This book is a case study of how anyone can harness the power of perspective, inner wisdom, and human spirit to transform any situation into a blessing and stepping stone toward a rich and fulfilling life, in a matter of seconds. Victoria Vives, shamanic practitioner, healer, teacher, writer, and international speaker, presents us with a relatable guide to the life of your dreams in autobiographical format. She shares how she overcame impossible challenges from her past such as near-death experiences, poverty, psychosis, spiritual awakening, racism, and so much more with concrete, repeatable strategies, and wisdom gained from self reflection, mentors, and inner guidance. Life is an infinitely complex journey of experiences, dictated by our inner world, our external environment, the decisions we make and actions we take. In a Matter of Seconds is both compass and road map designed to help navigate difficult times and live up to our greatest potential.
