Guided: Journey into the Unknown to Awaken the Soul and Live in Truth chronicles the profound transition of Siri K. Zemel, PhD, from a deeply rational healthcare executive to a spiritual channeler. This debut book reveals an unexpected passage from fragmentation to wholeness. Through astonishing channeled communications and a generous dose of vulnerability, Zemel illuminates the striking dance between empirical reality and the enigmatic experience of anomalous spiritual phenomena.
