  KATHRYN'S CORNER: IT'S JUST A THOUGHT
It seems we are living in an age of awakening called the New Consciousness. Books and CDs by a new generation of nonfiction authors are sending transforming messages that make us aware of our own thought processes and inspire us to disentangle ourselves from conditioned responses. These new thinkers, with theories based on the Eastern perspective, raise fascinating questions about the nature of the universe and a shifting of beliefs.

This heightened interest in spiritual-awareness nonfiction can be seen in popular fiction. Authors such as Jayne Ann Krentz, Lindsay McKenna and Maggie Shayne, to name a few, have incorporated metaphysical elements into their books, much to the delight of their legions of fans.

Consciousness-raising topics were first presented at the "Psychic Sunday" program at 2006 RT Booklovers Convention. I was pleasantly surprised at how many of you attended. Speakers on meditation, Reiki energy healing, auras, past-life regression and mediumship were well received and, in fact, inspired attendees to share their personal psychic/intuitive experiences. Since then I have embarked on a spiritual path of discovery to meet more inspiring authors and teachers of enlightenment. Two universal messages I've encountered along the way may not be new but they're worth reinforcing: "to approve (love) ourselves" and "what we think is what we attract."

The purpose of my new monthly column in Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine and this web content area is to delve into current mystic writers, including enlightened scientists and authors from the neuroscience and quantum physics fields. These thinkers that I will introduce to you serve to remind us that our identity and our future are entirely our own perception, boiling down to just a tapestry of thoughts (which explains the title of this column).
