“Yvonne Kason, a noted Canadian physician and a multiple near-death experiencer, has written one of the great spiritual autobiographies of our time in chronicling her journey from a childhood NDE to becoming a modern mystic and an illumined soul. Her story, which includes overcoming a twelve-year battle from a traumatic brain injury, is not only deeply inspirational and rivetingly dramatic, but contains profound soul-truths that also make her book a treasury of spiritual wisdom.”

“In this remarkable and uplifting book, Yvonne Kason brings to bear her insights as a physician who has had five near-death experiences, each one different, but all pointing toward a consistent message of hope and love. Her account of her spiritual odyssey, and the miraculous healing of her brain after traumatic injury, are inspirational testimonies to the human spirit and to the Higher Power behind the universe.”

“Dr. Yvonne Kason takes us on the path of a modern day mystic. We witness the moments when the Divine absorbs her, releasing knowledge held in her of a vast and all loving Presence. We witness moments when her awareness expands allowing her to view a larger tapestry of life and her place in it. We observe the struggles such awareness provoke that temper the personality, heal old wounds and reconnect her to her Soul’s journey. She shares this walk of a mystic through the relationship revealed with her “Higher Power” from the times reported during these mystical encounters as a child, a young adult and as a professional and devotee. Dr. Kason’s ability to courageously share these experiences woven with the medical and psychological understandings of such states will not only give validity to others walking this path, but will help them to integrate these states into everyday life. …We thank you, Dr. Kason, for the bridge of understanding you have constructed. The march to wholeness is at hand!”

“Dr. Yvonne Kason presents an extraordinary account of her multiple near-death experiences, and other spiritually transformative experiences, which occurred throughout her life. It is rare to find such a rich and deep disclosure by a medical professional, allowing readers a glimpse into the private struggles and celebrated victories as Dr. Kason engaged her experiences head on.
This book is for those who have had a spiritual experience, and may have struggled to accept it into his or her life, but nevertheless found meaning and purpose from the experiences themselves. It is also for those who may have a friend or relative who has struggled with a near-death or similar experience, and in witnessing this struggle became curious about what it might be like to go through the experience … It may even be for those facing end-of-life challenges, who wish to gain comfort as she or he nears the earthly veil from which only a handful have returned.
… Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs, as coined by Dr. Kason) impact a person’s overall developmental process…Dr. Kason has provided us a view into a life influenced by many large and small STEs, each with its own impact. …I invite you to join Dr. Kason as she opens the door to her inner world and invites you to travel with her along her path….. She has helped many, and will continue to do so through her books, including “Soul Lessons From the Light”.”
