One day, you're on a family vacation, a reasonably skeptical adult who thinks manifesting is just a fancy word for wishful thinking. The next thing you know, you're lying on a table while a past-life regressionist guides you through memories of lives you don't remember living. And the weirdest part? It starts making a strange kind of sense. Did I Just Have a Spiritual Awakening, or Was it Something I Ate? is the story of Jim Alstott's magical, mystical journey through Dolores Cannon's renowned twelve stages of spiritual awakening. Each section is anchored by a song that defines that stage of his transformation, because if the universe was cracking him open, at least he was getting a kick-ass playlist out of it. This isn't a book about having all the answers. It's about asking better questions, staying open when everything in you wants to dismiss what you're experiencing, and learning to trust a process you can't control. He wrote it for anyone who's ever felt the pull toward something bigger but worried they'd have to trade in their polo for a straitjacket to explore it. You won't find any preachy spiritual bypassing here. Just one guy's honest, sometimes profane, frequently bewildered account of waking up, accompanied by the music that got him through. His willingness to sit in uncertainty, laugh at himself, and share both the transcendent and awkward moments creates an intimacy with readers, meeting them exactly where they are.
