BURNING BRIGHT
NOW AVAILABLE
My very first book, to help you reclaim your energy, transcend burnout, beat anxiety, and step into your own power with inspiration, energy techniques, and simple rituals.
Named one of Barnes and Noble's top 50 books for Inspiration & Self Care,
alongside Michelle Obama, Brene Brown, Oprah, Elizabeth Gilbert and the Dalai Lama.
When you’re burning the candle at both ends, your flame runs out of fuel fast. But you probably already know that—who isn’t over-worked, over-scheduled, and over-tired? With Burning Bright, Reiki master and meditation teacher Kelsey Patel says, I see you, you’re not alone, and healing is possible. Patel’s warmth and compassion radiate off the page as she teaches simple, effective methods—like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, or “tapping”)—to help you banish harmful stress, cope with anxiety, and leave burnout behind.
