Astral Travelling, The Avatar And Me by Richard Holmes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2000 my life hit rock bottom. I was totally spent and didn\u2019t see any way out of the mire that I found myself in. This book tells the story how (with a little help) I managed to turn my life around.<\/p>\n

Miraculously at the onset of the new millenium I started to embark on a series of truly amazing out of body adventures, and as the years have gone by I have learned to pass through solid objects, propel myself in whatever direction I wish to travel, and unbelievably, \u201cwill\u201d myself back into my body when I became bored with the journey.<\/p>\n

As if that wasn\u2019t incredible enough, I have also been blessed by the Avatar of the age himself, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, who first entered my life in 2001. Since then I have had a series of truly wonderous experiences with Baba. The highlights of which were being held in his arms during an out of body experience in 2006 and seeing him in physical form at his ashram, Prasanthi Nilayam (abode of the highest peace) in Puttaparthi, Southern India in October 2009.<\/p>\n

Review for Astral Travelling, The Avatar and Me:-<\/p>\n

This is a true story you will want to read from cover to cover in one sitting, because you will find it hard to put down. Having been to see Richard on two occasions and having taken part in one of his Vedic Chanting and Meditation Workshops, I was truly amazed by this gentle man and the outcome of each visit for me personally. In reading this story I feel privileged to have been able to \u2018share\u2019 his very personal journey. What comes across so strongly is the way in which he embraces everything that comes his way and his appreciation for the lessons he has learnt from the negative things life often presents. It is a story with immense heart to it and I feel reading it has changed me in some way, inspired me to open up to something I\u2019ve only recently (and tentatively) started to explore. The account of his trip to Southern India was fascinating and is told with an honestly that is refreshing. This isn\u2019t a book that \u2018preaches\u2019 but a book that chronicles one man\u2019s special journey from being \u2018lost\u2019 to being \u2018found\u2019. A truly inspiring read.
