You Came Back for a Reason — Now Discover What It Is

You’ve touched the Light. You’ve seen beyond the veil, experienced the profound unity, unconditional love, and peace that most only dream of. But now you’re back. And nothing feels the same.

This is the quiet, often painful reality that many Near-Death Experiencers (NDErs) and spiritually awakened individuals face. Earth feels heavier. Relationships feel distant. The world keeps spinning, but you feel like a stranger in your own life.

So why did you come back? And what are you meant to do now?

In her transformative book Integrating the Light, Susan E. Galvan offers a deeply compassionate guide for answering those exact questions. Whether your awakening came through an NDE, a spontaneous mystical event, or a profound personal loss, Galvan assures you: You are not broken—you are becoming.

The first step in finding purpose after a spiritual opening is to release the expectation that you’ll return to your “old self.” That version of you no longer exists. Instead, purpose emerges when you embrace who you are now—more expanded, more sensitive, more attuned to truth and love.

Susan Galvan gently guides readers to explore new ways of living, loving, and serving in this altered state. From grounding practices that stabilize your heightened energy, to techniques for healing the invisible wounds of return, Integrating the Light invites you to anchor your soul’s knowing into daily life.

Your purpose is not a grand mission to fulfill or a role to play. It’s a way of being—embodying the divine light you encountered and offering it to the world through small, authentic acts: listening with empathy, speaking with truth, and loving without condition.

You came back for a reason. You are here to remind this world—through your presence, your choices, your kindness—that Heaven is not a place we go, but a light we carry.

Let Integrating the Light be your roadmap as you begin again—not back to the person you were, but forward into the soul you were always meant to become.

You are not lost. You are becoming.
