“I love the way she writes. I feel as though I am sitting with her at her kitchen table, enjoying a coffee, and feeling a big “Yes!” This book is so inspiring at this time, when questions such as “What is true about anything anymore?” and “What to believe anymore?” are so pervasive in the world now. She does not feel that she is a “poor-me” victim, and she gives a plan from her own life experience. She is using the Five Sutras for the Aquarian Age, two of which she shares: “There’s a way through every block” and “When the time is on you, start; and the pressure will be off.” Thank you for your wonderful book!” - Gurmukh Khalsa

“In I Am Light, Lisa shares her heartfelt journey of personal transformation, artfully navigating divorce and life as a single mom using the consciousness raising technology of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. She reminds us of the power of listening to the whispers of our soul and finding the courage to give ourselves permission to live a life that aligns with our true purpose. Based on deep insights from her own personal journey to break free from convention, Lisa’s message is clear: living as authentically in the world as we can is for our highest good, and for that of all beings. The framework of the book is a practical guide for the spiritually curious, those open to energetic tools designed to help peel away the mental and emotional clutter so we can experience genuine well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally.

“Lisa is a master of words (and life). Her story intertwined with the quotes and chakras make a captivating read. The words exude a certain energy that draws upon all the emotions. The reader is drawn out of their head and to their heart. It's truly a work of art. You’ll want to read this to discover yourself. Your true authentic self. To ask the questions you’ve never asked yourself before. To slow down and reflect on the life you’ve created for yourself. The way Lisa shares her story makes the reader able to feel through the words. Her vulnerability and rawness allows one to dive into their own selves to dig and find the higher vibration Lisa asks her readers to seek.” - Nicole Marchand, Intuitive Reiki Master Healer, Medium, Psychic

“This journal book is a great tool for anyone looking to find clarity and direction for living their best life. Lisa shares her story in a raw and relatable way by her willingness to share her vulnerabilities with confidence, grace, and ease. She is an exceptional sound therapy healer and Kundalini Yoga teacher who lovingly encourages others to find their true passion and follow their inner light. Not only is this book a great introduction to the technology and practice of the Kundalini style of yoga, it’s also formatted in an approachable and easy to use design for anyone looking for a little more guidance with journaling. I highly recommend this book for anyone ready to begin this journey of a lifetime!”

“Lisa Annese is a beacon of light for anyone seeking to redirect their own life and discover who they really are. In her book, I Am Light, Lisa offers clear directions to follow, using a transformative path of vibrational light, based on her personal experience of change. In a world where women can be swallowed up by everything that is supposed to be good, Lisa forged a path using sound and yoga, which established her own authentic path of personal truth and purpose. This brought her pure joy so she could experience and share about finding a life that really is good. As a sound healer myself, my favorite part is the accompanying videos which offer powerful meditations and sound healing sessions that vividly express her passion and gifts. I was very impressed by the level of clarity and detail that made the steps easy to implement. I give Lisa’s impactful book my highest recommendation for anyone serious about changing their own life for the better.” - Karen Olson, Ph.D., Multi Billboard-topping musician, recording artist, composer, Reiki Master, award-winning author, energetic sound healer, and member of the New York Pops

“This book has a great title, an intriguing subtitle, and then delivers its promise with great charm. This is essentially a record of how the author realized that her life was not serving her essence and how she overcame this impasse in her life with resolution, courage, and yoga. Lisa documents the changes and challenges she needed to make through the rubric of the six key qualities that needed reevaluating:truth, joy, power, love, intuition, and the divine. One of the key methodologies of self-healing and life transformation that Lisa discovers is the practice of Kundalini Yoga, which becomes the touchstone of her awakening. The landmark of Lisa’s 40th birthday and the Covid-19 pandemic also play their part in the backdrop of events, spurring transformation and change as she finds the courage to embrace the darkness of the unknown. In an effective workbook style of presentation, each of the 180 days ends with a homily-like statement encouraging self-reflection and profound inner dialogue. Different yogic techniques are judiciously introduced, with careful and accurate instruction given to encourage the reader to develop their own practice. Lisa is delightfully discursive in choosing inspiring and apposite quotations to elucidate her text from such disparate luminaries as Rumi to RuPaul, and Kurt Vonnegut to Albert Einstein. This is an honest, heartfelt document from an inspirational professional woman, mother, and yogini who presents a primer of applied yogic technology which will help many people to make positive changes in their lives.” - Guru Dharam Khalsa, BAcC, RCHM, Director International School of Kundalini Yoga, iSKY
