Synopsis

Roisin Fitzpatrick was in the midst of suffering a life-threatening brain haemorrhage when she felt herself being drawn out of her body and enveloped in a radiant light. There, in a blissful vision of the afterlife, she experienced the most powerful transformation of her life.

Her discovery - that 'Heaven' lies within each of us, that we are pure love and always at one with the eternal light - changed the course of her world. Roisin went on to make a full recovery by integrating this newfound love and light into her daily existence.

In this ground-breaking book, she takes the reader on that remarkable journey, describing her path of living in harmony with the now. Roisin seamlessly weaves her near-death experience (NDE) with the eternal light - solas siorai - of our ancient Irish myths and monuments, shining a light on our past, present and future. She shows how we can all connect with this light to enhance our daily lives, and develop a deeper connection to a sense of peace and unity beyond the physical realm.

About this title

Review:

"A remarkable book that is unique in the annals of near-death experiences. Experiences like Róisín's have now been validated by hundreds of scientific studies around the world, and provide evidence that consciousness is more than the brain and indeed that we are more than our bodies. As a guide to enhancing your own spirituality, this is a love story in the most sublime sense."
Dr. Bruce Greyson, co-editor of The Handbook of Near Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation

"A book of wise words that will introduce some people to the light, will draw others back to the light, and will itself long shine light in all sorts of unforeseeable and beautiful ways. A brilliant book with an unforgettable message."
Dr. Christine Ranck, co-author of bestselling book Ignite the Genius Within

"I approached Taking Heaven Lightly with my usual academic scepticism, but the clear, sincere, even humorous, style, attracted me and I was drawn in. I remembered that early Irish Christianity is bathed in light. I think Ms. Fitzpatrick's rehabilitation of pre-Christian Irish spirituality of light is excellent. Suaimhneas síoraí "eternal rest" and solas na bhflaitheas "the light of heaven" are two phrases that similarly share the wisdom and beauty of our heritage. I look forward to the author's next inspirational book"
Dr. Tadhg O' Dushlaine, Head of Department for the Centre for Irish Cultural Heritage, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

"An insightful and in depth look into what lies beyond our physical realm. A must read."Sean Mahon, actor in the movie Philomena and former leading actor in the 39 Steps on Broadway
