By definition, Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one’s own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one’s soul. It can also be called contemplation of one’s self. Introspection may be used synonymously with self-reflection and used in a similar way.
Conceptually, INTROSPECTION can be best described as an adult’s alphabet book. Meander through the twenty-six letters of the alphabet at your own pace and you will find what you seek. Each bite-sized reflection is an exercise in transformational reflection and is accompanied by a photograph that offers up a piece of nature’s soul. An eclectic mix of writing styles encourages one to speculate, dissect, evaluate, contemplate and dig deeper to explore their thoughts and perceptions. Each entry has its unique topic – and it’s own writing style…from free verse to form writing to small personal essays, INTROSPECTION allows us the space to appreciate how we are all so brilliantly individual, yet simultaneously connected.
Pam Gerrand, a singer and sound healer who has worked with wellness figures such as Deepak Chopra, shared that “INTROSPECTION is a jewel of a book, a multifacted, radiant journey through the landscapes of love, hope, courage, curiosity, awe and adventure. Author Karen Kindrachuk has the soul of a mystic and the eye of a poet, and with this passionate, potent debut offering she weaves words and images into shimmering beauty and luminous inspiration…a tender, reflective love letter to the human heart.”
