Conscious Flight Into The Empyrean

(now published as Kundalini: A Gentle Force)

www.hinduism.about.com

This is nothing like I have ever read before. It's an amazing book on meditation — a first-hand life-changing experience retold in every detail in the form of a journal, with supporting illustrations on every page by the author herself.

The first chapter traces the author's life through childhood, youth and family along with life's joys, traumas and tragedies till the point when she joined the course of 'Mental Physics' in 1995 that changes her life forever.

Mrs. Sachdeva takes to meditation and in a flash she is catapulted into a world where pillars of light flower within, twinkling stars encircle her form, snakes twirl on top of her head, and invisible hands clean out the inside of her head with tiny brushes and other instruments.

Written in simple narrative style with meticulous details that bring forth the author's sense of wonder as the series of visions unfurl inside her self. She travels through tunnels of light, has brief glimpses of past lives, and zooms into the incredible experience of oneness with the universe, becoming the sky, the river and the sea.

This rare depiction of the visual unfolding of the Kundalini energy challenges conventional views of perception and experience. These touching revelations of mystical experience take you on an extraordinary voyage into the subtle realms of the higher self. It is authentic as well as illuminating — a true story of self-realization written in first person by an ordinary woman of our times. You got to believe it… very few realize it! But it happens… it can happen to you!
