The AuthorsWiki team would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to author Val Toledo for generously sharing his valuable time for the interview. We are excited to inform you that the author’s recently published book, The Upward Spiral, is now available. In the interview, the author shared his experiences and some special moments with our team. We hope our readers enjoy this exclusive interview with the author.
AuthorsWiki : Do you briefly introduce yourself in your own words?
Val Toledo : Hi I am a self published author and have currently written 3 books, they are all non fiction and share my story and my journey of personal growth, transformation and balance. They all present a practical path of self discovery, reaching higher awareness and consciousness as well as operating on a higher frequency bandwidth. The impact this has on ones life is illustrated in the books. They are a series that the reader travels and explores to reach the destination they choose.
AuthorsWiki : Apart from writing, what is your occupation for livelihood?
Val Toledo : I am an Alignment Coach, which is based on my Upward Spiral Series of books. The coaching takes one through the philosophy of self improvement and transformation. I also offer long distance healing to many of my readers too.
AuthorsWiki : Tell us something about the your first book?
Val Toledo : My first book is an autobiography, where I share my own story of how my life had thrown certain curve balls at me which created what I call the ” wounded ego” or “chip.” This took me on a journey of self improvement, acute awareness and becoming the best version of myself, with courage and power. I share how this journey changed me, my life and my choices. The story truly inspires the reader to take charge of their lives and change their current reality.
AuthorsWiki : Would you like to tell us about your published books?
Val Toledo : Hi I am a self published author and have currently written 3 books, they are all non fiction and share my story and my journey of personal growth, transformation and balance. They all present a practical path of self discovery, reaching higher awareness and consciousness as well as operating on a higher frequency bandwidth. The impact this has on ones life is illustrated in the books. They are a series that the reader travels and explores to reach the destination they choose.
AuthorsWiki : Where did you get inspiration for book publishing?
Val Toledo : Weirdly I never planned to write a book and even had no desire to write. I was as a child an avid reader and always took solace in my quiet days of reading. I spent most of my life empowering people through my education background as a teacher which developed into training and upgrading the mass workforce in the time of apartheid before Mandela was released. This led me into corporate training and strategies as well as interventions such as culture change and programmes for employees mental well being.
It was this journey that took me into discovering how unhappy and misaligned many companies were, particularly in their leadership, who ‘infected’ the entire workforce. It was here that I had a driving passion to share both my corporate journeys and insight into how a wounded and damaged individual could effect their environment and all who met with them. This was the birth of the upward spiral which was written purely intuitively and channelled by guided information.
AuthorsWiki : How do you manage time to write a book?
Val Toledo : I was so driven to share my insights and story of becoming my true self, that it happened organically. I found writing at 4am in the morning was most productive and the house was quiet, and I could connect with my intuition to guide my writing.
AuthorsWiki : What is your favorite writing method, in which you do the most writing?
Val Toledo : I write in very casual style which is like I am telling a story and speaking to you. I have kept the writing clear and simple so its available to all who read it. My edit is very loose as I want the story to be real a part of life as it is, rather than a stage of play play.
The philosophy of the upward spiral is deeply complex, however it’s been described in practical steps that help the reader integrate this into their own lives.
AuthorsWiki : When did you start writing and how did your interest in writing begin?
Val Toledo : As I answered above, it kind of just fell on me, was never planned, however a desire came in to share my transformative growth and it just flowed form there and developed into coaching and healing, which was too never planned.
AuthorsWiki : Special achievement in your life, which you would like to share with us and your readers too?
Val Toledo : I would say Im really proud of the Education Programmes I have run, both in corporate for the uneducated labourer and in disadvantaged schools for the children who are failing and dropping out. The programme currently running is called abcforlife.org and has helped many children to stay in school and reach a productive level of education.
AuthorsWiki : Are you planning to write or publish a book in the present or future?
Val Toledo : I have self published three books and am super excited for my fourth book which is a big book, and researches and delves into the sacredness of mother and child, as well as the legal framework that doesn’t support that and moves into the dark world of child trafficking.
AuthorsWiki : Want to give a message to your readers and fans?
Val Toledo : Belief in yourself, your own unique brand and never give up on it, minimise yourself, or believe in others that tell you it’s not there.
AuthorsWiki : Every writer has his own Ideal, do you also have an Ideal writer? And your favorite books that you will always want to read?
Val Toledo : I love all philosophy books, especially those writing about self growth and power, accessing transformation and moving into higher and expansive consciousness. My two favourite authors are Gregg Braden and Carolynn Myss.
AuthorsWiki : Apart from writing, what are your other hobbies, which you like to do in your free time?
Val Toledo : I love being with my children and family, reading and listening to podcasts of enlightenment, yoga and stillness.
AuthorsWiki : Would you like to remain in the writing world even in future?
Val Toledo : Yes , as an author, alignment coach and in teaching what ~I know in order to help people.
