To experience an epiphany is to have sudden insight into the essential meaning of something, unleashed sometimes in exquisitely slow motion, sometimes in a flash.
In an intimate, lyrical integration of the science of psychology and transcendence of spirituality, celebrated clinician Dr. Ann Jauregui introduces us to nine individuals who have undergone astonishing transformations by exploring a world quite different from the one described by our five senses.
With moments of miraculous and joyful surprise, Epiphanies exposes a reality outside of everyday existence that has momentous implications for life’s ultimate questions.
“Shyly we venture out with these stories,” Dr. Jauregui writes, “into a world where science itself is struggling to describe a realm out of time and space and language.”
We are the beneficiaries of these extraordinary shifts of perspective, invited into a sparkling conversation that allows us to see the potential residing in all of us. A riveting read!

“I hope that word of this little gem reaches beyond its obvious audience of therapists and other healers. This is not a book about psychotherapy. Or at least it’s not simply a book about psychotherapy. With great good humor, touching lyricism and intelligent insight, family therapist Ann Jauregui conducts a magical mystery tour, exploring life’s ah hah moments in science, psychotherapy, and religion.
She explores how it happens that something quite ordinary triggers a dramatic change in perception as when looking at an Escher print. Without fanfare or warning, edges blur and suddenly something familiar shifts. Light falls on a new path and nothing is ever quite the same again.
As entertaining as this book is, it should be read slowly. Take the time to enjoy Jauregui’s good company and make sure you don’t miss a single insight along the way. In a world full of promised quick fixes and self-help guides, Ann Jauregui’s Epiphanies offers something deeper and more humbling — a newly generous sense of wonder, optimism and possibility.
There’s a bonus, too, a richly provocative foreward by internationally renowned philosopher and religious scholar, Huston Smith.”

“Pick up and start reading Epiphanies and you’ll immediately know you’re in the hands of a masterful story teller. You’ll also immediately see that the stories Ann Jauregui has to tell are inspiring and informative. Jauregui, a psychotherapist, interweaves stories about her clients’ lives with stories about her own life, while simultaneously explaining a few things about modern day physics and modern day psychology. Because Jauregui writes in such an exceptionally easy-to-read and engaging style, there’s no reason to be daunted by any of her topics. Perhaps, the most wonderful thing about this book is that it will leave you hopeful about life — both it’s infinite possibilities and it’s infinite mysteries.”

“In “Epiphanies,” Ann Jauregui writes about those moments when clients wake up to healing. Dr. Jauregui is clear that as therapists and helpers we can’t make such moments happen, but we can listen for them making them more likely to happen and more likely to be noticed when they do happen. Such listening is enhanced by our own awakening to the universe–that what we used to think of as static and external isn’t that way at all. Her chapters on contemporary science and her clients’ experiences read like adventure stories, which they are. This book is in the same league as Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen’s “Kitchen Table Wisdom.” I recommend it most highly.”
