In Deep Shift

Riding the Waves of Change to Find Peace, Fulfillment, and Freedom

By: Valerie Gangas

Narrated by: Valerie Gangas

An empowering guide to help you navigate those times when your life turns upside down and inside out—and the radical shift in consciousness you can access in the process

There’s nothing safe or comfortable about having your life overturned. Whether the upheaval comes in the form of a world-shaking event or something as intimate as a broken relationship, medical emergency, or personal loss—the result leaves us feeling profoundly disturbed and unsure of what to do next. Yet what if such moments of crisis were actually gateways to expanding our consciousness and finding more freedom than we ever thought possible? At these times, we enter what Valerie Gangas calls “deep shift.”

For Valerie, her own deep shift came after she lost her mother. In her struggles with depression and despair, she became fascinated by what comes next when our lives are upended. “There’s no ‘back to normal,’” she says. “Deep shifting is a process that means letting go of the person you thought you were. These times compel us to turn to what we’re all here to do—wake up, transform, and come home to our true selves.”

In Deep Shift walks you through the journey from the moment “shift really hits the fan” to your return to the world as a changed human. Here, Valerie offers research-driven insights, relatable stories, and practices and journal exercises to help reframe the hard times, embrace change as a gateway to awakening—and ultimately learn to become a “natural shifter” who can flow gracefully with whatever life throws at you.

Valerie shares the profound, often hidden benefits of being “in deep shift,” including:

• Freedom from troubling distractions and anxiety about the future

• Knowing it’s okay to just be you

• Resting in deep acceptance of what is instead of fixating on what you may have wanted

• Enhanced mental clarity and creativity

• Feeling more emotionally grounded and balanced

In Deep Shift is an empowering guide, offering reassurance and support during times of major life change—to help you remember that even in the hardest times, your sense of hope, purpose, and joy is always within reach.

“Besides providing illuminating insights and practical suggestions for living in higher consciousness, Valerie Gangas encourages her readers and listeners to seize each opportunity to create a new life, one moment at a time, one choice at a time.”—Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics

In person, she’s all of that and charismatic to boot.”—Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda and The Life of Yogananda

So spot on and inspiring and insightful…WOW!

I was not expecting to love this. I met the amazing woman who wrote this and while I absolutely adore her, writing a great book is hard and so I went into this listen without any expectations. Whoa! This book speaks to my soul. I’ve read SO MANY self development books from all of the famous authors over the past five years or so…this one ranks right up at the top! All I can think of is the many people I’d love to share this book with. Thank you Valerie for your wonderful writing and clear helpful thoughts. I’m a shifter! Who knew!!??

Only on chapter 3

I LOVE this book and I’m only on chapter 3!! You know when you can’t stop listening to a book because it is written in such a relatable way that you understand your own journey better? This is that book! Loved Valerie’s first book and love this one even more! Can’t wait to read the rest!

NO SHORT-CUT, BUT THIS BOOK HELPS!

There’s apparently no short-cut to getting through to the other side of a personal transformation of consciousness. That’s what I’m getting from listening to Valerie Gangas’s In Deep Shift. However, rather than being dismayed about that, I’m feeling inspired (and even somewhat hopeful) to put some of what she’s suggesting into practice. There’s quite a smorgasbord of practical advice in the book, which I appreciate – there’s always room in my spiritual toolbox for another tool to make use of when the situation calls for it.
