Blissbody - by Catherine Auman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"A captivating novel that takes readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery, sensuality, and the profound secrets of tantra."

What if the love you've been searching for is waiting for you on the other side of the world?

Leela has spent half her life searching for her "Beloved"-the perfect soulmate she knows must exist. Exhausted by the cold, rejecting atmosphere of conventional dating in the West, she books a ticket to India. Her destination: an intensive, mysterious tantra ashram where the rules of Western romance no longer apply.

Written by multiple-award-winning author and licensed marriage and family therapist Catherine Auman, blissbody: Adventures in Tantra is a mesmerizing, semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's own year-long immersion at an ashram in India. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their body, frustrated by modern dating, or hungry for a deeper, more spiritual connection.

Inside this unforgettable novel, you will follow Leela as she:

• Navigates the wild, sensual underground of India, from the full-moon techno raves of Goa to the sacred burning ghats of Pune
• Enters a rigorous tantric awakening group that strips away her Western conditioning and invites her to confront her deepest fears about intimacy
• Learns the true, ancient meaning of tantra-which is far more about radical honesty and opening the heart than it is about sex
• Discovers her "blissbody"-the ecstatic, fully awakened, and deeply embodied self that has been dormant inside her all along

Read this book and you will:

• Experience the thrill of a spiritual adventure that reads like a cross between Eat, Pray, Love and a tantric coming-of-age story
• Find out how to live from the heart instead of the mind, releasing the performance pressure that ruins modern relationships
• Discover the breathtaking intimacy that is possible when two people finally drop their masks and surrender to love

Don't settle for a life of ordinary connection when an extraordinary awakening is possible.
