In-Between: the Matter of Things: A Book of Essays, Poetry and Photography

By Joann Chan-McKeon

Through powerful personal essays of synchronicity, mystical poetry, and original photographs that map the depth of subtle energies in auras to the drama of the universe, In Between takes you from quantum physics, from the light that guides from within you, weaves you through lifes tapestry, and then flies you through the cosmos. Your soul awakens as you see through the outer lens of science and the inner lens of spiritual vision, opening your mind and heart to put you in touch with other levels of reality

In this book you will discover:

visible elements of the soul

proof of the vital force in all things through Kirlian photography

where spirit meets matter; the place from where we are truly born

how our bodies vibrate the primordial and eternal sound of AUM and its omnipotence with the universe

how DNA moves with spirit and heals

how thoughts activate and create from a dormant field of the space in between

how to elevate your vibrational frequency through synchronicities

the science of crystals and why and how they heal

the truth about the 11:11 phenomenon and the associated synchronicities

Perhaps my favorite mantra is everything is interesting. Chan-McKeons journey through the mystery of spirit, energy, and the power of nature reminds us that 99 percent of that everything dwells in the unseen, where we must go if we want to find it

Michael Burns, New York Open Center

In-Between: The Matter of Things is a work of art that will touch your soul. Through Joann Chan-McKeon's beautiful essays and high-vibrational images, you'll come away with an inspirational new perspective on your relationship to the cosmos and Universe. This book is worthy of a permanent place in the libraries of all spiritual seekers

Introduction

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

There have always been unseen energies that penetrate our visible three dimensional realities. These profound energies in the Universe are hardly seen but can be felt deeply with the heart and soul; some permeates through the Universe, encompassing everything.

Ancient people knew of these energies and recognized them across different cultures. Some are known by many names for their different definition and different attributes.
