    About this ebook

    Songs of Light and Dark is a poetic exploration of the contradictory journey of the soul in search of itself. How can we transcend the mundane if our longing for truth is veiled time and again by shadows of sadness and regret? And yet, behind a spiritual seeker's yearning for the Self lies the inexorable clarity that there is nothing but the Self orchestrating our existence.

    In the same manner that our eyes need to adjust when going from the light into darkness and from darkness into the light, these poems reflect the unfolding transparency of spiritual experience.

    Yol Swan

    YOL SWAN is a spiritual teacher, author, and coach with studies in English literature, music, and clinical homeopathy. Growing up in an intellectual family, she intuitively rejected any and all forms of religion from a very young age; but she perceived life as energy and always felt guided from within.She awakened to the Divine in her late twenties while spending a few years in almost complete isolation to better understand herself. Then she built a solid spiritual foundation with the personal guidance of enlightened masters from both Buddhist and Hindu traditions, which eventually led her to the path of nondualism or Self-knowledge (jnana yoga) she now teaches.With more than thirty years of experience exploring the mind through psychology, spirituality, yoga philosophy, and Advaita Vedanta, she helps people around the world implement the Swan Method to gain emotional and spiritual freedom by comprehending the meaning of their life and the true nature of reality. She lives in Western North Carolina, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains.You can contact her for speaking engagements through any of her websites or social media:Yol Swan Link Tree - https://linktr.ee/yolswan

      About The Author

      Also By Yol Swan

      To all my spiritual teachers, in both physical and non-physical form, for they have nudged and guided me to seek what lies beyond the illusions of this world.

      When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. The world is ruled by letting things take their course.

      It cannot be ruled by interfering.

      —Tao Te Ching

      God's Experience

      You have been hiding,

      weaving the web of the world,

      since the beginning of time

      in search of your own eternity.
