My friend and fellow blogger, Robin Easton of Naked in Eden, has just released her first book, “Naked in Eden: My Adventure and Awakening in the Australian Rainforest”. It is with great honor and pleasure that her publicist sent me a review copy.

This is one book you won’t be able to put down. Through Robin’s engaging storytelling you will be drawn into the wild and magical Australian rainforest, a place so alive; it’s contagious.

One of the currents that flow through Robin’s book is the interconnectedness of all life; humans, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, plants, rocks, Mother Earth… Robin and I have never met in person but I have always felt “connected” with her, as though we have always known each other. I feel that it is important for us to recognize our importance in the web of life. We are all interconnected and part of life’s balance. The way to get back to our natural intelligence is by removing all of society’s stories that we have adopted as “truth” and creating our own truths through personal experience. Robin shares this journey with her readers. Reading “Naked in Eden” has made me feel more empowered. Her openness and honesty in sharing her life is very refreshing. Her writing style allows us to see and feel through another’s eyes; to feel comfortable to see our Self within a new light.

We are all connected; we all share the same fears, dreams, challenges, hopes, passions and loves yet we have been conditioned to hide our true, authentic Self.

Naked in Eden is a heartfelt story of healing by remembering who we are through the courage of embracing change, facing our fears and learning to trust in the Universe and our deepest Self. The path to discovering wholeness and freedom.

You are not alone, Robin. You never were. Fear thrives where this is little understanding and no true wisdom. You do not need to die. You can choose life. Part of your destiny is to face this forest with your eyes and heart open. Soul and destiny are closely linked. If you dare to take risks, dare to let you soul journey into unknown depths, you will encounter your deepest, most authentic self. You will live your destiny. Therein lie dreams you cannot yet imagine.”

Following Robin’s blog for the last couple of years, Naked in Eden, and now her book has truly made a difference in my life. Her writings and emails have reawakened passions and dreams within me, fostered inspiration, caused tears of joy and healing as well as laughter, and deepened my connection with my Self and Nature.
