Beyond the Skin Nistha Dube

This collection portrays the common stages of a spiritual awakening. As humans, we feel, heal, and awaken on a physical level everyday. When encountering transitions in our personal beliefs, we experience these sensations beyond the skin, resulting in both internal and external shifts. The three sections encompass the range of happenings we often undergo during this process, such as intuitive nudges, attachment to old chapters, loss of things we once knew to be home, liberation in rewriting our stories, and everything in between. These passages elucidate the strange yet fulfilling aspects of spirituality, and aim to offer understanding to those who are on a path of their own self-discovery. Ultimately, awakening is ongoing and subjective. Everyone's story looks different, each allowing us to explore beyond the skin and find deeper beauty within and around us.
