Bridging the Paradigms is participating in a blog tour to promote a little gem of a book called Pearls of Wisdom: 30 Inspirational Ideas to Live Your Best Life Now! It includes brief, gratifying essays from inspiring people like Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff, Janet Bray Attwood, and Chris Attwood, all well-known self-help writers and speakers. I will post a review of the book on April 30.

Today, I’d like to introduce Asia Voight, whose essay is “Trust Your Body’s Intuition.” Asia is an internationally known intuitive, animal communicator, teacher, and author, and I’m pleased and honored to interview her. Bridging the Paradigms is about creating community with all life, and it is wonderful to be able to feature other intuitives.

Asia writes about the aftermath of a fiery car crash. The doctors said her legs were paralyzed, and that she would never walk again, but Asia took the intuitive route: she asked her spirit guides and all her allies in nature to help her. She writes here about the experience of a guide coming to her and teaching her how to find the “pause,” or the distinct space between each breath, the place where she would meet the divine and find out if she would walk again.

Asia concentrated, remembering learning to jump rope as a child, and how she had to find the rhythmic place in the rope’s swing, the “opening” that would allow her to sync up with the rope. She did that, and found the “great spaciousness within and without …in the gap between breaths, the pause between words.” In that space she decided that she would walk again, and despite her doctors’ skepticism, she did.

Asia’s story is inspiring, her message important to all of us in our busy, stressed lives. Find the space between breaths, the place where we meet the infinite, and find “universal wisdom.” Trust your intuition.

Now, meet Asia Voight in our interview.

Watch for Asia on the big screen, as her powerful story of fire and transformation will be highlighted in a full-length movie, entitled Face2Face.

Our Interview: 

Q: What do you think makes this book unique and who would want to read it?

Asia: Pearls of Wisdom is for the new breed of humans on the transformational path. They desire tips, insights, and inspiration for moving out of the confined limits of their minds and belief systems. This book is like an awakening spiritual retreat with 30 amazing speakers, but packed neatly into an easy to read and carry with you bundle.

Q:  What kind of wisdom do you have to offer the reader?

Asia: Follow your soul’s path: your life or your ability to walk could depend on it. Don’t believe even an “expert” if it’s not right for you. I give the readers hope that it is possible for anyone to be able to find and connect with their Intuitive Guides or the Universal Wisdom, thereby leading them on their true path even in the face of a crisis.

Q: The publisher promises that the authors such as yourself are “up and coming” leaders in self-help.  How does the publisher know this and what is your expertise in “self-help”?

Asia: I’ve been “self-helping” myself first! I broke free from a confined and fearful Christian upbringing, a homophobic abandoning family, and healed myself from being paralyzed after a life-threatening burn from a car accident. I have then assisted over 60,000 animals and people in “living their best lives” by clearing blocks to their greatness and giving them love, listening and support when no one else would.

Q: Most people know about Jack Canfield from the Chicken Soup books and Marci Shimoff from her Happy book. How would you like your readers to think of you?  What is your “signature niche”?

Asia: I would like others to think, “She endured the huge loss of her family, her changed body and yet her light shines brighter than ever. She was not defeated, but grew stronger. I can do that, too.”

I’m looking for the readers who are ready to take the “defeats”  and “challenges” of their lives and turn them into powerful activating blessings. And if they feel alone, how to connect with their spiritual family and walk through life feeling un-ending support.

Q: What is your most central and compelling “pearl of wisdom”?

Asia: Death, paralysis, fire, and abandonment “losses” are losses that most people are sure will destroy them. However, they can truly be “harvested” into pearls and allow you to live your best life!

Q: How can our readers/listeners find you?

Asia: My website at Asia Voight. I also have a new radio show: “The Animal Code with Asia Voight” on the Awakening Zone.

To our readers: Thanks to Asia Voight for sharing her insight and her passion for her work. You can also find the book at the Pearls of Wisdom blog tour website.

Please check out these inspiring writers. You’ll be glad you did.
