ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Mostly, creating a book feels like sitting on your own in a room with your thoughts. However, it is who and what influences those thoughts, who gives you the love and space to put them to paper, and who gives you the breaks to get them published. All of these people and their energy are with you in the birth of a book.

So with gratitude to all of those lifelong accumulating insights given in random ways, but in more direct ways I would like to thank:

Cat Knott for her unwavering support and friendship. My family, Cohort Y; the tutors and faculty at the California Institute of Internal Studies; Will Swift, Alexia Marcou, Heena Prajapat, Mark Sherwood, Syd Martin, Anna Bullard, Linda Chard, Liz Dean, Jo Sharp, Samantha Kelly, Briana Le Bold, Marlo McKenzie, Kate Orr, and John Purkiss. Everyone at Hay House, including Michelle Pilley, Sandy Draper, and Jo Burgess.
