Ecstatic Journey: The Transforming Power of Mystical Experience Book

Within this spiritual autobiography, bestselling author Sophy Burnham (author of The Art Crowd and A Book of Angels) reveals the myths, ordinariness, and facts of mystical experience. The myth, according to Burnham, is that angels will appear before you in times of soul-wrenching duress. The fact is that mystical experiences rarely happen when you expect them. And the ordinariness is that an encounter with the divine can occur at any time, such as immediately following a weary prayer in a bathtub (as it has with Burnham). Threading her own story with numerous firsthand accounts of mystical encounters, Burnham demystifies the mysterious while showing readers how to recognize, invite, and learn from extraordinary encounters. --Gail HudsonRead More

    In this rich & deeply personal book, the author describes her own arduous & momentous journey into mystical awareness. She gives us scores of first-hand accounts of mystical encounters as recorded by ordinary people today, as well as by saints, seers, ecstatics, & holy men & women of every faith. In addition, she delves into the physical side of mystical experience, such as levitation & psychic ability, & warns against an overemphasis on such powers. She also describes the practices that invite mystical experience -- prayer & fasting, meditation, ascetic discipline -- & points out the landmarks that one passes on this spiritual journey.
