I'm Awake! Now What‪?‬ LightCasting

This Sunday I sat down with Spiritual Teacher, Transformational Coach, and Author, Mónica Esgueva to discuss her new book "The 7 Levels of Wisdom" a book about reaching the highest levels of consciousness, wisdom, and inner peace. Mónica discusses integrating the lessons we learn so that we might further evolve and expand our own consciousness. She shares the importance of awakening and breaking out of the matrix, and breaking free from societal programming and conditioning. She jokes that Earth is like a boot camp and it takes real courage to seek a path of enlightenment and wisdom, to shift the collective consciousness, one person at a time.
 
Mónica Esgueva is a celebrated self-development teacher and spiritual guide, known for her ability to merge Eastern and Western philosophies into actionable wisdom. Her journey from a successful career in international business to a decade-long spiritual exploration in India and Nepal under the tutelage of Tibetan lamas, including the Dalai Lama, has equipped her with a unique blend of practical and profound insights.
Mónica's latest book, "The 7 Levels of Wisdom," is a testament to her life’s work and dedication. It promises to provide the keys to navigating life's challenges with greater awareness and purpose.
