The manual for a mystic is life.

And this was my life…

 

I was a girl from Long Island who stumbled into guiding past-life regression as a teenager and could no longer believe the version of reality I’d been handed. So I followed my dreams to India, hoping to find someone who could help me understand the truth.

 

What I found was an ex-monk who had more faith than any reasonable person should, and who turned every scene into a playground—from the sacred villages of Vrindavan to the malls of San Jose.

 

The Mystic’s Manual is a memoir that reveals the profound, delicious, and sometimes outrageous path of devotional mysticism, which can’t be understood by the mind alone.
