Awakening My Spiritual Heart

Awakening My Spiritual Heart, painfully and sometimes ';awkwardly truthfully'

follows Mandi's journey of hedonistic and reckless abandonment through the

use of drugs and alcohol, to experiences of witnessing loved ones' death from

cancers, sexual assault, insurmountable moments of absolute bliss and many

other ';tales' that serve to portray her passage of growth. A must for anyone on

their own path of emergence from slumber.

It is an interweave of ';stories' drawn from Mandi J's life, artfully threaded

through the philosophy of the underlying fabric of all yoga practice, Pantajali's

Eight Limbs of Yoga. A snapshot of the underbelly of modern day Western

society ';meet's' Ancient Eastern philosophy. An unlikely, controversial marriage

to inspire and encourage the reader to take responsibility for awakening to their

own truth and living the very best version of their lives possible. ere are no

stories or shadows that are insurmountable.

At forty, a monumental turning point leads to absolute dedication to a

committed ';path of puri cation' and her own 'ten year experiment'. Her journey

is one from darkness to light, self-loathing to self-love, celibacy to Sacred Union,

as she finds the courage to walk to the mystic beat of her own Heart.

';Riveting. Raw. Real & brazenly honest.

';Awakening my Spiritual Heart' is Mandi's personal road map into freedom.'
