to her. She uses these events to remind us of when and how we can listen to our own Spirit. I found it a gentle and inspiring read. I received an advance copy of this book and I was inspired by it.

A moving story that helped me reflect on my own life. The book provides hope that can be found within.
