Light Is the New Black: A Guide to Answering Your Soul's Callings and Working Your Light

by Rebecca Campbell

Overview

Awaken to your potential, connect with the callings your soul and light up the world with your presence. 
 
Your inner light is your soul and it is guiding you every moment of every day. Light Is the New Black is a guidebook for those who agreed to be here at this time in history to answer the call of their soul and work their light. 
 
This soulful, encouraging book will guide you to hear the callings of your soul, so you can light up the world with your presence.
 
Rebecca Campbell had her first awakening when she was a teenager, but without anyone to guide her, she ignored her soul's callings and dimmed her light in order to fit in. Then, just before her 30th birthday, the life she had so consciously created began to crumble around her. It was as if the Universe had turned off all the lights, so she had no choice but to rediscover her own.
 
In this book, Rebecca shares her own journey, alongside practical tools to help you reconnect with the core of your being and channelled messages from the Universe. Once you rediscover what you already know at soul level, you can create a life that is in alignment, discover your soul gifts and offer the world something that only you can give.
