Publisher Description This book is an autobiographical spiritual adventure story; a coming of age of a little girl from the Alberta prairies desperately longing to be once more anchored in the divine, and finding the path to freedom through a beloved guru; Swami Kriyananda. She is initiated into the kriya yoga of Yogananda, handed down from Krishna through Masters that have come in the line of Jesus. The little stories of her life embroider this tapestry of unfolding help that will deliver her into the arms of her own higher self, and her inner light begins to shine. She finds the Saint who has been waiting in the wings for her to mature enough to recognize him, and the opportunity to finally break free into the skies of promise. The story has been read by Swami Kriyananda before his death, and many at the Ananda communities have given accolades for its heartwarming ability to open vistas for the reader into a vast realm of possibilities for perceiving truth and unveiling love. The book is punctuated with her reverent songs at intervals -- dipping into the tenderness and strength of heart that permeates the search.

She was raised in northwestern Canada and her writing is subtly influenced by the pristine beauty of the Rockies, and open prairie settings she once winded her way through from town to town playing music in her teens and twenties. She then found the teachings of Yogananda; the great spiritual teacher, through his disciple Swami Kriyananda. By this time, having gone through spells of serious doubts that ones life even holds a meaningful destiny, she suddenly found herself blossoming anew before the tutorage of the Saint. Sharon has responded to her newly awakened glimpse of self by reaching out from beneath all the restrictions imposed by ill born habit and self definitions so typical of our culture and times, with fresh new melodies, commentaries and books of promise, And, amidst working as a bookblock editor, wife and mother in Tennessee, she still makes pilgrimages to Ananda Village in California where Swami lived and taught. At his feet her life was saved, and her understanding of the teachings of Christ greatly enhanced. Her inspiration and meditation born level of consciousness is so improved, that this book and others of her offerings, along with her music, may become a fresh, trickling spring of promise into your daily life. Ollie Anderson has never really been singled out for her amazing artwork and to this day drives a truck near the Ft. McMurray tarsands in Northern Alberta. As you can see there is a Disney and beyond sweetness to her spirit that her pictures are an embodiment of, and she remains a quiet creative force living in the little Alberta town of Calahoo where their family was raised in the 50s and 60s and where she runs a sign business in her spare time .

Donald Walters), who left his body in 2013, was a direct disciple of the great master, Paramhansa Yogananda, and an internationally known author, lecturer, and composer. Widely recognized as one of the worlds foremost authorities on meditation and yoga, he taught these principles and techniques to hundreds of thousands of students around the world. In 1968, Kriyananda founded Ananda Village in Nevada City, California, dedicated to spreading the spirit of friendship, service, and community around the globe. Ananda is recognized as one of the most successful intentional communities in the world; over 1,000 people reside in Ananda communities in the US, India, and Italy. The European retreat and community located in Assisi, Italy, also serves Ananda meditation groups in Europe and Russia. Ananda Village is also home to The Expanding Light, a world-renowned guest retreat facility where thousands of visitors annually visit for renewal or instruction in many aspects of meditation, yoga, and the spiritual life. The nearby Ananda Meditation Retreat, located on Anandas first property, functions both as a retreat and as the site for Anandas Institute of Alternative Living. An advocate of simple living and high thinking, Swami Kriyanandas more than 140 books cover a wide range of subjects emphasizing the need to live wisely by ones own experience of life, and not by abstract theories or dogmas. A composer since 1964, Kriyananda wrote over 400 musical works. His music is inspiring, soothing, and uplifting. Many of his later albums are instrumental works with brief affirmations or visualizations. Chuck Dilberto, of Awareness Magazine wrote, "[His] words and music are full of his life and light. His sole intention is to heal, something we could all use during these chaotic times." Through Crystal Clarity Publishers, his works have sold over 3 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over 25 languages.
