In this heartbreaking, extremely personal memoir of a life touched by profound tragedy, author Ashta-deb invites readers into her world in the hopes that they might benefit from the discovered remedies that at last elevated her above it.
Here is a soul who had suffered abuse at the hands of both parents, abandonment by her mother, and the tragic death of her thirteen-year-old sister by the time she was just nine years old.
As she struggles to emerge from this devastation over the next long stretch of her life, her past is relentless in its haunting. It takes many years before doctors diagnose her with PTSD, and many more for her to find the right combination of Western medicine and Eastern wisdom to heal her. Her medication with cannabis, experimentation with Ayahuasca in Peru and finally a breakthrough healing with psilocybin offers a diverse look at mental healing.
In the background of it all is her dedicated cultivation of yogic and psychic abilities. At last, Life Happens to Us endorses the importance of embracing unresolved childhood experiences. It is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand their true potential as a human being.

About
|
Ashta-deb retired from the Bookkeeping profession after realizing it was one of the contributing factors to her depression. Now, after her incredible experiences, her intuitive wisdom directs her to build a sacred healing center.
Ashta-deb has the unique ability to apply centuries old teachings of Vedanta to alleviate modern day suffering. Drawing on her in-depth studies of the Vedic texts she helps you to look within and experience who you were, who you became and who you are.
Ashta-deb starts her day with meditation and pranayama. She continues to read books on Vedanta and experiments with ancient yoga techniques as described in the scriptures. She has devoted her life to helping others by way of her self-healing workshops, seminars and retreats.
She enjoys her family time with her husband, Sam and four children in Ontario, Canada.
The vision for Ashta Ashram is for a warm inviting place that cultivates love and spirituality within all hearts. A place that embraces, teaches and promotes clarity of mind, purity of heart, and connection to one’s Soul. It will be a place for many to call home. Life Happens To Us is the foundation and will be the completion of this dream. Partial proceeds of this book will contribute to bringing this vision to fruition.
