Holy Here Wholy You: Discovering Your Authentic Self

Kim Lincoln has written a beautiful, soulful book that illuminates her inner journey into essence, the gift of inner life beyond price, the “unconditional plenitude of benevolent grace.”With a clarity born of years of teaching and her own deep experience, she guides the reader through simple but profound exercises that clear away the wilderness of mental conditioning so that we, too, can connect with the healer within, the presence of the inner spirit.This is no mere self-help book. It is new light in the age-old journey of the soul as it sheds the obdurate shell of ego and surrenders to the truth.

This book is beautifully written, well researched, easy to understand and invites the reader to take initial steps in their transformation into their Essential Self. Kim Lincoln skillfully begins the process of navigating us through the journey to wholeness she has, over decades, perfected. As a student of Kim's, this reader's life has been enriched beyond words. There is much gratitude resonating in my Being!

I felt pulled into Kim Lincoln's well-researched spiritual journey that popped with personal examples from her fascinating life story. Amidst all that, she provides practical exercises for connecting with our true self.

This is a rich tapestry of a book - part autobiography, part spiritual guide, part practical recipes for self-healing. I've read this book three times . . . and I'm not done!Kim Lincoln is a teacher, a coach, a therapist and spirit guide. She is a midwife of the soul. Kim starts off her book by relating her own personal journey, describing the traumatic events of childhood, her struggles as a young adult to recognize her vulnerabilities, her exploration of various therapies, her pursuit of an ancient, spiritual path, to her eventual emergence into acceptance and grace. Throughout this personal story, she weaves in practical exercises and methods for self-healing. Most of all, she offers hope by leveraging the challenges of her own life to show the reader that it is possible to heal from life's traumas and then soar beyond them.Kim's methods share many commonalities with current trauma therapies - in particular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Like CBT, she stresses the need to cultivate a willingness to witness our suffering without judgment and with an open, compassionate heart. This willingness to witness can lead to profound acceptance and gratitude - in other words, to deep, lasting healing.Be forewarned that this is a challenging book. It is dense and rich and full and . . . deeply rewarding. I recommend this book for anyone who is struggling to understand and reconcile with their own suffering AND are willing to risk radical change to fully embrace life.

Holy Here Wholy You is Kim's guidebook for a better life. I have known Kim for fourteen years and my life has opened and expanded through the experience of studying in her school, attending workshops, public meetings and private sessions. This book is an easily accessible account of Kim's personal journey, a kaleidoscopic view of the many spiritual threads that have been her teachers and some great exercises for your path toward your authentic self. Holy Here Wholy You is an invitation to dive into Kim's work and come up smiling.

This is a book to be read and reread. Kept at hand for the tough times when vulnerability reaches in to pull me inside out. This handbook gives sage advice from the author's personal insight balanced with years of study and teaching to lead a path through trauma by using presence, asking and listening. From my reading the goal is a more authentic and joyful experience following trauma which can disassociate us from feeling or lock us into a negative state. Love the information and trying the exercises. Lots of content, this is on my nightstand for careful, repeated study.

Kim Lincoln is a gifted healer, I have worked with her, and in this book she describes the processes by which trauma can be healed. She uses her own story as an example, and it's an incredible one. I appreciate that she uses down to earth and practical terms as she leads us to discover how we can move beyond our wounds and into our essential self. I love reading it and feeling her loving heart come thru the words. Very eloquent and lyrical writing.

Kim's book, Holy Here Wholy You, shares essential communication exercises connecting the body, mind and soul information centers. These practices help me soften into a gentle awareness of my state of being and my truth. I now sense greater ease and joy in my daily living.
