Hollywood to the Himalayas (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Hollywood to the Himalayas is the enlightening memoir of a reluctant spiritual seeker who finds much more than she bargained for when she travels to India. As a Stanford grad, in the midst of getting a PhD in psychology, Sadhvi Saraswati was comfortable with her life. Despite years of grappling with an eating disorder and trauma from her early childhood, she felt as if she was successfully navigating her way through early adulthood. When she agreed to travel to India to appease her husband-and because she loved the food-Sadhvi would have never imagined that she would be embarking on a journey of healing and awakening. "Sadhviji models for us, at the deepest level, that in the true teaching of the spiritual traditions, healing and grace are always possible." -Prince Ea, in the foreword to Hollywood to the Himalayas "Vivid and poetic…her journey is a river of love, compelling in its authenticity and unflinching honesty. …a must for anyone who is interested in exploring different paths to fulfilment and to the Creator." -Jane Goodall "Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati is a great teacher of spirituality and consciousness. Her inspiring wisdom illuminates the path to healing, happiness, and inner peace." -Deepak Chopra "For so many of us, the road to the Divine sometimes begins with deep trauma. And, then Grace is bestowed upon us and we blossom in the holiness of love. Hollywood to the Himalayas is filled with wisdom and truth about the powerful revelations that unfold on the path to a deeper relationship to the divine. This is a beautiful book." -Rev. Iyanla Vanzant, executive producer, Iyanla, Fix My Life
