Review by Kirkus Reviews:

“In this memoir, Beepat addresses her journey to becoming a healer and the obstacles she faced along the way. The author knows a thing or two about spiritual growth. During her spiritual journey, she writes, she faced many physical and mental obstacles and challenges. She recounts in detail her inner processes for turning her problems into lessons for growth.

She sets her book apart from others in the genre by offering a straightforward, conversational account of what it was like for her to become a healer. Her candid willingness to share the less-appealing parts of becoming a spiritual guide makes the book feel like a breath of fresh air.

Over the course of the book, Beepat successfully presents one central truth: Living an awakened life means addressing both the good and the bad-the virtuous and the non-virtuous. To truly heal oneself, she realized, sheer honesty about one’s struggle is key. As a result, readers on similar spiritual quests may see the author as a role model of self-awareness and inner courage.”
