The Gift
of
Crisis
“Bridgitte’s writing comes directly from the heart, and will help you unblock your connection to your inner guidance.”
—Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder of Omega Institute
“In a clear and compassionate style, Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley shows us the gift of both crisis and meditation—to lead us into our deepest wisdom and highest self. An evolved, insightful and genuinely helpful read!”
—Nancy Colier, psychotherapist, interfaith minister, author of The Power of Off: The Mindful Way to Stay Sane in a Virtual World
“What Bridgitte reminds us is that it is so important to continue the work that is ours to do, to push on, to be relentless, to be unfailingly loyal to ourselves and our higher being. She teaches that following our way requires persistence, repetition, and devotion. That being inspired and being fired by the passion within us is what is required to consistently apply the tools that we have, to gain our own level of enlightenment, our own bliss. Often self-help books try to tell us that we can do the work in a very easy way and get results instantly. What Bridgitte shows us is that it is not necessarily that the way itself that is difficult, but that we must be persistent in our practices, and this is what requires effort—ongoing and repeated effort.”
—B. Jean Lein, CPA, ALSP, Certified Energy Codes Facilitator and Licensed Practitioner
“Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley has written an engaging story about how she integrated her spiritual self with her worldly personality to shift what I often call the ‘inner blueprint’—that pattern of thought and energy that gives rise to physical reality. She used many creative perceptual methods to recreate her life to include more flow, supply, support, opportunity, and synchronicity. She demonstrates clearly how anyone can do it! It’s a simple matter of changing your perception and frequency—really!”
—Penney Peirce, author of Transparency, Leap of Perception, and Frequency
“Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley has the gift of observing the little details that make her story come to life, and make her spiritual journey meaningful. In her quest for a better way to live, she made discoveries of deep principles that will enrich your understanding of how the universe works. With careful attention to the step-by-step process she went through to get in touch with her inner guidance system, she provides a clear roadmap for clarifying your own thinking about your life, your potential, and your destiny.”
—Chris Vogler, screenwriter, author of The Writer’s Journey
“I had the pleasure of meeting Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley last year. During our conversation, we agreed that hard times can provide great opportunities to recapitulate what you have done, right or wrong, and where change is needed. With the wisdom and experience of someone who has done it in her own life, in The Gift of Crisis, Bridgitte offers amazing information to put movement toward change.”
—Sergio Magaña Hidalgo, author of Caves of Power: Ancient Energy Techniques for Healing, Rejuvenation and Manifestation
“There is nothing more beautiful than a human story of awakening. To hear the direct experience of others, told with candor and heart, is a great teacher for us all. This is a touching, well-written and captivating account of one woman’s life and if you read it you will get a sense of how one can be guided by some form of higher intelligence, if one starts to listen. However, dues must be paid. Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley paid them, and now lives from a deeply connected place in service to life.”
—Megan McFeely, producer and director of As She Is
“In The Gift of Crisis, Bridgitte reveals very personal struggles and shares how she resolved them with guidance from her ‘Higher Mind.’ In a detailed, well-written account, the author shares how meditation practice shed new light and perspective on reoccurring challenges. The reader is encouraged to ‘try this at home.”
—Catherine Yunt, MC
“This book reminds us of the grace in the crisis, and the opportunity to transform and accept it as catalyst to live into our highest vision of our authentic life.”
—Sande Hart, Director of the Charter for Compassion International Women and Girls
