SHIFT HAPPENS, A Laypersons Guide To Awakening, written and illustrated by Gina Charles, is a product of three decades of metaphysical practices and inquiry. It is the ultimate in self-help from a metaphysical perspective. By way of empowering insight and witty illustrations, Charles points to the inner shifts that result in Conscious expansion, that is the next step in human evolution. The key to our best life has been in our back pocket all along. Our happiness is an inside job and it's totally doable. It's so much easier than we think. We are, all of us, capable of Awakening and always seeing the good news. By the same token, by always recognizing the good news, we can Awaken. We don't have to be a spiritual teacher or guru. We don't have to be part of the clergy, a monk or a saint. Awakening is not reserved only for those who dedicate eight hours a day to deep meditation. It's for nurses, farmers, writers, parents, the unemployed, the sick, and the healthy. In it we find the realization we have possessed the ability and choices all along. It is prefaced with the Ah-Ha moment of distinguishing between Consciousness and unconsciousness. We all have the ability to wake up from the dream. The life of our dreams lies in Awakening IN the dream. Let's go.

Gina Charles was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, New York. As a child she experienced lucid dreaming and subsequently, as an adolescent, developed an early interest in spirituality. Having an affinity for design and illustration, she attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and became an apparel designer and illustrator. Eventually the new medium of the digital world lured Charles into graphic art and design. Behind the scenes, she continued to pursue an inward journey. Following inner Guidance resulted in the writing and illustrating of her first book, Shift Happens, A Laypersons Guide To Awakening. The book is a product of three decades of metaphysical practice and inquiry as well as being a precursor to a new and fulfilling direction in life.
