In Winks From Above: Opening Up to Signs and Synchronicities to Receive Little Miracles Each Day, a lump in the roof of her mouth causes Liliane Fortna to confront her mortality and find the right medical path and spiritual path. She begins to see small pointers which she calls “winks from above”, sent from beyond the Veil, a thin partition between the physical world and the spiritual one, and she interprets them positively. The author talks about her life chronologically, beginning with her time with her grandmother and abusive father before she was sent to boarding school. In her adulthood, after she decided to become more independent from her father, Liliane Fortna modeled, danced, and married twice before depression caused her to contemplate suicide. She trained as an energy healer and has been successfully practicing for over a decade.

The examples Liliane Fortna describes were a bonus, and they helped me understand her perspective. It was easy to see the relevance of each point as she explained them through her experiences. I was overwhelmed by the gifts her spirit guides sent to her, like the dog Moulouk, who was a great comfort to her during her trying childhood. Once she became an energy healer, the origins of the signs became clearer to her, and she was able to interpret them more wisely. I was particularly interested in the blocks that could keep a person from receiving messages and angel numbers, as I find myself correlating numbers to successful life goals. Winks From Above serves as both a memoir and an inspirational work, as it provides a testimony to the reader about a woman’s adventure into spiritual healing and greater understanding. I feel the book would be well received by individuals who are on a journey of self-discovery and higher learning.

Have any situations occurred that you considered out of the ordinary? Have you ever experienced synchronicities in your life, or are you among those who cannot? If the answer is yes, Winks From Above by Liliane Fortna is the book for you. The author will make you reconnect with your Angels and Guides and help you recognize the signs and messages they send you daily that (maybe) you cannot see. Fortna will guide you by telling you about her life and the synchronicities she has experienced. She will also suggest how to remove your blocks to reconnect with your Guides and Angels and experience synchronicity in your life.

Winks From Above is not the usual book in which the author explains the concepts theoretically. On the contrary, Liliane Fortna relies on the episodes of her life to give readers ideas to reflect on their own experiences. As for me, the stories she tells made me remember episodes in my life that seemed strange or unusual and finally enabled me to interpret what happened. I also found the exercises in the third part of the book very useful because they allow me to live with greater mindfulness (I especially liked the recommendation to smile at those who need it; this advice reveals sensitivity). I have reported my experience because I am sure that the same thing will happen to many other readers. I recommend Winks From Above to anyone who wants to take their life to the next level. This is the best companion guide you could ever want.

What are synchronicities and signs and how do we notice them in our own lives? Author Liliane Fortna explains these terms and applies them to her book, Winks From Above: Opening Up to Signs and Synchronicities to Receive Little Miracles Each Day. Fortna notes that your Guides and Angels are always watching over you and you should open yourself up to receiving their guidance. Liliane’s story begins with her childhood, growing up with an abusive grandmother who never taught her love or affection. Isolated and alienated from human touch, Liliane learned to connect with nature. Although her life was filled with travails of all kinds, she follows the signs and synchronicities leading her to a specific path.

Akemi G once said, “Synchronicity happens when we align with the flow of the universe rather than insisting the universe flow our way.” As someone who knows next to nothing about these things, I think Akemi G’s quote describes Liliane Fortna's writings perfectly and I found Winks From Above to be insightful. My eyes were opened to the spiritual clues occurring in my own life. I began to ask questions such as: How can I connect as Liliane did and what signs and synchronicities do I recognize in my everyday life? More importantly, what can I do to remove the stress and follow the universe, rather than try to force a certain path? The book shows readers how to improve their ability to communicate with the invisible realm, achieve an intuitive understanding through applying practical techniques, and identify the signs and synchronicities when they appear.

An inspirational book that helps you open up spiritually and emotionally to identify and receive special guidance, Winks from Above: Opening Up to Signs and Synchronicities to Receive Little Miracles Each Day by Liliane Fortna is both uplifting and enlightening as far as sharpening our intuition is concerned. As a healer, the author presents you with many sets of examples of the signs and messages placed in our path that we sadly overlook because of the lack of the required level of consciousness. This book is an invitation to delve into the unseen divine forces that are said to be watching over us. It is a work filled with anecdotes designed to help you connect with your spirit guide and interpret the signs they provide for you to take action.

If you believe in those little everyday miracles, this book is definitely for you, and you will find a kindred spirit in Liliane Fortna. If you come from a different school of thought, you are still very welcome to interpret the spiritual ideas in this book in how it suits you. Either way, Winks from Above is a powerful story of one woman’s spiritual journey and how she has managed to overcome adversity with the use of her spiritual strength -- by being connected to the signs and synchronicities that push her to create positive results. She has trodden the path and she shares it in her crisp writing so that you too can experience an increased awareness of spiritual communication. If you are looking for an alternative means of personal empowerment, you may want to give this book your attention.
