Catch the Dream Express is
the archetypal journey towards self-transformation and personal
freedom from our conditioned mind and soul. Maria Mar takes us
on the express train towards our dreams and making local stops
we examine our fears, challenges and shadows.
In the tradition of pilgrimage, Maria Mar takes the protagonist,
Angelina, through a spiral of confrontations with the
internalized voices of her past to be confronted with her
present reality. All of these challenges, beyond Angelina’s
control, strip the ego of the illusion that it is in charge thus
making space for her true self to emerge.
As the Dragonfly Diva guides her in this journey, Angelina is
then able to feel her true heart in the Throne of the
Ancestral Heart and awakes to find the sacredness of the
here and now.
Maria Mar uses her personal experience and infuses the
Catch the Dream Express with
love, compassion and practical tools for the reader to engage in
a wonderful journey of self-exploration.
As Dante’s Inferno, the journey to Self entails confronting our
shadows, and at every local stop in the Dream Express,
Angelina faces a ghost of her past that’s stopping her from
achieving her dream. The passage from darkness to light is one
that requires courage and the likelihood of confronting
ourselves without fear. The tools provided for this journey are
simple, yet profound, to help the reader sustain their personal
change and dream.
Our deepest calling is to grow and become our own authentic self
and to break from the conditioned images of who we ought to be.
Catch the Dream Express
helps you to awaken the seed of true self that was planted when
you were born. This is an exquisite salute to the Inner Child
and to Life!
