Wisdom of the Path (ePub)

“Yasmine has written a book that gently invites us to get curious about our past. We stop calling our experiences mistakes and instead realize those lessons are part of our wisdom encouraging us to keep going. As I've said before, her work is monumental. This is a must read." —Alex Elle, New York Times bestselling author of How We Heal

A roadmap to self-healing and tapping into our inner wisdom when we need it most, from mental wellness advocate, self-healing educator, and author of The Sugar Jar Yasmine Cheyenne.

Life sends us regular reminders that it won't always create a straight line. Whether we're already committed to a healing journey or newly navigating a particular challenge, there isn't a magic pill, checklist, or “simple mantra” that will make everything easy, particularly the road to finding inner wisdom.

In this warm, wise guide, Yasmine Cheyenne expands the conversation about what the healing experience is actually like. The ups and downs of this journey are not often talked about, and many people question themselves or find themselves stalled along the way. But we shouldn't despair.

Cheyenne helps us embrace the realities of personal transformation with her Four Guideposts, which illuminate the path toward healing: Base Camp, Intent, Walk the Talk, and Lessons Learned. Along the way, we learn to:

• Have more patience with ourselves as we struggle
• Gather our tools and our courage in the face of new roads untraveled
• Hold space for every decision we thought would break us
• Review the cartography of our lives and manifest where we want to go
• Embrace that each journey—good and bad—has informed our core wisdom

When we anchor our transformation journey in these four stages, we are reminded that we are moving forward, even when the road is rough. Cheyenne shares deeply heartbreaking and uplifting journeys of her own, from childhood traumas to grief to stories of saying yes to joy to the surprising revelations within solo travel. “When I decided to stop hiding in the shadows of what I'd been through and embrace the hills and rugged terrain of my life," Cheyenne writes, "I saw who I really was and loved her.”

Wisdom of the Path contemplates the challenging seasons of life. Cheyenne gives clarity to the complex journey of self-discovery to help us all reclaim our core, loving selves, repair our wounds, and find peace on the road to healing.
