From Ego to Enlightenment. A Spiritual Journey Told in Verse

By Michael Higgins

The poems tell a wonderful story about a man’s struggle with life, his spiritual awakening and coming through a changed man. The raw beauty in Nature and the connectedness of life and the Universe is wonderfully captured throughout the poetry and always is told with a clear mind and a pure heart.
Finding the extraordinary beauty and harmony in the simplest of things, this book is uplifting in essence and will warm your very heart and soul, long after you have finished reading.

Not a self-help guide for enlightenment but rather an experience, a beautiful space to relax, unwind and reflect on life and perhaps provide the food for meditating on those ‘things’ which are truly important to us; Peace, Happiness and Love.

Michael Higgins

Michael Higgins is from Melbourne Australia and currently resides with his beautiful wife Michelle in the idyllic Mackay and Whitsundays region in North Queensland. He is a practising Reiki Master Practitioner, Bowen Therapist, Strategic Hypnotherapist Practitioner and takes meditation classes for those interested in attaining higher levels of consciousness. Having lived a self-confessed life of dramas, problems, addictions and dysfunction, he was profoundly awoken by the wisdom of Eckhart Tolle’s ‘A New Earth’.This sparked a journey into self-discovery and the healing arts, and further along into connecting with Mother Earth, the Universe and Consciousness. This in turn led to helping others to raise their awareness and energy vibrations to enable the planet and humanity to leap into a new era of peace, love and compassion.

Secondly, to my friend and first mentor Trish for guiding me to Mr Tolle. Lastly to Salvatore, Bob and Betty, Helen and Tammy, all of whom, not only introduced me to the amazing, healing and gentle world of Reiki, but are
