Breathing Life into Death... - Large Print by Pushkara S Ashford (Paperback)

About the Book

A healing and spiritual memoir in poetic form along with autobiographical essays. Includes internet links to read backstory blogs, hear original songs and interact with the author.

Book Synopsis

Consciousness bloomed, birthing new life when Pushkara Sally Ashford lost her "art" and raison d'etre - the one constant, her voice - at age 39. This singer and self-proclaimed "godless one," cried for "Help!" In its wake, a profound spiritual awakening revealed realms beyond the limitations of mind.

Dissolution of the known universe and experience of love beyond all bounds in a subsequent near death experience spurred the ensuing healing odyssey and spiritual journey spanning 46 of her 85 years. Through the immediacy of poems, song lyrics and visions sandwiched among hundreds of journals, Pushkara shares her reflections from both sides of the veil.

Review Quotes

"The journey of awakening hovers in place awaiting our willing participation and/or, our timely surrender through the loss of our carefully cultivated identity. With poetry, vision, song and a little help from an enlightened guide, Pushkara fully traverses the territory of awakening. Her lifelong song whispers a resonance with the archetypical nature of death and renewal."
