Chris Goldsmith was born in Strood, Kent, and has spent most of her life in that county. She has had poems published in many anthologies and is currently a Reiki master/teacher and charity trustee. Chris sees herself as an ordinary person, with no special qualifications or privileged upbringing, who still managed to turn her life around from adverse circumstances.

The author of this revealing autobiography, a timely publication for the dawn of the new millennium, has looked beyond the physical realms of the world to seek enlightenment and comfort for herself and others.

After experiencing much unhappiness and illness, this account of her painful journey to health, happiness and enlightenment is inspirational.

Desolate after family deaths, two failed marriages and the onset of multiple sclerosis, the author was introduced in Australia to the ancient Japanese art of Reiki. She believes she was led to this method of natural healing by powers which bided their time until she was ready to respond. Since then she has not looked back and is herself a practitioner of Reiki and hopes to found a healing centre based upon New Age and holistic approaches to religion, philosophy, medicine and the environment.

Chris Goldsmith is clearly a force for good in the world with a will to succeed and inspire others.
