‘A remarkable book … Experiences like Roisin’s have now been validated by hundreds of scientific studies around the world, and provide evidence that consciousness is more than the brain and indeed that we are more than our bodies. As a guide to enhancing your own spirituality, Taking Heaven Lightly is a love story in the most sublime sense’ Dr Bruce Greyson, co-editor of The Handbook of Near Death Experiences
Each and every one of us is more powerful than we can begin to imagine. Roisin Fitzpatrick discovered this at the age of 35 when, without any warning, she suffered a life-threatening brain haemorrhage. While in the intensive care unit, she felt herself being drawn out of her body and enveloped in a radiant light. There, in a blissful experience of the afterlife, she had the most amazing transformation of her life. She discovered that ‘Heaven’ lies within each of us, that we are pure love and always at one with the eternal light.
After making a full recovery, Roisin decided to radically change her life. In Taking Heaven Lightly, she takes us on an extraordinary journey of integrating the skills from her former professional career with her passion for sharing the beauty of the eternal light and wisdom of her ancient Irish heritage. With courage and compassion she shows by example how our greatest challenges are truly our most precious gifts, enabling us to reawaken and connect with a sense of unity beyond the physical realm.
If you are searching for inner peace and greater joy in your life, this ground-breaking book provides inspirational guidance in a practical, reader-friendly style. From the first page, Roisin captures your heart in a powerfully poignant story embracing the true meaning of life. Written with humour and grace, we are given the opportunity to use Roisin’s experience like a road map, to take a candid look at our own lives, because a life beyond our wildest dreams is waiting to unfold, here and now, if we have the courage to take that first step towards the light …

An authentic, moving and motivating book ... Read it and be enlightened!
An inspirational guide for those who are interested in spirituality
I approached Taking Heaven Lightly with my usual academic scepticism, but the clear, sincere, even humorous, style, attracted me and I was drawn in.

An insightful and in-depth look into what lies beyond our physical realm. Where do we go when we die? Roisin Fitzpatrick's stunning book takes us into the world that lies beyond our senses and suggests ways in which we can integrate that world into our everyday life. It is a remarkable piece of writing and one that ultimately lifts the soul. A must read
