The Luminous Self

Praise

“Tracee Stanley has gifted the world with another incredible and one-of-a-kind resource that is filled with countless gems of her grounded and embodied wisdom. The Luminous Self is an experiential and restorative guidebook that reminds us that Yoga is truly a state of being and that our spiritual practices and rituals are a sacred way of reconnecting us to our deepest selves. With compassion, nuance, and profound magic (in the way only Tracee can do), this book introduces us to the life-shifting practices of ritual, embodiment, movement, meditation, rest, and Yoga nidra. Deeply nourishing and simultaneously awakening—you will not be the same person when you are finished.”

—Katie Silcox, author of Happy, Healthy, Sexy

“It is time to collectively wake up and remember who we are before our forgetfulness causes any more harm to us, all sentient beings, and the planet. The Luminous Self is not only a book—it is already a good Ancestor who whispers to us, ‘This, this is the way.’ You are not lost; follow the ray that points toward The Luminous Self.”
—Octavia Raheem, author of Pause, Rest, Be

“This work of art speaks to the undoing that meets us all at our proverbial front door when we dive into an inquiry and practice how to heal ourselves and find peace amid a chaotic world and landscape. Tracee provides a soft container that feels like the wisest guidance for the unraveling and undoing as well as practices and tools for the journey back into wholeness and truth.”

With compassion and courage, she carves away our confusion regarding these ancient, esoteric spiritual teachings to reveal what has been there all along: We are already whole and full. The light we’re seeking is within us.”
