This one-on-one interview shares Dr. Donna Marks’ background and experience writing The Healing Moment: 7 Paths that Turn Messes into Miracles of Love.
Tell us about The Healing Moment: 7 Paths that Turn Messes into Miracles of Love.
A healing moment occurs when you decide to flip your internal switch and finally let light flood into your consciousness. So, instead of living life as a victim or being controlled by someone or something else, you take back control and recognize that you are enough.
The book introduces readers to 7 keys: the voice of love, control, trust, forgiveness, respect, abundance and self-love. These keys are designed to help readers turn negative experiences and mistakes into meaning and purpose so that triggers like a lack of love, respect or trust can be transformed by understanding how the mind uses our own fear to manipulate our lives.
By combining practical self-reflection questions, psychology, personal experience, and applications from A Course in Miracles, the book teaches readers how to use their trauma and pain as the doorway to enlightenment and happiness.
Every person holds the power within themselves to create a life of success and joy. This book provides the tools needed to harness one’s inner guidance and ultimately, transform (perceived) failures into success.
What inspired you to write The Healing Moment: 7 Paths that Turn Messes into Miracles of Love?
As a child, I felt a connection to a spiritual source. But, as life became increasingly and overwhelmingly painful, I replaced that source of comfort with addiction.
My life was difficult and although I was able to achieve a great deal of success, I was always left searching for something I couldn’t find. In my journey of recovery, I searched the world over, studied many religions, and learned from many so-called spiritual masters. But I couldn’t fully break my patterns. I finally hit bottom.
One night in a moment of desperation, a miracle happened.
I realized that it wasn’t people or God that didn’t love me, I didn’t love myself. Thus, began the beginning of a new journey of learning what love was and how to apply it to my life. This also brought me back to the same connection I’d felt since the age of five — the one right inside of me.
What is one message you would like readers to remember?
My deepest desire is that we as humans, find our way back to our birthright of happiness and joy.
You are a gift to this world with a unique mission and purpose, and no one or nothing outside of you can bring you greater joy than fulfilling your life’s purpose.
Once you realize that everything that has happened in your life has happened to help you achieve this mission, you can transform into the person you were meant to be and everything will fall into place.
