Synopsis

"Sojourns of the Soul" differs from other inspirational travel books by providing a rare mix of in-depth wisdom and literary insights from the holistic view of one experienced female traveler. Dana Micucci gives a compelling account of her growing spiritual illumination through visits to some of the most sacred places on earth. Her lively, engaging narrative takes us to seven sites in all: the Australian outback, Angkor in Cambodia, the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, Lhasa in Tibet, Chichen Itza in the Yucatan; the Monastery of Christ in the Desert in New Mexico, and Machu Picchu in Peru.

Micucci links each visit with the awakening of a particular chakra- the chakras being the seven energy centers of the body associated in Hinduism with progressive enlightenment. In the afterword, she reflects on how her experiences continue to shape her life after resuming her career as a journalist in New York City: she finds she is more tolerant, can engage in daily activities with more heart-centered awareness, and can sustain states of joy and gratitude for longer periods of time.

The book will be a page turner for readers who yearn for long-delayed adventure, with the added benefit that it is not just a journey log but more of a seeker's manual; travel is simply the vehicle. Readers will find that they don't have to travel to far-flung places for the spiritual inspiration available in their everyday lives. As Micucci says, "Each day brings new remembrances of our divinity, of the Divine presence in all beings, and of our eternal connection to each other. I am so grateful to be here NOW . . . with you.

Review:

""Sojourns of the Soul" is a rainbow bridge through time and space. Dana Micucci uses her colorful journeys into diverse cultures to learn for herself and teach us, her readers, about the powers of transformation -- and the ecstasy of being fully present in every moment."
--John Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of "Hoodwinked" and "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"

In "Sojourns of the Soul," Dana Micucci delves into the wisdom and spiritual traditions of other cultures. This is a powerful and rich book describing a passionate journey towards wholeness that emphasizes movement beyond fears and judgments. Dana's brilliant prose carries you along as if you were journeying right beside her. This is an important book in a time when the search for meaning is so urgent.
--Sandra Ingerman, author of "Soul Retrieval" and "How to Thrive in Changing Times"

""Sojourns of the Soul" is neither a theoretical tome nor an otherworldly quest; rather, Micucci takes

Reading Dana Micucci's memoir, 'Sojourns of the Soul' was like 'being there too', as she eloquently describes her powerful and evocative life changing experiences at some of the most sacred and ancient energy centers on the planet.
On one hand her story is extremely entertaining. It makes me laugh. It brings tears to my eyes. I see myself more deeply and gain greater clarity of my own journey of the soul through her words. Dana also gives the reader much interesting background information about each of the ancient civilizations she profiles. These people are no more, but they have left their legacy and their messages in stone for us to find and decode.
On a deeper level I am reminded of the timeless nature of my own sojourns of the soul and of the guiding lights within each of us that assist all of us on our eternal journey. I am reminded that faith, love and the trust to follow my own inner light is the generative power that will allow me to create all that I am and all that I have the potential to become, now and forever.

"Buddha may have found enlightenment by simply sitting quietly under a bodhi tree, but journalist/wisdom seeker Dana Micucci describes herself as "a bit of an adventure addict" and, for her own circuitous path to nirvana, compiled a bucket list of seven of the world's must-see spiritual hot spots for her signposts.
