From a fairly young age Mary-Clare Carder has had mystical encounters with the spiritual world. In her late twenties she developed Sjogren syndrome – a painful, incurable condition which blunted her career and made her life very challenging. This challenging life led her to a deeper spiritual path and an enriched interior life. Along the way she learned about the wisdom of silence, a form of meditation known as centering prayer, energy healing, and has after death communications (ADCs). There are also many wisdom-filled quotes from a host of people who have inspired her during her life. All these things have been a pool of wisdom for her. Mary-Clare intends the book to offer help and support not just to those who face many challenges in life but to everyone. It is her greatest hope that by reading this book people will be more present to the wonders of their own inner life. She invites the reader to plunge in to this pool of wisdom – it is her joy to share.
