Discover the magic of today's most popular spiritual practices in this fresh and funny account of embracing a year full of astrology, reiki, crystals and more!Introducing Emma Howarth: lifestyle journalist turned soul-seeker. Writing with humour and curiosity, Emma shows us that we don't need to fly to Italy, India or Bali to have an adventure and find inner peace - there's plenty of magic right on our doorstep.At the end of 217, feeling burnt out and broken, Emma decided to go on a year-long quest for inner peace - from the comfort of her own home. She tried all sorts of spiritual practices in a bid to derive more meaning from life. The result was a year that changed everything. A year that turned frantic chaos into life in the slow lane. A year of magic and moonlight and pink sky sunrises. A year fragranced with incense and burning herbs (that sometimes smelled suspiciously illegal).In A Year of Mystical Thinking, Emma shares her sparkling and fun account of the year that transformed her life and demystifies the world of new age spirituality, helping you to find practices that will bring new meaning and joy to your life.Each month Emma introduces a new spiritual practice, with practical, actionable tips - from how to create the perfect vision board to living by the phases of the Moon. Follow Emma's journey as she connects with spirit guides in February, obsesses over astrology in July and learns about Reiki in November, and be inspired to embark on your own year of mystical thinking!

This was a fun book and the author’s narration is beautifully done. I enjoyed the author’s often poetic prose and I thought the ending was well done; a great wrap up. I also appreciated the author’s authenticity in the epilogue. Deducting stars because the mention of politics and politically trigger phrases on several occasions was a huge turn off. In the first half of the book, there were at least three references to cultural appropriation. Not only did this “take the fun out of it,” but it is self-contradictory because literally all of the practices mentioned are appropriated from another culture. Once I got over that, I was greeted by the author’s slamming of American politics toward the end of the book. I did not expect this when I chose to purchase the book. I was looking for spiritual inspiration. Political commentary detracted from, and in my opinion, undermined an otherwise good book.

Well narrated; a fun read

What I loved is how as a researcher you can tell the author is used to being grounded in facts and science that can be proven without a doubt. Her mystical journey didn’t play by the rules she had set her standards to live by and shattered it. It was everything she needed and nothing she expected. It brought her back to whimsical innerstandings of her youth she lost being groomed by adulthood. I loved her journey back to who she always was while still retained who she became. Her disbelief and doubt made it that much richer once she experienced something, “you had to be there” to understand. This was a great reminder that we fight with our intuition and curiosity until we tame the light right out of our lives. She gave me so many ideas on how to realistically reignite the magical sometimes mystical fire back into my routine as a busy mom, wife and business owner.

I enjoyed the audio book so much I ordered the paperback. This was a completely new genre for me and it was fun to go on this mystical adventure… firmly grounded in reality.

Mystical. Whimsical. Delightful.
