Face to Face With Spirit: An Architect's Journey of Discovery Hardcover – August 25, 2016

Everyone on earth has a unique journey to take what we call life, starting with birth ending with death, which to me also is not an end but a rebirth.The book is about the author's journey of discovering her spirituality and practicing it.well written, could not put it down.

The book is very intersting and easy to read. It widens one's wiew of life death and meaning beyond the standard teachings.

This book by the accomplished Turkish-born architect Esi Cakmakcioglu will be of great interest to all those seeking convincing evidence of the survival of the human personality after death. In it she tells of the dawning and gradual evolution of spiritual gifts, the development of which were perhaps as surprising to herself as to those who had previously known her only as a friend and colleague.Described within the context of an interesting and varied professional life and after surviving a life-threatening illness the author found herself becoming increasingly aware of a spiritual dimension to human existence culminating in the development of clairvoyant abilities by which she was able to provide highly persuasive information as to the continuing existence of the relatives and friends of people about whose lives she had no previous knowledge. With this came the ability to draw, usually within a few minutes, portraits of the communicators whose likenesses would frequently be confirmed by the subsequent provision of photographs by friends or family members.Another development was the realisation that she was able to use her gifts to allow spiritual energies, working through her, to assist in the healing and consolation of people suffering from a variety of different illnesses and emotional disturbances, this in turn leading her to train as a clinical hypnotherapist which expanded her practice still further.This well-written and intelligent book is filled with countless anecdotes describing all that has happened along the way always paying tribute to those who have helped her on her journey of discovery and includes examples of the drawings which have done so much to convince their recipients of the continuance of human life after bodily death.

Esi has shared her voyage of self-discovery with the reader, interwoven with poignant anecdotes of other peoples’ life challenges. If I have taken anything from her book it is that we all need to ‘know’ ourselves. This is no small thing as the longer we leave our own voyage of self-discovery, the longer it will take to understand ourselves and thus form the healthiest relationships we can with the people in our lives.Esi shows with real life examples and proof that the search for answers to our individual problems can only be found if we look within and yet many of us continue to look for answers and solutions outside.Undoubtedly each person’s life journey is different and the difficulties encountered vary and so Esi guides us through the chapters, touching on examples as a spiritual medium and clinical hypnotherapist. Throughout she encourages us to question our emotions and behaviour, so that we take responsibility for our lives and search for answers in order to make changes that will impact positively on our mental and physical wellbeing.

I am, up to an extend, familiar with the subject on this book but what made it very special for me was to read the non-judgemental style Esi uses to talk about the way Spirits direct her drawings to communicate to others. Is very interesting to follow this talented woman Architect through the sincerity of her words and how she ended up developing her spiritual abilities. Reading her own process it opened my eyes about all that world of serious Spiritual Centres in UK in particular and which I ignored exited.I gave this book to my husband and was trilled with his serious attention to a book he normally would not read. Because the way is written I feel this book can be very well suited for open discussions among people that may not know what to think about life after death.

encouraging and inspiring story.....a journey into the spiritual world seen with the rational and curios eyes of a woman who has lived her life to the full! With honesty and sense of humor Esi shares her experience and her learning path, unfolding a true deep new meaning to our all existence in this dimension. I completely relate to her interpretation of life and I will always thank her for her dedicated perseverance and determination . well done Esi!

In this stylishly written book Esi shares her spiritual journey in an honest and humorous way. The book is full of insight concerning the world of spirit, healing, past life regression, automatic writing and hypnotherapy. The book convinces the reader that life after death does exist and arouses in the reader the desire to embark on their own spiritual journey, equipping them with the information to do so. Often mediums are accused of cold reading, using their powers of observation to tell a person what they want to hear. This is not the case with Esi as she draws a person in spirit first, the person is identified and then Esi relates facts about the person and gives a message from the person; the particular details of the person are astounding.

Congratulations to Esi for putting in print her fascinating life story and her extraordinary experiences revealing a level of our lives that is full of wonder. Through her unique talent she has been helping many people to make their connections, giving them solace, comfort and joy. Her book broadens our understanding of life.

Well written book that addresses a wide audience.

An amazing book.
